Chapter 147
Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Keira Olsen knew that no matter what she said, these people would not believe her.
It was like the class reunion a few days ago…
So she didn’t want to make empty claims and decided to bring out evidence, hoping to convince Mrs. Olsen.
She looked at Mrs. Olsen and slowly said, “Madam, Mr. Horton and I truly are p>
Before she could finish, a hand suddenly reached out from the side, snatching the marriage certificate from Mrs. Olsen’s hand.
Isla Olsen’s sharp voice interrupted her, “Do you think by showing a marriage certificate, you can prove your innocence? Keira, do you think we are all blind p>
She didn’t even look at the document and attempted to tear it apart, but her manicured nails prevented her from using her strength. She ruthlessly threw it on the ground and repeatedly crushed it with her high heels.
Keira’s pupils constricted, and she grabbed Isla’s arm with one hand and swung the other at her!
“Slap p>
A loud slap echoed through the corridor. Unlike the one Mrs. Olsen dealt, a visible handprint formed on Isla’s face this time.
Keira glared at her fiercely, “Isla, do you believe I could call the police right now and accuse you of damaging national documents, and you’d end up in jail p>
At these words, Isla’s fingers tightened, but a glance at Mrs. Olsen bolstered her courage, “Go ahead, call the police, and why not summon some reporters too? Let everyone see whether it’s me, the unfaithful woman playing the mistress, who should be denounced, or me, the bearer of justice, who should be blamed p>
Keira said sternly, “I told you, I am not the mistress. Lewis Horton and I are p>
“Slap p>
Suddenly, something swept across her face.
Keira’s words halted abruptly; she was frozen, disbelieving as she slowly turned her head to look at Mrs. Olsen, who had struck her.
Mrs. Olsen’s eyes were red, her body trembling slightly. She stared at Keira, “Keira, if you still listen to me, leave this place with me p>
Keira’s eyes widened in astonishment.
Actually, it didn’t hurt a bit…
After all, Mrs. Olsen hadn’t been willing to strike her forcefully, just grazing her cheek.
She had been beaten by Poppy Hill from a young age; this slap was the gentlest she had ever received…
Yet, Keira had never felt as heartbroken as she did in that moment, the pain so intense that she momentarily struggled to breathe.
She clenched her fists tightly, incredulous as she stared at Mrs. Olsen, and after a long moment, she found her voice again, “…You don’t believe me either p>
Mrs. Olsen hadn’t expected herself to strike, and as she looked at her trembling fingers, she let out a bitter laugh upon hearing those words.
She had always believed in Keira’s character. When Keira was a child, she would rather starve and rummage through the trash for food, refusing even to casually take a cake left out on the table…
Back then, she had an enormous respect for Keira.
And had gradually taken her to heart.
But she hadn’t expected her to do something like this…
Mrs. Olsen had already gathered detailed information; Lewis Horton had been married two years ago, but Keira had only registered their marriage this year. She couldn’t fathom how the two could be husband and wife.
And the photos Isla had shown her were not doctored, they were real…
In the photos, the intimacy and looks in Keira and Lewis Horton’s eyes clearly displayed their mutual affection…
So, how could she believe it p>
Mrs. Olsen closed her eyes, feeling nothing but dizziness from the rage, and ultimately could only say to Keira Olsen, “Leave p>
Keira Olsen was shocked. “Mrs. Olsen, it’s not what you think, Mr. Horton and I p>
Isla Olsen felt a surge of pleasure at this scene.
Keira Olsen was too capable in confrontations, always leaving Isla feeling powerless when facing her.
But Keira would never strike back at one person, and that was Mrs. Olsen!
With a mocking tone, she said, “Didn’t you hear what my mom said? She told you to leave. She never wants to see you again, doesn’t want to see such a despicable person! You and your mom are both shameless mistresses p>
Keira Olsen continued to look at Mrs. Olsen, “Mrs. Olsen p>
Isla Olsen stepped forward, blocking her from Mrs. Olsen: “Are you leaving or not? Staying here with the intention of angering my mom to death so your mom can take her place? What exactly is your motive p>
Just as she finished speaking, Mrs. Olsen’s body went limp, and she almost collapsed to the ground!
“Shirley p>
Taylor Olsen hastened over, steadying Mrs. Olsen’s staggering body. He looked around in shock and asked, “What happened p>
Isla Olsen immediately said, “My mom detests Keira for being a mistress and lover to my uncle here, it’s too disgraceful, and told her to leave. She refused, and it drove my mom to this p>
Upon hearing this, Taylor Olsen glared angrily at Keira Olsen: “You ungrateful creature! How kind has Shirley been to you from your childhood? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog p>
Keira Olsen looked at them, momentarily at a loss for words.
She suddenly gave a low laugh, finding it quite meaningless.
Nobody listened patiently to her explanations…
She lowered her gaze, her expression indifferent: “Mrs. Olsen, take care of your health, there’s no need to be angry on my account p>
Leaving these words, she turned and walked away.
Mrs. Olsen leaned on Taylor Olsen, watching Keira’s departing figure, wanting to reach out and call her back, yet not knowing what to say…
Isla Olsen pointed to the lounge and said, “Dad, Mom, why don’t you go and rest for a while p>
Taylor Olsen then helped Mrs. Olsen through the door.
It took a while for Mrs. Olsen to regain her composure, after which Taylor Olsen angrily said, “Shirley, why are you getting upset over such an unfilial girl? She’s not worth your effort! Her mother was shameless, scheming her way into my life to have her. She’s got Poppy Hill’s blood in her bones, selfish, and without moral bottom line p>
Mrs. Olsen looked on in a daze, feeling deeply disappointed.
“You’re always strict with Isla, constantly telling me how Keira is better than her. Look at them now, Keira’s moral standards are far worse than Isla’s! No matter what, Isla would never degrade herself to be someone’s mistress p>
Taylor Olsen took Mrs. Olsen’s hand: “Shirley, promise me, stop worrying about Keira, draw a clear line from now on, and don’t distress yourself anymore, okay p>
Mrs. Olsen closed her eyes in pain.
Had Keira truly gone astray?
She clenched her fists tightly, always finding it hard to believe, but the reality was right before her eyes…
Seeing her silent, Taylor Olsen simply said, “Do you feel any better now? If so, let’s leave, showing up today was at least an explanation to the Horton family p>
Mrs. Olsen, trembling, stood up with the support of Taylor Olsen and walked out of the lounge.
By then, the outside had quieted down, everyone had moved to the front hall.
As they stepped outside, they saw a lone marriage certificate lying on the ground. Mrs. Olsen paused, stepped forward, and picked it up…
