Chapter 151: Chapter 151 Chapter 151: Chapter 151 Keira Olsen followed Lewis Horton into the back entrance of the banquet hall, and just as she was about to head toward the front hall, suddenly a servant rushed over from the side.
She was carrying several glasses of red wine, so she didn’t see the path clearly, and it looked like she was going to bump into Keira Olsen.
Keira Olsen subconsciously stretched out her arm to block, but the next moment someone yanked her fiercely by the waist, and Lewis Horton stood protectively in front of her.
“Crash p>
The wine glasses hit his back, spilling onto the floor.
The red wine stained his white shirt.
“Mr. Horton, Miss Olsen, I’m so sorry, so sorry…” The servant hurriedly and carefully apologized, completely flustered.
Keira Olsen, however, was looking at the tall man in front of her.
In the past, when she encountered problems, she always braced herself, but just now, she felt what it was like to be protected.
Lewis Horton carefully checked the girl in his arms to make sure she was fine before he was reassured, frowned as he felt the dampness on his body, and said to the servant, “Be careful, don’t run into the guests p>
“Yes, yes p>
The servant knelt down and started cleaning.
Lewis Horton then said to Keira Olsen, “I’m going upstairs to change my clothes, you go keep grandma company p>
He certainly couldn’t appear so disheveled in public with Keira Olsen.
“Okay p>
Keira Olsen watched Lewis Horton go upstairs before she entered the hall.
After entering the hall through the back door, the first area was a lounge.
At the moment, that area was surrounded by a group of high school classmates invited by Jake Horton, chatting away—nearly the same group from the last reunion.
Erin Davis, who had been fired from her company and couldn’t find a job, looked even gloomier than before and was making sarcastic comments, “I just saw Mrs. Horton, which proves that Keira Olsen was lying last time, she is indeed Mr. Horton’s mistress! How shameless p>
Charles Riley was trying to defend her, “There must be some misunderstanding p>
“What misunderstanding could there be?” Erin Davis sneered, “That day it was clear what kind of relationship Mr. Horton had with her, otherwise, why would he call her his woman? I’m curious to see, when Mr. Horton and Mrs. Horton come out later, what you will have left to say p>
Charles Riley: p>
Keira Olsen didn’t go over but looked toward the seat where old Mrs. Horton was sitting, noticing she wasn’t there, probably in the restroom.
She stood still, planning to wait for old Mrs. Horton to return.
Suddenly there was a commotion at the door, Keira Olsen turned to look, only to see Poppy Hill somehow had gotten in.
She was dressed in plain clothes, which stood out conspicuously among the crowd of fine dresses, quickly catching the attention of others. Everyone began whispering, “Who is that p>
Keira Olsen frowned, knowing that Poppy Hill had definitely come looking for her.
Just as she was about to go over and lead her away, Isla Olsen had already appeared by her side, “Aunt Hill, are you here looking for Keira p>
Her voice was loud, drawing the immediate attention of those around.
Poppy Hill then responded with a beaming smile, “No, I’m here for the Horton Family hostess p>
Isla Olsen’s gaze swept past Keira Olsen and landed on Madeleine Davis who was beside her, deliberately raising her voice, “That’s the little auntie, currently the hostess of the Horton Family, what do you want with her p>
Poppy Hill immediately approached Madeleine Davis, nodding and bowing with a smile. After a quick glance around, her eyes darted, and she shouted loudly, “Mrs. Horton, I’m Keira Olsen’s mother… My daughter has been slept with by Mr. Horton, it can’t be for nothing, right? I’ve come today to get some kind of explanation p>
Madeleine Davis appeared to be startled by her manner, retreating quickly like a frightened deer.
But Poppy Hill was not about to let her go, seizing her wrist directly, “Mrs. Horton, don’t go! Let’s have a good talk about how you and Keira Olsen will get along in the future p>
Madeleine Davis panicked, her eyes filling with unshed tears, seemingly terrified.
Isla Olsen stepped forward with a frown, “Let go! If you don’t let go, I’m calling security p>
Upon hearing this, Poppy Hill immediately sat down on the ground, “I don’t care, I can’t just let my daughter be slept with for nothing. Mrs. Horton, you and my daughter are now sisters, from now on you’ll both live in the Horton residence, you should get along harmoniously p>
Madeleine Davis looked like she had been frightened out of her wits, unable to utter a word.
Isla Olsen then said angrily, “Keira Olsen is already married to someone else p>
Poppy Hill, however, was banging on the floor, “Yeah, my daughter’s married, and now she’s living unclearly and ambiguously in the Horton residence, what’s this all about? You must give me an explanation p>
Isla Olsen posed righteously, “What explanation does a mistress expect to get p>
Poppy Hill had come today to nauseate Keira Olsen and to affirm her identity as a mistress for Isla Olsen, so upon hearing this she immediately raised her voice, “What about a mistress? A mistress is a person too, the law doesn’t say people can’t be mistresses! Can’t you learn from Mrs. Olsen, who raised me and my daughter in the Olsen Family, living together in harmony p>
Keira Olsen stood not far away, listening to these outrageous and inconceivable words, a trace of mockery flashed in her eyes!
It was definitely Isla Olsen who had summoned Poppy Hill.
In the Olsen residence, Poppy Hill made her yield to Isla Olsen everywhere. She felt it was due to Poppy Hill’s guilt, so she tolerated it.
But why did Poppy Hill hate her so much, to do such things, intent on ruining her reputation p>
Is this really her biological mother?
Upon hearing these words, Isla Olsen immediately looked at her, “Keira Olsen, I hadn’t realized that your reason for staying in the Horton house was this p>
Her words turned all the attention toward Keira Olsen, and the people around her began to point at her and gossip:
“My goodness, that’s shameless! I’ve never seen such a brazen mistress, even talking about being sisters, does she think this is the old society p>
“Didn’t you hear the implication in Isla Olsen’s words? Her mother is a mistress, and now she’s here acting like someone else’s lover, truly the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree p>
“I heard that this mistress was provoking Mrs. Horton backstage just now, taking advantage because Mrs. Horton doesn’t have a powerful maternal family to back her! I can’t understand how the Olsen Family could raise an illegitimate daughter like her p>
“Absolutely speechless and laughable p>
Amidst the crowd’s arguing, Rebecca Allen came out angrily, scolding, “Don’t talk nonsense. Keira Olsen couldn’t possibly do such a thing. Her staying with the Horton Family is because Old Mrs. Horton likes her, it has nothing to do with Mr. Horton, and her relationship with Mr. Horton is pure and innocent p>
Keira Olsen remained calm and composed.
None of these accusations could possibly hurt her.
She didn’t bother to retort, knowing well that these people would never believe her words.
If Lewis Horton wanted to go public, he certainly had prepared for this.
Just as she thought of this, a sound came through, and Keira Olsen, along with everyone else, turned their heads, only to see a backdrop in the middle of the hall slowly falling…
