Chapter 166
Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Accompanied by the clear voice of the young girl, Chasing Wind began to run at a leisurely pace.
Kiera Olsen didn’t aim to show off her skills or flaunt anything; she merely wanted to complete a lap and fulfill the task.
To prevent Lewis Horton from losing face because of her.
And to curb Ellis Olsen’s arrogance.
She, clad in a white riding outfit, rode a tall horse with her spine straight, her leisurely pace unwittingly becoming the focal point of everyone present.
Isla Olsen also mounted her horse.
With no choice, as Ellis Olsen had entered the field, they all wanted to accompany him. She rode slowly, which wasn’t a big deal, as long as she didn’t start racing, there was no risk to the baby in her womb.
Isla Olsen was followed by several sycophants she had called over, who were flattering her with bright smiles:
“Miss Isla Olsen, it’s truly your mother who is impressive; to think she could invite Young Master Olsen from Clance to this equestrian gathering p>
“Not just Young Master Olsen, you shouldn’t overlook those other nobles either! They come from very powerful families p>
“Isla, I thought your family was just a middle-class household, never imagined you had such impressive connections. Why haven’t you boasted about this before? Your family is really low-key p>
“Isla, your family name is also Olsen; don’t tell me your family has any relatives in the Clance Olsen Family p>
Isla Olsen had already looked into this matter early on.
Indeed, there was a connection.
Taylor Olsen was indeed a distant relative of the Clance Olsen Family, separated by countless generations. Because they were so distantly related, both families had little contact.
Taylor Olsen grew up in Oceanion and attended university in Clance.
After graduating from university, he married Mrs. Olsen, Jodie South, and then returned to Oceanion…
When Jodie South was in Clance, she had connections with many influential family youths and seemed to have good relationships.
This time, she had casually sent a few text messages to those in Clance, and those who came today did so either out of respect for Ellis Olsen or for Jodie South’s influence.
Overall, these wealthy second-generation individuals were indeed very impressive contacts.
Isla Olsen looked toward Ellis Olsen and saw Jake Horton already mingling with them, chatting and laughing.
Ellis Olsen, undeniably a standout in the Olsen Family generation, was indeed very accommodating to Jake Horton for the sake of Mrs. Olsen’s face.
Regardless of what Ellis Olsen truly felt inside, outwardly, he got along well with Jake Horton.
But Jake Horton, still young and arrogant, wore a slight look of smugness on his face, unlike Lewis Horton’s practiced depth.
Isla Olsen’s gaze deepened.
Had she known Mrs. Olsen had so many connections, she wouldn’t have fixated on Jake Horton. If she could have married Lewis Horton, perhaps she wouldn’t have had to struggle so much today?
…How fortunate Kiera Olsen really is!
Isla Olsen glanced at Kiera Olsen and gave her horse a nudge to quicken her pace, catching up with her: “Kiera, Uncle’s horse, Chasing Wind, really seems to understand humans; it’s your first time riding and you’re so steady, it hasn’t shown any temper at all p>
This comment made the group of wealthy daughters following her laugh:
“Looking at her, it can’t be her first time riding, right? Who wouldn’t be scared the first time p>
“Definitely not her first time. Didn’t we just say? When Miss Isla Olsen took horseback riding lessons as a child, she was always there, even serving as a human mounting block for Miss Isla Olsen p>
“Ah? Is that still a thing? I’ve only seen it on TV, where eunuchs would kneel down and let the emperor step on their backs to mount the horse, never seen it in reality. Miss Isla Olsen, why don’t you and Kiera Olsen perform it for us p>
Isla Olsen’s smile deepened, “Don’t say that, times have changed. Kiera is now my aunt, and Uncle is right beside us p>
“That doesn’t change the fact that she’s an illegitimate daughter! I heard when she was a child, she even had to bring you water for washing your feet p>
“Ew, a foot-washing maid, how disgusting p>
Kiera Olsen’s eyes turned cold as she stared directly at Isla Olsen, “Was it you who pushed me just now p>
Isla Olsen narrowed her eyes, “Kiera, what are you talking about? I don’t understand… But Mr. Horton’s horse is quite fierce, you better be careful p>
Kiera Olsen didn’t waste words and simply gave a gentle tug on Chasing Wind’s reins.
Chasing Wind immediately became visibly agitated and impatient, casting a glare at Isla’s horse, snorting softly out of his nostrils.
Isla’s horse was instantly startled, jumping to the side and half-kneeling down, causing Isla to fall straight off the horse!
Isla rolled off, her riding outfit smeared with dirt from the ground.
But since the soil of the riding field was soft, it didn’t do much harm to her child.
Yet she was an utter mess, utterly embarrassing.
“Miss Olsen p>
Some staff and her henchmen immediately rushed to her side, anxiously inquiring, “Are you alright p>
Isla clenched her fists tight, “Kiera Olsen, you did that on purpose p>
Kiera Olsen, however, responded slowly while adjusting the horse’s reins, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand. Plus, this is my first time riding a horse, so I don’t really know how to control it. Mr. Horton’s horse is very feisty. Aren’t you good at riding? How could you get so close to me? That’s a bit careless, isn’t it p>
Isla: p>
That statement felt all too familiar!
She was so angry that her whole body trembled.
Just then, Jake Horton and Ellis Olsen noticed something was amiss and had already galloped over.
Jake dismounted and walked over to Isla, “Is the child okay p>
Isla really wanted to roll her eyes.
But seeing that Ellis also glanced over, she turned directly towards Kiera, biting her lip, “Aunt, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have disrespected you, I shouldn’t let everyone bring up your status as an illegitimate daughter p>
She lowered her head, sounding aggrieved, “I’ll go back and have a good talk with my mom, asking her to accept you, to not quarrel with you anymore… You can return to the Olsen Family whenever you want, I won’t stop you anymore, but could you please not harbor any ill thoughts towards my unborn child? It’s innocent p>
As she spoke, her eyes began to redden.
Kiera Olsen frowned deeply, “What are you talking about? When did I want to return to the Olsen Family? Mrs. Olsen has never blamed me p>
Isla immediately nodded, “Yes, my mom wouldn’t dare to blame you… After all, you are now legally my uncle’s wife p>
Ellis Olsen, who was listening, frowned even more. Suddenly, without a word, he rode his horse up beside Kiera and harshly whipped her horse’s backside!
Chasing Wind, taken aback, immediately leaped forward and started running away.
Ellis Olsen, an excellent rider, followed close beside Chasing Wind and sneered, “Miss Olsen, you like to bully others with your power? Then let’s let you taste what it’s like to be bullied p>
Kiera Olsen:?
