Chapter 199 Revelation

Chapter 199 Revelation

After the recording was presented, all the evidence was complete.

….

Holly sneered, “Surely you won’t say that the recording was also forged by me? I don’t have that ability!”

Now Isla had no way to deny it anymore.

Upon hearing the recording, Jake was completely dumbfounded.

He looked at Isla incredulously. “I never thought your mind could be so dark!”

Isla wanted to explain, but opening her mouth, she didn’t know what to say.

Even Melissa frowned. She had never imagined that Keira would have prepared such comprehensive evidence, and now it was too late to deny it!

Angry, she glanced at Isla and nervously looked at Oliver, only to see him frowning slightly, clearly very dissatisfied with how the situation was unfolding.

Leaping to action, Melissa raised her hand and slapped Isla hard. “You whore!”

Covering her face, Isla glared at Keira. “Are you satisfied with me coming to this, Keira?!”

She screamed furiously, “Isn’t this what you wanted, to pull this high and mighty Miss Olsen down from her cloud? Now that I’ve fallen into the mire, are you happy?!”

Covering her face, she broke into tears. “You illegitimate daughter! You bitch! It’s all because of you that I ended up here! It was you, always showing off at home, making me feel I had to marry Jake to get our parents’ attention! It’s you, all because of you!!”

She knew that with things as they were, she could only push all the blame onto Keira to save herself!

She cried out deliberately. “Jake, I was forced into this by this illegitimate daughter! She’s too good at acting, and she charmed Mom and Dad so they only have eyes for her, not for me… Jake, I was wrong, but I really had no choice. Only by marrying you could I outdo her…”

These words struck a chord with Jake.

The illegitimate daughter from the first branch of the family was also better than Jake in every aspect, giving him and Melissa such a strong sense of crisis.

The thing that Jake and Melissa hated the most was “illegitimate daughter,” and even more so an excellent “illegitimate daughter”!!

Jake understood this feeling too well.

Even more so, this feeling surpassed the anger he felt when Isla deceived him. He grabbed Isla by the shoulders and turned to look directly at Keira, roaring, “Keira, what grudge do we have with you that you target Isla like this?!”

Keira was perplexed.

She found it funny.

If Isla hadn’t provoked her, would she go to such lengths to prove her innocence and say the child wasn’t Jake’s?

Seeing this, Poppy immediately pounced on Keira, hitting and cursing her. “You ungrateful creature! By bullying Isla like this, it’s your existence that caused her to become what she is now! Don’t you realize your mistakes yet? Do you have to compete with Isla, to make her be divorced by the Horton family before you’re satisfied? Why did I even give birth to a daughter like you? I might as well kill you right here!”

Keira pushed her away.

Poppy stumbled back a step, then crashed onto the ground, “I can’t live like this, oh heavens, open your eyes and look! Look at this damned girl; she even hits her mother!”

Her crying drew the attention of the reporters.

Poppy pointed at Keira and raged. “I gave birth to you and raised you. Is this how you repay me? You even hit me! I get it now. You blame me for being a mistress, for my lowly background, right? That’s why you never hold me in regard. You don’t listen to me, you ungrateful wretch! If you really want to sever ties with me, then give back this life of yours!”

Jake also berated, “Keira, you illegitimate daughter, how dare you!”

The reporters started to speak.

“Mrs. Horton, no matter what, how could you raise a hand against your own mother?”

“Yes, even if she was a mistress, she gave birth to you and raised you… how could you hit her?”

“Since ancient times in Crera, filial piety has been most important. Besides, your mother hasn’t done anything too outrageous. She just scolded you a bit, not wanting you to keep harming Miss Olsen and wanting you to take the right path. How could you do this to her?”

“Even animals recognize the depth of a mother’s love for her children. How can you, being human, treat her this way?”

“Illegitimate daughters have no manners! There’s really something wrong with her character!!”

“…”

Everyone turned their accusations toward Keira, questioning and denouncing her one after another.

Isla watched from the side, her lips slowly curling into a smile.

The scene became noisy, and the sound of condemnation reached the stairwell.

In the stairwell, a fierce struggle was also taking place.

Uncle Olsen led his bodyguards up the stairs, while Lewis’s bodyguards stood in opposition.

Uncle Olsen’s cold eyes met Lewis’s. “Step aside.”

“No.”

A hint of madness appeared in Uncle Olsen’s eyes, and wisps of red blood vessels stained his sockets; his entire demeanor was changing.

It seemed like he was shifting from calm to crazed.

His presence suddenly transformed, and he took a step forward. “I’ll ask one last time. Will you step aside?”

Lewis stood tall and straight, his figure imposing like a spear, sharp and defiant. “No.”

A wicked smile curled at the corner of Uncle Olsen’s lips, and then he suddenly threw a punch!

Lewis seemed to be expecting it, for the moment Uncle Olsen moved, he immediately counterattacked.

“Bang!”

Their fists met in mid-air, and at the moment of collision, it seemed like even the air vibrated.

Both men put their full strength into that punch, and after it, both were forced to take two steps back.

Uncle Olsen glared at him, his eyes extremely cold.

Lewis frowned and said, “Uncle, my wife isn’t wrong, and you won’t get past me today.”

“Are you sure?”

No sooner had Uncle Olsen spoken than he made a gesture at his waist, and suddenly, there was a silver pistol in his hand!

“Boss, be careful!”

Lewis’s bodyguards were about to step forward, but Lewis raised his hand to stop them, and the bodyguards immediately stood around him, alert and watching the handgun.

Because they had accompanied their boss to Crera’s territory, these bodyguards hadn’t brought guns. They had to be lawful citizens.

Lewis wasn’t carrying either.

Uncle Olsen fixed his gaze on him. “My gun doesn’t have eyes. Lewis, of all my juniors, you’re one I rather admire. I’ll give you one last chance. Will you step aside?”

Lewis stepped forward. “No.”

Uncle Olsen sneered. “Good.”

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a voice full of righteousness suddenly rang out from the hallway. “Enough! Keira isn’t some illegitimate daughter! She’s Mrs. Olsen’s biological daughter!!”
