Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Isla Olsen deliberately created the illusion that Keira Olsen had pushed her, so defending herself now would be the lowest tactic.
Lewis Horton knew well the art of negotiation.
Attack is the best defense, so he didn’t explain anything about Keira not laying a hand on her and simply released this statent.
Upon hearing this, the few people in the room were slightly stunned!
Isla, lying in the hospital bed, flickered her eyes and with reddened eyes said, “Mom, Jake, my uncle is defending my aunt so much that he’s even willing to tell such lies. How can I stay in the Horton Family after this?”
At her crying, Jake Horton imdiately reacted, “Alright, Uncle, no wonder you previously told that this child isn’t mine. You’ve been setting the stage to hurt this kid all along, haven’t you?”
“And you, Keira Olsen, you didn’t inadvertently hurt her because of a dispute, you definitely did it on purpose! Just because you can’t have children, you’re jealous of our children, aren’t you?!”
Jake Horton was so angry that he was shaking all over, and he rushed over to Keira Olsen, “Keira Olsen, I truly didn’t expect you to be this kind of person! Four years in college, I treated you so well… I can’t believe you would do sothing like this!”
Madness shone in the depths of his eyes.
When Keira heard him bringing up their college past, she couldn’t help but also beco sowhat distracted.
The hysterical man in front of her was once that innocent and sunny boy from college…
She silently sighed and calmly said, “This child really isn’t yours.”
“Shut up! Don’t I know what happened between Isla and ? To clear your own na, you’re saying these things! Keira Olsen, you have truly let down! I will pursue this matter to the end!”
lissa Knight imdiately started crying, “My poor grandson, just because of their jealousy, he’s gone… Since Lewis Horton beca the Family Head, our first branch has been giving way at every turn. Now they’re even persecuting Jake’s children. Lewis, tell , what more do you want from us?”
Oliver Horton also deeply sighed, “Lewis, from childhood to adulthood, where have I ever wronged you… Why are you specifically targeting our first branch? Grandma’s love went all to you, you also control the Horton Family, can’t you just let us live in peace?”
After saying this, he turned his head toward Nathan Horton, “Dad, for our future safety, maybe you should let us separate from the family! I’m truly scared, Lewis has beco unfamiliar since coming back from abroad. Now, with my daughter-in-law lying in the hospital bed, he not only shows no remorse but is here slandering her… We can’t live like this!”
He lowered his head and wiped away nonexistent tears from the corner of his eyes.
Nathan Horton sternly accused Lewis Horton, “Ungrateful creature, you’ve been a bastard since you were a kid, and you’re still the sa as an adult, are you satisfied only when you’ve driven your brother and his family to death?!”
Lewis Horton looked at them coldly, finding their words laughable.
He bullied Oliver Horton since he was a kid?
By the ti he was born, Oliver Horton was already 14 years old!
As a child, ignorant of his ways, any collision with him could result in Oliver using force against him.
Several tis he nearly died from his malicious pranks!
Even at nine years old when he was kidnapped, it was Oliver Horton who took him out of the house and left him at the train station!
Such an “innocent” and “pitiful” older brother!
And with the added favoritism of this father… Lewis Horton’s heart had long since turned cold.
At this mont, a pair of hands suddenly clasped his own.
Lewis Horton was montarily taken aback before turning his head to see Keira Olsen standing by his side.
Side by side with him, the woman jointly bore the malice coming from the Horton Family, which ward Lewis’s heart.
That’s right.
He was no longer alone.
He gently patted Keira Olsen’s hand and asserted, “Does the first branch of the family wish to separate? I have no objections, after all, they have always lived in the Horton Family main house, occupying the residence that rightfully belongs to the Family Head. Now that my wife and I have returned, it is indeed ti for the main house to vacate the place.”
“You…!” Oliver Horton was dumbfounded.
The coveted position in the main house was always occupied by Oliver Horton and lissa Knight.
Even after Lewis Horton returned ho and beca the Family Head, this had not changed.
Old Mr. Nathan Horton directly used the excuse that Lewis’s wife hadn’t arrived, and he needed to stay with old Mrs. Horton, to prevent the first branch from vacating the house…
Lewis Horton had not expected that at this juncture, he’d bring this matter up.
lissa Knight imdiately cried out, “Lewis, how cruel-hearted you are! Did you harm Isla’s child just to separate the family? Are you afraid our first branch will flourish and overshadow you!”
Having said this, she turned to Keira Olsen, “Was it this illegitimate daughter’s idea? Lewis has never ntioned this before. You appeared in our family, and everything has beco a ss. How venomous can an illegitimate daughter be? Are you wishing for the Horton Family to be torn apart?”
Isla Olsen also started crying, “Keira, please don’t do this. We are all one family. I won’t pursue your responsibility. Please don’t instigate your uncle into dividing the family, okay?”
lissa Knight imdiately shouted, “Look, this is the deanor of a lady from a noble family. Lewis, your wife was born an illegitimate daughter; no wonder she is so petty! A good wife cos from virtue, it is her jealousy that has driven us to this point! Isla has let it go, but I won’t agree! The baby in her womb is my grandson! Dad, you might have to intervene in this matter!”
Old Mr. Nathan Horton spoke up directly, “Lewis Horton, since you refuse to relent, I will make the decision then. Bring people in to seize this poisonous woman and make her kneel and apologize to Isla Olsen!”
No sooner had he spoken than two bodyguards walked in from the doorway.
They went directly towards Keira Olsen, ready to grab her by the shoulders.
Keira Olsen was about to fight back when the man beside her suddenly grabbed her shoulders and stepped forward. He quickly subdued the two n and angrily shouted, “Tom Davis!”
Several more bodyguards imdiately sward in from the doorway, positioning themselves before Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton, blocking the Horton Family’s bodyguards.
These were Lewis Horton’s private bodyguards, only loyal to him.
Moreover, these bodyguards were clearly in a different league from those of the Horton Family, their presence deterring the regular Horton bodyguards from advancing.
Old Mr. Nathan Horton was infuriated, “You ungrateful creature, you have turned against us! After causing such trouble, are you actually attempting to control us with force? I am your father!”
Lewis Horton looked at him impassively, “You should be grateful that you are my father.”
His words, laden with a threatening undertone, made even Nathan Horton feel intimidated, “You, you would dare to commit patricide and fratricide?”
Lewis Horton didn’t want to speak.
Keira Olsen then spoke for him, “Old Mr. Horton, why the rush? The child that Isla Olsen just miscarried, we have already taken for testing. Once the results are in, won’t the truth be revealed?”
