Chapter 201: Chapter 201 Chapter 201: Chapter 201 Keira Olsen coldly watched Isla Olsen leave, and after a mont’s thought, she followed.
She was never a saint and certainly didn’t worry for Isla Olsen, only wanting to see what her end would be.
Seeing that she was heading towards the ergency room, Lewis Horton imdiately picked up his pace to follow. After taking a few steps, he looked back at Uncle Olsen and asked, “Do you want to co and take a look as well?”
Uncle Olsen’s gaze deepened as he glanced towards the direction of the ward.
After pondering for a mont, he finally said, “No, I’ll wait here for your return.”
He had just done sothing foolish, having troubled Mrs. Olsen’s real daughter on Isla Olsen’s account. He owed an apology.
Lewis Horton nodded, not paying him any more mind, and chased after Keira Olsen towards the ward.
Uncle Olsen glanced at Ellis Olsen.
Ellis imdiately understood, making an “OK” gesture: “Got it, I’ll follow. Don’t worry, I won’t let Mrs. Olsen’s real daughter be bullied!”
…
When Keira Olsen arrived at the ergency room entrance, she saw several journalists hidden in a corner, waiting for the outco and follow-up, as well as Poppy Hill and Holly Sims.
She was wondering why the Horton family mbers weren’t here when she heard the sound of a slap coming from the stairwell nearby!
There was a loud “smack.”
Keira Olsen’s footsteps faltered slightly, and she took a couple of steps back, peering through the glass window to see Oliver Horton, lissa Knight, and Jake Horton there.
Nathan Horton must have sensed that sothing was amiss and quickly left to avoid embarrassnt.
At that mont, Oliver Horton was beside himself with anger. One slap to Jake wasn’t enough; he raised his hand to strike again but was stopped by lissa Knight: “Why hit him? The one who did wrong is Isla Olsen!”
Oliver Horton sneered, “I said it from the start, I disagreed with this marriage! That Isla Olsen had ill intentions, yet you insisted on Jake marrying her. Now look what’s happened.”
lissa Knight cried out, “Yes, I disagreed at first, too, but when Mrs. Olsen ntioned knowing people in Clance, didn’t you agree too? Without your consent, how could Jake have gone to register his marriage with her?”
Oliver Horton stared at her: “If I had known she was the illegitimate daughter, I would have never agreed! In the end, isn’t it you and Jake who were poor at judging character?!”
lissa Knight wiped her tears, “No one wanted this to happen. Isla Olsen is so devious, not just Jake and I didn’t see it, didn’t you fail to see it too? Why, when sothing goes wrong, do you only know to bla us?”
Oliver Horton scoffed, “If not you, who else should I bla? This incident has utterly shad our first branch of the family! Initially, knowing Lewis Horton’s wife was Keira Olsen, I felt relieved, believing that our branch had finally outdone his! Thinking that Jake, this useless son, had finally done a great service. He married Miss Olsen, and Lewis could only marry the Olsen Family’s illegitimate daughter, who could have expected it to turn out this way!”
He smacked his face, furiously saying, “You’ve completely disgraced !”
lissa Knight imdiately grasped his hand, “Oliver, don’t talk like that. Jake will surely help you save face; don’t be angry…”
Oliver Horton pulled his hand away and looked directly at Jake, “With him? A failure remains a failure, he hasn’t shown any progress with age! He can’t even begin to compare to his sister!”
Leaving those words behind, Oliver Horton turned and went downstairs.
His unfeeling departure made lissa Knight cover her face and cry, then she began to beat Jake, “You finally had a chance to make a na for yourself, to let your father sleep peacefully at ho for once. Now look, he will surely not co back ho! Jake, why does this always happen to you, why can you never satisfy him…”
Jake Horton’s eyes were bloodshot as he hung his head, like a child who had done sothing wrong.
He stared blankly at lissa Knight.
lissa Knight was crying as she said, “You must try hard, you have to surpass that illegitimate daughter! You can’t let your father look down on us!… No, that bitch seems to be coming back soon, no wonder your father keeps ntioning a ‘sister’! Jake, if she returns, what am I to do?!”
lissa Knight was so anxious she was pacing in circles, causing an ocean of red in Jake’s eyes.
He took lissa Knight’s hand: “Mom, don’t be afraid… Even if she cos back, she won’t be able to stir up any trouble. She’s just a girl, and sooner or later she’ll be married off. I’m Dad’s only son!”
lissa Knight cald down upon hearing this, “Right, right, as long as we prepare a generous dowry for that illegitimate daughter and marry her off, you will still be your father’s only son… I’m going ho right now, I must secure my position, I absolutely cannot let that illegitimate daughter enter our house!”
As soon as she finished, she grabbed Jake Horton’s hand: “Let’s go, we’re going ho!”
Jake Horton took a few steps with her but then stopped, his eyes conflicted as he looked towards the ergency room.
No matter what, Isla Olsen was still his wife…
“Jake? What are you doing? You can’t still be hung up on that trash Isla Olsen, can you? I’m telling you, the Horton family doesn’t need a daughter-in-law like her!”
lissa Knight snapped angrily.
Jake Horton looked down: “Mom, I just want to wait until she finishes her surgery…”
Isla Olsen was in a critical condition, and he was her legal guardian.
lissa Knight frowned in thought for a mont, then scoffed coldly: “Fine, then you stay here. I’ll have soone bring the divorce papers over. If she survives and cos out of the operating room, have her sign them. If she dies, we’ll be done with this once and for all!”
Leaving behind these ruthless words, lissa Knight strode away.
Jake Horton stood there alone, fists clenched tightly, before he finally opened the door in the corridor. The mont he opened the door, he saw Keira Olsen.
He was slightly taken aback, his mouth opening as if he wanted to say sothing, yet the words failed to co out…
After hesitating for a long ti, he slowly said, “I’m sorry, I…”
Before he could finish, Keira Olsen walked past him without a glance and approached the door of the operating room.
Jake Horton stared dumbly at her retreating figure, a wave of regret and frustration suddenly filling his chest.
He had given up on Keira Olsen because of her status as an illegitimate daughter… He even had a mont where he felt he was nearly catching up to her.
He was supposed to cherish her… but after learning of her illegitimate birth, he had impulsively committed so many mistakes!
Now, he felt a severe pain in his chest, so intense that he couldn’t help but bend over.
His lips curled into a forced smile, yet tears stread down his face…
Lewis Horton and Ellis Olsen walked past him, neither giving Jake Horton a glance.
At that mont, Ellis Olsen was asking Lewis Horton, “Hey, is the father of your… wife Taylor Olsen? She doesn’t seem to look like him at all!”
