Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Whoever your husband is, that’s no excuse for you to be soone else’s mistress, a howrecker!”
Jake’s gaze was sharp as he stared at her. “Or is that what you are? Your mother was soone’s mistress. Have you inherited her genes? Do you think you’re destined to be a mistress and that you can’t be comfortable unless you’re wrecking soone’s ho?”
His provocative words sounded a bit insane.
Keira only found it ludicrous and couldn’t be bothered to argue. “Think what you like.”
That apparently further enraged Jake, and he angrily grabbed her arm. “Keira, I order you to leave my uncle at once!”
Keira scoffed. “Under what authority are you ordering ?”
Jake clenched his fists.
At this mont, Isla’s voice rang out. “Keira, Jake, what are you guys doing!!”
She strode over angrily.
Her gaze swept from Jake to Keira, then she showed a pitiful expression. “What are you two doing behind my back here, grabbing at each other?”
Her voice was shrill, quickly drawing the attention of the surrounding security guards and maids.
The Horton residence was vast, and many people worked there. Isla roughly estimated there to be over a hundred!
Seeing that everyone was looking over, she cried out even more miserably. “Keira, back in university, Jake chose ! Now that you’re with Mr. Horton. Why are you still pestering Jake?”
Keira was perplexed.
She narrowed her eyes as she looked around.
Sure enough, quite a few were pointing and murmuring/
“I heard she’s the illegitimate daughter of the Olsen family, always competing with Miss Olsen for things… even in university, she competed with Miss Olsen for Young Master Jake…”
“Exactly, her mother was a mistress, so she’s just not content with a plain life, right? She hasn’t seen much of the world. Isn’t that why she grabs whatever she sees?”
“Miss Olsen and Young Master Jake just got married, and she’s already after Young Master Jake. How shaless!”
“That’s not right. Didn’t she seduce Mr. Horton? Didn’t you see the photos from yesterday?”
“Ah, she seduced Mr. Horton. Does she try to stir up Young Master Jake’s jealousy? This woman is terrifying. Is she evil or sothing? She’s twisting both n around her finger…”
“How shaless and disgusting!”

Such comnts made Keira frown.
She suddenly realized that old Mrs. Horton had always respected her choices and would at most use her poor health as an excuse to force her to live with Lewis to develop a relationship. She wouldn’t have drugged her and Lewis!
So, the drug last night wasn’t administered by old Mrs. Horton.
Was soone plotting against them to take those photographs?
Was it Isla or lissa?
Was it aid at her, or to defa Lewis?
Keira felt ridiculous for a mont and pulled away from Jake’s arm. “Jake, tell everyone. Am I pestering you?”
Jake was being stared down by her captivating eyes, and his aura weakened as he subconsciously said, “No…”
Before he could finish, Isla stepped forward, took his arm, and glared at Keira. “If you’re not clinging to him, is it Jake who’s clinging to you? We just got married today, and we’re in the sweetest ti of our lives. I’m definitely going to tell old Mrs. Horton so she can see your true colors and kick you, the troublemaker, out of the Horton family!”
Kick her out of the Horton family…
Upon hearing this, Jake’s eyes suddenly turned cold and nacing.
If Keira were to be driven out, wouldn’t the link between her and his uncle be severed? In Oceanion, wouldn’t Keira have no choice but to obediently surrender, to be molded as he pleased?
Having understood this, Jake said coldly, “Keira, I’ve been polite to you out of respect for our past as classmates, but since you’ve seduced my uncle, why bother anymore? I’m married now, and from today on, Isla will be the only one in my heart! Please have so self-respect in the future!”
Keira frowned.
She looked at Jake and suddenly let out a mocking laugh.
From that mont on, that spirited and handso young man from university was truly gone…
Jake’s words confird the accusations of Keira’s seduction, and Isla imdiately bit her lip and began to accuse Keira. “Keira, you’re already married. I know your husband is no good and doesn’t have a proper job. He can’t support you, but Mom always taught us to be self-reliant since we were young! If you really can’t find a good job, we can help you, but how could you do such a thing?”
She lowered her head and began crying with restraint. “Ever since we were kids, you’ve always competed with for everything. You can act; you please Mom, and she favors you. I could endure all that, but Jake is all I have now. How could you take him from too? I’m already carrying Jake’s child. Do you want my child to be born into a family torn apart by your mother’s deeds?”
Isla knew exactly what the family cared about most, and with just a few words, she elicited everyone’s sympathy. People began pointing fingers and murmuring about Keira.
“Oh my God, how shaless! Even stealing soone else’s mother…”
“When Mrs. Olsen ca visiting yesterday, I noticed she treated Keira better than Miss Isla. I was wondering what was going on, so that’s the reason…”
“Mrs. Olsen is confused too. Can’t she tell who her real daughter is?”
“Gosh, she and her mistress mother are unbelievable. Although we’re used to seeing affairs in wealthy families, I’ve never seen a mistress so brazenly enter a ho like this before. Just hearing about it makes furious…”

As the group was in the midst of their condemnation, lissa and old Mrs. Horton received the news and hurried over.
Since old Mrs. Horton was closer, she arrived first and imdiately roared, “Don’t bully my granddaughter-in-law!!”
Her words left everyone stunned.
What did old Mrs. Horton just say?
Granddaughter-in-law?
Could Keira possibly be Lewis’s wife?!
While everyone was reflecting, Isla continued her tearful accusations. “Keira, you are truly heartless. You’ve even deceived old Mrs. Horton. She has dentia and can’t recognize people, so you lied to her, saying you’re her granddaughter-in-law. That’s how you got into the Horton household and climbed into my uncle’s bed! How can you be so unashad to stoop so low?”
Jake also said angrily, “Keira, we used to be classmates, and I showed you so respect. Now, make things clear to my grandmother, and we won’t pursue this matter any further!”
The two spoke as if they were righteous and just.
Old Mrs. Horton imdiately shielded Keira. “Jake, your aunt is right there. How can you speak to her like that?!”
Jake took a step forward. “Great-grandmother, you’ve been deceived by her! She can’t possibly be my aunt!”
“She is!” Old Mrs. Horton looked directly at Fiona.. “Hurry up and call that brat back! Tell him his wife is being bullied!”
