Chapter 192: Chapter 192
Isla’s eyes betrayed a hint of panic, and her gaze was locked onto that report.
Tom Davis then walked in and handed the report to Kiera Olsen.
Kiera Olsen opened it and glanced at it, and as expected, it didn’t match.
She looked at Jake Horton with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
Jake Horton sneered, “The report is out, good, let’s bring it out so everyone can see clearly what’s really going on!”
Kiera Olsen immediately raised the report in her hand to hand it over to Jake Horton when suddenly a hand stretched out and snatched the report away.
Poppy Hill opened it, glanced at the report, and her pupils shrank in disbelief as she looked toward Isla.
Isla’s gaze flickered, and she felt a bit guilty, “Aunt Hill, why are you looking at me? Hurry up and show us the report… It can prove my innocence!”
Jake Horton also said directly, “Yes, bring it over to prove Isla’s innocence, so Uncle and Kiera Olsen won’t slander her again!”
But Poppy Hill swallowed hard, and at the moment Jake Horton came over to get the report, she suddenly balled it up and stuffed it into her mouth.
Crowd: ?
Jake Horton was baffled, “What are you doing?”
Isla also quickly asked, “Aunt Hill, what are you doing? Spit out the report…”
But the more they said that, the more determined Poppy Hill became, swallowing hard, “This report is fake, I can’t show it to you! Otherwise, it’ll leave evidence behind, and what if you sue Kiera Olsen?”
Jake Horton, furious and anxious, exclaimed, “You…!”
Isla’s lips curled up slightly.
She had called Poppy Hill over just for this moment.
Yet before her pleased expression could last long on her face, she heard Kiera Olsen’s cool and clear voice, “It’s just a report, right? If it’s eaten, just print another. Mr. Davis…”
Tom Davis smiled, “Alright, I’m going to print another one right now…”
After saying that, he left the room.
Poppy Hill glared fiercely at Kiera Olsen, then suddenly turned to Jake Horton, “young Mr. Horton, could you leave for a moment? I’ll try to persuade Kiera Olsen to confess…”
Jake Horton sneered, “She caused the death of my child, why should I give her that chance?!”
Poppy Hill was somewhat at a loss for words.
Isla then spoke up, “Jake, for old times’ sake, since we were classmates. I’m willing to give Kiera Olsen a chance…”
Classmates for four years…
Jake Horton pursed his lips, recalling those four years when he pursued Kiera Olsen, his intentions then were naive and pure.
He looked at Kiera Olsen again, suddenly feeling a bit soft-hearted, “Fine, Kiera Olsen, I’ll give you this chance. If you admit your wrong and accept the punishment, that’s fine. Otherwise, I definitely won’t let you off!”
With those words, he turned to leave.
Isla then spoke up, “I’ll stay as well and try to persuade her…”
“Alright.”
After Isla saw Jake Horton off, she closed the hospital room door, isolating the bodyguards and everyone’s prying eyes outside, then she viciously turned back around, dropping all pretense, “Kiera Olsen, you are not to take out that report!”
Seeing her change of face, Kiera Olsen scoffed, “Why not?”
“You just can’t! Where did you get this ‘why’ from?” Isla stared at her, “If you bring it out, it will ruin me!”
Kiera Olsen looked at her, “It’s you who are hoisting the rock to smash your own foot, what does that have to do with me? If you hadn’t slandered me, I wouldn’t have bothered with you…”
“You…!”
Kiera’s face grew cold. “Isla, don’t mistake my repeated concessions for weaknes! This time, you have only yourself to blame!”
Isla clenched her fists tightly.
Aunt Hill exclaimed in shock, “Isla, why isn’t the child young Mr. Horton’s? How could it not be? Whose is it?”
Isla frowned in disgust. “It doesn’t matter whose it is. We absolutely cannot let the Hortons know about this, or I’m finished!”
Once she divorced Jake Horton, especially under these circumstances, even with the protection of the Clance Olsen Family, she wouldn’t be able to find a good household to marry into!
Aunt Hill immediately nodded in agreement. “Right, right, they must not know about it!”
After her words, she turned directly to Kiera. “Ungrateful creature, you’d better not say a word! Do you hear me?! Keep your mouth shut tight, and you go persuade Lewis Horton to keep quiet too! If Isla is repudiated by the Hortons because of this, you and I are not done!”
Kiera responded indifferently. “As you wish.”
“You…!”

Aunt Hill pointed at her, seething with anger, but looking up at Kiera, who was taller than her, and remembering her capabilities, she realized she was now utterly powerless against her.
A fierce look crossed Aunt Hill’s eyes.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, Isla knelt directly in front of Kiera.
Aunt Hill was startled, then rushed over, grasping her arm. “Isla, you are the mistress, how can you kneel to her? Get up…”
Isla, however, pushed Aunt Hill away. Her face lost the craziness, leaving only calmness. “Kiera, I’m begging you, spare me this once.”
Kiera looked down upon her from above.
A fleeting look crossed her eyes.
All her life, she had been Isla’s follower. As a child, Isla would often demand Kiera kneel…
She had knelt to put shoes on Isla…
Knelt for Isla to step on her to mount a horse…
Knelt to mop the floors at the Olsen’s…
Knelt in front of Isla to listen to her scoldings…
It wasn’t until junior high that she regained her dignity and vowed never to kneel to anyone again.
But she had never imagined that one day, Isla would kneel before her?!
Yet, she felt no thrill of revenge, only realizing how naive and ridiculous her younger self had been!
Kiera looked at her and slowly asked, “I said it, you were the one who framed me first, that report was the only evidence I had to prove my innocence.”
Isla immediately shouted, “It’s okay, I’ll say that I won’t pursue you, I will help prove it, saying it was not intentional… Also, about the Clance Olsen Family, I will also plead for you. Kiera, the Clance Olsen Family holds even greater influence than the Horton family. Do you think Lewis Horton coming downstairs could truly intimidate Uncle Olsen? If Uncle Olsen gets angry, Lewis Horton won’t be able to protect you! But I can…”
Isla first tried to convince her, but seeing her unmoved, began to make threats. “Of course, if I truly get repudiated by the Hortons, I will definitely ask Uncle Olsen to ruin you! But as long as you are willing to step back and admit your mistake, I will get everyone to forgive you, so all ends well… What do you say?”
Kiera’s eyes dropped. “There’s something I don’t understand.”
“What?”
“Why you want to get rid of the child.”
After saying this, Kiera slipped her hand into her pocket, and turned on the recorder.
No one noticed her subtle movement, especially since her phone was in her other hand. Hearing her words, a ruthless look flashed in Isla’s eyes, and she said bluntly without any hesitation:
“Because this child is a stumbling block on my path to happiness! As long as it exists, it’s a threat to me! What if it’s born and doesn’t look like Jake? Keeping it would cause endless trouble. It’s just a child, I’m still young, I can have many more in the future…”
Isla, trying to appear honest and to convince Kiera, spoke very directly, revealing her inner thoughts openly for the first time in front of others. “I must marry into the Horton family, to live a superior life, Kiera, you don’t understand, it’s my obsession! For this, I can sacrifice everything!!”
