121 Granddaughter-in-Law

“Whoever your husband is, that’s no excuse for you to be someone else’s mistress, a homewrecker!”

Jake’s gaze was sharp as he stared at her. “Or is that what you are? Your mother was someone’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 someone’s home?”

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 me?”

Jake clenched his fists.

At this moment, 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 me! 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…”

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

shameless!”

“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 something? She’s twisting both men around her finger…”

“How shameless and disgusting!”

Such comments made Keira frown.

Horton.

Was someone plotting against them to take those photographs?

Was it Isla or Melissa?

Was it aimed at her, or to defame Lewis?

Keira felt ridiculous for a moment 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 md today, and we’re in the sweetest time of our liv definitely going to tell old Mrs. Horton so she c

your true colors and kick you, the troublemaker, the Horton family!”

Kick her out of the Horton family…

Upon hearing this, Jake’s eyes suddenly turned cold and menacing.

O

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 me anymore? I’m married now, and from today on, Isla will be the only one in my heart! Please have some self-respect in the future!”

Keira frowned.

She looked at Jake and suddenly let out a mocking

laugh.

From that moment on, that spirited and hands me young man from university was truly gone…

Jake’s words confirmed the accusations of Kein seduction, and Isla immediately bit her lip and b to accuse Keira. “Keira, you’re already married. Ik your husband is no good and doesn’t have a proper job. He can’t support you, but Mom always taught us 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 me 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 me 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 shameless! Even stealing someone

“When Mrs. Olsen came visiting yesterday, I notic

“Mrs. Olsen is confused too. Can’t she tell who her re

“Gosh, she and her mistress mother are unbelievable.

families, I’ve never seen a mistress so brazenly enter a home like this before. Just hearing about it makes me

furious…”

As the group was in the midst of their condemnation, Melissa and old Mrs. Horton received the news and hurried over.

Since old Mrs. Horton was closer, she arrived first and immediately 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 dementia 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 unashamed to

stoop so low?”

Jake also said angrily, “Keira, we used to be classmates, and I showed you some 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 immediately 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!”

Fiona immediately nodded, took out her mobile phone, and intended to go aside to make a call.

But a large hand reached over and snatched her phone

away.

Jake sneered, “Fiona, having this woman here is nothing but a calamity. She has been deceiving Great-grandma all along. We’re also considering the Horton family’s well-being. You don’t need to make that call. After we send this person away, when my Uncle comes back tonight, I’ll explain everything to him.”

Fiona frowned. “Mr. Jake, we should still wait for Mr. Lewis to come back and decide on this matter! After all, Miss Olsen is a guest of him and old Mrs. Horton!”

“A guest? I see her as nothing but a shameless woman clinging to my uncle!”

Jake flatly said, “The photos of her and my uncle have already spread. This is very bad for the company’s image. What I’m doing is for my uncle’s good.”

Old Mrs. Horton was so angry that her chest heaved. “Jake! You disobedient boy! I’ve said it. She’s your uncle’s wife; you can’t treat her like this!”

Jake cast his eyes down and said nothing.

Melissa had already hurried over, exchanged a glance with Isla, and the two quickly went to Old Mrs. Horton’s side, each taking an arm of her.

Isla said gently, “Great-grandma, it’s cold here. Let’s get you back to your room first, so you don’t fall ill.”

Melissa also heaved a sigh. “Grandma, you are really confused. Lewis’s wife is studying abroad; she hasn’t returned. You mistook this Miss Olsen for someone

else!”

“I didn’t mistake her for anyone!”

Old Mrs. Horton struggled, refusing to leave.
