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, | 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.
She suddenly realized that old Mrs. Horton ha respected her choices and would at most use h health as an
excuse to force her to live with Lew develop a relationship. She wouldn't have drugged
and Lewis!

Horton.
Was someone plotting against them to take those photographs?
Was it Isla or Melissa?
Was it aimed at her, or to defLewis?
Keira felt ridiculous for a moment and pulled away from Jake's arm. “Jake, tell everyone. Am | 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 tof 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.

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 botheranymore? I'm married now, and from today on, Isla will be
the only one in my heart! Please have sself-respect in the future!”
Keira frowned.
She looked at Jake and suddenly let out a mocking
laugh.
From that moment on, that spirited and handsyoung 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
[e]
you do such a thing?”
She lowered her head and began crying with restraint. “Ever since we were kids, you've always competed with
now. How could you take him fromtoo? 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
else’s mother...”
“When Mrs. Olsen cvisiting yesterday, | notic
she treated Keira better than Miss Isla. | was
wondering what was going on, so that’s the reason..
“Mrs. Olsen is confused too. Can't she tell who her re
daughter is?”
“Gosh, she and her mistress mother are unbelievable.

families, I've never seen a mistress so brazenly enter a hlike 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
[e]

stoop so low?”
Jake also said angrily, “Keira, we used to be classmates, and | showed you srespect. 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!”
