Chapter 152: Chapter 152
Keira Olsen was slightly startled.
The people around were also confused, discussing amongst themselves, “What’s this? What’s going on?”
Keira Olsen took the opportunity to observe the crowd.
Everyone looked bewildered, not understanding what it meant.
Among those present, only two people seemed calm, their eyes even betraying a hint of excitement.
It was Jake Horton and Isla Olsen!
What were they up to?
Just as Keira Olsen thought this, she saw the curtain fall, and then with a “snap,” the projector was turned on, projecting a photograph!
Keira Olsen’s pupils constricted.
The photo was exactly the one where she and Lewis Horton were caught on camera.
Both were dressed normally, but they had fallen onto the couch, heads very close together, from a distance looking as if they were kissing…
The photo was actually very innocent, with no explicit content, but their eyes seemed almost to be drawn together, and they were so close, it suddenly made Keira Olsen think of that night… She felt her cheeks flush, then she frowned.
Meanwhile, the room “buzzed” with sudden commotion!
Rebecca Allen too turned her head in disbelief, looking at Keira Olsen.
Erin Davis stepped out from among the classmates, laughing mockingly, “Keep denying it, just a moment ago you were saying how Keira Olsen and Mr. Horton have nothing between them. Why have you stopped talking now?”
Rebecca Allen stuttered, “…It must be photoshopped, right, there must be some misunderstanding. My benefactor can’t possibly be that kind of person!”
Although she didn’t know how to explain, she firmly believed in Keira Olsen without a doubt.
A touch of a smile tugged at Keira Olsen’s lips.
Erin Davis scoffed, “Photoshopped pictures always have traces, this screen is so big, the pictures spread so naturally, anyone who’s not blind can see it’s real. How can you lie with your eyes open?”
The surrounding people also chimed in:
“Right, and her own mother said so, now there are photos as evidence, it shows that the matter is true…”
“Some people really have no shame, thinking they can marry into a prominent family and become a rich wife just by currying favor with old Mrs. Horton who has dementia?”
“My goodness, isn’t this too sensational? Is Mr. Horton being fair to his wife doing this?”
“Haven’t you heard? Keira Olsen is married too, both of them are involved in extramarital affairs…”
“…”
Amidst the crowd’s accusations, Mrs. Olsen and Taylor Olsen also stepped forward.
Upon seeing the content on the screen, Mrs. Olsen’s pupils constricted, and she instinctively looked at Isla Olsen, urgently shouting, “Take it down now!”

It seemed like none of the Hortons had thought to minimize the impact, but it was she, who had arrived late, whose reminder made everyone snap back to reality.
A servant tried to take action but was stopped by Jake Horton, “There are quite a few reporters who’ve sneaked in. It’s too late to take it down now. I think the best thing to do is to let my uncle give everyone a reasonable explanation!”
At these words, the executives from Horton Group standing by Jake Horton began to speak up:
“Yes, yes, what’s the meaning of this, Mr. Horton? His image is linked to the company, how can this be handled so recklessly?!”
“Wasn’t it this young girl who started interning at the company a while ago? How has she now made her way into the family home?”
“It’s over, someone has already sent out the situation here, and the heat is rising right now!”
“Where is the PR department? Quickly get in touch, this matter concerns the entire Horton Group’s shares, it must not have too much impact! Otherwise, when the market opens tomorrow, the stock price will definitely plummet!”
“We can’t control the heat, I don’t know what’s happening, it’s like someone is pushing it behind the scenes, the heat has skyrocketed!”
“…”
Today is Old Mrs. Horton’s birthday celebration, a grand affair, which was not only attended by relatives and friends but also by regular business partners, and most of the executives from Horton Group were present as well.
At this moment, everyone had gathered together and was urgently discussing the situation.
While the executives of Horton Group were discussing, Poppy Hill had already walked up to Kiera Olsen, grabbed her hand, and looked at Madeleine Davis: “Mrs. Horton, you see? This is the evidence of my daughter sleeping with Mr. Horton! Now you can’t deny it anymore, can you? Today you have to give her an explanation!”
Madeleine Davis’s eyes reddened, and she frantically looked around.
Isla Olsen angrily questioned Kiera Olsen, “Kiera Olsen, this is Great Grandmother’s 86th birthday celebration, don’t go too far! Great Grandmother has always been so good to you, if you have any conscience at all, take your mom and leave immediately!”
Jake Horton also said, “Yes, with the situation blown up like this, you should just leave quickly! Don’t embarrass yourself here anymore! And don’t trouble Uncle anymore!”
But Poppy Hill stubbornly retorted, “What right do you have to drive us away?”
Her gaze then shifted to Mrs. Olsen and Taylor Olsen, a hint of malice flickering in her eyes as she was about to confront them: “Mrs. Olsen, please, come and help! Back in the day, you were kind-hearted enough to take in me and Kiera, now talk to Mrs. Horton, tell her to learn from you… After all, Kiera was practically raised by you, you can’t just watch her be wronged…”
Her words drew everyone’s attention to Mrs. Olsen.
Young masters from prominent families, who didn’t keep one or two mistresses outside?
Their legitimate wives definitely disdained them, and Mrs. Olsen’s behavior was certainly incomprehensible and even hostile to them.
If every household allowed mistresses and their children into their homes, then how could their interests be secured?
As a result, everyone joined in condemnation:
“It’s her, letting the mistress into the home, I’ve never seen such a foolish woman!”
“How weak can you be? I heard her husband was unwilling at first, but she softened her heart when she saw the mistress was pregnant with a child… What a fake saint!”
“Mrs. Olsen, what I hate most is people like you, pretending to be magnanimous by welcoming them into your home? What era is this? Pretending to be virtuous?”
“Haven’t you heard? Kiera Olsen was raised by her, to become what she is today, it shows she never properly educated Kiera Olsen from the start, importing antiquated flatter-to-destroy tactics into the modern era!”
“She’s really cunning, I heard she came from Clance, they’re the best at these kinds of intrigues, right? Disgusting!”
“…”
The crowd’s accusations turned Mrs. Olsen’s face white, her body tottering.
“Shirley!”
Taylor Olsen hurriedly steadied her.
Seeing this, Kiera Olsen anxiously stepped forward, wanting to check on her condition…
But she was abruptly pushed away by Taylor Olsen: “Stay away from Shirley! If it wasn’t for you, how could Shirley possibly end up being cursed like this?”
Kiera Olsen clenched her fists.
Just then, Lewis Horton finally came downstairs, dressed!”
