After the recording was revealed, all the evidence was complete.
Holly Sims sneered, “You can’t possibly say that I forged the recording too, can you? I don’t have that ability!”
This time, Isla Olsen could no longer feign innocence.
And when Jake Horton heard that recording, he was completely stunned.
He looked at Isla in disbelief, “I can’t believe you are so scheming!”
Isla tried to explain, but as she opened her mouth, she found herself at a loss for words.
Even Melissa Knight immediately furrowed her brows, shocked that Kiera Olsen had such substantial evidence prepared. There was now no way to deny it in time!
She glared angrily at Isla and looked worriedly at Oliver Horton, only to see him slightly frown, clearly very dissatisfied with how the situation was unfolding.
Heart racing, Melissa Knight angrily reached out and slapped Isla hard: “You wretch!”
Isla held her face, her eyes fierce as she stared at Kiera Olsen: “Kiera Olsen, are you satisfied with how far I’ve been pushed?!”
She growled furiously, “Is this not what you wanted, to pull this high and mighty Miss Olsen down from her pedestal? Now that I’ve fallen into the mire, are you happy?!”
She covered her face and began to cry, “You illegitimate bitch! My descent to this point today is all your fault! It’s because you constantly needed to show off your presence at home, it’s because you made me feel that I had to marry Jake to gain our parents’ attention! It’s all because of you!!”
She knew that now the only option she had was to shift all the blame to Kiera Olsen to preserve herself!
She purposely cried out loud: “Jake, it was this illegitimate girl who forced me into this! She’s so good at acting, she’s charmed dad and mom to only see her, not me… Jake, I was wrong, but I really had no choice, marrying you was the only way to surpass her…”
Her words struck a sore spot for Jake Horton.
The illegitimate daughter from the first branch of the family was also superior in every way, causing Jake Horton and Melissa Knight to feel a profound sense of crisis.
What Jake Horton and Melissa Knight hated most was an “illegitimate daughter,” especially a competent “illegitimate daughter!”

Jake Horton understood this feeling all too well.
Even more than when he was angry about Isla’s deception, he grabbed Isla’s shoulders and turned to Kiera Olsen, shouting, “Kiera Olsen, what grievance or enmity do we have with you that you target Isla like this?!”
Kiera Olsen: ?!
She found it laughable.
If Isla hadn’t deliberately provoked her, would she have had to prove her innocence by declaring the child was not Jake’s?
Seeing this, Poppy Hill immediately pounced on Kiera Olsen, hitting and cursing her: “You ungrateful creature, you harassed Isla to this extent, it’s your presence that has made Isla what she is now! Don’t you realize your mistake yet? Do you have to compete with Isla and have the Horton family abandon her before you are satisfied? How could I have given birth to a daughter like you, today I will kill you here!”
Kiera Olsen pushed the people off again.
Poppy Hill took a step back and then sat down hard on the ground: “I can’t live like this anymore, dear Lord, please open your eyes and see! Look at this cursed child, she even hit her own mother!”
Her crying attracted the reporters.
Poppy Hill pointed at Kiera Olsen and yelled: “I gave birth to you, raised you, and this is how you repay me? By even hitting me, I know now, you resent that I’m a mistress, that I come from a bad background, right? That’s why you have never respected me, never listened to me, you ungrateful wretch! If you really want to break ties with me, then give back this life to me!”
Jake Horton also scolded: “Kiera Olsen, you illegitimate daughter, how dare you!”
The surrounding reporters started to speak up:
“Mrs. Horton, no matter what, how could you hit your own mother?”
“Right, even if she’s a mistress, she gave birth to you, raised you… how could you strike her?”
“Throughout history, in Crera, filial piety has always been of utmost importance, besides, your mom hasn’t done something too outrageous, she just scolded you a bit, trying not to let you continue to persecute Miss Olsen and wanting you to follow the right path, how could you treat her like this?”
“Even animals know the deep bond between mother and child, yet you, being human, how can you treat her like this?”
“An illegitimate daughter is an illegitimate daughter, lacking manners! There’s truly something wrong with her character!!”
“…”
Everyone turned their accusations towards Kiera Olsen, each questioning and denouncing her.
Isla Olsen watched from the side, slowly curling her lips into a smile.
The scene became noisy, with voices of accusation reaching the staircase.
In the staircase, a fierce struggle was also occurring.
Uncle Olsen led his bodyguards up, while Lewis Horton’s bodyguards stood in opposition.
Uncle Olsen’s gaze coldly met Lewis’s, “Step aside.”
“I won’t.”
Uncle Olsen’s eyes tinged with a hint of madness, veins of red blood threading through his eyes, his whole demeanor began to alter.
He seemed to be shifting from calm to madness.
His aura suddenly changed, and he took a step forward, “I’ll ask one last time, will you step aside?”
Lewis Horton straightened his back, his posture upright, standing like a sharp and prominent javelin, “I won’t.”
A sinister curve suddenly hooked Uncle Olsen’s lips, and then he swiftly threw a punch!
Lewis seemed prepared, and the moment Uncle Olsen moved, he quickly countered with a blow.
“Bang!”
Their fists met in mid-air, and at the moment of impact, it seemed even the air shook.
Both men had used all their strength in that punch, and after it, both were forced to take two steps back.
Uncle Olsen stared at him with an extremely cold look.
Lewis Horton frowned and said, “Uncle, my wife is not at fault, you won’t pass today.”
“Are you sure?”
As soon as Uncle Olsen had spoken, his hand moved to his waist, and suddenly, he held a silver pistol!
“Boss, be careful!”
Lewis Horton’s bodyguard was about to step forward, but Lewis raised his hand to block him, causing the bodyguard to immediately stand alert around him, eyeing the pistol.
Since they had come to Crera with the boss, these bodyguards hadn’t brought any guns… sticking strictly to the law.
Lewis hadn’t carried one either.
Uncle Olsen fixed his gaze on him, “My gun doesn’t have eyes, Lewis Horton, you’re one of the juniors I somewhat respect. I’ll give you one last chance, will you step aside?”
Lewis Horton stepped forward, “I won’t.”
Uncle Olsen sneered, “Good.”
Just as he was about to fire, a voice full of justice suddenly echoed through the corridor, “Enough! Kiera Olsen is not some illegitimate daughter, she is indeed Mrs. Olsen’s biological daughter!!”
