196 Confrontation
In the hospital.
Keira grabbed Isla’s hand.
Isla turned to look at her, “What’s wrong?”
Keira lowered her head, her expression obscured, but her helplessness and misery were palpable.
It was as if her emotional defenses had crumbled.
Yet the words she uttered next stunned Isla. “I won’t
do as you say.”
Isla frowned.
Poppy, consumed by anger, hit Keira hard on the back several times. “You ungrateful creature, what are you saying? How dare you say no to Miss Isla?! I’ll beat
to death!”
you
After enduring a few blows, Keira suddenly pushed her away with force.
Poppy staggered several steps backward and fell to the ground, then immediately jumped up. “Good heavens, you dare to lay a hand on me? I’m your mother!!”

Her shrill voice finally got a reaction from Taylor.
He frowned and looked toward them, promptly stood up, then walked over to them. He glanced at Keira,
then at Isla, and finally at Poppy. “What are you arguing about?!”
Just as Poppy was about to speak, Taylor suddenly
raised his arm!
“Slap!”
He didn’t slap Poppy but instead struck Keira’s face
hard!
Keira hadn’t expected him to hit her, given how weak he appeared.
She held her cheek in shock, feeling the burning pain, and looked incredulously at Taylor.
Taylor’s gaze was grim as he glared at her. “It’s you again, it’s always because of you that our family is disrupted. Keira, why don’t you just die? Why are you here bothering Shirley!”
Keira let her hand covering her face slowly drop, and clenched her fist tightly. “You heard everything just now, right? It was Isla who carried someone else’s

child and framed me for causing her miscarriage. I’m just trying to prove my innocence!”
“So what?!” Taylor rebuked vehemently. “She’s Shirley’s daughter, my daughter, but you’re not! Even if Isla did something wrong, you have to take the blame for her!”
Taking the opportunity, Poppy shouted, “Exactly, you owe that to the Olsens. If you want to sever ties with the Olsens and have nothing to do with us ever again, then strip off this flesh, remove your tendons and
bones, then return your flesh and blood to us!”
After that, she sneered. “I’m sure you can resurrect, can’t you? Keira, let me tell you, your life was given by me, so it can only be mine! Unless you die, you can never escape my curse for the rest of your life! I’ll follow you like maggots on bones. When I get old, you’ll have to provide for me, or else I’ll make trouble. I’ll sue you! In Crera, filial piety comes first. I don’t believe you can do anything to me!!”
She placed her hands on her hips, her demeanor
arrogant.
But Keira wasn’t having any of it. “We’ll deal with the future later. Today, I must restore my own innocence!”

She looked directly at the three people in front of her.
Word by word, with resounding force, she said, “I,
Keira, will not bear any debts that are not mine, nor will I bear any blame that is not mine!!”
She stepped forward, her gaze fixed on Poppy. At that moment, she felt a true strength rising within her. “I couldn’t choose my birthright. I owe you a life, if you can, take this life!”
Poppy was intimidated by her forcefulness and involuntarily took a step back.
Keira then looked at Taylor. “I’m not your daughter; the money that the Olsen family spent on me over the years has been repaid long ago. I owe the Olsens nothing! All these lies were concocted by Poppy, and they have nothing to do with me!”
After leaving those words, she turned and walked out.
Isla panicked and immediately shouted, “Keira, you are not allowed to tell!”
Taylor also frowned.
Isla knew she couldn’t stop Keira and could only turn to Poppy with tears in her eyes. “Keira, if you reveal

the truth, the Horton family will surely divorce me!
Then I might as well be dead!”
That sentence brought Poppy to her senses.
She suddenly screamed, “Keira! Stop right there!”
Keira didn’t pause in her steps at all.
But as she reached for the doorknob, a cry from Isla came from behind her. “Aunt Hill, what are you doing?!”
Keira frowned and looked back, only to see a fruit knife grasped in Poppy’s hand. She pressed against her own neck, her eyes almost crazed as she looked at Keira. “If you dare to go out and tell them the truth, die right here! Keira, do you really want to drive your own mother to death?!”
Keira’s steps faltered slightly.
She looked at Poppy with only scorn in her eyes.
Was this her mother?
As a child, she was completely controlled by her, but once she grew up and Poppy could no longer control her, she started to threaten her with her own life, seriously?

Keira let out a mocking laugh. She looked at Poppy and said softly, “Then go ahead and die.”
Those few words made Poppy’s pupils contract.
Then, without any hesitation, Keira opened the door
and walked out.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw a group of people standing outside.
Jake, Melissa, as well as Oliver and Nathan, were all there.
In front of them stood several reporters.
Melissa was there, tearfully complaining, “We asked you to come to show you just how heartless Lewis, the CEO of Horton Group, is! His wife killed my grandson, and now she doesn’t even show a hint of guilt, but is instead very arrogant… We of the first branch of the family can’t go on like this! My friends from the press, you are the most just in the world, please help us!”
Her pitiful act made the reporters look solemn.
Oliver and Nathan exchanged glances, excitement flashing in their eyes.
In this era of the internet, public opinion was

definitely the biggest weapon!
If these reporters wrote about the domineering and tyrannical behavior of Lewis, he would be forced to step down from the leadership of the Horton Group! By then, the first branch could use this opportunity to rise to the top!
Oliver looked at Jake with a warmer gaze.
He hadn’t expected his son’s wife to cause such a big problem for Lewis!
This time, Lewis was definitely caught in a bind!
The reporters, upon hearing this, picked up their microphones and were slightly taken aback when they saw Keira emerge.
Melissa immediately pointed at Keira and shouted, “That’s her, Lewis’s wife. She’s domineering and tyrannical at home. Knowing full well that my daughter-in-law was pregnant, she still pushed her forcefully, causing a miscarriage… She did it on purpose!”
With that, the reporters immediately rushed up to Keira.

“Mrs. Horton, is this true?”
“Why did you harm your nephew’s wife and child?”
“Were these actions instructed by Mr. Lewis Horton?”
…
Meanwhile, in the parking lot downstairs, a police car suddenly stopped, and Holly quickly got out of the car and ran upstairs at full speed!
