Chapter 201: Chapter 201

Keira Olsen coldly watched Isla Olsen leave, and after a moment’s thought, she followed.

She was never a saint and certainly didn’t worry for Isla Olsen, only wanting to see what her end would be.

Seeing that she was heading towards the emergency room, Lewis Horton immediately picked up his pace to follow. After taking a few steps, he looked back at Uncle Olsen and asked, “Do you want to come and take a look as well?”

Uncle Olsen’s gaze deepened as he glanced towards the direction of the ward.

After pondering for a moment, he finally said, “No, I’ll wait here for your return.”

He had just done something foolish, having troubled Mrs. Olsen’s real daughter on Isla Olsen’s account. He owed an apology.

Lewis Horton nodded, not paying him any more mind, and chased after Keira Olsen towards the ward.

Uncle Olsen glanced at Ellis Olsen.

Ellis immediately understood, making an “OK” gesture: “Got it, I’ll follow. Don’t worry, I won’t let Mrs. Olsen’s real daughter be bullied!”

…

When Keira Olsen arrived at the emergency room entrance, she saw several journalists hidden in a corner, waiting for the outcome and follow-up, as well as Poppy Hill and Holly Sims.

She was wondering why the Horton family members weren’t here when she heard the sound of a slap coming from the stairwell nearby!

There was a loud “smack.”

Keira Olsen’s footsteps faltered slightly, and she took a couple of steps back, peering through the glass window to see Oliver Horton, Melissa Knight, and Jake Horton there.

Nathan Horton must have sensed that something was amiss and quickly left to avoid embarrassment.

At that moment, Oliver Horton was beside himself with anger. One slap to Jake wasn’t enough; he raised his hand to strike again but was stopped by Melissa Knight: “Why hit him? The one who did wrong is Isla Olsen!”

Oliver Horton sneered, “I said it from the start, I disagreed with this marriage! That Isla Olsen had ill intentions, yet you insisted on Jake marrying her. Now look what’s happened.”

Melissa Knight cried out, “Yes, I disagreed at first, too, but when Mrs. Olsen mentioned knowing people in Clance, didn’t you agree too? Without your consent, how could Jake have gone to register his marriage with her?”

Oliver Horton stared at her: “If I had known she was the illegitimate daughter, I would have never agreed! In the end, isn’t it you and Jake who were poor at judging character?!”

Melissa Knight wiped her tears, “No one wanted this to happen. Isla Olsen is so devious, not just Jake and I didn’t see it, didn’t you fail to see it too? Why, when something goes wrong, do you only know to blame us?”

Oliver Horton scoffed, “If not you, who else should I blame? This incident has utterly shamed our first branch of the family! Initially, knowing Lewis Horton’s wife was Keira Olsen, I felt relieved, believing that our branch had finally outdone his! Thinking that Jake, this useless son, had finally done me a great service. He married Miss Olsen, and Lewis could only marry the Olsen Family’s illegitimate daughter, who could have expected it to turn out this way!”

He smacked his face, furiously saying, “You’ve completely disgraced me!”

Melissa Knight immediately grasped his hand, “Oliver, don’t talk like that. Jake will surely help you save face; don’t be angry…”

Oliver Horton pulled his hand away and looked directly at Jake, “With him? A failure remains a failure, he hasn’t shown any progress with age! He can’t even begin to compare to his sister!”

Leaving those words behind, Oliver Horton turned and went downstairs.

His unfeeling departure made Melissa Knight cover her face and cry, then she began to beat Jake, “You finally had a chance to make a name for yourself, to let your father sleep peacefully at home for once. Now look, he will surely not come back home! Jake, why does this always happen to you, why can you never satisfy him…”

Jake Horton’s eyes were bloodshot as he hung his head, like a child who had done something wrong.

He stared blankly at Melissa Knight.

Melissa Knight was crying as she said, “You must try hard, you have to surpass that illegitimate daughter! You can’t let your father look down on us!… No, that bitch seems to be coming back soon, no wonder your father keeps mentioning a ‘sister’! Jake, if she returns, what am I to do?!”

Melissa Knight was so anxious she was pacing in circles, causing an ocean of red in Jake’s eyes.

He took Melissa Knight’s hand: “Mom, don’t be afraid… Even if she comes back, she won’t be able to stir up any trouble. She’s just a girl, and sooner or later she’ll be married off. I’m Dad’s only son!”

Melissa Knight calmed down upon hearing this, “Right, right, as long as we prepare a generous dowry for that illegitimate daughter and marry her off, you will still be your father’s only son… I’m going home right now, I must secure my position, I absolutely cannot let that illegitimate daughter enter our house!”

As soon as she finished, she grabbed Jake Horton’s hand: “Let’s go, we’re going home!”

Jake Horton took a few steps with her but then stopped, his eyes conflicted as he looked towards the emergency room.

No matter what, Isla Olsen was still his wife…

“Jake? What are you doing? You can’t still be hung up on that trash Isla Olsen, can you? I’m telling you, the Horton family doesn’t need a daughter-in-law like her!”

Melissa Knight snapped angrily.

Jake Horton looked down: “Mom, I just want to wait until she finishes her surgery…”

Isla Olsen was in a critical condition, and he was her legal guardian.

Melissa Knight frowned in thought for a moment, then scoffed coldly: “Fine, then you stay here. I’ll have someone bring the divorce papers over. If she survives and comes out of the operating room, have her sign them. If she dies, we’ll be done with this once and for all!”

Leaving behind these ruthless words, Melissa Knight strode away.

Jake Horton stood there alone, fists clenched tightly, before he finally opened the door in the corridor. The moment he opened the door, he saw Keira Olsen.

He was slightly taken aback, his mouth opening as if he wanted to say something, yet the words failed to come out…

After hesitating for a long time, he slowly said, “I’m sorry, I…”

Before he could finish, Keira Olsen walked past him without a glance and approached the door of the operating room.

Jake Horton stared dumbly at her retreating figure, a wave of regret and frustration suddenly filling his chest.

He had given up on Keira Olsen because of her status as an illegitimate daughter… He even had a moment where he felt he was nearly catching up to her.

He was supposed to cherish her… but after learning of her illegitimate birth, he had impulsively committed so many mistakes!

Now, he felt a severe pain in his chest, so intense that he couldn’t help but bend over.

His lips curled into a forced smile, yet tears streamed down his face…

Lewis Horton and Ellis Olsen walked past him, neither giving Jake Horton a glance.

At that moment, Ellis Olsen was asking Lewis Horton, “Hey, is the father of your… wife Taylor Olsen? She doesn’t seem to look like him at all!”
