Chapter 40 - 40
Chapter 40: Chapter 40
Keira Olsen suddenly appeared, startling Isla Olsen!
She immediately looked at Finley Hill, her eyes revealing panic.
Finley Hill gave a slight smile, just about to speak…
Isla Olsen took the initiative and scolded, “Keira Olsen, why are you eavesdropping on our conversation?”
Keira Olsen’s gaze swept over her and Finley Hill, “Don’t change the subject here.”
She looked at Finley Hill, “What truth?”
Her intuition told her that this truth was related to her.
She added, “I can give you money.”
Finley Hill’s eyes lit up, “How much can you give?”
Keira Olsen looked at Isla Olsen, who was tightly clutching her sleeves, her whole demeanor tense and chaotic.
She indifferently said, “Name your price, I can ask the Horton family for it.”
Finley Hill’s shifty eyes finally settled, and he smiled at Isla Olsen, “I think you’re still not as rich as Isla Olsen, right?”
Isla immediately sighed in relief and said to Finley Hill, “I will figure out a way to give you the money you want, you can go now.”

Finley Hill chuckled, “Alright then, I’ll leave first.”
As he passed by Keira Olsen, he paused, “Niece, this secret will always be valid for you, as long as you pay the right price, I will definitely sell it to you!”
With those words, he left cheerfully.
Keira Olsen watched his back, squinting her eyes.
She took out her phone and sent a WhatsApp message to Samuel Morgan, “Check on Finley Hill.”
Samuel Morgan quickly replied, “Okay.”
Then he sent another message, “Boss, there’s an industry gathering tomorrow, the invitation has been sent to your email, are you going?”
Keira Olsen’s response was brief, “Not going.”
After sending the message and looking up, she saw Isla Olsen walking past her, head bowed.
Keira Olsen said indifferently, “If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it yourself. Did you think I wouldn’t find out about you and Finley Hill?”
Isla Olsen’s body stiffened, and she looked up, smiling, “Kiera, what are you talking about? I don’t understand…”
“No wonder, being Miss Olsen and yet so strapped for cash, you’re paying him every month. What big leverage does he have on you?”
Isla immediately retorted, “What nonsense are you talking about? What leverage could he possibly have on me!”
A fierce look crossed her eyes, “Keira Olsen, I would advise you to concern yourself with your own problems instead of wasting time on me!”
Keira Olsen’s expression cooled.
Seeing Isla about to leave, she asked, “Where is Poppy Hill?”
Upon hearing this, Isla exploded, “She’s your mother, why do you ask me? How would I know?!”
Since learning the truth from Finley Hill, Isla had been keeping it from Poppy Hill, pretending she didn’t know…
That woman was too foolish! She feared that by recognizing Poppy Hill, it would cause her to slip up…
Therefore, Poppy Hill was totally unaware that she already knew the truth about her identity.
Leaving those words behind, Isla walked away.
Keira Olsen followed her, and they both arrived in front of Mrs. Olsen’s hospital room.
Through the glass window in the door, it was clear that Poppy Hill was not in the room.
She didn’t enter to disturb Mrs. Olsen, and left the building.
She called Poppy Hill, “Where are you?”
Poppy Hill’s frantic voice came through, “Keira Olsen, what are you up to?”
“I want you to come back and apologize to Mr. Horton.”
Poppy Hill’s voice became sharp immediately, “I won’t! Mr. Horton won’t let me off the hook! You apologize for me, you’re my daughter, let the daughter pay for the mother’s debts!”
Keira Olsen scoffed, “If that’s the case, then don’t blame me for calling the police.”
Poppy Hill shouted angrily, “Why did you call the police? I’m your mother! It’s only natural for a mother to hit her child, isn’t it!”
Keira Olsen responded indifferently, “But this time, you hurt Mr. Horton, and people must pay for their mistakes.”
“You ungrateful daughter! Had I known you would treat me this way, I should have drowned you when you were born! Thrown you into a cesspit! Sold you to a brothel! Little slut! …”
Keira Olsen didn’t listen to her anymore and hung up the phone.
Previously, any grievance between the two would have been deemed a family dispute when reported to the authorities.
But this time was different.
Poppy Hill accidentally injured Lewis Horton, and was ultimately sentenced to 48 hours in custody, plus a fine and medical fees.
However, that amount of money meant nothing to the Horton Family.
After handling these matters, Keira Olsen returned to the old lady’s hospital room.
Lewis Horton was not in the room.
The old lady explained, “He said there was an important meeting to attend, so he’s gone down to the RV.”
Keira Olsen nodded, she was silent for a moment and then spoke, “Grandma, I’m sorry.”
But the old lady waved her hand, “My granddaughter-in-law, we’re all family, why say such things? Besides, seeing that brat stand up for you, I couldn’t be happier!”
Keira Olsen was slightly stunned.
Family …
In this tumultuous world, with people coming and going, she had always known she had no family.
But now, it seemed like she truly felt what it was like to have a family.
…
Isla Olsen sold a bag in the second-hand market, managed to gather fifty thousand yuan, and transferred it to Finley Hill.
And she sent him a message: “Keep your mouth shut! Otherwise, neither of us will end well!”
Finley Hill’s response came quickly: “My dear niece, don’t worry, even if I can’t tell who among you and Keira Olsen is richer, I still know the difference.”
Isla Olsen still felt uneasy.
She must marry Jake Horton as soon as possible, so that even if her identity is exposed in the future, she will still be Mrs. Horton!
At nine o’clock in the evening, Jake Horton suddenly came to see her.
Isla Olsen was surprised, “Jake, why are you here?”
Jake Horton asked sternly, “Are you sure you’ve sorted things out with Dr. South?”
The words Keira Olsen said today had made Jake Horton anxious.
Isla Olsen’s eyes flickered, “Of course.”
“Then arrange a meeting with Dr. South for me.”
Isla Olsen nervously fidgeted with her fingers, “Dr. South has gone abroad. I’ll arrange it as soon as he returns. Jake, is there a problem you need to solve? I can contact him for you.”
Jake Horton looked at Isla Olsen suspiciously, “I’ve sent you the problem in an email, forward it to Dr. South, and ask him to help solve it.”
“Okay, I’ll forward it to him right now.”
To prove her words, Isla Olsen operated her phone and immediately sent the email: “Dr. South usually responds to my messages instantly, Jake, just wait a moment.”
In the VIP hospital room, Keira Olsen’s phone vibrated.
She took it out and saw that it was an email from Mrs. Olsen:
“South, can you help solve this problem?”
Keira Olsen guessed what it was, she opened the attachment, and sure enough, it was a technical issue from Horton Group!!
This Isla Olsen… had actually asked for her help using Mrs. Olsen’s name!!
Keira Olsen scoffed and replied to the message.
“Ding”
The email notification sounded, and Isla Olsen breathed a sigh of relief, “See, Dr. South responds to me very quickly, he has replied!”
Then, Isla Olsen opened the email …
