Chapter 201: The Outcome
After all, he too was quite angry.
In the time he had spent with Keira, he had come to understand her well.
On the surface, she seemed indifferent to being an “illegitimate daughter,” but because of Mrs. Olsen, she felt some self-loathing.
Keira had a soft interior but a tough exterior and could calmly deal with anything that came her way.
But on this issue alone, she didn’t know how much it had hurt her.
Now that she knew Mrs. Olsen was her mother, who knew how happy she would be?!
As for Isla and Poppy…
A murderous intent flashed in Lewis’s eyes, and even if Uncle Olsen hadn’t said so, he wouldn’t let those two off the hook!!
The two of them thought this and walked side by side into the corridor from the staircase.
They saw Keira with her back to them, staring at Isla in front of her.
After Holly finished speaking, Poppy couldn’t believe what she was hearing and looked at Isla, her lips trembling as she asked, “Isla, you, you’ve known all along?”
Isla bit her lip and didn’t respond.
Holly sneered. “We investigated Finley’s bank records, and she’s known since elementary school! She was always threatened by Finley, and all her monthly allowance went to him.”
Poppy’s eyes widened in shock as she looked at Isla, feeling like a clown!
For all these years, she had pampered Isla, coddled Isla, always trying to please her even when the two were alone.
Isla always showed contempt for her, and sometimes even had hatred in her eyes, and Poppy comforted herself by thinking Isla never knew the truth, so it wasn’t her fault.
But if Isla had known all along that she was her birth mother, why did she still treat her as if she was disposable?
Especially when they were alone, how many times she had wanted to get close to her daughter, but Isla was always full of malice, treating her like a nanny! Suddenly, Poppy felt like a joke!
She had done so much, all for Isla, but what had her daughter done?
It was bad enough that she never had any respect or closeness for her, but now Holly had accused her of seducing Connor and enticing him to kill Finley?!
That was her own uncle!
Poppy could control herself no longer and leaped to her feet, rushing over to Isla. “Isla, tell me. Is what she said true?”
Isla pursed her lips tightly.
She was panicked and on the verge of collapse.
Why had it come to this…
Why had things turned out this way?
It should have been her who turned the tables, so why was everything suddenly changing?
Isla’s arm was gripped by Poppy, which she found utterly repugnant. Annoyed, she pushed Poppy away. “What does it matter? Are you planning to hold it against me?”
Poppy was stunned by her response. “I might not hold it against you, but what about your uncle? How could you…”
Isla persisted in feigning ignorance. “Don’t talk nonsense. I’ve never killed anyone. Finley’s death has nothing to do with me!”
Holly immediately said, “Isla, Connor has already revealed the truth, and you still won’t admit it?”
Isla sneered. “That’s just Connor’s statement. Does he have any evidence to accuse me?”
When Isla was seducing Connor to commit murder, she had never said anything like that; she had always been playing the victim.
She was very cautious, indeed leaving no trace behind.
Holly frowned, having wanted to trick her, but unexpectedly, Isla wasn’t fooled at all.
Isla’s schemes ran deep.
Seeing Holly’s silence, Isla felt a veiled sense of triumph. She sneered. “Holly if you have evidence, then come arrest me, but if you don’t, I advise you not to ’ spout nonsense here! Otherwise, I’ll definitely file a complaint against you!” Holly clenched her jaw tightly.
Isla began to feel smug, but in the next moment…
“Ungrateful creature! You ungrateful creature!”
Poppy couldn’t believe that her own daughter could be such a cold-blooded and ruthless person!
Finley was her only brother and the only male in the Hill family!
Connor was Finley’s only son, and Poppy had always doted on Connor.
But now, of the two men in the Hill family, one had been killed, and the other landed in jail!
Overwhelmed, Poppy couldn’t accept it and rushed at Isla, delivering a fierce slap across her face!
“Slap!”
Isla covered her face in disbelief, then glared at Poppy, shouting, “You dare to slap me? What right do you have to slap me?”
“Because I’m your mother!”
Isla sneered. “Mother? How can a mistress like you be my mother?”
Her emotions intensified. “Do you have any idea how panicked and desperate I felt when I suddenly found out I was the illegitimate daughter, not the rightful heiress of the Olsen family? Do you know how carefully I’ve tiptoed these years, living in constant fear that my parents would find out? I endured such hardship! It’s all because of you. I would have preferred to grow up in an ordinary family than to live with this disgrace!”
She screamed while clutching her abdomen, her facial expression twisting into something hideous and terrifying.
She then turned to the surrounding reporters. “I was forced into today’s situation by them! I’ve done nothing wrong!”
Noticing that she still refused to admit fault even at this moment, Uncle Olsen sneered and proceeded to chamber a round into his gun, ready to push through the crowd and move forward.
Despite the presence of so many reporters, he didn’t care one bit.
Lewis, seeing his actions, realized that Uncle Olsen had only threatened him with the gun earlier and had no real intent to shoot.
He shook his head in resignation and followed behind him.
If Uncle Olsen really killed Isla today, then he would take care of the aftermath.
But before they could move through the crowd, they suddenly heard Poppy’s scream. “Blood… Isla, what’s happened to you?”
Both men paused momentarily, then noticed that Isla’s pants were soaked with blood…
After being alerted by Poppy, Isla looked down and discovered she was bleeding profusely!!
She became frantic, her eyes widening in shock.
The more anxious she became, the more she felt the warm blood flowing uncontrollably…
Even if Poppy hated her, Isla was still her daughter, whom she had doted on from a young age, so she immediately cried out, “Doctor, doctor! Help!” Isla, careful not to leave any evidence, hadn’t taken any abortion drugs. To induce a miscarriage, she had indeed slammed hard into a table and then crashed heavily to the ground.
Under such violent impact, she should have rested, but instead, she had foolishly stood up to frame Keira.
Physically and mentally exhausted, plus the shock, she began to hemorrhage… Luckily, she was in a hospital, and she was promptly taken into the emergency room by the nurses. If this had happened outside, she would have bled to death within two minutes.
After Isla was taken away, more security personnel arrived to clear out the reporters, and the corridor quieted down.
For a moment, only Keira, Lewis, and Uncle Olsen remained..
