Isla’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at her

mother’s phone.

She wouldn’t mistake that voice!

“Of course not!” Isla tore off her mask of decency and said viciously, “I just want to tell you, even if you’ve charmed Mr. Horton through old Mrs. Horton, you’re nothing more than a mistress and a toy! Mr. Horton is a married man! I’m different though. I’ll marry Jake and become a legitimate daughter-in-law of the Horton
