106 Parentage

Connor’s gaze was dark as he looked downstairs.

At this moment, he probably knew that everything was settled, and there were no more reasons to resist or

deny it, so he appeared much calmer than he did during the live broadcast.

He was handcuffed, standing there.

He turned around and then obediently sat at the interrogation table, his face showing a mix of anger and struggle.

His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Holly, “What you did is against the rules!”

Holly lowered the gaze. “We were in debt to Miss Olsen and Mr. Horton. They didn’t hold us

accountable, so helping her with this small favor is nothing. Even if the department punishes me, at most I’ll get a demerit. I’m not afraid.”

Connor angrily slapped the table. “You can’t do this to me; it’s too cruel!”

“Cruel?” Keira stepped forward, closing in on him. “Is it

innocent here. You’ve seen Isla’s true color; you don’t need to keep her secret anymore.”

But Connor clutched at his head. “I don’t believe it! She couldn’t possibly have set me up! How could she! There’s no benefit to her in doing this! You people must be playing tricks!”

Keira slowly said, “No benefit? Who says so?”

She stood up straight and looked toward Lewis. “Mr. Horton, these past few days, Isla has been trying to reconcile with Jake, but it seems he hasn’t agreed to meet her, has he?”

Lewis went along. “The Horton family wouldn’t welcome a woman who steals others’ credit.”

Keira smiled. “What about now? After her successful report, the police station will award her a commendation for bravery.”

After finishing her statement, Keira winked at Lewis.

She stood gracefully, her cunning and seductive eyes giving others a sense of profound affection. Her gesture at that moment was more enchanting than

any other people, which was quite tempting.

Lewis swallowed, and his eyes darkened slightly.

He withdrew his gaze and played along. “The Horton family needs this kind of positive image. Didn’t you see? Jake’s attitude toward her has softened.”

Keira raised an eyebrow, expressing her thanks to him.

She then looked at Connor. “Hear that? She did all this to get that award, and then to knock on Horton family’s door.”

Connor’s eyes were about to split with fury. “Shut up!”

Keira slowly closed in. “So, you’re really okay with her stepping on you to climb up? You’d spend the rest of your life in prison, while she could marry into the Horton family and become the young madam…”
