122 Tip-off

Fiona immediately nodded, took out her mobile phone, and intended to go aside to make a call.

Jake sneered, “Fiona, having this woman here is nothing but a calamity. She has been deceiving Great-grandma all along. We’re also considering the Horton family’s well-being. You don’t need to make that call. After we send this person away, when my Uncle comes back tonight, I’ll explain everything to him.”

Fiona frowned. “Mr. Jake, we should still wait for Mr. Lewis to come back and decide on this matter! After all, Miss Olsen is a guest of him and old Mrs. Horton!”

“A guest? I see her as nothing but a shameless woman clinging to my uncle!”

Old Mrs. Horton was so angry that her chest heaved. “Jake! You disobedient boy! I’ve said it. She’s your uncle’s wife; you can’t treat her like this!”

Melissa also heaved a sigh. “Grandma, you are really confused. Lewis’s wife is studying abroad; she hasn’t returned. You mistook this Miss Olsen for someone

else!”

“I didn’t mistake her for anyone!”

Old Mrs. Horton struggled, refusing to leave.
