Mrs. Olsen looked toward Taylor. “Keira is bringing her husband home tonight; let’s get the kitchen ready,” she

said.

Taylor seemed a bit impatient. “If she’s coming, she’s coming. What’s there to prepare? Shirley, you’re just too good to her!”

Aunt South then headed to the kitchen.

Isla listened to the conversation between the two, narrowing her eyes.

With a smile, she said, “Then I’ll get Jake to come home for dinner too. After all, it’s Keira’s husband’s first visit

Hearing that, Mrs. Olsen couldn’t help but frown and interjected, “Remind Jake to bring fewer gifts when he

comes.”

She clenched her fists tightly!

Of course, she understood why Mrs. Olsen would sa such a thing because Keira’s husband came from a poor background, someone not fit for the public eye. Was Mrs. Olsen afraid that Jake would overshadow

him?!

She felt anger, thinking that Mrs. Olsen’s favoritism had had gone too far.

Seeing her displeased expression, Mrs. Olsen quickly
