150 Disappointment

Keira knew that no matter what she said, these people wouldn’t believe her.

Just like the class reunion a few days ago…

She didn’t plan to make empty claims. Instead, she took out evidence, hoping to convince Mrs. Olsen of her innocence.

She looked at Mrs. Olsen and slowly said, “Ma’am, Mr. Horton and I truly are…”

Before she could finish, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and snatched her marriage certificate from Mrs. Olsen’s hand.

Isla’s shrill voice interrupted her. “Do you think that just by producing a marriage certificate, you can prove your claim? Keira, do you take everyone for blind fools?”

the police, and why not summon some reporters too? Let everyone see whether it is you, the adulteress and homewrecker who should be denounced and vilified,

or whether I, the defender of justice, should be

blamed!”

Keira said forcefully, “I’ve said it before, I am not the

‘other woman’, Lewis and I are…”

“Smack.”
