189 Truth

Isla deliberately created the false impression that Keira had pushed her, so defending herself at this moment was the lowest tactic.

Lewis deeply understood the art of negotiation.

Offense was the best defense, which was why he didn’t bother explaining anything about how Keira didn’t lay hands on Isla but instead, he let loose this statement.

tearfully she said, “Mom, Jake, to protect Aunt Keira, Uncle even tells such lies. How can I stay in the Horton family after this?”

As she cried, Jake immediately reacted. “Well, Uncle, no wonder you told me that the child wasn’t mine before. It turns out it was all to pave the way to harm this child, wasn’t it?

She sighed quietly and calmly stated. “The child really isn’t yours.”

“Bullshit! Don’t I know what happened between Isla and me? To absolve yourself, you even stoop to sayi this! Keira, you’ve truly lowered my opinion of you! I’l get to the bottom of this!”

Melissa immediately started crying. “My poor grandchild, gone just because of their jealousy… Ever since Lewis became the family head, we of the first branch have been accommodating at every turn. and
