connected to the phone’s Bluetooth, so at this moment there was a recorded voice message on the phone, which she sent directly to Holly via WhatsApp. “Take this and play it for Connor.”

She knew anyone who heard these heartless words would no longer keep Isla’s secret for her.

In this game, she had already won.

“What are you doing? Miss Isla is talking to you, you’re playing with your phone?!” Poppy suddenly stood beside Keira, barking angrily. “Agree to Miss Isla’s request now and then immediately go and clarify to Jake that the report was forged by you. Isla’s child is

Jake’s!”

Poppy righteously stated, “This is the first time Miss Isla has asked you for something! You must agree to her request!”

After sending the message, Keira put away her phone and, upon hearing this, she found it laughable. “Why should I agree just because she asks? When I was a child, I asked her for many things. Did she agree to any of them?”

As a child, every time Isla was unhappy, she would take

it out on her.

Keira was young and naive, kneeling and begging her to spare her, but Isla remained superior, calling her lowly and telling her to dream on.

Keira was no saint; she couldn’t possibly agree to Isla’s

request.

She looked down on Isla from a higher position.

But she saw Isla’s eyes were filled with determination, and Isla suddenly smiled. “Why? Just because you are an illegitimate daughter and I’m Miss Olsen! Because the Olsen family raised you, because you took away my father, made my mother miserable for life! Keira, you owe the Olsen family!”

Keira’s pupils slightly contracted. “The time I gave up Jake to you, I paid back the Olsen family’s kindness…”

“You haven’t settled the debt!” Isla stood straight, rising from the ground, bending over to pat her knees, her eyes twinkling with malice. “A child can never fully repay her parents for raising her! Keira, without the Olsen family, you would have died long ago! The debt you owe the Olsen family is a life!

“Tell me how much is your life worth? Do you think

what you’ve done so far can settle that?”

Isla stepped forward, pressing Keira, and then pointed to Mrs. Olsen lying in the hospital bed. “And look, look at my dad and mom!!”

She pointed to Taylor and said, “My dad made a mistake once, but if it weren’t for you, why would the Olsens have taken you and your mother in?! It’s the existence of you that has been a thorn in my parents’ hearts! Look at him…”

Isla pointed to Taylor, who seemed oblivious to the outside world; despite the long dispute in the room, Taylor hadn’t spoken a word as if he hadn’t heard anything.

He looked haggard and disheveled, barely drinking water just to avoid using the toilet.

His gaze was fixed on Mrs. Olsen, and he seldom blinked as if in fear that Mrs. Olsen would suddenly disappear…

Isla pointed at him and berated Keira. “Dad loves Mom so much, but it’s because of you that Mom softened. her heart to keep you, ruining any chance between my parents! Do you believe that if Mom doesn’t make it
