My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

157 Isla Is Arrested

Isla looked at him in disbelief.

But then she realized something.

The marriage certificate was displayed on the screen,

which meant Lewis had known about their misdeeds

all along!

Just as this thought crossed her mind, Tom suddenly took out a remote control and pressed a button, and

immediately, a video appeared on the screen.

The crowd could see it clearly. It was footage from two

surveillance cameras.

The first showed Isla sneaking into the video room and copying photos from a USB drive onto the computer.

The second was of two maids at home, one projecting the photos in the background and the other secretly

pressing the remote control...

The evidence was irrefutable!

Isla becflustered as she turned to look at Jake. He was aware of the whole affair, even having taken part in it

with her, but now Jake stepped back, avoiding eye

contact with her.

In a panic, Isla cried out subconsciously, “Jake...”

Jake instinctively glanced at Oliver.

His father was frowning and staring fiercely at him with disappointment in his eyes as if to say, “You can’t even

handle this trivial matter. You're useless!”

Jake clenched his fists tightly and suddenly rushed in front of Isla.

Isla thought he was going to protect her, her face lighting up with hope, but the next moment...

“Slap!”

Jake slapped her hard across the face. “Isla, | never thought you would be this kind of person! | know and Keira

don’t get along. She's your illegitimate sis and you've hated her since childhood, but how coul you do such a

thing at Great-grandma’s birthday banquet?!”

Isla was dumbfounded.

She held her cheek, looking incredulously at Jake at

this moment.

Poppy, who had been restrained, had calmed down after realizing she couldn't free herself. Her hands

were tied behind her, and a cloth was stuffed in her

mouth.

When she saw what happened, she immediately stood up. She let out an angry cry and started thrashing

around, knocking aside the bodyguards and then slamming head-first into Jake's stomach.

Jake was knocked back several steps with a dull pain in his abdomen.

Poppy, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, stared angrily at Jake. Although she didn’t speak, everyone could

see that she was furious!

It seemed if Jake dared to lay another hand on Isla, she was ready to fight him to the death!

The sight left the other guests stunned.

They whispered among themselves.

“What's going on here?”

“Isn't she Keira’s mom? Why is she protecting Isla like this?”

“Right you'd think she was Isla’s own mother!”

The whispers from the crowd brought Poppy back to her senses. She then looked at Isla, realizing she'd

overreacted, and turned her gaze to Keira.

Isla lowered the hand holding her cheek, but she understood that Jake was now unreliable.

She clenched her fists tightly and looked at Poppy, who stood protectively in front of her, with a flash of disdain

in her eyes.

This foolish woman always caused unnecessary trouble at times like this. She had knocked Jake aside. Was he

really the root of the issue?

She composed herself, and immediately, her face took on a tearful expression. She lowered her head. “It

wasn't on purpose. Keira toldshe just got her marriage certificate this year, so | had no idea her husband

was my uncle! | just thought their relations wasn’t right...”

She covered her cheek. “I didn’t mean anything by it, | just felt it was unfair to my aunt... My mom is soft and

kind, and it was because of this that she was replaced by a mistress who brought an illegitimate daughter

into our home... | just wanted one less person in this world like my mom, so | used the power of the public to

restrain them...”

Her sobbing made the audience frown.

One by one, they turned to look at Keira.

Indeed, Keira was the illegitimate daughter and the

child of the mistress Poppy.

Wasn't it natural for Isla to resent her?

But this was the Horton family party, and even if everyone sympathized with Isla, they didn’t dare to say

anything...

After all, the recent example of Mr. Horton chasing Erin out and making her unable to live in Oceanion anymore

was still fresh in everyone’s mind.

As everyone was in a daze, Lewis had already turned to the police, completely ignoring what Isla said. He said,

“She has infringed upon the image rights of my wife and me. Please handle it according to the law.”

The two police officers immediately approached Isla. “Miss, please cwith us to the police station for

investigation!”

Poppy, anxious, wanted to rush over, but was grabbed by a bodyguard.

Isla hadn't expected that her weeping plea would be ineffective and immediately looked toward her only savior-

Mrs. Olsen.

Suddenly, she rushed to Mrs. Olsen, grabbed her arm, and cried out, “Mom, help me! | only did it because | felt

you were being treated too unfairly. | really didn’t know she was married... and also, also... yes, I'm pregnant! |

can’t go to the police station! | can’t be taken away!”

Mrs. Olsen looked at her daughter.

She wanted to say something, but with the marriage certificate still in hand, and remembering that she had

mistakenly slapped Keira earlier that day, she found herself unable to ask Isla to let go....

Keira saw the dilemma she was in and felt a sharp twinge in her heart.

Mrs. Olsen was always known for her fairness and impartiality, but Isla was after all her biological daughter...

suddenly tried to say something, “I...”

Before she could finish, Lewis beat her to it. “Keira, even if you don’t pursue the matter, | will! The Horton Group

needs an explanation!”

This didn’t give Mrs. Olsen or Keira a chance to speak.

After he said this, Lewis nodded to the police.

The two police officers immediately grabbed Isla’s arms. “Miss, please cooperate with our investigation!”

Infringing upon image rights, particularly of this nature which hadn’t caused any notable reputation or financial

damage, wouldn't result in a severe

punishment after trial. At most, it would involve an apology and several days of detention.

But as Jake's wife and a young lady from a prestigious family in Oceanion, being taken away in such a public

venue with photographers nearby...

Isla would be humiliated!

This was a severe blow to the first branch of the family!

Mrs. Olsen understood this too and, knowing that the punishment wouldn't be too harsh considering Isla

was pregnant-perhaps not even detention-decided

not to say anything.

Isla had made too many mistakes. It was tfor her

to face sconsequences.

After Isla was taken away, only the first branch was left disheveled and disgraced.

Yet the banquet hall gradually returned to normal.

Mrs. Olsen looked at Keira, hesitated, and then finally managed to say, “I, Keira, I'm sorry...”

She had finally spoken those words.

Just as Keira was about to offer her swords of comfort, Taylor burst out in anger. “Shirley, you don’t need to

apologize to her! | think she’s doing this on purpose, trying to make you feel guilty! Otherwise why didn’t she tell

us about her marriage earlier if happened two years ago?”

With his arm around Mrs. Olsen, Taylor glared at Kei “What are your intentions in keeping this from us? Do you

need Shirley to apologize before you're satisfied? And just now, don’t think | don’t know that you and Mr. Horton

were putting on an act! | believe you

your heart, do you even consideryour father?”

Keira immediately frowned and looked at Taylor

calmly.

She only cared about the attitude of Mrs. Olsen; the words of the rest of the Olsen family didn’t matter to

her.

She just quietly looked at Taylor and said, “But you're not my father.”
