Chapter 194 The Truth Revealed
Chapter 194 The Truth Revealed
Isla's words were remarkably candid.
Yet, Keira heard nothing but cold-blooded ruthlessness in them.
Since Isla's miscarriage, Keira had been feeling very distressed.
To simply discard a baby like that, Isla was just too cruel.
But Keira quickly adjusted her emotions and continued to set her trap. "Don't you consider the father's feelings? Does he know about the child's existence?"
"The child's father?"
Isla was unaware that Keira had known for some time that Connor was the father of the child, so she said disdainfully, "That was just me playing around. He's a toy, which I've long since thrown away!"
Having achieved her objective, Keira silently sighed.
She turned off the recording pen.
Then she took out her phone, the recording pen was 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, and 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. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
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 through this time, Dad will follow her without hesitation?!"
Keira was slightly taken aback.
Isla then pointed to Mrs. Olsen on the hospital bed. "And my mom, what kind of legal wife truly tolerates an illegitimate daughter born of a mistress?! You were about to starve, but she saved you, helped you go to school, and watched you grow up. Have you ever considered where her pain came from?
Why did she contract a coughing disease? It's all from worry and overthinking! Dad loves Mom so much, that life at home has never been a concern for her. Her only worry has been you! Do you know, for all these years, my parents have never shared a room?!"
Keira's usually straight back showed a trace of collapse upon hearing these words...
She had always told herself that the mistakes were Poppy's, not hers, which finally freed her from Poppy's curse-like brainwashing.
But at this moment, Isla's words made her understand, it was all in vain, because...
"You think you're innocent, don't you? But did you know, that some people's very existence is the original sin? You don't kill but someone dies because of you! Keira, do you still think that you are truly innocent?"
Isla took a step forward, as she became serious, her words piercingly sharp.
Her background and position gave her the right to accuse herself...
Keira unconsciously stepped back half a step...
"And there's me, Keira, I was clearly the most beloved daughter to Mom and Dad. I should have had the happiest family. If it hadn't been for you, even if Dad made a mistake, he would have had a lifetime to make Mom forgive him! Time is the best healer, and Mom would have forgiven Dad... but it's because of your existence, constantly reminding them of Dad's mistake in the past! Every day I had to carefully coax Mom and Dad. As a child, I woke up crying countless times, terrified that they might get divorced..."
Isla spoke in the calmest voice, uttering the cruelest words in the world.
"And it's all thanks to you!!"
Keira swayed, and she fell into a chair.
She was astonished and shocked.
Disbelief flashed in her eyes as she looked at Isla, her gaze turning to confusion and panic, and she couldn't restrain a slight tremble.
Yes...
Her existence had always been a mistake.
Mrs. Olsen's worries and overthinking were because of her!
Keira clenched her fists tightly, once again despising her own origins, even feeling that the blood she inherited from Poppy was filthy...
Isla looked at her coldly.
This was her ultimate move to use against Keira!
Keira, with a strong sense of morality, burdened with guilt toward Mrs. Olsen, had always blamed herself for her existence. Combined with Poppy's and her lifelong indoctrination, even after growing up and changing her perspective, she still believed her birth was a sin.
Isla suppressed the smile tugging at her lips, bent down, and whispered into Keira's ear. "So, you owe me! You owe the Olsen family! Keira, you'll never be able to repay it all!"
Keira bit her lip fiercely, staring at Isla, then turning to Poppy.
Poppy's face was even more detestable. "Right, you ungrateful creature and illegitimate daughter. What right do you have to compete with Miss Isla? Are you not a lowborn? You should immediately admit your wrongdoing, take on all the guilt, and repay your sins!"
She reached out and snatched Keira's ear harshly, pointing at Isla and shouting, "Illegitimate daughter, kneel before Miss Isla!"
Illegitimate daughter...
It was like a curse!
She forced Keira to stand up and face Isla.
Despair filled Keira's eyes.
She felt as if she was back in her childhood, back in that cramped basement...
It was she who caused Mrs. Olsen's unhappiness, she who caused Mrs. Olsen to occasionally stare into space and weep... it was her existence that made Mrs. Olsen heartbroken.
She, such a rotten person, only deserved to stay in a filthy gutter forever, right?
Keira gave a bitter smile.
Isla looked at her again. "So, Keira, do you agree to my request? You go tell Jake that the report was forged by you... you owe it to me!"
She pushed Keira toward the door. "Go now and tell him..."
But Keira suddenly stopped in her tracks, head bowed, and then she suddenly spoke, "Isla..."
Isla was startled.
Meanwhile, inside the detention center.
Holly, upon receiving Keira's WhatsApp message, immediately summoned Connor for questioning.
Once inside, she played the recording for Connor to hear.
The venomous and cold-blooded words of Isla, like knives, cut deep into Connor's heart!
He clutched his chest in pain, "No, it can't be like this, how can she treat me like this!!"
Holly looked at him coldly, like a stern and impartial judge. "Connor, you heard the recording. Are you still sure you want to keep secrets for such a person?!"
Connor clenched his fists tightly.
His chest heaved, and he was on the verge of collapse with tears rolling down his cheeks.
Suddenly he revealed a vicious look. "Well done, Isla. For your wealth and status, you can sacrifice me, sacrifice our child, then don't blame me for being heartless!"
He turned to Holly and said slowly, "Let me tell you a secret. Keira is Mrs. Olsen's real daughter! Isla is a fake! It was Poppy who secretly switched the children years ago!"
