Tom’s voice came through the phone. “Mr. Horton asked me to ask Miss Isla Olsen, when did my boss say he wanted to make Miss Keira Olsen disappear from Oceanion? How come even my boss doesn’t know that?”

Taylor’s face stiffened, and he looked at Isla in disbelief.

Isla’s face instantly turned pale.

Taylor laughed awkwardly and apologized to Tom, who finally left a comment, saying, “The Olsen Family really needs to teach their daughter a lesson” before’ hanging up. Taylor then glared at Isla.

Isla lowered her head and cried. “When I saw Keira clinging to Mr. Horton, I was afraid she’d affect my marriage with Jake, and I was even more afraid that the Horton family would look down on me… Dad, I didn’t mean to.”

“That’s no excuse to act in Mr.Horton’s name!” Taylor said angrily.

Isla clenched her fists, her eyes flickering. She sobbed, “Dad, after all, Keira is also your daughter. I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to scold her…”

“Nonsense!!”

As expected, Taylor changed the topic. “How many times have I told you? In my heart, I only have one daughter, and that’s you! How can Keira compare with you?!”

Mrs. Olsen disagreed. “Taylor, don’t say that. Keira is your daughter no matter what!”

Taylor immediately turned around. “Shirley, after all these years, don’t you understand? I did a terrible thing to you when I was tricked by Poppy Hill. I’ll never acknowledge her or her daughter! In my heart, only you and our daughter are my family.”

Poppy, who was serving as a housemaid standing at the side, clenched her fists in resentment when she heard this!

She looked at Taylor with a bitter expression.

He was the man she deeply loved and the neighbor she grew up with as a childhood friend, yet this man only had eyes for Jodie South!

Back then, after Poppy got pregnant, she went to him with the pregnancy test, saying she could be his mistress, but he mercilessly drove her away, saying he’ wouldn’t betray his wife…

Poppy had no other choice but to go to Jodie, and only barely managed to stay in the Olsen family after making a scene.

For so many years, Taylor had never shown her any affection, and he treated Keira as if she were nothing…

Fortunately for Poppy, she had switched the two children!

Poppy lowered her head, barely holding back the smirk in her eyes.

Taylor would never know that the daughter he claimed to have with Jodie and the daughter he had loved dearly for so many years, Isla, was actually Poppy’s daughter!

As for Keira, Poppy was convinced that the girl deserved to be ignored!

Mrs. Olsen, however, stubbornly shook her head. “Taylor, Isla was wrong. She lied and caused us to misunderstand Keira. We should apologize to Keira.”

Taylor frowned. “Apologize? How can our daughter apologize to Poppy’s daughter?”

Poppy immediately said. “There’s no need. The Olsen family raised her. How much of a favor is that? Besides, she was already in the wrong for shamelessly chasing after Mr. Horton. It’s only right and proper for the Olsen family to discipline her. It’s a blessing for her…”

Mrs. Olsen looked at them and sighed softly, but didn’t argue further.

After dinner, as Isla escorted her back to her room, Mrs. Olsen looked at her. “If you have time tomorrow, I’ll take you to see Keira and apologize to her.”

Isla’s face stiffened. She had avoided her father’s punishment, but not Mrs. Olsen’s… She weakly said, “Okay.”

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Olsen sighed again. “Didn’t you want to introduce Jake to Dr. South? Let’s do it together tomorrow.”

Isla’s eyes immediately lit up. She held onto Mrs. Olsen’s arm. “Alright, Mom, you’re the best!”

Because she offended old Mrs. Horton, she lost 2% of the shares in Horton Group.

She now urgently needs to show her worth to the Horton family, fearing that Jake might call off their engagement.

Mrs. Olsen patted her head in resignation.

After Isla left happily, Mrs. Olsen then looked at Aunt South. “Sister South, I’ve been unwell all these years and didn’t have the energy to discipline Isla. I ’ haven’t done my job…” She started coughing.

But Aunt South said, “Ma’am, you’re overthinking it! I think Miss Isla is very nice. She’s considerate and a good daughter. Even if she occasionally lies, as long as she changes in the future, it doesn’t matter.”

But Mrs. Olsen said, “Keira never lies.”

She started coughing violently again.

Aunt South immediately helped her to the bed. “You’re always thinking too much. That’s why after all these years, you haven’t recovered from this disease…”

Mrs. Olsen smiled bitterly.

The next day.

Ever since Keira woke up in the morning, she’s been a bit on edge. It had been ten years since she last met Mrs. Olsen, and she didn’t know if Mrs. Olsen would be happy or angry when they met.

At noon, she decided to go home, take a shower, and change her clothes.

The old lady asked Lewis to take her home.

The two of them left the hospital room, and as soon as they got downstairs, they saw Tom walking over. “Boss.”

Lewis slightly nodded at him, then Tom handed a piece of paper to Keira. “Miss Olsen, you can take a look.”

Keira took it in bewilderment and found that the paper listed a row of renowned universities in the country, with famous professors in the field of new energy!

She looked at Tom, confused, “What’s this?”

Tom slightly raised his chin. “These are all professors more renowned than Professor Miller. You can choose one to continue your postgraduate studies. It’s Mr. Horton’s compensation for canceling your research position eligibility, Miss Olsen. You can consider it a blessing in disguise.”

Keira s lips twitched. “That won’t be necessary.”

She had heard of most of these professors, and many of them had sent her emails, wanting to learn from her professional knowledge.

“So you want to continue with Professor Miller’s graduate program?”

“No.”

If these people don’t suit your taste, do you want to join Dr. South’s graduate program?”

Tom frowned. “That’s a bit difficult. Dr. South is highly sought after now. I heard several foreign universities are offering him positions. Miss Olsen, such a genius professor will only recruit genius students. I’m afraid you might not meet his standards. You may as well not get your expectations too high. Choose one from these professors. After graduating from the master’s program, you can apply for Dr. South’s PhD program, right?”

Keira looked at him as if she was looking at a fool. She then said to Lewis, “Mr. Horton, you don’t need to drive me back. I’ll take a taxi.”

After saying that, she left the hospital right away, hailed a cab, and left.

Tom scratched his head. “I heard that Isla wanted to do a post-graduate program under Dr. South. Is Keira trying to be as good as her? Is that why she wants Dr. South? Isn’t that beyond her abilities?”

But Lewis was staring in the direction Keira left. His handsome and firm face was expressionless, and his brooding eyes were like bottomless pits, hiding his thoughts.

He suddenly said, “Then help her contact Dr. South.”

“What?” Tom was stupefied.

Why was his boss being so nice to her?

Was he mesmerized by her good looks?

Mrs. Olsen arrived with Isla and Jake at the private restaurant ten minutes early.

After getting out of the car, Jake frowned at the surroundings. “Why here?” Isla was confused. “Jake, what’s wrong?”

Jake pursed his lips. “Nothing.”

Isla then looked at Mrs. Olsen. “Mom, has Dr. South arrived yet?” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
