Chapter 130 - 130: DNA Test
But she would never let Mrs. Olsen engage in a losing deal, so after taking the money, she did put it in the stock market.
She hadn\'t lied; there truly was insider information.
As Nora, she had developed so many clinical drugs that many powerful figures, unable to wait for the drugs to hit the market, had to buy from her.
Thus, Keira had a strong, invisible social circle.
Just a while ago, someone who got the medicine from her shared a piece of information, which Keira didn\'t use for herself but used for Mrs. Olsen.
At this moment, that particular stock showing on her phone was soaring, almost hitting the daily limit.
Everyone who looked was stunned.
The stocks worth sixteen million had doubled in value!
It was an outrageous profit!
Mrs. Olsen was also stunned. "That\'s so profitable! Keira, you must have invested a lot too, right? Take it out now. Stocks like this can\'t last forever. Earning a bit is enough."
Mrs. Olsen was very clear-headed and never greedy.
Keira didn\'t explain that she hadn\'t bought any and simply nodded. "I\'ll sell them tomorrow and transfer the money back to your account."
Mrs. Olsen immediately said, "Don\'t. That money was already promised to you as dowry. Isla was right; you should buy a house for yourself, where you and your husband can live together."
These words carried a clear implication.
Keira looked toward Isla and Jake.
After thinking for a moment, she didn\'t refuse, "Alright."
This pleased Mrs. Olsen.
Isla seized the opportunity to speak up. "Keira, it\'s not that Mom is being nosy, but being someone\'s mistress is ultimately something disreputable. Look at your mother... She has lived in the shadows her entire life; she\'s not happy at all. If you were to have children, they would be like you, with an awkward identity, garnering no sympathy. If they live well, people will say they achieved it through scheming; if not, people will say they deserve it..."
Keira tensed her jaw and put down her fork, about to speak.
"Shut up!"
Mrs. Olsen harshly cut Isla off, shocked at what she was hearing. "How could you say such a thing?!"
But Isla just sneered.
She was already married to Jake and no longer had to consider Mrs. Olsen\'s feelings. She said directly, "I\'m speaking the truth, aren\'t I? Besides, I\'m doing this for Keira\'s own good. Or do you think that it\'s good for Keira to have such a status? You don\'t mind Poppy at all?"
Mrs. Olsen was left speechless.
Isla continued. "I\'ve never seen any illegitimate daughter treated with such sincerity by the wife of the family. Dad said it himself that he wouldn\'t give her a second thought, but you, you treat her like a gem. Mom, does that mean in your eyes, I don\'t compare to her?"
She lowered her head to wipe her tears and then looked toward Keira. "Are you satisfied seeing me being scolded by Mom like this?"
Keira found Isla utterly nonsensical. She wondered what Isla was up to this time.
The next moment, Jake suddenly stood up, glaring at Keira. "Enough! An illegitimate daughter keeps causing trouble in this family. Shirley, Taylor, I think you really need to reflect on yourselves! I used to think Isla had changed, but it turns out, Isla grew up in such a family. Your favoritism is the root cause of Isla turning out this way!"
With his prestigious status, Taylor didn\'t dare to rebut Jake.
Mrs. Olsen wanted to say something, but upon seeing Isla\'s victim-like demeanor, she couldn\'t bring herself to speak. She reflected on herself.
Had she really been too harsh on Isla since childhood?
Mrs. Olsen looked stunned.
Jake then looked at Keira. "And you, you think you\'re caring for Mrs. Olsen, but do you know that you have no right to care for her? On what grounds do you care for her? Every time you show concern, it\'ll drive Mrs. Olsen and Isla apart!"
After saying this, he frowned. "An illegitimate daughter should stay in her dark corner. Don\'t keep jumping out to disgust people!"
He seemed to be scolding Keira, but through her, it was as if he was scolding someone else.
Keira clenched her jaw.
Mrs. Olsen had already spoken up to rebuke him. "Jake Horton, you\'ve gone too far!"
She would never grovel to him just because he had a high status.
Taylor patted her hand, but Mrs. Olsen withdrew her hand and frowned at Jake and Isla. "A person can\'t choose their parents. It\'s unfair of you to speak to her this way!" Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
Isla immediately started crying. "Is it fair for you to let her take away the motherly love that belongs to me?"
Jake also frowned. "Shirley, you need to understand that Isla is your daughter! Keira is your enemy!"
Mrs. Olsen wanted to say more, but Keira tugged at her sleeve. "Ma\'am, don\'t argue with them."
Mrs. Olsen was startled.
Keira stood up. She looked around and put on an indifferent expression. "Ma\'am, I came here today just to see how you were. Since you\'re in good health, I\'ll take my leave first."
Mrs. Olsen pursed her lips, looked around, and finally said in resignation, "Then let me see you out."
"Alright."
Mrs. Olsen saw her to the door. Watching Keira get into the car, she asked, "Will you come again?"
"No."
Keira\'s reply left Mrs. Olsen feeling a void in her heart. Keira then smiled. "But we can meet somewhere else. You haven\'t met my husband yet. Next time, I\'ll formally introduce him to you."
Mrs. Olsen\'s smiled, "Alright."
The Horton family\'s Bentley quickly left the Olsen residence.
Once the car turned a corner and disappeared from view, Mrs. Olsen suddenly turned around, took hold of Aunt South\'s hand, and handed her a strand of hair she had pulled from Keira\'s head earlier. "Find an agency and get a paternity test done to see if Keira really is Taylor\'s daughter."
Aunt South was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
Mrs. Olsen looked down and didn\'t answer.
Aunt South understood that she shouldn\'t ask any further and nodded.
Only then did Mrs. Olsen re-enter the dining room, to see Isla, Jake, and Taylor smiling and chatting again as if they would always be a happy, harmonious family without Keira around.
Yet somehow, Mrs. Olsen always felt something was missing.
After she walked over, she didn\'t mention Keira again.
The family of four finished their meal, then returned to the sofa to chat for a while, and by the time Isla and Jake were leaving, it was already eight o\'clock.
Mrs. Olsen and Taylor saw them out of the living room, and just as they came out, the nanny came running over in a panic. "Madam, Miss Keira\'s husband has arrived!"
