Chapter 78: Chapter 78
Isla Olsen was completely confused, frozen in shock.
Miss Allen… how could she be here?!
Her fingers clenched in panic, at this moment she just wanted to escape!
Rebecca Allen was somewhat afraid, the betrayal of her husband and mother-in-law made her extremely unconfident.
But under the gentle guidance of her brother’s voice, she looked up following Frankie Allen’s direction, expecting to see that despicable woman, yet unexpectedly she met the cold face of her benefactor!!
Rebecca Allen was momentarily stunned.
Keira Olsen looked at her, “Rebecca, where did I offend you, or what did I say wrong to make you hate me so much?”
Rebecca Allen: ??
She waved her hands helplessly, “No, I, I…”
Frankie Allen comforted her, “Rebecca, don’t be afraid, you can speak boldly.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Allen slapped him on the head, “Frankie, did you point out the wrong person? This is Miss Olsen, our benefactor!”
Rebecca Allen immediately nodded.
“What?”
Frankie Allen was slightly stunned, looking towards Keira Olsen, only to see her face cold and mixed with anger, her eyes coldly watching them.
He then looked towards Isla, indeed seeing her eyes flicker, her whole body trembling…
Frankie Allen suddenly understood something!
He pointed at Isla and asked Rebecca Allen, “Rebecca, tell me, who is she?”
Rebecca Allen looked over, then immediately withdrew her gaze and waved her hand, “Brother, please get her away from me quickly, I don’t want to see her!”
This attitude… clearly gave the answer!
Frankie Allen’s face changed drastically, suddenly saying, “So, Keira Olsen was the one who saved you, and Isla was that malicious woman who saw you in peril but didn’t help, even kicked you when you were down?!”
Rebecca Allen immediately nodded.
The conversation between the two was clearly heard by all the onlookers around.
Everyone understood what was going on, and they shockingly looked towards Isla and Jake Horton.
At that moment, Jake Horton also widened his eyes, his face in disbelief, slowly turning his head towards Isla, only to see her pale, bloodless complexion.
The whole scene fell silent for a time, those executives who had just accused Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton, now quiet as mice.
A cold and low voice suddenly rose, “Mr. Allen, just who is the one who can’t recognize people?”
Lewis Horton responded lightly with sarcasm, “You should visit a hospital for an eye examination.”
Frankie Allen moved his mouth nervously, not daring to speak.
Jalen Riley spoke sarcastically, “Maybe you shouldn’t bother saving people in the future, lest you get the wrong idea and someone cuts off your raw materials… Oh right, Mr. Allen just said he was going to make it so Miss Olsen couldn’t buy materials anywhere in the country, is that how the Allen family treats their benefactors?”
Frankie Allen immediately looked at Keira Olsen, his face filled with profound apology.
During this time, he had been dissatisfied with Isla because she had made various demands on him, but the real benefactor had never taken advantage of her kindness!
He said directly, “Miss Olsen, I was blind, and I will make sure your materials are delivered in full!”
“…Oh, okay.”
The annoyance on Keira Olsen’s face had disappeared, and upon realizing the truth, she even felt somewhat amused.
She had not expected Isla to stoop so low as to take credit for her actions!
She didn’t get angry randomly. Frankie Allen had been deceived by her… but this person’s brain and sight were not so good, perhaps it’s best to cooperate less in the future.
After Frankie Allen apologized, it was only then that he thought of the culprit, and he fiercely turned towards the area where Isla Olsen had been standing, intending to settle scores with her. But when he looked, he found… Isla Olsen was gone?
He frowned, his tone dark as he said, “Where is Isla Olsen?”
“She just ran off…”
Frankie Allen could only glare fiercely at Jake Horton, “Young Mr. Horton, you owe me an explanation for this!”
Taking the opportunity, Jalen Riley said, “Young Mr. Horton, you’re too impatient. It hasn’t been long since you graduated, yet you’re eager to establish yourself in the Horton Group. But shouldn’t we rely on true skill and genuine knowledge? Why always use these underhanded tactics?”
As soon as these words were out, the surrounding crowd began to buzz:
“It was the same with Dr. South’s incident. He got promoted to vice president thanks to Dr. South, but it turned out, Dr. South actually had connections with Mr. Horton…”
“I see it clear now, this time he planned to get promoted to general manager by banking on a life-saving favor!”
“That’s just shameless.”
“So it turns out Isla Olsen has always been stealing others’ credit, while Miss Olsen, without any conflict or aggression, has actually been helping us so much…”
“Mr. Allen now can’t lift his head in front of Mr. Horton. When Mr. Horton mentioned he wanted to check on the ophthalmology department, he didn’t dare to say a word. The cooperation hereafter would likely be much smoother!”
“…”
With the eyes and whispers of the crowd piercing his back, Jake Horton explained, “I didn’t know it was like this. This was all Isla Olsen’s doing, it has nothing to do with me. I was also deceived by her!”
Unfortunately, no one would believe him.
After all, as a couple, they had just announced their engagement with great fanfare!
Frankie Allen took a deep breath and turned to Lewis Horton, “Mr. Horton, I retract the suggestion I made during the signing, and I demand that our project collaboration between the Allen Family and Horton Family be carried out without young Mr. Horton’s involvement!”
Lewis Horton responded indifferently, “Okay.”
He glanced around, then firmly said, “The proposal to promote Jake Horton to the head of the project department is cancelled, and he is also removed from his position as the vice director of the R&D department. Does anyone object?”
The people shook their heads.
And Jake Horton felt like he had just been slapped hard across the face!
He clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into, and eventually left in humiliation.
“Benefactor!”
Rebecca Allen called out softly and then approached Kiera Olsen, almost crying, “My brother is really foolish. He mistook you guys and even thought he was avenging me. Did he do anything excessive to you?”
Kiera Olsen glanced at Frankie Allen who, although trying to appear calm, was so nervous he didn’t know where to put his hands, betraying his anxiety.
She smiled slightly and said lightly, “No.”
Rebecca Allen immediately relaxed, “That’s a relief then.”
Frankie Allen paused slightly, his look towards Kiera Olsen filled with somewhat grateful sentiments.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed darkly again.
He looked at Lewis Horton, “Mr. Horton, where does Isla Olsen live? When someone makes a mistake, they must pay the price!”
Lewis Horton narrowed his eyes and nodded towards Tom Davis behind him, “Go help Mr. Allen.”
“Okay.”
Meanwhile, Kiera Olsen lowered her head, quietly conversing with Rebecca Allen.
Mr. Allen stared relentlessly at Kiera Olsen.
Mrs. Allen nudged him, “Old Allen, what are you doing?”
Mr. Allen’s eyes lit up, “I remember now, no wonder I found Miss Olsen so familiar! I know whose daughter she is now!”
With that, he walked directly towards Kiera Olsen, “Miss Olsen, is your mother’s surname South?”
What do you think?
