Chapter 169 Bully
That way, Lewis wouldn’t lose face because of her.
It would also keep Ellis from being so arrogantly triumphant.
Dressed in white riding gear, her spine ramrod straight, she rode the tall horse at a leisurely pace, unwittingly becoming the center of attention for
everyone present.
Isla also mounted a horse. novelbin
There was no help for it. With Ellis entering the equestrian arena, they all wanted to accompany him, and her slow riding wasn’t a big deal as long as she didn’t break into a run. There would be no risk to her
unborn child.
Isla was followed by a few lackeys she had summoned,
and those women were flattering her with beaming smiles:
“Miss Isla, your mother is really impressive. She’s able
to invite Mr. Olsen from Clance to this kind of
equestrian gathering!”
“Not just Mr. Olsen. Don’t underestimate the other young masters from those families! Their family backgrounds are quite formidable as well!”
“Isla, I used to think your family was just a middle-class household, but who would have known you had such powerful connections? Why didn’t you show off before? Your family is so low-profile!”
“Isla, your family name is also Olsen. Is your family related to the Clance Olsen family?”
Isla had already looked into this matter.
Indeed, there was a connection.
Taylor was a very distant relative of the Clance Olsen Family, separated by many generations, and due to the distance, there had been no contact between the two
families.
Taylor grew up in Oceanion and went to university in
Clance.
After graduating, he married Mrs. Olsen, Jodie South,
and it was only after this that he returned to
Oceanion…
When Mrs. Olsen was in Clance, she made contact
with many prominent young people from powerful families, and it seemed she had a pretty good relationship with them.
This time, she just casually sent a few messages to those in Clance, and some of the people who came today did so because of Ellis, but others came out of respect for Mrs. Olsen’s family.
In any case, these rich second-generation individuals indeed represented a formidable network of
connections.
When Isla turned her gaze to Ellis, she saw that Jake had already mingled among them, chatting and laughing.
Ellis, as the standout of this generation in the Olsen family, might have been showy in his actions, but he took very good care of Jake out of respect for Mrs. Olsen.
At least, however, Ellis felt inside, he appeared to get well with Jake on the surface.

But Jake was young and eager after all. He already wore a hint of pride on his face, unlike Lewis’s maturity and depth.
Isla’s eyes flickered.
If she had known earlier that Mrs. Olsen had so many connections, she wouldn’t have set her sights on Jake. If she could have married Lewis, she wouldn’t have to
live so hard now.
Keira really has good fortune!
Isla glanced at Keira, nudged her horse, and picked up the pace to catch up with her. “Keira, Chasing Wind really understands humans. You’re so stable on your first ride, and it hasn’t even shown its temper to you.”
This comment made the group of rich heiresses following her laugh.
“Judging by her appearance, this can’t be her first time riding experience. Who wouldn’t be scared their first time?”
“It’s definitely not her first time. Didn’t you hear?
When Miss Isla was taking riding lessons as a child, she was there, acting as a human stepping block for Miss
Isla!”
s that still a thing? I’ve only seen it on TV, where eunuchs would kneel down and let the emperor step on their backs to mount a horse. I’ve never seen it in
real life. Miss Isla, why don’t you and Keira perform it
for us?”
Isla’s smile deepened at the corners of her lips. “Don’t say that, times have changed. Now, Keira is my aunt, and my uncle is right here watching…”
“That doesn’t change the fact that she’s an illegitimate daughter! I heard when she was younger, she even had to fetch wash water for your feet?”
“Ew, a foot-washing maid. How disgusting!”
Keira’s eyes turned cold as she stared straight at Isla. “It was you who pushed me just now, wasn’t it?”
Isla narrowed her eyes. “Keira, what are you talking about? I don’t understand… But Mr. Horton’s horse is quite temperamental; you really have to be careful…”
Keira said nothing further and simply gave Chasing Wind’s reins a gentle tug.
Chasing Wind immediately showed an unruly and impatient demeanor, casting a glare at Isla’s horse, snorting softly through its nostrils.
Isla’s horse was suddenly startled and took a half-step to the side, its front hooves collapsing with a thud, making Isla tumble directly off the horse!
Isla rolled off, her riding outfit now smeared with dust from the ground.
But because the ground of the riding arena was loose
and soft, it didn’t cause much harm to her unborn
child.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
However, she was in a totally disheveled state, and it was exceedingly embarrassing.
“Miss Olsen!”
Staff and her lackeys rushed to her side, asking anxiously, “Are you alright?”
Isla clenched her fists tightly. “Keira, you did that on purpose!”
Keira leisurely adjusted the reins. “What are you
talking about? I don’t understand. Plus, it’s my first
time riding a horse; I don’t know how to control it. Mr. Horton’s horse is very fierce. Isn’t your horsemanship supposed to be good? How could you get so close to me? That was quite careless, wasn’t it?”
Isla was speechless!
Those words sounded all too familiar!
She trembled with anger.
Just then, Jake and Ellis noticed the commotion here
and had already galloped over.
Jake alighted from his horse and walked over to Isla’s side. “Is the baby alright?”
Isla really wanted to roll her eyes.
But seeing Ellis also looking over, she stared direct Keira, her lips quivering. “Aunt, I’m sorry. I shouldn’ have been disrespectful to you. I shouldn’t have let everyone bring up your status as an illegitimate daughter…”
She lowered her head, and with a voice of
aggrievement, she said, “When I get back, I’ll persuade my mother properly. I’ll accept you and stop picking
fights with you… You can come back to the Olsen
family whenever you want. I won’t dare stop you again, but can you please not harbor any ill intentions toward my baby? It’s innocent!”
As she spoke, her eyes reddened.
Keira frowned tighter. “What are you talking about? When did I ever want to return to the Olsen family?
Mrs. Olsen has never blamed me…”
Isla immediately nodded. “Of course, my mother wouldn’t dare blame you… After all, you are now my
uncle’s wife in the eyes of the law…”
Hearing this, Ellis grew more and more annoyed. Suddenly, without a word, he rode over to Keira’s side, then fiercely whipped her horse’s hindquarters!
Chasing Wind, startled, leapt forward and began to swiftly.
Ellis, an excellent rider himself, followed right beside Chasing Wind and sneered. “Miss Olsen, you like to bully others with your power? Then let’s give you a taste of your own medicine!”
Keira was perplexed.
