NovelEnglish68 Meeting
Isla also received a call from the police station.
As a witness who saw the whole incident, when she discovered that Rebecca’s brother was no ordinary person,
she cooperated with the police to provide her statement and didn’t dare to lie.
She was more than happy to oblige, so she happily agreed.
By testifying for Rebecca, she could make Frankie indebted to her again...
Just as she was feeling triumphant, her phone suddenly rang again. She glanced at the caller ID. Her face
darkened. It was Finley Hill!
While she wanted to hang up, she didn’t dare to. Finally, she reluctantly picked up, “What?”
“Dear niece, you have to help me! If | can’t pay back the money this time, I'll be beaten to death!” Finley
Hill’s voice made Isla frown and irritated.
She clenched her fist. “How much?”
“Five million.”

“How much?!” Isla’s voice suddenly rose, feeling like
she must have heard him wrong.
Although the Olsen family was wealthy and gave her an allowance of 150,000 every month since middle school,
Olsen’s current cash deposit was only a few million. Along with the company’s working capital, it didn’t even
reach twenty million.
She thought that the two million from last twould keep Finley Hill occupied for a while, but it had only been a
few days, and Finley Hill needed five million
more!
However, Finley Hill wasn’t at all intimidated. “Can you afford it or not? If you can’t, they'll kill me, then I'll
have to talk to Keira.”
Isla’s pupils contracted.
“You have two days. If the money isn’t in my account by then, don’t blme for revealing your and Keira’s
origins. After all, one’s life is the most important, right?”
After leaving these words, Finley Hill hung up. The infuriated Isla threw her cell phone to the ground.

To cup with such a large sum of five million, she could only ask her family for help.
Thinking of this, Isla began to hesitate and falter.
Although Keira didn’t expose her for stealing Dr. South’s emails, Mrs. Olsen seemed to have guessed something.
Starting from yesterday, she wasn’t in a good mood toward Isla.
Isla frowned and went to Mrs. Olsen’s room.
As she got close, she heard Mrs. Olsen asking, “Where is Poppy Hill? She seemed to have disappeared for a few
days.”
Taylor answered, “Who cares what she’s doing? Maybe she went back to her brother's place. She'd better not
cback at all. | get annoyed every t| see her.”
Outside, Isla’s eyes flickered
She collected her emotions, walked in with red eyes,
and choked out, “Mom, Dad.”
Mrs. Olsen got up to comfort her but hesitated and sat
back down on the sofa.
Taylor frowned and asked, “Isla, did you upset your
mother?”

Isla began to cry. “Mom, | was wrong. | shouldn’t have framed Keira. | was just jealous of the attention you gave
her.”
Her tears seemed genuine. “Mom, Keira is so capable now. She’s Dr. South and can arrange hospital rooms for
you, but | am not as good as her. | am a bit scared that your love for her will surpass your love for me... When |
was studying with her, classmates teased me, saying that my parents were getting a divorce and you were
buying clothes and food for her. They also said that you didn’t wantanymore and wanted her as a
daughter... That's why | was always more concerned
about her...”
Mrs. Olsen's expression softened visibly. She stepped toward Isla and sighed. “How can you be so
narrow-minded? Moreover, Keira kept her distance
because she was aware of this. She hasn't chome
in years. She's not trying to takeaway from you, and | won't love her more than you either! Stop thinking too
much from now on!”
Isla sobbed. “Really?”
Mrs. Olsen chuckled. “You're all grown up. How can I lie to you?”

Isla chuckled through her tears. “Then tellyou love
Mrs. Olsen said in resignation. “Okay, | love you the
most.”
Isla’s smile grew more genuine, but then she heard Mrs. Olsen mention something else. “You should stop seeing
Keira as your imagined enemy!”
Her smile faltered, and a shadow crossed her eyes.
Isla lowered her head. “I won’t anymore. I'm sorry for
what I did.”
After placating Mrs. Olsen, Isla finally spoke up. “Mom, I'm going to buy a wedding ring with Jake today. | thought
| should buy a gift for him as well.”
Mrs. Olsen nodded in approval. “Good. We shouldn't take advantage of him.”
Isla, who had a job now, had a monthly living expense of 300,000.
She lived at hand didn’t usually spend too much
money.
Mrs. Olsen assumed that Isla would have accumulated
millions in her private coffers and hence didn’t

perceive any subtext in Isla’s words.
Isla’s expression froze momentarily. She gritted her teeth and decided to be candid. “After | got together with
Jake, my expenses have increased somewhat... I'm a bit short of cash now...”
Only then did Mrs. Olsen understand. “I still have over three hundred thousand here. I'll transfer it to you
later.”
Isla choked on her words. “Only over three hundred thousand?”
Mrs. Olsen sighed, “Yes, | lent my money to Keira. She wanted to buy sstocks...”
Before Isla could express her dissatisfaction, Taylor got in first. “Buying stocks? The stock market is doing so
badly now. Who would join at this time? It’s utter nonsense! What if we lose that money?”
But Mrs. Olsen waved him off. “She said a friend gave her a tip, so we won't lose money. Besides, even if we lose
money, just consider it as a gift for her. Over the years, she has brought billions of profits to the company. Giving
her over ten million isn’t enough to
thank her.”

Taylor frowned, clearly not satisfied.
But Isla felt a surge of anxiety, realizing that she couldn't get her hands on five million in a short time...

She walked downstairs in a daze and got in Jake
Horton's car.
Jake seemed rather lively. “Isla, my father was very happy to hear that you saved Mr. Allen’s sister. He
transferred smoney this morning and askedto buy snice jewelry for you as a gift from him!”
Isla’s eyes flickered with guilt. “Let’s go to the police station first. They needto make a record for Mr.
Allen's sister's case.”
Jake smiled. “Sure, I'll drop you off.”
When they arrived, they ran into Frankie Allen in the parking lot.
Seeing Isla, Frankie understood why she was there. Thinking of her coming here to testify, his resentmen toward
her lessened. “Miss Olsen, thank you for
making this trip.”
Isla smiled, “No problem.”
The three of them exchanged greetings and were

about to enter the police station when they ran into Keira, who was coming out.
Keira was the first to arrive at the police station.
She recounted again the events of that day from start to end, confirmed that the statement was accurate, and
signed and sealed the statement. She then headed
out,
The police officer who saw her out was still speaking to her. “Miss Olsen, you decided on the spot to save
someone. We've decided to commend you orally. We are preparing to issue a public announcement.”
