Chapter 17

The old lady had changed into a lavish outfit, but her complexion was still not very good.

Lewis Horton sat coldly to her left.

To the right sat a man over sixty years old, Lewis Horton's father.

On the sofa to the side sat a couple in their forties, Lewis Horton's older brother and sister-in-law, who were also Jake Horton's parents.

Although no one introduced the old lady's identity, anyone who could sit in the main seat at the Horton's must certainly be old Mrs. Horton!

Poppy Hill stood frozen in place, "You, you..."

She stuttered for a long time, unable to form a complete sentence.

Isla Olsen's legs went weak, and she almost fell, but Jake Horton steadied her.

Jake Horton was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Isla Olsen's hands were trembling.

She was indeed reaching far beyond her station in trying to join the Horton Family, where every elder was someone she had to painstakingly please, yet even before she had entered the door, she had managed to offend old Mrs. Horton!
