My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

Chapter 198  Evidence

Holly stood gasping at the top of the staircase, her voice calm and indifferent, carrying a sense of impartiality and integrity that left no room for favoritism.

Clad in her police uniform, her presence commanded respect.

When Keira saw her, she was slightly taken aback.

She had just sent that recording to Holly not more than half an hour ago, how had she managed to get here so quickly?

As Keira pondered, Holly cut through the crowd of reporters, arriving in front of her.

Isla's heart skipped a beat upon seeing her.

But then she thought she was overreacting, that not every police sighting should remind her of Connor, who should have been transferred to his cell block by that time... right?

As she was contemplating, Jake said, "Officer, what do you mean by that?"

Holly answered, "It means that the child really isn't yours. There's no need to be too heartbroken over it." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Upon hearing this, Melissa frowned. "Without evidence, such accusations shouldn't be made carelessly! Officer, do you realize the impact of rumors and slander can be deadly to a family's reputation?"

Isla seized the chance to lower her head and weep. "Holly, I know you and Keira are good friends. You've been inseparable since middle school, but as a police officer, how can you be so biased! You should be seeking justice for someone like me!"

Hearing this coaxing plea, Holly frowned, and with a cold laugh, she retorted, "Who says I don't have evidence?"

She took out her phone, opened the photo album, and held up a photo for the first branch of the family to see. "Look carefully. This is the record of Isla and Connor checking into a hotel!"

After saying this, she attempted to hand the photo to the reporters.

Isla's pupils constricted.

Hotel check-in records?

Had Connor confessed? No, it couldn't be. It must have been discovered during the police investigation...

She clenched her fists nervously.

Jake was stunned, his disbelieving eyes turning toward Isla.

Even Melissa's gaze sharpened.

Isla swallowed hard. "Jake, listen to me, it's not like that..."

She looked toward Melissa. "Mom, that's a fake, it's surely fabricated!"

She then turned pleadingly toward Poppy.

Poppy was still shocked by Holly's words. Isla and Connor... how could those two be involved with each other?!

No, that wasn't right...

Isla didn't even know Connor's identity, so that's probably why she made this mistake, right?

Suddenly, Poppy felt relieved that the child had been miscarried.

Just as she had this thought, she noticed Isla's pleading gaze. Instantly understanding what was happening, she rushed forward. "Officer Holly, I know you're speaking out for Keira's sake. But we are the ones at fault here..."

She faced the reporters directly. "Friends from the media, I'm the mistress. I didn't intend to break up the Olsen family. Back then, Mr. Olsen and I made a mistake in a moment of drunkenness and then I got pregnant. Being pregnant and unable to find work, I was close to starving when Mrs. Olsen, out of kindness, took me in, and since then I've worked as a nanny in the Olsen family..."

Tears began to flow as she continued. "I've always been grateful for the Olsen's kindness, and for many years, I have kept my distance from Mr. Olsen. Ever since she was small, I've been teaching this ungrateful creature to be aware of her place and not to long for the things she shouldn't have...

Pointing at Keira, she said, "But she's been rebellious since childhood, always trying to compete with Miss Isla, even to the point of competing over men... Such a strong-willed daughter has really given me a headache!

"I know I'm at fault. I didn't raise her well, and now she has started to slander Miss Isla and even collude with the police. She has become so heartless in her actions!

Weeping bitterly, Poppy knelt in front of Isla. "Miss Isla, she really shouldn't have done this. She thought with Mr. Horton's support, she could do whatever she wished, but as her mother, I couldn't just stand by and watch her commit so many wrongs without discipline! I apologize to you on her behalf; I'll bow in her place!"

Poppy said this and then hit her forehead on the ground. With a loud "bang," the sound was very resonant. This action was undoubtedly a confirmation of Keira's guilt! The surrounding journalists were all moved, their gazes shifting toward Keira. "Mrs. Horton, is the truth what your mother has stated?" "Mrs. Horton, have you really been doing whatever you please in the Horton family after marrying Mr. Horton?" "Mrs. Horton, the Olsen family raised you; how could you possibly repay kindness with ingratitude? A person like you is intolerable!" "Mrs. Horton, what goes around comes around. There's a saying that karma cycles, and retribution is certain! One should still have some conscience!" "Regardless of the circumstances, no matter what disputes adults have, children should not be involved! And to even slander them in return... Mrs. Horton, how can you be so shameless?" "..." The pressing questions from the journalists made Keira frown. Poppy had done things like this too often since they were young, and she had become numb to them. Holly, standing nearby, clenched her fists. She looked toward Keira again... Recalling the time in prison when Poppy would beat Keira, she couldn't understand how a mother could hate her own daughter so much. But now, she completely understood. Holly sneered, stepping directly in front of Keira, and with a piercing gaze toward the journalists, she said, "If you still think this hotel check-in proof is fake, I have other evidence!" Poppy immediately scoffed. "You're a police officer; isn't it very easy for you to forge evidence?" Holly sneered. "I might be able to fabricate other things, but what about a recording?" She took out her cell phone and played the recording of the conversation that Keira had with Isla earlier! The few sentences in the recording clearly conveyed that Isla was framing Keira, and the venomous words of Isla also caused the journalists to be deeply disturbed! Everyone, including the first branch of the family and Jake, turned their eyes unanimously towards Isla. Isla's eyes widened. She was certain that she had checked Keira's phone wasn't recording before she said those words. Where did this recording come from? Had Keira been prepared all along? Was Keira plotting against her?!! Isla's pupils contracted, and she couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "Keira, you bitch!" At the same time. Downstairs. After hearing Holly's words, Ellis immediately ran down the stairs to report the situation above. Uncle Olsen's pupils shrank, and without a second word, he charged into the stairwell. He had to help Isla! Lewis, seeing this, quickly followed suit.
