Isla Olsen had barely recovered from the shock of witnessing Rebecca's attack when her phone buzzed with a call from the police station. As a witness to the entire incident, she knew this was her chance to play the hero — or at least, to make Frankie Allen indebted to her. When she discovered that Rebecca's brother was no ordinary man, her heart raced with opportunistic delight. She cooperated eagerly, providing her statement without a hint of hesitation. After all, testifying for Rebecca meant another favor owed by Frankie, and that could only work in her favor.
But just as a smug smile crept across her face, her phone rang again. She glanced at the caller ID and her blood ran cold. *Finley Hill.* The name alone made her stomach twist into knots. She wanted to hang up, but fear paralyzed her. Finally, with trembling fingers, she answered. “What?”
“Dear niece, you have to help me!” Finley's voice was desperate, almost frantic. “If I can’t pay back the money this time, I’ll be beaten to death!”
Isla's jaw clenched. “How much?”
“Five million.”
“*How much?!*” Her voice shot up, disbelief burning through her veins. Five million? The Olsen family was wealthy, yes, but their cash reserves barely scraped a few million. The company's working capital didn't even reach twenty million. She had thought the two million she gave him last time would keep him quiet for a while. But it had only been a few days, and now he wanted five million more?
Finley wasn't 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. The threat hung in the air like a guillotine blade.
“You have two days,” Finley snarled. “If the money isn’t in my account by then, don’t blame me for revealing your and Keira’s origins. After all, a man’s life is the most important, right?”
The line went dead. Isla screamed in frustration and hurled her phone to the ground.
She had no choice. To scrape together five million, she would have to ask her family for help. But that meant facing Mrs. Olsen, who had been cold toward her ever since the email incident. Isla's heart pounded as she made her way to her mother's room.
Through the door, she heard Mrs. Olsen asking, “Where is Poppy Hill? She seems to have disappeared for a few days.”
Taylor's dismissive voice followed. “Who cares? Maybe she went back to her brother’s place. She’d better not come back. I get annoyed every time I see her.”
Isla's eyes flickered. She took a deep breath, composed herself, and stepped in with red-rimmed eyes. “Mom, Dad.”
Mrs. Olsen hesitated, then sat back down on the sofa. Taylor frowned. “Isla, did you upset your mother?”
Tears streamed down Isla's face, each one carefully timed. “Mom, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have framed Keira. I was just… jealous of the attention you gave her.” She choked on her words. “Keira is so capable now. She’s Dr. South, she can arrange hospital rooms for you. But I’m not as good as her. I was scared your love for her would surpass your love for me… When we studied together, classmates teased me. They said my parents were getting a divorce, that you were buying clothes and food for her. They said you didn’t want me anymore…”
Mrs. Olsen's expression softened. She stepped closer and sighed. “How can you be so narrow-minded? Keira kept her distance because she knew this. She hasn’t come home in years. I won’t love her more than you. Stop thinking too much!”
Isla sobbed through a trembling smile. “Really?”
“You’re all grown up. How can I lie to you?”
“Then tell me you love me the most.”
Mrs. Olsen chuckled in resignation. “Okay, I love you the most.”
For a moment, Isla's smile was genuine. But then Mrs. Olsen added, “You should stop seeing Keira as your imagined enemy.”
The smile faltered. A shadow crossed Isla's eyes. She lowered her head. “I won’t anymore.”
After placating her mother, Isla finally broached the real reason for her visit. “Mom, I’m going to buy a wedding ring with Jake today. I thought I should buy a gift for him too.”
Mrs. Olsen nodded approvingly. “Good. We shouldn’t take advantage of him.”
Isla's heart raced. She lived at home, had a job now with a monthly allowance of 300,000. Surely her mother assumed she had millions saved up. But Isla gritted her teeth. She had to be blunt. “Actually… after I got together with Jake, my expenses increased. I’m a bit short of cash right now.”
Mrs. Olsen's brow furrowed. “I still have over three hundred thousand here. I’ll transfer it to you.”
Isla felt like the ground had fallen away. “Only over three hundred thousand?”
“Yes, I lent my money to Keira. She wanted to buy some stocks…”
Before Isla could protest, Taylor interrupted. “Buying stocks? The stock market is terrible now. Who would join at this time? It’s utter nonsense! What if we lose that money?”
Mrs. Olsen waved him off. “A friend gave her a tip. We won’t lose money. And even if we do, consider it a gift. 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, unconvinced. But Isla felt a surge of panic. She couldn't get five million in a short time. Not like this.
She walked downstairs in a daze, getting into Jake Horton's car. Jake seemed lively. “Isla, my father was thrilled to hear you saved Mr. Allen’s sister. He transferred some money and asked me to buy you nice jewelry! As a gift from him!”
Isla's eyes flickered with guilt. “Let’s go to the police station first. They need me to make a record for Mr. Allen’s sister’s case.”
Jake smiled. “Sure, I’ll drop you off.”
In the parking lot, they ran into Frankie Allen. Seeing Isla, he understood why she was there. Thinking of her coming to testify, his resentment softened. “Miss Olsen, thank you for making this trip.”
Isla smiled. “No problem.”
They were about to enter when they ran into Keira, who was just coming out. She had already recounted the events of that day from start to finish, confirmed the statement, and signed it. The police officer walking her out said, “Miss Olsen, you decided on the spot to save someone. We’ve decided to commend you orally. We’re preparing a public announcement…”
And so the stage was set — a meeting of lies, debts, and hidden truths.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
This chapter is a masterclass in tension and emotional manipulation. Isla's desperation is palpable, and her acting skills are both impressive and infuriating. The way she plays her mother’s heartstrings while hiding her own sinister motives is chilling. Meanwhile, Keira's quiet competence and moral clarity shine through like a lighthouse in a storm. The cliffhanger of Frankie, Isla, and Keira meeting at the police station promises explosive drama. I felt a mix of sympathy and disgust for Isla — she's trapped in a web of her own making, but she's also a dangerous snake. The pacing is tight, the dialogue sharp, and the stakes higher than ever.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
With Isla's money crisis looming and Keira being publicly commended, the tension is about to snap. I predict that next chapter will bring a confrontation — perhaps Frankie will sense something off about Isla's testimony, or Keira will uncover the truth about Finley Hill's threats. The meeting in the parking lot was a powder keg; one spark, and the whole house of cards will come crashing down. Will Isla's lies finally unravel? And how will Jake react when he learns the truth about his fiancée?
