章節 17: 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.

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.
