Isla looked confused, “Who’s Lewis Horton? Is he really important?”

Keira was also curious and listened.

She had some connections in Oceanion, but she had never heard that name.

Taylor said, “It’s normal for you not to know him because he’s a mystery. Even I have never met him. He is Jake Horton’s young uncle. He’s only 28 years old and is now the real power holder in the Horton family!”

Poppy gasped, “Doesn’t that make him a better match for Isla than Jake?”

The one in power is much better than any legitimate grandson of the first branch!

Taylor snapped, “Nonsense, Mr. Horton is married!”

Keira narrowed her eyes.

Married…

If he really was the man in the marriage certificate, then it would seem that Lewis should know what’s going on.

Poppy seemed disappointed, “Who’s his wife? She’s even luckier than Isla.”

Keira quickly looked at Taylor and heard him say, “I don’t know. It’s said that he and his wife aren’t fond of social engagements.”

Taylor frowned in deep thought. “I’m not sure why he suddenly decided to come here today…”

The Horton family is the top family in Oceanion, and the one in control has a very prestigious status.

The Olsen family is just slightly above average in terms of wealth. This marriage was viewed as Isla marrying up. It was impressive enough if the one in power could attend the wedding. Why would he personally show up for the betrothal?

Poppy interrupted. “Isla must be so outstanding that she has caught the Horton family’s attention! Isla, this diamond necklace isn’t grand enough for such important guests. Let’s find something more extravagant!”

She stuffed the printout back into Keira’s hand and anxiously led Isla away to pick out new jewelry.

She seemed to care more about Isla than Mrs. Olsen, Isla’s own mother.
