How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire

Chapter 27: Chapter 27

Tom Davis’s voice came through the phone, “The boss asked me to ask Miss Isla Olsen when he said he wanted Miss Keira Olsen to disappear from Oceanion? How come the boss himself doesn’t know?”

Taylor Olsen’s face went blank, disbelievingly looking towards Isla.

Isla’s face instantly turned pale.

Taylor Olsen gave Tom Davis many apologetic smiles, and finally, with a remark, “The Olsen Family really should teach their daughter a lesson,” he ended the call and then glared at Isla.

Isla lowered her head and silently cried, “When I saw Keira clinging to Mr. Horton, I was afraid that it would affect my marriage with Jake, and even more afraid that the Hortons would look down on me… Dad, I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Taylor roared, “But that does not justify pretending to act under Mr. Horton’s orders!”

...

Isla clenched her fists, her eyes flickered, and she sobbed, “Dad, after all, Keira is your daughter too, I feared you wouldn’t bear to scold her…”

“Foolish!!”

True to form, Taylor changed the subject, “How many times have I said that in my heart, there is only one daughter, and it’s you! What is Keira Olsen? Can she even compare to you?!”

Mrs. Olsen disagreed, “Taylor, don’t say that, Keira is still your daughter!”

Taylor immediately turned his head, “Shirley, after so many years, do you still not understand me? Being tricked by Poppy Hill was my fault, I owe you and our family, but I will not recognize her or her daughter! In my heart, there are only you and our daughter, who are my true family.”

Standing by as a nanny, Poppy Hill, upon hearing this, immediately clenched her fists in resentment!

She looked at Taylor with bitter eyes.

This was the man she dearly loved, her childhood friend from next door, yet this man’s heart and eyes were fixed only on Jodie South!

Back then, when she was pregnant, she went to him with the pregnancy test, offering to be his mistress, but he mercilessly sent her away, saying he would not be unfaithful to his wife…

Poppy Hill had no other choice but to find Jodie South, and it was only through threats of death that she managed to stay in the Olsen family.

Over the years, Taylor had never shown her any affection, and he treated Keira as if she were air…

Fortunately… she had switched the two children!

Poppy Hill lowered her head, suppressing a smile at the bottom of her eyes.

Taylor would never know that his beloved daughter whom he had cherished for so many years, Isla, was actually her daughter!

As for Keira Olsen… she deserved to be ignored and oppressed!

Yet, Mrs. Olsen stubbornly shook her head, “Taylor, Isla is wrong, and that’s that. She lied first, causing us to misunderstand Keira. We should apologize to Keira.”

Taylor frowned, “Apologize for what? You and my daughter, going to apologize to the daughter of Poppy Hill?”

Poppy Hill also immediately said, “No need, no need, the Olsen family raised her, that is a great favor. Besides, her shameless entanglement with Mr. Horton was indeed wrongful; the Olsen family disciplining her is only right and her good fortune…”

Mrs. Olsen looked at them, sighed softly, but did not argue further.

But after dinner, when Isla was escorting her back to her room, Mrs. Olsen looked at her, “If you have time tomorrow, I’ll take you to see Keira and apologize in person.”

Isla’s face stiffened, surprised that she dodged her father’s punishment but not Mrs. Olsen’s… She said in distress, “Okay.”

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Olsen sighed again, “Aren’t you planning to meet Dr. South with Jake tomorrow? Let’s do it together.”

Isla’s eyes suddenly lit up, she clung to Mrs. Olsen’s arm, “Okay, mom, you are always so good to me.”

Because she offended old Mrs. Horton, she lost two percent of the shares in Horton Group.

She now needed to prove her worth in front of the Hortons, fearing that Jake would call off their engagement.

Mrs. Olsen helplessly patted her head.

After Isla left happily, Mrs. Olsen then turned to Aunt South, “Sister South, I have been unwell for years and lacked the energy to discipline Isla, truly neglectful… cough, cough, cough…”

But Aunt South said, “Madam, you are overthinking it! I find Miss Isla very good, dutiful and considerate. Even if she lies occasionally, she will change, it’s not such a flaw.”

However, Mrs. Olsen said, “Keira never lies.”

She coughed violently again.

Aunt South immediately helped her to the bed, “You think too much… that’s why even after so many years, this illness hasn’t healed…”

Mrs. Olsen’s eyes and eyebrows showed bitterness.

…

The next day.

From the moment Keira Olsen woke up in the morning, she felt somewhat nervous. It had been ten years since she last met Mrs. Olsen, and she didn’t know whether her mother would be happy or angry to see her.

At noon, she decided to go home, take a shower, and change her clothes.

The old lady had Lewis Horton drive her home.

As they left the hospital room and just went downstairs, they saw Tom Davis coming toward them: “Boss.”

Lewis Horton nodded slightly at him, and Tom Davis then handed a piece of paper to Keira Olsen: “Miss Olsen, you can take a look.”

Keira Olsen, puzzled, took it and discovered that the paper listed a row of well-known domestic universities and famous professors in the field of new energy!

She looked at Tom Davis with confusion, “What is this?”

Tom Davis lifted his chin slightly: “These are professors who are even more renowned than Professor Miller. You can choose one to continue your studies; it’s the boss’s compensation for cancelling your assured graduate placement, Miss Olsen. Meeting our boss, you could consider this a blessing in disguise.”

Keira Olsen twitched the corner of her mouth: “No need.”

She had heard of most of these professors, all of whom had already sent her emails wanting to consult with her on professional knowledge.

“So you want to continue with Professor Miller’s graduate studies?”

“No.”

“If you don’t think highly of these people, then you want to be Dr. South’s graduate student?”

Tom Davis frowned, “That’s a bit difficult. Dr. South is now highly sought-after; I’ve heard that several universities abroad have offered him positions. Miss Olsen, such a genius professor would only recruit genius students. You might not catch his eye. Maybe you shouldn’t set your sights so high and your capabilities so low. Just choose one from these professors for now; after graduate school, you can still try to apply for Dr. South’s PhD program, right?”

…

Keira Olsen looked at him as if he were a fool and directly told Lewis Horton, “Mr. Horton, you don’t need to drive me. I’ll take a taxi back.”

After saying this, she directly left the hospital and hailed a taxi by the roadside to leave.

Tom Davis scratched his head, “I heard that Isla Olsen wants to be Dr. South’s graduate student. Does Miss Olsen not want to be outdone by her? Insisting on Dr. South? That’s really overestimating herself.”

However, Lewis Horton stared in the direction she left, his handsome and resolute face expressionless, his deep eyes unfathomable, giving no clue to his thoughts.

He suddenly said, “Then let’s help her get in touch with Dr. South.”

“What?” Tom Davis was dumbfounded.

Why is the boss so good to her!

Could he be mesmerized by her face?

…

Mrs. Olsen, along with Isla Olsen and Jake Horton, arrived at the private dining restaurant ten minutes early.

After getting out of the car, Jake Horton furrowed his brow and surveyed the surroundings: “Why meet here?”

Isla Olsen didn’t understand: “Jake, what’s wrong?”

Jake Horton pursed his lips: “Nothing.” @@novelbin@@

Isla Olsen then looked towards Mrs. Olsen, “Mom, has Dr. South arrived yet?”

Mrs. Olsen: “She is already in the private room.”
