How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire

“It’s solved! It’s really solved!”

Luca Barker yelled excitedly, “She actually solved it!”

Jalen Riley froze slightly and then frowned, “What madness are you spouting?!”

The other team members looked at him impatiently:

“Luca, what are you doing?”

“What’s with you this afternoon? We were all busy in the lab, and you were nowhere to be seen. What have you solved?”

“You didn’t solve our core problem, did you?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Luca immediately nodded: “Yes, that’s exactly what I solved!”

He dragged Jalen Riley over to his workstation, pointed at the computer, and showed him, “Team leader, look! The reason we’ve been stuck is because we were thinking about it all wrong. We could actually do it like this…”

He roughly explained the solution he had just understood, and by the time he finished, the entire team was shocked:

“So it can be done like this!”

“Luca, man, that’s awesome!”

“Hahaha, the team leader doesn’t have to resign in shame now!”

“…”

While everyone was in awe, Jalen Riley stared at the computer and suddenly noticed the email was sent by Keira Olsen…

He was slightly taken aback, looking incredulously at Luca, “This solution is…?”

“It was submitted by our junior, Keira Olsen! She gave it to me last Friday, but at the time we had already finished for the day, and I hadn’t had a chance to check!”

As soon as Luca said this, all the team members turned to look at Keira Olsen in disbelief!!

How could it be!

The problem they had been wrestling with for a month had been effortlessly cracked by this young girl in front of them?!

Last Friday… she had just started her job!

Keira Olsen stood there quietly, radiating an air of distant coolness.

A hint of surprise in her amorous eyes, she said indifferently, “So the problem you’ve all been struggling with is this one?”

Everyone: ??

Why did they read the words “that’s it?” in the girl’s current expression?

Everyone involuntarily swallowed, still in disbelief, “You, you’re just an undergraduate, right?”

Hearing this, Keira Olsen’s expression turned serious, and she said slowly, “Ability is not determined by academic qualifications.”

At that moment, everyone began to show their respect.

After a brief silence, someone spoke up, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have treated you that way in the elevator!”

“I was wrong too. I shouldn’t have said you were getting a salary for nothing. You alone have done the work of our whole team.”

“I even suggested you learn from me, which was really overestimating myself. With your skills, you definitely won’t learn anything from us…”

“We were blind to see someone so low!…”

They were all researchers, with straightforward minds.

Keira Olsen clearly distinguished between good and bad, knowing that their previous words about her were out of a desire to see her succeed.

So she said indifferently, “It’s okay.”

Jalen Riley walked slowly towards her, the man still proud, his jaw set, extending his hand towards her, “Welcome to Team One.”

Before, she was merely someone foisted upon the team due to her connections, but now, he acknowledged her abilities.

“Clap, clap, clap!”

Suddenly, there was applause from the doorway.

Turning their heads, they saw the R&D department manager and the stern-faced Jake Horton walking in.

The R&D department manager praised, “Young people these days really shouldn’t be underestimated! I never would have imagined Miss Olsen’s professional competence could be so strong!”

Jake Horton stared at Kiera, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

He of course knew Kiera’s talent in her professional field, and his fondness for her over so many years wasn’t solely because of her face, but he hadn’t expected she could actually solve a team’s core technical issue!

Such a talent, given the opportunity for advanced study, could definitely soar to great heights!

Her future achievements might not be weaker than Dr. South’s…@@novelbin@@

But that was in the future, and for the short term, Dr. South was an existence she couldn’t hope to reach!

Jake Horton clenched his fists, his gaze gradually becoming resolute.

He urgently needed to take control of the R&D department, to secure a foothold at Horton Group; he couldn’t wait for her to grow up.

Moreover, she was an “illegitimate daughter”…

Neither in terms of identity nor capability could he possibly marry her.

Suppressing the hesitation in his heart, he glared at Jalen Riley with a sinister look, “I was actually thinking that if Team Leader Riley couldn’t complete the task on time, I might ask Dr. South for help, to come and explain things to your team…”

The members of team one instantly widened their eyes.

“My goodness, Dr. South!”

“In my lifetime, if I could receive guidance from Dr. South, or work with Dr. South, that would be my ultimate dream!”

“Ahhh, if I could meet Dr. South, I’d rather stay single my whole life!”

“…”

Jalen Riley listened to everyone’s reactions, his expression stiff as he said, “We won’t trouble Dr. South over such a small issue.”

However, Jake Horton insisted, “Dr. South is our technical support after all, it’s only proper that he lend a hand.”

Kiera frowned slightly upon hearing this.

She had clearly refused Isla Olsen, so how had she become Horton Group’s technical support?

Seeing the certainty in Jake’s expression, Kiera was sure it was another one of Isla Olsen’s lies!

Jake Horton then narrowed his eyes, continuing, “Team Leader Riley, actually, I just wanted to get a technically skilled assistant, which was why I thought of adjusting Kiera’s position. You and I are both mainstays of the R&D department, there’s no need for such a rift between us. If you agree, I’ll immediately arrange for Dr. South to come and provide technical support for your team.”

He purposely said this, just to let the members of team one know that as long as they handed over Kiera, he could let them access Dr. South!

The attraction of Dr. South was too great for these research personnel.

The members of team one would surely oppose Jalen Riley’s decision…

Kiera’s expression darkened, finding Jake utterly despicable.

She looked toward the members of team one, seeing that each of them had changed their expression, quite clearly understanding the meaning behind Jake’s words…

They looked at each other, each one’s face showing a conflicted expression.

Kiera’s eyes dimmed.

Actually, she had just started working here, and although team one’s members had shown her kindness last week, they had only just met a day and a half ago…

Jake, seeing the expression of team one’s members, knew his scheme had taken effect and added, “Team Leader Riley, do you agree to let her go now? Having Kiera work under me will ensure her future prospects are even better…”

Jalen Riley’s face darkened, and he stated decisively, “I won’t let her go.”

Kiera’s eyelids twitched slightly in surprise.

Jake scoffed, “Our company has always been very democratic. The affairs of team one can’t be dictated by one person alone. Do you refuse to release her? Do the rest of the members of team one agree with you? Does team one really not need Dr. South?”

After these words, the members of team one all fell silent.

Jalen Riley straightened his body, angrily looking toward the team one members.

Kiera suddenly laughed.

She hadn’t wanted to reveal her identity to avoid people clinging to her, but now she didn’t want to inexplicably test human nature…

She looked directly at Jake Horton and said coldly, “You’re using Dr. South as a bargaining chip, did you ask for my consent?”
