How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire

Chapter 62: Chapter 62

Tom Davis still looked somewhat bewildered, his mind reeling from the shock.

He didn’t understand research, but he did recognize Dr. South’s significance to the development team.

He was holding his cellphone, looking at a post that had just gone up on the company’s intranet.

Indeed, the tide had turned!

Those who had been criticizing Lewis Horton for favoring the beautiful intern were now changing their tune:

——Shock! Dr. South is actually the beautiful intern?

——So, it was Mr. Horton who invited Dr. South to the company, not Vice President Jake Horton at all?

——Still talking about the Vice President? Isn’t he embarrassed? It seems like his promotion to Vice President was because he recommended Dr. South for technical support in the company, right?

——He could only get technical support, but Mr. Horton has already invited the person to the company! Compare the two… Suddenly, I find Mr. Horton so mysterious and impressive!

——Ah, just went to ask Group One in R&D, Dr. South has already left, sob sob sob, why did Vice President Horton do that? If he hadn’t slandered the beautiful intern, maybe Dr. South would have continued to help the company anonymously, right?

…

Tom Davis was very pleased, and wished he could offer Keira Olsen his knees in gratitude!

It wasn’t until he heard Lewis Horton’s voice that Tom Davis hurriedly put down his phone and respectfully asked, “Boss, you’re making sense. After all, which mother would treat her own child so poorly? To throw someone out and neglect them starting from junior high…”

Before he could finish, Lewis Horton’s expression darkened, and his voice became as cold as frost, “It’s not unheard of.”

Tom Davis: !!

He suddenly realized he had said the wrong thing!

Because the boss’s mother was exactly like that…

He quickly changed the subject: “Boss, you also have a meeting arranged with Mr. Allen about a project.”

“Mm.”

Lewis Horton didn’t continue the previous topic and prepared to take Tom Davis to the top floor.

At the elevator entrance, Isla Olsen was desperately clinging to Jake Horton’s arm, pleading, “Jake, I really don’t understand what happened, Keira Olsen must have deliberately hidden her identity to play me…”

Jake Horton pushed away her grasp, saying with disgust, “Isla, she’s not that kind of person. We were classmates for four years, I understand her. I guess Dr. South never agreed to become a technical advisor for Horton Group, did she?”

Isla Olsen was taken aback.

Jake Horton said angrily, “Proposing to you in the first place was a mistake…”

Isla Olsen called out in panic, “Jake!”

But Jake Horton continued, “Tomorrow, I will come to your house to call off the engagement.”

Isla Olsen clenched her fists tightly.

At that moment, the elevator door chimed open, and Frankie Allen walked out briskly with his secretary.

Seeing him, Jake Horton’s expression changed, “Mr. Allen?”

The refined and gentle Frankie Allen paused in his step.

Jake Horton smiled and said, “I’m Jake Horton. I heard from my uncle that our families are going to collaborate.”

Frankie Allen nodded slightly, his demeanor polite but distant, “So you’re young Mr. Horton, I’m here to see Mr. Horton for business.”

The words made Jake Horton awkwardly step aside, “Then please…”

Suddenly, a voice of surprise rang out:

“You… are Frankie Allen?”

Both men turned to see Isla Olsen looking astonished.

She hadn’t expected that the brother of the girl from the hospital would be Frankie Allen?!

Frankie Allen had little recollection of her, asking politely, “Who might you be?”

His demeanor seemed approachable, yet his words maintained a certain distance.

Isla Olsen’s gaze flickered, and she smiled, “Mr. Allen, have you forgotten me? Oceanion First Hospital, your sister, the telephone…”

Frankie Allen froze, “You’re the person who called… my savior?”

Isla Olsen smiled, hooking her arm through Jake Horton’s and said by way of introduction, “Mr. Allen, this is my fiancé.”

Frankie Allen then looked again at Jake Horton with a serious gaze, “Young Mr. Horton, what a coincidence.”

After a glance at Isla Olsen, he suddenly said, “I have business with Mr. Horton. Would young Mr. Horton care to join?”

Frankie Allen, of course, knew the situation of the first branch of the Horton family, and initially had no intention of getting entangled with them.

However, if Jake Horton was the fiancé of his sister’s savior, he couldn’t ignore the obligation to help.

After all, the Allen Family owed the savior a life!

Jake Horton was surprised and delighted.

Without Dr. South’s connections, his position in the R&D department had been very awkward.

But the Allen Family was a famous and powerful clan in the capital, and with Frankie Allen personally inviting him to partake in the cooperation between the two groups, his status in the company was about to soar!

He glanced at Isla Olsen and, with a meaningful pat on her hand, said, “Isla, I’ve got to get busy now, but I’ll accompany you to buy the engagement ring tomorrow.”

Isla Olsen let out a sigh of relief, “Okay.”

She was determined to marry Jake Horton!

After Frankie Allen walked away, he suddenly took out his cell phone, found the number of his rescuer saved earlier, and sent her a message: “Miss Olsen, when are you free? My sister and I would like to invite you and your fiancé for a simple meal.”

…

When Kiera Olsen’s phone rang, she was being stopped for a chat by the vice-chancellor and the dean of Oceanion University in the lobby downstairs.

She picked it up and glanced at it, recognizing the number that had sent the message.

With her keen memory for numbers, she quickly remembered that this was the brother of “Rebecca.”

Kiera Olsen also wanted to know the follow-up to that day’s event, so she replied: “Weekend is good.”

After sending the message, she realized something was wrong. Where did she get a fiancé from?

“Dr. South, you’re also a graduate of Oceanion University, so you should understand our teaching philosophy. We sincerely invite you to return to teach…”

The vice-chancellor of Oceanion University was very sincere: “I hope you will consider it.”

Kiera Olsen looked up, tired of pretending, and said bluntly, “I was actually planning to accept your invitation, seeing as I was nurtured by Professor Miller, but now that he has been suspended and I’ve heard his graduate students are being treated unjustly.”

The dean’s expression stiffened: “Dr. South, this is all a misunderstanding… I had no idea you were Dr. South…”

The vice-chancellor immediately cut him off: “Shut up! Even if she were an ordinary student, she shouldn’t have been expelled without being found guilty! Dr. South, we will definitely deal with the relevant parties strictly. As for Professor Miller… He has been with the university for many years and has cultivated so much talent for us. I think he is very suitable for the position of Dean of the New Energy Science Institute. What do you think?”

Kiera Olsen was very pleased!

She quickly reached an agreement with the vice-chancellor.

When Isla Olsen arrived downstairs, she saw just such a scene of amiable conversation.

She clenched her fists tightly.

Seeing how respectfully the vice-chancellor treated Dr. South, a deep jealousy surged within her!!

After the conversation, the vice-chancellor and the dean left.

Samuel Morgan had gone to get the car, and Kiera Olsen waited at the entrance.

Isla Olsen quickly walked over, unable to hide the spite and disgust on her face: “Kiera Olsen, do you know why I hate you?”

Kiera Olsen didn’t bother with her.

But Isla Olsen continued: “Aunt Hill told me your computer password is my mom’s birthday?”

Kiera Olsen’s gaze slowly fell.

So Poppy Hill knew her so well that she could easily hack into her computer.

Isla Olsen stepped forward, her voice accusatory and venomous: “Don’t you have a mother of your own? Why use my mom’s birthday for your password? You think I don’t see through your little scheme for my mom? Coveting someone else’s mother, how disgusting can you get?”

She spat out each word: “And do you fantasize about taking my place? Ridiculous! My mom will always be mine, nothing to do with you! Get over your delusions!!”

Kiera Olsen stood dazed, a rush of panic unexpectedly overwhelming her.

The dark thoughts hidden within her were exposed, and for a moment, she felt utterly humiliated.

…

Kiera Olsen sat in Samuel Morgan’s sports car, the cold wind tousling her hair, but unable to disperse her thoughts.

She had always envied Isla Olsen for having such a gentle and kind mother.

As a child, she had dreamed countless times of being Isla Olsen, with Mrs. Olsen brushing her hair, telling her stories, cuddling in Mrs. Olsen’s embrace, longing for her tenderness…

She carefully restrained, suppressed her fondness for Mrs. Olsen, never meeting her again after leaving the Olsen Family, but like a creep, she set up these passwords.

As the roadside scenery gradually receded, she gave a bitter smile, picked up her phone, opened the password change settings, and typed in a new password: 1234.

When the screen showed that the change was successful, she felt an empty space in her heart.

She shouldn’t aspire to Mrs. Olsen’s motherly love, much less disturb her life…

Her eyes felt a bit sore.

Kiera Olsen slightly tilted her head back, hiding the dampness at the corners of her eyes.

At that moment, Samuel Morgan’s cell phone rang.

He answered it, and a voice came from the other side: “Samuel, I’ve found the secret about her uncle, Finley Hill, that the boss asked us to investigate!”
