How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire

Chapter 64: Chapter 64

Mrs. Olsen’s apricot eyes widened slightly in shock when she saw the chat messages on the WhatsApp interface!

Aunt South, not understanding the situation, hurriedly came forward, her brows knitted in concern, and said, “Madam, isn’t Dr. South coming? Miss Keira and Dr. South had a bit of a disagreement, wouldn’t it be inappropriate for them to meet?”

The implication was clear: Keira Olsen should leave immediately.

Aunt South was wholeheartedly devoted to Mrs. Olsen; after watching Mrs. Olsen yearn for her for so many years and yet she never returned home, she felt that Keira Olsen was somewhat cold-hearted and did not deserve Mrs. Olsen’s kindness.

Hence, her tone was quite unfriendly.

But just as she said this, Mrs. Olsen gripped her wrist, “Sister South, Keira is Dr. South!”

Aunt South paused, slightly stunned, “What?”

Her surprise glance towards Keira Olsen was instantly replaced with shock and all her previous opinions and dislike evaporated in an instant!

Isla Olsen glared at Keira Olsen venomously, feeling that she was there to show off today!

Fearing that Mrs. Olsen would probe further, she turned and ran up the stairs.

Mrs. Olsen noticed this behavior and frowned slightly, then gently patted Keira Olsen on the shoulder and complained, “You child… You’ve helped the family so much behind my back, really… Why did you keep it a secret from me?”

Keira Olsen’s face was smiling, but the tip of her nose felt sour, “I’m sorry.”

“What are you sorry for? You have been clever since you were young, but I didn’t expect you to achieve so much in your field,” Mrs. Olsen said, taking her hand and walking towards the sofa. She asked seriously, “Keira, tell me, what exactly is going on with this theft scheme? Did Isla frame you?”

Keira Olsen helped her sit on the sofa and looked down, “It’s just a misunderstanding.”

Mrs. Olsen had not been in good health and had spent the past years focusing on her recovery, not managing the company or the household. She was upright and generous, and had always taught them to do things with a clear conscience.

If she knew her own daughter had framed someone else, she would definitely be heartbroken and upset, ultimately harming her health.

Keira Olsen didn’t want to trouble her and casually changed the subject, “I came today, actually, to ask for your help with something.”

Mrs. Olsen immediately asked, “What is it?”

Keira Olsen hesitated for a moment, “I… have a friend who has received some information that a stock is going to rise soon. She wants me to invest, but my company is about to go public, and I don’t have enough liquid funds to make the investment…”

Mrs. Olsen understood and interrupted her directly, “How much do you need?”

Keira Olsen had always kept an eye on the Olsen family and knew very well how much cash the company and household had. She carefully stated a figure: “Fifteen million.”

She was scheming against Isla Olsen, planning to borrow most of the Olsens’ money, making it impossible for Isla to raise five million for Finley Hill.

Mrs. Olsen pondered for a moment and said, “Between the household and the company, there’s a total of seventeen million three hundred thousand. Here’s what I’ll do, I’ll give you seventeen million. Is that enough?”

A warmth touched Keira’s heart, “That’s enough.”

She hoped that the secret between Isla Olsen and Finley Hill wouldn’t affect Mrs. Olsen.

That way, out of respect for Mrs. Olsen, she might consider helping to cover up for Isla.

But if Isla hurt Mrs. Olsen, she wouldn’t be blamed for meddling and being ruthless!

…

After leaving the Olsen residence, Samuel Morgan drove her back to the hospital.

At that moment, a luxury car had just parked in the car park.

Lewis Horton stepped out of the Bentley, his black suit accentuating his lean figure, adding a sense of abstinence to his otherwise expressionless and handsome face.

Tom Davis turned his head and saw Keira Olsen, hurriedly greeted her, his words carrying a hint of respect he himself didn’t notice, “Miss Olsen, you’re back too!”

Lewis Horton followed his gaze, only to see the normally proud girl now looking down in thought, with a melancholy expression.

Upon hearing Tom Davis’s voice, she turned her head to look, stopped her steps, and seemed to wait for them.

Lewis Horton unconsciously quickened his pace, reaching her side in a few steps, and they walked forward side by side.

He glanced at the girl and noticed her expression unchanged as if she were troubled by something, and took the initiative to ask, “Miss Olsen, are you upset about your mother’s issue?”

Keira Olsen looked at him, “Ah?”

Lewis Horton stared ahead, his voice low and slow, “Actually, some family bonds need not be forced, some people simply don’t deserve to be mothers, and it’s best to just treat them like strangers.”

“…” Keira Olsen opened her mouth as if she wanted to say that wasn’t what she was dwelling on, but seeing the usually reticent man looking serious, she paused slightly.

From the parking lot to the inpatient department, they had to pass a shaded path. The sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting mottled shadows on the man’s face, adding a touch of melancholy to his handsome features.

He just said “them”…

And remembering that the old Mrs. Horton was talkative but had never once mentioned Lewis Horton’s mother… did that mean she and he were in the same boat?

Keira Olsen suddenly gave him a big grin, “You’re right.”

The girl’s smile was unrestrained and infectious, as if all troubles had dissipated with that laugh, lifting Lewis Horton’s spirits considerably.

He awkwardly shifted his gaze away, changing the subject, “Don’t worry, I’ve already instructed the R&D department not to disclose your identity.”

Keira Olsen’s eyes lit up slightly, “Thank you.”

She did not want to reveal her identity yet, to avoid being harassed by many in the industry.

Lewis Horton replied in a mild tone, “You’re welcome.”

Keira Olsen suddenly remembered something, “By the way, when we were at work today, you said you had some news about Samuel Morgan to tell me, what is it?”

Lewis Horton’s expression tensed slightly upon hearing that.

Tom Davis, following behind them, couldn’t help but stop in his tracks, feeling awkward.

He had thought Samuel Morgan was Keira Olsen’s boyfriend, so the boss wanted to warn her that Samuel Morgan was a player, but it turned out Samuel Morgan was Miss Olsen’s subordinate! How to say that now?

As he was pondering, he heard his boss say indifferently, “Yeah, I wanted to say that Samuel Morgan is indeed reliable and hardworking, a good subordinate to have.”

Tom Davis twitched the corners of his mouth.

Keira Olsen’s mind was marked with a question mark: ?

This sounded strangely familiar.

She wanted to ask more, but Lewis Horton’s phone rang, and he breathed a sigh of relief, quickly walking a couple of steps ahead to create some distance and answer the call. Whatever was said on the other end made his complexion darken.

Seeing this, Tom Davis couldn’t help but murmur, “It’s probably about that collaboration with the Allen Family again. I don’t know what got into Frankie Allen, suddenly dragging Jake Horton into the project, and even specifying that Jake should handle the details of future collaborations…”

He went on to say, “Originally, today’s incident made Jake Horton lose face, but now he’s perked up again, even more arrogant than before, and I don’t know how he got involved with the Allen Family…”

While talking, the three of them turned into the inpatient department.

Keira Olsen was just about to head to the third floor when she suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.

Rebecca Allen and a middle-aged couple were sitting in the lobby, seemingly waiting for someone, and stood up when they saw her, brightly exclaiming, “My savior!”
