How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire

Chapter 69: Chapter 69

Upon hearing about the announcement, Keira Olsen hurriedly said, “Maybe the announcement isn’t necessary… ”

“It is necessary,” the officer smiled. “We need to promote such good deeds so more people will do them. It’s also a task from our publicity department.”

Keira Olsen reluctantly agreed, “Alright then.”

As they reached the entrance, they ran into Frankie Allen and Isla Olsen.

They were registering and had just explained their business when the reception officer saw the people with Keira Olsen and called out, “Officer Cohen, these two are also here for the Rebecca Allen murder case. You can take them in.”

Upon hearing this, Frankie Allen and Isla Olsen instinctively turned back.

Seeing Keira Olsen, Isla Olsen’s pupils constricted.

Frankie Allen caught something and furrowed his brow in thought: Also?

This woman, she also came because of his sister’s case?

Keira Olsen merely glanced at them before diverting her gaze, uninterested in any dispute with these people, and walked outside.

Officer Cohen then said, “Please wait a moment, I’ll escort this colleague to the door and then I’ll come and take you in.”

Frankie Allen nodded, then his gaze deepened as he looked to Isla Olsen and asked, “Was this Miss present when the incident with my sister happened?”

Jake Horton also looked directly at Isla Olsen.

He knew how Isla Olsen and Frankie Allen had met, but if Keira Olsen had also saved Rebecca Allen, how could he then draw Frankie Allen to his side?

Isla Olsen’s gaze grew colder, and she suddenly let out a bitter laugh. “Mr. Allen, that’s my sister. Indeed she was with me at the time… Miss Allen initially sought her help, but my sister is quite cold; she didn’t mean to refuse Miss Allen intentionally; Jake, you know how she is.”

Jake Horton frowned. “She is indeed cold-hearted and dislikes socializing.”

Isla Olsen sighed. “She even stopped me from calling you, saying lovers should all go die… ”

Realizing what she just said, she hurriedly covered her mouth, “Mr. Allen, please don’t be angry, I think Miss Allen didn’t take it to heart… ”

But Frankie Allen’s expression had already turned dark as water.

He remembered that after he had rescued Rebecca and she had come to after the surgery, her first words upon seeing him were, “Brother, should somebody as foolish as I am not deserve to live?”

He had thought then that his sister was troubled by romantic woes, but it turned out she was upset because someone else had insulted her?!

Jake Horton couldn’t help but furrow his brow. “She is certainly rational, with so many pursuing her in university, she never agreed; such a person might never be moved by someone else in their entire life! In her eyes, maybe love is just a synonym for foolishness!”

He clenched his fists.

So, did she see him in the same way?

Jake Horton felt a tightness in his chest and suddenly turned to Isla Olsen, “You go ahead and give your statements, I won’t go in. I’ll wait outside for you.”

Leaving these words, he chased after the door.

Frankie Allen’s gaze lingered on his retreating figure, thoughtful.

Isla Olsen casually asked as if it were an afterthought: “Mr. Allen, when do you plan to return to Clance? How is your sister doing? The hospitals in Clance should be better than the ones in Oceanion, right?”

Frankie Allen withdrew his gaze, responding indifferently, “Yes, I’ll be signing the contract today and in the next couple of days I will take Rebecca to Clance for recuperation, so we won’t trouble Miss Olsen here in Oceanion anymore.”

Miss Olsen had a strong motive, and Frankie Allen wished Rebecca could be as far from her as possible.

Isla Olsen silently sighed with relief.

She just feared that if Frankie Allen stayed in Oceanion too long and learned the truth, it would be best if he left soon.

Outside the police station.

Keira Olsen stood by the roadside, waiting for a rideshare car.

The light dimmed suddenly beside her, and Jake Horton’s voice came through, “Keira, I didn’t expect you to be Dr. South, but do you think starting a business is easy without a solid backing? In business, connections matter more than abilities, which come second.”

Keira Olsen gave him a cold glance, but said nothing.

Jake felt a stifling pressure in his chest.

In college, she had always been indifferent to others, except to him. He never thought that one day, her coldness would be directed towards him.

He became angry out of embarrassment, “Keira Olsen, you are too cold-hearted, always so indifferent to others, no wonder you missed such a great opportunity!”

Keira was baffled by his words—what opportunity had she missed?

At that moment, the car arrived.

She ignored Jake’s entanglement and got into the car and left.

Jake watched her leave, knowing he had completely lost her!

But he had no regrets!

Even after knowing she was Dr. South, he had no regrets because he couldn’t possibly marry an illegitimate daughter!

After hypnotizing himself for a long time, Jake finally calmed down.

Isla Olsen and Frankie Allen just finished giving their statements at the police station and Jake immediately went to meet them.

Frankie’s voice was bland, “I’m sorry for delaying Miss Olsen and Mr. Horton’s date.”

Isla laughed, “Don’t mention it, it’s all part of what I should do. Where are you heading now, Mr. Allen?”

Frankie looked at the time, “I have a meeting scheduled with Mr. Horton to sign some documents today, and once the contract is signed, our collaboration will be official.”

Upon hearing this, Jake instantly said, “It’s a pity I’m not yet in a higher position, otherwise, it would have been me signing the contract with Mr. Allen today!”

Frankie’s gaze darkened momentarily, then Isla chuckled, “Hasn’t Jake been promoted yet? Being a vice-president and negotiating with Mr. Allen must be quite inconvenient.”

Jake said, “My uncle mentioned promoting me after the contract is signed, but he has a lot on his plate. I’m worried he might forget.”

Isla turned to Frankie, “Mr. Allen, could you please remind Mr. Horton about this during the signing?”

Frankie pursed his lips.

They were both old foxes in the business world, how could he not understand the underlying message?

In this collaboration, Jake actually hadn’t done anything. He forcefully involved Jake in this project, knowing that gradually, the position of a department head was inevitable for him.

But Jake couldn’t wait and even wanted to climb higher at his expense!

Frankie took a deep breath and looked at Isla deeply, “Alright.”

After parting ways with them, Frankie headed to Horton Group.

The collaboration was a major event for the group, thus the contract signing was very formal.

In a large conference room, they sat across from each other at the table.

Lewis Horton signed the document in front of him and handed it to Frankie, then noticed that Frankie’s copy was yet unsigned.

Lewis narrowed his eyes, his presence turning cold, “Does Mr. Allen have any concerns about the contract?”

“There’s no issue with the contract,” Frankie spoke calmly, “but it was agreed that young Mr. Horton would handle this project, yet his position is still just a vice-president?”

Lewis’s expression became icy, “Is Mr. Allen trying to interfere with Horton Group’s appointments?”

“I wouldn’t dare, but I get along well with young Mr. Horton and I hope Mr. Horton would grant me this favor.”

Frankie posed as if he wouldn’t sign the contract unless he agreed.
