How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire

Chapter 80: Chapter 80

“`

Frankie Allen came today to discipline Isla Olsen, so he brought many bodyguards, all of whom had fierce expressions. As they entered, they blocked the way, looking very menacing.

Isla Olsen, sitting on the sofa, was terrified. Her little face was pale, and not even daring to cry, her tears hung in her eyes, threatening to fall.

Taylor Olsen had never seen such a display and was tightly protecting Mrs. Olsen, his face showing a few hints of panic.

However, the very Mrs. Olsen he was protecting, who usually appeared the most delicate and was also in ill health, was the most composed at that moment. She furrowed her brows at the people in front of her, not revealing a trace of panic from beginning to end.

And after Mr. Allen called out her name, Mrs. Olsen looked toward Mr. Allen with a slight stun, hesitating for a while before speaking, “Mr. Allen?”

Mr. Allen nodded, “Yes, it’s me.”

He furrowed his brows as he sized up his surroundings. The Olsen Family’s background was nowhere near worthy of his attention, so after a moment’s hesitation, he said, “Back in the day, when you and your sisters shone brightly in Clance, suitors were countless. How could you end up marrying into…”

The words “such a family” were left unsaid, but his expression made them clear.

Taylor Olsen’s face changed slightly, showing a trace of anger.

But Jodie South, lowering her head and coughing twice, shifted the topic, “Mr. Allen, have you come to our home for?”

Frankie Allen said in anger, “It’s to demand an explanation from Miss Isla!”

Mr. Allen immediately reminded him, “Frankie, Miss South is also considered one of your elders. Speak with respect.”

Frankie Allen choked and could only calmly relay the events.

When Jodie South heard that Isla had not only failed to offer a helping hand to a girl in distress but had also spoken maliciously and kicked her when she was down, her expression darkened, and her gentle eyes instantly turned sharp.

Furthermore, upon hearing that she had disguised herself as Keira Olsen and taken credit for achievements she didn’t deserve, she clenched her fists tightly, shaking slightly with anger. Her coughing, which had been suppressed by medication, became uncontrollable.

She covered her chest and began to cough violently.

Taylor Olsen hurriedly supported her shoulders and patted her back, “Shirley, don’t worry, don’t get angry…”

Seeing this, Frankie Allen could not continue to say more.

Mr. Allen also hastily said, “Miss South, don’t worry. Since Isla is your child, let’s forget this matter; we won’t pursue it.”

Frankie Allen frowned, “Dad.”

Mr. Allen glared at him.

Frankie Allen had to close his mouth and say no more.

Jodie South, with one hand on her chest, looked up at him, “Mr. Allen… cough, cough, cough… about this matter… cough, cough… I will certainly… discipline her properly… and give you an explanation…”

Seeing her condition, Mr. Allen waved his hands more earnestly, “No need, no need. You just focus on getting some rest. My son and I will take our leave now.”

Having said that, he pulled the reluctant Frankie Allen out the door.

Before leaving, Frankie Allen glanced at Keira Olsen, noticing her swollen cheeks and gaze fixed on Mrs. Olsen. Frankie had to leave without moving his feet further.

Once they got into the car, he coldly said, “Dad, what is your relationship with that Miss South? Why are you helping her so much? You haven’t done anything to dishonor my mom, have you?”

Mr. Allen smacked him on the head, “What nonsense are you talking? Our Allen Family owes her a debt of gratitude from the past!”

Frankie Allen then relaxed.

However, Mr. Allen’s brow furrowed, “I feel like I’m forgetting something… Never mind, I don’t want to think about it anymore.”

He then sighed for Jodie South, “Such a distinguished person back in the day… how did she come to fall to such a state…”

The few people in the room were unaware of their conversation.

At that moment, the living room was filled with Jodie South’s coughing. Taylor Olsen, flustered and clueless, his eyes red with distress, said, “Shirley, what’s wrong with you? How to stop this cough? Let’s go to the hospital!”

Keira Olsen stepped forward, bringing a glass of water to Jodie South and took the medication she was taking from the table and handed it to her.

About two minutes later, Jodie South finally stopped coughing.

Her complexion unnaturally red, she looked at Isla, “Kneel down!”

Isla’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Mom?”

“I told you to kneel down!”

Jodie South was emotionally agitated and coughed again.

Taylor Olsen couldn’t help but say, “Shirley, don’t be angry, this isn’t such a big deal.”

“`

Jodie South said angrily, “The most important thing about a person is their character, and to think she would do such a thing. She previously used Dr. South’s name, and now she’s stolen Kiera’s credit, how could I not be angry!”

Seeing her so worked up that she was about to start coughing again, Keira Olsen hurriedly said, “Mrs. Olsen, getting angry is bad for your health.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Taylor Olsen looked directly at her and scolded angrily, “You know Jodie’s health is poor, so why did you bring them here?! Do you want to anger Jodie to death to be satisfied?”

Keira Olsen clenched her fists and said, “It wasn’t me who brought them here.”

She was explaining to Mrs. Olsen, as for everyone else, she didn’t care at all.

Jodie South nodded, “I know; you came in ahead of them on purpose to tip us off, didn’t you?”

Keira Olsen lowered her head, feeling a warmth around her eyes.

Mrs. Olsen understood her.

She had never been one to give unilaterally.

But Taylor Olsen laughed coldly, “Jodie, don’t be fooled by her! If she really cared about you, she would have said that the phone call was made by her and her sister together! Then the Allen family would surely not have pursued the matter any further!”

Jodie South suddenly looked at him, “How can you be so unprincipled in what you do? It’s because we spoiled her too much that she has become like this!!”

Taylor Olsen was at a loss for words.

But Isla Olsen stood up from the couch abruptly, “Became what exactly?!”

She glared fiercely and shouted at Jodie South, “I’ve become what I am today because you forced me to! Go and see, which family regards an illegitimate daughter so highly! In your heart, will I never measure up to her?”

Her tears rolled down, “From childhood, I have always had to outdo Keira Olsen because I was afraid you would like her and not like me! As an adult, it was even more so; why do you think I went to such lengths to marry Jake? It was to gain your attention! To let you know that your daughter is the best!”

“Keira Olsen, are you very pleased with yourself? Your mom wrecked my parents’ marriage, and you took away my mom! What right do you have to act so wronged here? Even after you left the Olsen family, didn’t you still cling to your mom using Dr. South’s identity?”

“I worked so hard in college, but she outperformed me… If I hadn’t stolen her identity this time, Jake would have broken off our engagement!”

“Everything I’ve done, I did to make you, mom, look at me highly!”

After screaming these words, she ran upstairs, burst into the bedroom, and slammed the door shut with a “bang.”

Leaving Jodie South standing there stunned.

She looked upstairs in shock, “Am I really like that?”

She felt something was wrong, but couldn’t find the words to refute it.

After all, deep down in her heart, she did indeed prefer Keira Olsen, even though she knew she shouldn’t, she just couldn’t help it…

Taylor Olsen sighed, “Jodie, Isla is our biological daughter, Keira Olsen is an outsider, you really are…”

He did not finish his sentence.

Then he glared at Keira Olsen, “You troublemaker, during the years you weren’t here, we were always peaceful. As soon as you showed up, the house immediately lost its peace. From now on, you’re not allowed to set foot in the Olsens’ house again!”

Keira Olsen’s jaw tightened.

Mrs. Olsen wanted to say something, but Taylor Olsen grabbed her by the arm, “Jodie, there should be distinctions between those close to us and those who are not… don’t be confused anymore!”

Mrs. Olsen was stunned for a moment, guilt rising in her heart.

Guilt toward Isla, and toward Keira Olsen.

Keira Olsen felt as if a huge stone was pressing on her chest. She knew what she had to do, as she had long been accustomed to it.

She lowered her gaze and took a step back, “Mrs. Olsen, take good care of yourself; don’t worry about me.”

Then, she turned and left with determined steps.

Her steps were firm, her spine straight.

But at the moment she walked out the door, a single tear rolled down from the corner of her eye.

She had never had the right to stand by Mrs. Olsen’s side.

She reached up, gently wiped the corner of her eye, and erased the tear marks.

At that moment, her phone rang. It was a call from her Uncle Finley Hill. His voice was weary and panicked, “Niece, I’m selling that secret for five million dollars. Do you want it?”

“I’ll take it.”
