My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

116 Confession

Isla screamed in rage, knowing that Mrs. Olsen had an extraordinary background and could definitely help her settle this matter.”

Just like the Allen family from Clance…

The eminent Allen family of Clance was one the Horton family didn’t wish to offend easily, yet Mr. Allen had been very courteous to Mrs. Olsen.

Watching her, Isla cried out, “Mom, I know you can do it! Help me just one more time, one last time…”

Mrs. Olsen looked at her frenzied daughter, a flicker of

disappointment flashed through her eyes.

She appeared weak but had always been strong-willed

otherwise, she wouldn’t have come this far.

Mrs. Olsen let out a bitter laugh, her weakened legs gradually straightened, and her trembling body began to regain composure as she sneered, “Then go ahead and jump!”

Isla was stunned.

Mrs. Olsen looked down, “This is the third floor. If you

jump, you’ll at most break some bones, and even if you have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of your life, the Olsen family can provide for you!”

Isla bit her lip in anger. “Mom!”

Taylor was also extremely surprised. “Shirley! Don’t say such angry words! Isla, don’t be impulsive! We can talk this out. Come back here!”

But Mrs. Olsen sneered. “Taylor, my failure to raise our daughter has nothing to do with you. She wants glory and riches so much that she might as well jump!”

Taylor wanted to say something, but in the next moment, he heard Isla’s roar. “You don’t care if I end up crippled, but do you not care about the child I’m carrying?!”

Upon hearing that, Mrs. Olsen was dumbfound

“What?”

With tears in her eyes, Isla said, “I’m carrying Jake child. I won’t die from jumping here, but what abou this baby?”

Mrs. Olsen’s jaw tensed.

Crying, Isla pleaded. “Mom, I want to marry Jake, not

just for the sake of luxury, but for this child! I beg you. I don’t want to be a single mother. I don’t want my child to be born without a father…”

Her words pierced Mrs. Olsen’s heart like a sharp

knife.

It was as if she saw her younger self…

Taylor’s eyes flickered as he supported her. “Shirley, don’t be so cruel to the child… Isla is still young. It’s forgivable to make mistakes, as long as she corrects

them.”

Isla knew she could only persuade Mrs. Olsen with a soft approach, so she cried harder. “Mom, I know what I did was wrong. I admit I wooed Jake because I was jealous of Keira because you always cared about But later, I truly fell in love with Jake. I don’t want

“Later, Jake started to treat me worse and worse, and I could only cling to what I could to keep his heart. I’m not a bad person, Mom. I’m sorry…”

Taylor also held Mrs. Olsen’s arm, “Shirley, no matter what, Isla is your only daughter. You didn’t send her back to Clance back then because you wanted her to have a simple life. How can you bear to see her like

this?!”

How could she bear it…

Of course, she couldn’t.

Mrs. Olsen’s clenched fists slowly loosened, and eventually, she seemed a bit desolate. Her tone finally softened. “Alright, I’ll help you!”

Isla was her daughter. She couldn’t watch Isla die.

After sending off the first branch of the family, Keira found breakfast rather enjoyable.

In the morning, Lewis busied himself at Horton Group catching up on recent work, but he rushed back by noon to have lunch with Keira and old Mrs. Horton.

In the afternoon. Keira held old Mrs. Horton’s arm.

accompanying her on a stroll around the manor.

The Horton residence was very large, and she accompanied old Mrs. Horton on a walk around it, which was also to help her sleep better at night. Considering her advanced age, it was always good to move her limbs, so she wouldn’t seem so stiff.

As the two were strolling, they suddenly overheard several people whispering.

“That’s just shameless, after causing such a scandal, she dares to show up again…”

“Mrs. Olsen has rarely been seen in public these past years, and seeing her today, she looks so pale. The madam didn’t let her in, so she just stood outside the door. What if she falls seriously ill?”

“What can be done about it? She brought it on herself!”

“If I were her, having raised such a daughter, I woul have hidden myself away long ago; I don’t know what she was thinking, showing up at the Hortons. You have no idea, it’s so embarrassing…”

Keira was taken aback when she heard this and briskly approached them. “Whom were you just talking

about?”

“We’re talking about Isla’s mom, Mrs. Olsen. She came with Isla to apologize, but the madam wouldn’t see her, so she just stood outside and didn’t leave.”

Keira’s pupils constricted.

How could she do that with Mrs. Olsen’s frail health?

She hurriedly looked at old Mrs. Horton, “Grandma, you…”

Old Mrs. Horton just patted her arm. “Go if you have something to do; I’m fine. I’ll have Fiona take me back.” Fiona and a family doctor followed them on their w

from

It took Keira over ten minutes of running to reach the

entrance.

12:48

Just as she stepped out of the small gate within the large iron gates, she saw Mrs. Olsen, supported by Isla, standing at the entrance, coughing. It was a wide highway flanked by large lawns…

Mrs. Olsen was allergic to grass seeds, and now her coughing made her complexion even worse.

Keira rushed over and pulled out the medicine she

always carried for Mrs. Olsen. “Ma’am, take some

medicine first!”

Mrs. Olsen nodded, took some water from the car, and after taking her medicine, she felt much better.

Keira then asked, “Ma’am, why go through this… Is it really necessary?”

She glanced at Isla.

Isla stood behind Mrs. Olsen, not hiding the hatred her eyes. She glared fiercely at Keira. “Keira, if you truly care about my mom, speak up for me in front of old Mrs. Horton! Spare my mom from suffering here!”

Mrs. Olsen immediately spoke up. “Keira, this has nothing to do with you. You should go back!”

But Keira held her arm, “How can your affairs have

Mrs. Olsen felt a warmth in her chest upon hearing

this.

She patted Keira’s hand but ultimately sighed, “Keira, although you are also Taylor’s daughter, Isla’s issue truly has nothing to do with you. Better not get involved in this matter. Please leave.”

At these words, Keira paused slightly, her chest suddenly tightening.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke up.

Mrs. Olsen was taken aback and looked at her.

Then she gave a bitter smile. “Fine, I know you have never acknowledged this father, but this matter has nothing to do with you. You should leave.”

Keira tightened her jaw, not offering further explanation, as now wasn’t a good time. “Mrs. Olsen, let’s talk about my issue later. You should go back to

the car first…”

Melissa wasn’t an easy mother-in-law to deal with. Isla had embarrassed the first branch of the family, and after her failed scheme against old Mrs. Horton, she had even been outmaneuvered and lost two percen the shares. How could she possibly agree to meet wi Mrs. Olsen?

However, Keira’s position was awkward, and she couldn’t really ask old Mrs. Horton for help…

As she was pondering, footsteps came from the Horton residence’s large iron gate, followed by Fiona

approaching with a smile. “You must be Mrs. Olsen. When guests arrive, there’s no reason for them to wait

outside. Please come in with me!”

Mrs. Olsen was startled, “And you are?”

Fiona didn’t say much. “I am the Horton family’s

butler.”

Mrs. Olsen then looked toward Keira.

Keira pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said, “Mrs. Olsen, please go in first.”

She knew that it was old Mrs. Horton who had sent

Fiona over.

She also understood that she couldn’t use old Mrs. Horton’s affection and trust to help Isla, but she really couldn’t just stand by and watch Mrs. Olsen suffer.

Mrs. Olsen didn’t know the reason behind it all a nodded. She coughed and entered the door.

Old Mrs. Horton had sent someone to greet the gue personally, so even if Melissa was reluctant, she had give old Mrs. Horton this courtesy.

The group soon arrived at the main house’s living

room.

Melissa was sitting arrogantly on the sofa. “Mrs. Olsen,

what are you doing? If I don’t want to see you, will you wait outside indefinitely, not embarrassed by the disgrace?”

She hadn’t even offered a seat to the visitors.

Keira stepped forward, about to say something, when Isla grabbed her arm. “You better keep quiet. Don’t offend my future mother-in-law and ruin this marriage

for me!”

Keira gave Isla a cold look.

Just because of this, was it alright to let Mrs. Olsen beg

and lower herself here?

Mrs. Olsen didn’t notice the disagreement between the two children and merely coughed before walkin over to a sofa and sitting down.

Melissa scoffed sarcastically. “Mrs. Olsen, such manners, a product of fine upbringing. I hear Kein the illegitimate daughter you raised. No wonder sh so well-mannered!”

Mrs. Olsen looked up at this, smiled gently but spoke with strength, “Indeed, I have raised Keira, and thank you for your compliments.”
