My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

211 Mama’s Girl

At that moment, Mrs. Olsen thought of many things.

1

She had always lived in Oceanion under a pseudonym and never even revealed her identity or connections to Isla, causing Isla to take a roundabout path to marry into a wealthy family.

Now it was Keira’s turn…

Her status was higher than Isla’s, and her situation was even more difficult.

How could the matriarch of a top-tier family like the Horton Group come from an ordinary middle-class family?

So…

Mrs. Olsen lowered her gaze.

The matter between her and Uncle Olsen was after all

a grudge from the older generation, which was

unrelated to Keira.

Keira had the right to know who her biological father

was.

Uncle Olsen had remained unmarried for so many years; if he had a daughter, he would surely love her twice as much. With the Clance Olsen family as her

backup, Keira would be able to set her footing in the Horton family quickly.

Mrs. Olsen’s lips curved into a mocking smile.

In the end, it seemed that even top-tier families like these were still particular about marrying equals…

Seeing her relent, Ellis raised an eyebrow at Keira. “Your mom has agreed. Shall we set a time and place?”

But Keira looked at Mrs. Olsen and said indifferently, “Sure, my mom said yes, but I know she didn’t really

want it.”

Mrs. Olsen was taken aback.

Keira continued. “Mom, if you won’t see him, neither

do I need to.””

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Olsen gazed at Keira and saw her standing there with an air of casual grace. She suddenly laughed.

She had been mistaken.

Isla had always been someone who chased fame and

12.10

fortune, which was why she blamed her, but Keira was

different.

From her childhood, Keira had always relied on herself;

she took to heart the words Mrs. Olsen had once taught them, never changing over the span of more

than twenty years.

Mrs. Olsen laughed. “Then we won’t meet.”

The mother and daughter shared a smile as they looked at each other; a deep understanding lay hidden between them, not needing words to be

comprehended.

However, Ellis couldn’t accept this. “Hey, you can’t go back on your word like that. Mrs. Olsen, you have no idea how difficult Keira is having it in the Horton family right now!”

He pulled up a chair and sat beside Mrs. Olsen’s bed. just got wind of something. The illegitimate daughter from the Horton family’s first branch has made contact

with the Cobb family in Clance. If their union

succeeds, the first branch will surely dominate. By then, Lewis’s position as the family head and as CEO of Horton Group might well have to be handed over!”

Keira said with a smile, “Mom, don’t listen to his

nonsense. It’s not that serious. Lewis definitely has other plans.”

The man’s strength was unfathomable; Horton Group wasn’t all he had.

Ellis’s mouth twitched. “You’re quite confident in him.”

“Of course, my mom likes Lewis too.”

Ellis’s eyes flickered, and he said, “What about the clinical trial spot at the Clance Research Institute? Old Mrs. Horton’s dementia is getting worse; you should be exploring options and preparing to get a spot for the old lady to try again, right? Let me tell you, my family has connections in that area too!”

Keira was perplexed.

She frowned slightly and looking at Ellis’s expres she finally understood why they needed her to personally choose the trial spot in Clance.

The officials at the Clance Research Institute could withstand the temptation of money, but not the pressure of power!

Could they resist caving in if a family like the Clance

12-11 4

211 Mama’s Girl

Olsen family applied pressure?

Seeing Ellis’s confident demeanor, it was clear it was impossible.

They had thrown a hot potato at her.

Keira stroked her forehead and twitched the corner of

her mouth.

Her demeanor, however, led Ellis to misunderstand. He immediately said, “The illegitimate daughter from the first branch of the family leveraged the Cobb family in Clance to secure a spot. Do you really think she’s showing filial piety to old Mrs. Horton? Just you wait. Once the medicine is used, she’ll demand a king’s ransom! If Lewis doesn’t transfer five percent of the shares to her as a dowry, this deal won’t go through And with an additional five percent, the Horton family’s first branch will hold fifty-four percent of th company shares, and they’ll call a board meeting and oust Lewis from his position!”

Ellis raised an eyebrow. “So, Keira, come with me to see my uncle. With Uncle Olsen stepping in, everything will be fine.”

Keira tapped her chin. “Is the Clance Olsen family that

powerful?”

“Of course, we are one of the top five families!”

Ellis was extremely proud. “My uncle probably wants to take you in as his goddaughter. With the Olsen family backing you, you’ll be able to do anything in Oceanion from now on!”

Keira laughed. “Well, thank you very much for that!”

Ellis excitedly stood up but heard Keira add another line. “But really, there’s no need; having my mom is enough for me.”

Ellis was dumbfounded.

He blinked, stunned, and then his face darkened. “Keira, don’t be an ingrate! Do you know how many people in Crera want to cozy up to my uncle? This i the first time he’s actually going out of his way to of

a favor to someone!”

Keira said seriously, “Then you can’t let him be

humiliated like that.”

Ellis was shocked.

Why were her words so infuriating?!

12:11

211 Mama’s Girl

He was almost jumping with agitation. “How can you

be so clueless!”

Keira spread her hands. “Born this way. Can’t help it.”

Ellis was dumbfounded.

He stared at Keira and then glanced at Mrs. Olsen, finally realizing something. “All this talk about your mom. It turns out you’re really a mama’s girl!”

Instead of getting angry at this remark, Keira’s eyes lit up. She suddenly found the title endearingly reassuring and smiled sweetly.

Ellis was speechless. How starved of affection was she, to be content with just her mom’s love? It was just unbearable to watch!

Then he heard her voice, cold yet tinged with excitement. “Do you have any other business? If not, please don’t disturb my mom’s rest. She just woke up

and she’s still weak.”

Ellis was thus chased out of the hospital room, and standing at the door, he watched Keira. She was devoid of that prickly attitude he’d sensed at their first

meeting. She was now compliant and adorable.

“Mom, want some water?

“Mom, it’s time for your medicine…

“Mom…”

All her “Mom” made Ellis feel like he was seeing his five-year-old nephew, who would incessantly call out to his mom at home and drive his sister-in-law crazy every day.

Yet Mrs. Olsen would always look at her daughter with

a gentle smile, showing not a hint of impatience.

Dragged down by his thoughts, Ellis returned to the hotel and entered Uncle Olsen’s room. He then ranted

and jumped about how Keira was “unable to recognize favor” and ended in a huff. “Uncle, she’s not your daughter, so there’s really no need to spoil her!”

Unexpectedly, upon saying this, he saw Uncle Olsen smile. “Her temperament is indeed very much like Miss

Jodie’s.”

A sudden sense of foreboding washed over Ellis. Sure enough, the next moment he heard his uncle say, “Since she’s unwilling to meet me, then I’ll have to go

12:11

to her.”

Ellis was stunned. “Where will you meet her?”

Uncle Olsen pondered for a moment and then smiled. “I cannot go to the Olsen residence, but the Horton’s, I can still visit, can’t I? I heard their old lady is ill. I’ll pay

them a visit tomorrow.”

Ellis was shocked.

Keira didn’t leave the hospital ward that night.

Even when Taylor came back in the evening and Mrs. Olsen asked her to return to the Horton family, Keira didn’t agree.

It wasn’t until the next morning that Mrs. Olsen’s health had fully recovered.

Keira handled her discharge procedures and after sending her back to the Olsen family, Mrs. Olsen once again pressured her to return to the Horton family..

Old Mrs. Horton was still seriously ill, and Keira was also full of concern. Seeing that Mrs. Olsen looked healthy and was unlikely to fall ill again, Keira finally went back to the Horton family.

When she arrived at old Mrs. Horton’s courtyard, Keira found Nathan, Oliver, and Jake still standing guard here, and she immediately noticed an additional woman in the living room.

Oliver was talking intimately with the girl; beside her, the look in Jake’s eyes was almost fiery!

Keira immediately knew that this girl was likely Selena.

She bore a resemblance to Oliver, looking as if she

could be Jake’s sister.

Oliver was complaining. “…I heard that Isla has been sent to a psychiatric hospital, and I don’t know if there is still a way to sign the divorce agreement. Your brother’s marriage has completely disgraced our family!”

Selena was laughing and comforting him. “Dad, you

can file for divorce now. Her mental illness is a premarital concealment of facts. As long as you sue, the court generally grants the divorce, don’t worry. Besides, Jake is the legitimate eldest grandson of our Horton family. How could he marry a woman from such a minor household?”

Oliver immediately said, “Who in Oceanion could compare to our Horton family?”

Selena laughed. “When I marry into the Cobb family in Clance, I’ll keep an eye out for Jake.”

Jake immediately looked at her, saying coldly, “Don’t

bother!”

Jake. “Ungrateful creature, how can you speak to your sister like that? She’s so concerned about you, and yet you show her no respect!”

Jake wanted to speak, but Selena had already patted Oliver’s chest. “Dad, don’t be angry. Jake is young and doesn’t understand, I won’t hold it against him…”

Oliver immediately nodded. “Selena, you’re so sensible. I’ve already discussed it with your grandfather. When you come back this time, you’ll stay with the Horton family!”

Smiling, Selena tactfully declined. “Forget it, Dad. It’s not suitable for me to stay at home… Moreover, Jake doesn’t want to see me, and I don’t want to have

conflicts with him.”

Jake was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Oliver said, “You are my daughter, how is it not suitable? If Jake dares to disrespect you, I’ll be the fir to not forgive him!”

Keira wasn’t interested in these matters of the first

branch of the family, and she headed straight to old Mrs. Horton’s bedroom, wanting to see how the old lady was doing.

12:11

Unexpectedly, Selena changed her tune and directly targeted her. “Actually, I have an idea that could avoid conflicts with Jake, but I’m not sure if you, Aunt Keira, would agree.”

Keira was perplexed.

She paused slightly in her steps and turned her head to

look at Selena with a frown.

Selena was around twenty-six and older than Keira, but she called her “Aunt Keira” without any hesitation.

She looked at Keira with a smile. “I was thinking of moving into Great-grandma’s courtyard to help take care of her more easily. I wonder, Aunt Keira, do you

think I can do that?”

As soon as these words came out, Oliver immediately glanced at Nathan, then smiled and said, “Your Uncle Lewis also lives here, and as a woman, it might not be convenient for you, right?”

Selena sighed, “True, Uncle Lewis is about my age, and – he and Aunt Keira are newlyweds… So what should I

do?”

Almost immediately after these words fell, Nathan

looked at Vaira “Vou nook un Vou and I aurig will move

to the main house, and let Selena take over this

courtyard.”

Keira’s gaze instantly sharpened.

She immediately looked at Selena and suddenly understood what the first branch of the Horton family

was thinking.

Old Mrs. Horton was suffering from dementia, her mind foggy one moment and clear the next. If Selena was in charge of this small courtyard, who was to say she wouldn’t trick the old Mrs. Horton into signing over her shares without Keira or Lewis’s knowledge?

Selena indeed had more cunning methods than Jake.

Keira didn’t trust leaving Old Mrs. Horton in the care of such a scheming woman, so she said, “Sorry, I don’t

think so.”

Nathan frowned and, gripping his teacup, hurled it straight at Keira. “Who allowed you to speak to me like

that?!”

Keira dodged, and the teacup whizzed past her, then smashed on the ground behind her.

Nathan pointed at her and shouted angrily, “Coming

manners! Your grandmother was gravely ill and yet you didn’t come home all night! Do you have any concern for the elderly in your heart? I was not discussing with you just now, I was giving you an order! Pack your things right now and move to the main house! From now on, Selena will be solely in charge of this courtyard!”

Keira frowned but did not move.

Oliver immediately scowled and said angrily, “Keira, how dare you disobey Dad’s orders?! In this household, the man is the head!”

Selena hesitantly said, “Aunt Keira, old Mrs. Horton is my family too. You don’t think I’m incapable of taking good care of her, do you?”

Oliver immediately sneered. “What right does she have to doubt you? You’re the one who secured such an important clinical trial slot for Grandma. You’re now the biggest contributor in this household!”

Selena waved her hand. “Dad, don’t talk about

contributors or non-contributors. I’m just being a good daughter.”

12:11

Then she looked earnestly at Keira. “Aunt Keira, it’s not that I insist on living here, but I have no choice. Since Great-grandma is using a drug that’s not on the market, the Clance laboratory needs to send someone to take samples from her because they need the follow-up observation data.

“They agreed to this only because of the Cobb family’s influence. When they arrive, they need to observe old

Mrs. Horton’s reactions at all times, which means they must stay in this courtyard. It’s inconvenient for you and Uncle Lewis to stay. After all, they’re my friends,

and it’ll be better for me to host them! You and Uncle

Lewis would understand, right?”

Keira looked at her and scoffed. “The Clance

laboratory would never allow for a situation where slots are given based on connections. You sure do think highly of yourself!”

Last night, people in Clance sent her the list of applicants, and she was still in the selection phase; there was no way Selena could have truly invited

anyone over.

But at these words, Oliver became angry. “Keira, what do you know? Selena’s fiance is from the Cobb family

in Clance! Do you realize what power and status the five major families in Clance have? How could a mere laboratory be too much for them to acquire!”

Nathan also said coldly, “I’ve long said Lewis’s wife won’t do because she comes from a small family. Do you really think the world is all fair? You’ve never seen real power and only imagined it. How naive!”

Oliver sighed, “This reminds me of a story about ancient peasants chatting in the field, speculating what life was like for the emperor. Guess what they said?”

Selena played along. “What did they say?”

“They said, the emperor must use a golden hoe to farm, and he probably eats nothing but finest white rice. He’d eat one bowl and toss another…”

After saying this, Oliver looked mockingly at Keira. “Lewis’s wife, you understand nothing. Better not to embarrass yourself further here!”

Keira felt the ridicule.

Did these wealthy capitalists truly believe that money gave them the right to do whatever they wanted?

12:11

Nathan frowned. “Women know nothing! I really don’t understand how Lewis could fancy someone without a proper background like you! I’ve always said marriage should be between equals. With your kind, Lewis will grow tired of you sooner or later!”

Oliver also threatened her. “Keira, I advise you to follow Dad’s words obediently. That way, you’ll have some support in this household. Otherwise, if Lewis wants to divorce you, it’d be just a matter of a contract! With your family being powerless, if you get kicked out and stripped of everything, there’ll be no one to stand up for you!”

As Keira was about to retort, a cold voice suddenly came from the doorway. “Who says she has no one to back her up?!”

Keira suddenly turned her head, only to see a tall figure wrapped in the cold wind, entering the room.

The weather had turned cold, and the man was wearing a black woolen coat that made him appear tall and straight.

As he entered, his gaze quickly swept over everyone before landing on Keira. He approached her, his voice deep as he asked, “How is Mrs. Olsen?”

Lewis who had returned.

He had messaged Keira last night, informing her that although his grandmother hadn’t yet woken up, her life wasn’t in danger, which reassured Keira to remain with

Mrs. Olsen.

Keira answered, “She’s been discharged from the

hospital. Don’t worry.”

“Good.”

Only then did Lewis turn to look at Oliver and Nathan, his voice grave as he said, “I don’t need you to worry about my marriage. My wife is my responsibility! Even

without a powerful maternal family to back her up, my support is more than enough!”

Nathan sneered. “Do you think I want to worry about you? Cold-hearted people like you marry undutiful wives! Your grandmother didn’t wake up last night, and we were all here on vigil, yet she was absent!”

Lewis explained, “Mrs. Olsen was also hospitalized. She was accompanying Mrs. Olsen at the hospital!”

Oliver immediately scoffed. “Having married into the Horton family, she’s now the Hortons’

daughter-in-law! She’s only just recognized her mom- does she fear that she won’t get an inheritance if her mother dies? How shortsighted! Can’t she distinguis between the weight of her mother and her great-grandmother?”

Keira clenched her fists tightly. Inheritance?

That was a curse and an insult to Mrs. Olsen!

Her eyes immediately turned icy, and Lewis’s gaze became sharp as he said, “Shut up!”

Nathan frowned. “Who are you telling to shut up? He’s your brother!”

With a steely look, Lewis retorted, “If I hear him insult Mrs. Olsen again, then you had better consider how

his inheritance will be divided.”

His heedless demeanor caused Oliver to immediately shut his mouth.

He knew full well that his brother meant what he said!

Fuming, Nathan slapped the armrest of his chair, getting ready to speak when Fiona walked out beaming with joy. “Old Mrs. Horton is awake!”

At her word, Keira and Lewis immediately left the first branch of the family behind, heading toward Old Mrs.

Horton’s bedroom.

There, they saw the little old lady looking radiant from her sleep, smilingly watching the doorway and saying to Lewis, “Brat, where did you go?”

Lewis immediately walked up to her. “I stepped out to

take a phone call.”

“Oh, okay.”

Old Mrs. Horton then turned her gaze to Keira, immediately grabbing her hand. “You must be my daughter-in-law, Miss Davis, right? That brat doesn’t

Keira was taken aback!

She subconsciously exchanged glances with Lewis, and then both of them simultaneously turned to look at old

Mrs. Horton. “Grandma, who are we?”

“Ah! Brat, I’m your mother! Why are you calling me Grandma?”

Old Mrs. Horton smacked Lewis lightly.

Lewis was instantly stunned.

He stared blankly at old Mrs. Horton, then suddenly clenched his fist tight.

Old Mrs. Horton then held Keira’s hand again, “Miss Davis, don’t just stand there, sit down. You’re carrying a baby… It doesn’t matter whether it’s a boy or a girl. After you give birth, I promise to love them for a lifetime!”

Lewis’s eyes reddened slightly.

Even though Grandma no longer recognized him, she was still concerned about him.
