How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire-Chapter 176 -
Chapter 176: Chapter 176
Chapter 176 -176
Mrs. Olsen had been suffering from poor sleep for many years, so when the small villa they owned underwent renovation, soundproofing was a priority.
Whether it was the living room or the bedroom, soundproofing cotton was installed within the walls.
Therefore, Mrs. Olsen didn’t hear any noise from outside the door while dining.
Seeing so many people rush in at this moment, she was slightly stunned.
Only after hearing Kiera’s voice did she look at the photo in her hand.
Kiera looked at her earnestly, her eyes filled with anticipation!
She knew that what she was doing today was a bit rash, the best approach would have been to secretly have a DNA test with Mrs. Olsen before acknowledging each other…
But she couldn’t wait.
She and the Lady South in the photo looked so much alike; they were almost carved from the same mold. They must be blood-related!
So, she was definitely Mrs. Olsen’s daughter…
Kiera’s gaze was eager, watching Mrs. Olsen with great care.
Mrs. Olsen looked at the photo and a look of surprise appeared on her face. Then she looked up at Kiera and turned her gaze to Mr. Allen, who had followed them in.
Mr. Allen was the first to speak, “Miss South, look at the person in the photo, doesn’t she look familiar?”
Mrs. Olsen’s expression was blank as she looked back at Kiera.
Her gaze slid back and forth between the photo and Kiera, her brows slightly furrowed.
Mr. Allen tried again, “Don’t you think that Miss Olsen and the person in the photo might be blood-relatives?”
Mrs. Olsen frowned, looked at Kiera again, and after a long moment, she lowered her eyes and spoke slowly, “The person in the photo and Kiera do look strikingly similar. If we consider the age, Kiera, is this your grandmother?”
Grandmother?
Kiera immediately caught the implication in Mrs. Olsen’s words and froze, “Mrs. Olsen, you… you don’t recognize the person in the photo?”
Mrs. Olsen was slightly taken aback by the question and asked in confusion, “Should I know her?”
Kiera turned to look at Mr. Allen, puzzled.
Clearly, Mr. Allen was also stunned by this unexpected turn of events; he looked at Mrs. Olsen incredulously, “Isn’t this Lady South?”
Mrs. Olsen instantly frowned, “My mother? No… that’s not her…”
Kiera was flabbergasted.
She felt as if someone had shockingly doused her with a bucket of ice water, extinguishing the flames of hope that had just risen!
She turned back, looking blankly at Mr. Allen.
Mr. Allen was just as bewildered, staring in disbelief at the photo in her hand, “This isn’t Lady South? How could it not be Lady South?”
Mrs. Olsen gave a wry smile, “How could I possibly not recognize my own mother? Indeed, this isn’t her.”
Aunt South, who stood beside her, immediately stepped forward, glanced at the photo, and shook her head, “This isn’t our old Mrs. Horton; our old Mrs. Horton has a red mole between her brows.”
Mr. Allen was flabbergasted, he looked down at the photo and then back up at Mrs. Olsen.
Mrs. Olsen and the woman in the photo really didn’t look alike at all…
He furrowed his brows tightly, “What’s going on here?”
Mrs. Allen immediately stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and pinched it hard, “Old Allen, you didn’t misremember the person, did you?”
Mr. Allen paused.
Mrs. Allen then looked curiously at Kiera, “Even if this person isn’t Lady South, she must be related to you somehow, could she be your grandmother? Or perhaps your great-grandmother?”
Otherwise, they couldn’t possibly look so alike!
Mr. Allen immediately tugged at her, “What nonsense are you talking about? Kiera’s father is Mr. Olsen!”
Mrs. Allen then realized she had spoken out of turn.
She glanced subconsciously at Taylor Olsen, then back at Kiera, and suddenly leaned close to Mr. Allen, whispering, “Don’t you find it strange? Kiera also doesn’t resemble Taylor Olsen…”
“Shush…”
Both of them were now hesitant to speak, after all, they had caused such a huge blunder.
Kiera stared blankly at Mrs. Allen, her chin tensed, and she didn’t say a word.
Mrs. Olsen looked at the photo again.
The woman in the photo, who greatly resembled Kiera, stirred a vaguely familiar feeling within her, yet she couldn’t remember where she had seen her before.
Her life in Clance was all from over twenty years ago…
Mrs. Olsen lowered her gaze, returned the photo to Kiera, and was just about to say something when she suddenly caught sight of Ellis standing beside her. At the moment she saw him, Mrs. Olsen was slightly taken aback, “You are?”
Ellis Olsen immediately stepped forward, “Mrs. Olsen, I am Ellis Olsen from the Clance Olsen Family. My uncle sent me to convey his regards on his behalf.”
Uncle…
Mrs. Olsen’s body swayed almost imperceptibly, nearly losing her balance, and only with Aunt South’s timely support did she manage to steady herself.
She looked at Ellis with astonishment, her eyes suddenly becoming somewhat hazy.
It seemed she saw through him, to his uncle… that man who could strategize over anything.
Mrs. Olsen’s face turned two shades paler.
“Shirley…”
Taylor Olsen’s call brought her back to her senses.
Mrs. Olsen tightened her jaw, took a deep breath, and asked nearly frantically, “Why are you here?”
With a smile, Ellis answered, “You invited Poppy Hill’s young man to Oceanion for a visit, and after my uncle found out, he sent me along to have some fun… Mrs. Olsen, are you well acquainted with my uncle?”
Ellis carefully observed Mrs. Olsen.
His uncle, a lifelong bachelor with an eccentric temper and impressive capabilities, was currently the head of the Olsen Family.
Therefore, he had no choice but to follow his uncle’s wishes.
His uncle had always avoided women, yet for Mrs. Olsen before him, he specifically instructed Ellis to extend his greetings and to see if she was faring well.
What was the relationship between his uncle and her?
As he pondered, he noticed Mrs. Olsen’s complexion was slightly pale, but she quickly regained her composure and said in a calm voice, “I am merely an acquaintance of Uncle Olsen.”
Her fingers, concealed in her sleeve, clenched tightly.
Taylor Olsen’s gaze, however, fell upon Isla Olsen, and with a downward glance, he casually suggested, “Young Master Olsen, let Isla show you around Oceanion these few days.”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Olsen immediately tensed up, glancing at Taylor Olsen.
Taylor managed a wry smile, leaned closer, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Shirley, let Isla and her cousin develop a closer relationship…”
Mrs. Olsen’s fingers involuntarily tightened as the memory of a night over twenty years ago, a night of lost control with Uncle Olsen, flashed in her mind…
Afterward, she discovered she was pregnant, fled Clance, and followed Taylor Olsen to Oceanion, where she gave birth to Isla.
Her face grew paler by the moment, her entire being nearly on the verge of fainting…
Immediately, Taylor Olsen said, “Young Master Olsen, Mr. Allen, Shirley isn’t feeling well, so we will not be entertaining you any longer today!”
Ellis Olsen looked at Mrs. Olsen in confusion, “Alright.”
Isla and Jake Horton stayed behind, while the rest of the guests gradually left the house.
Keira Olsen turned around in a daze, preparing to leave with Mr. Allen.
She felt like a joke.
The thing she longed for had never responded; it was all just wishful thinking on her part.
With her head lowered, she headed for the door…
Mr. Allen looked on with a face full of guilt, feeling utterly hasty. How could he have mistaken the person?
He hesitated, wanting to apologize, but not knowing quite what to say…
Mrs. Olsen watched them.
As they were heading out, Ellis unknowingly stood beside Keira Olsen, the two side by side. The amorous eyes on their faces, the false signature of the Olsens, made Mrs. Olsen dazed for a moment.
Then, Mrs. Olsen suddenly remembered something…
She recalled it.
The woman in the photo, who looked almost exactly like Keira Olsen, was Uncle Olsen’s mother from Clance—the grandmother of Ellis Olsen!!
But how could this be?
Mrs. Olsen’s pupils dilated slowly, her gaze shifting unbelievably toward Keira Olsen!!
Today Aunt South had shown her the DNA test report for Keira Olsen and Taylor Olsen. Keira indeed was not Taylor’s daughter…
This was puzzling in itself.
She could not understand how the child, who after amniocentesis and DNA comparison with Taylor, was confirmed to be his offspring, could turn out not to be so upon birth?
Had Poppy Hill tampered with the DNA years ago?
But at this moment, she suddenly understood!
