How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire-Chapter 210 -

Chapter 210: Chapter 210

Chapter 210 -210

At that moment, Jodie South thought of many things.

She had always lived in Oceanion under an assumed name, never revealing her identity or connections to Isla Olsen, leading Isla to take a roundabout path in her quest to marry into a wealthy family.

Now, it was Keira Olsen’s turn…

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

How could the matriarch of a top-tier wealthy family like the Horton Family possibly come from a common middle-class family?

So…

Jodie South lowered her eyes.

The matter between her and Uncle Olsen was ultimately a grudge of the older generation, unrelated to Keira.

Keira had the right to know who her biological father was.

Uncle Olsen had been unmarried for many years, and if he had a daughter, he would surely dote on her doubly; having the Clance Olsen Family as support, Keira would be able to secure her footing in the Horton Family quickly.

A mocking smile curled at the corner of Jodie South’s lips.

Such top-tier wealthy families, after all, are concerned with marrying equals…

Seeing her relent, Ellis Olsen raised an eyebrow at Keira Olsen, “Your mom agrees, shall we set a time and place?”

However, Keira Olsen looked at Jodie South and said indifferently, “My mom might have agreed verbally, but her heart hasn’t.”

Jodie South was taken aback.

Keira Olsen continued, “Mom, if you’re not seeing him, then there’s no need for me to either.”

Hearing this, Jodie South looked intently at Keira Olsen, who stood there with a posture brimming with composed grandeur, and she suddenly laughed.

She had thought wrongly.

Isla had always been chasing fame and fortune, which is why she blamed her, but Keira was different.

Keira had always relied on herself from childhood, taking to heart the lessons she had taught them for over twenty years without ever changing.

Jodie South laughed, “Then let’s not meet.”

Mother and daughter exchanged smiles, deep understanding hidden between them, comprehension without the need for words.

Ellis Olsen, however, was not pleased, “Hey, you can’t just go back on a promise like that! Mrs. Olsen, you have no idea how difficult it is for Keira Olsen in the Horton Family now!”

He pulled up a chair and sat beside Mrs. Olsen’s bed, “I just heard some news, the illegitimate daughter from the first branch of the Horton family has made contact with the Cobb Family in Clance. If their marriage alliance succeeds, the first branch will definitely gain the upper hand. By then, Lewis Horton’s position as head of the family and CEO of Horton Group might have to be forfeited!”

Keira Olsen just laughed and said, “Mom, don’t listen to his nonsense; it’s not that serious. Lewis definitely has a backup plan.”

The man’s capabilities were unfathomably deep, Horton Group was certainly not all he had.

Ellis Olsen twitched his lips, “You’re quite confident in him.”

“Of course, my mom likes Lewis too.”

Ellis Olsen’s eyes darted about, then he spoke up again, “What about the clinical trial slots at Clance Research Institute? Old Mrs. Horton’s dementia is getting worse, and you guys must be thinking of securing a slot to try again, right? Let me tell you, the Clance Olsen Family has connections in that area too!”

Keira Olsen: ?

She furrowed her brow, looking at the confident demeanor of Ellis Olsen in front of her, finally understanding why the experimental slots in Clance needed her personal selection.

The staff at the Clance Research Institute might resist the allure of money, but not the pressure of power.

With a family like the Clance Olsen Family applying pressure, could they not relent?

Seeing the confident look on Ellis Olsen’s face, she knew it was impossible.

So they’re throwing me a hot potato?

Keira Olsen rubbed her forehead and tugged at the corner of her mouth.

This gesture of hers, however, led Ellis Olsen to misunderstand. He immediately said, “The illegitimate daughter from the first branch of the family used the Cobb Family in Clance to secure a spot, right? You really think she’s being filial to the old lady? Just wait. Once the medication is used, she’ll start making huge demands! Unless Lewis Horton transfers five percent of the shares to her as a dowry, this deal won’t go through! And with an additional five percent, the first branch of the Horton family will immediately hold fifty-four percent of the company and will surely call a board meeting to oust Lewis Horton!”

Ellis Olsen raised an eyebrow, “So, Keira Olsen, come with me to meet my Uncle Olsen. As long as he steps in, this is not a problem.”

Keira Olsen stroked her chin: “Is the Clance Olsen Family really that powerful?”

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

Ellis Olsen was very proud: “My uncle probably wants to take you in as his goddaughter. With the Olsen Family backing you, you can strut around Oceanion!”

Keira Olsen smiled, “Well, thanks for that!”

Ellis Olsen excitedly stood up, only to hear the girl add, “But really, it’s not necessary. Having my mom is enough for me.”

Ellis Olsen: ???

He blinked, stunned, then his face darkened. “Keira Olsen, are you freaking rejecting a favor here? Do you know how many people in Crera would kill to get close to my uncle? This is the first time he’s ever willingly offered a favor to someone!”

Keira Olsen seriously suggested, “Then we shouldn’t let him be so humbled.”

Ellis Olsen: !!

Why do her words irritate him so much!

He almost jumped, “Why are you so ungrateful!”

Keira Olsen spread her hands, “I’m my mother’s daughter, can’t help it.”

Ellis Olsen: ???

He stared at Keira Olsen, then glanced at Mrs. Olsen, and finally understood, “All this time talking about your mom, turns out you’re a mama’s girl!”

Instead of getting angry, Keira Olsen’s eyes brightened upon hearing this and suddenly felt a sense of happiness and security, so she smiled sweetly.

Ellis Olsen: “…” How lacking in love is she to be so content just by having her mom around? It’s unbearable to watch!

Then he heard the girl’s voice, cold yet full of excitement, “Young Master Olsen, is there anything else? If not, please don’t disturb my mom’s rest. She just woke up and her body can’t take much.”

“…”

So Ellis Olsen was kicked out of the hospital room and stood at the doorway, looking at the girl inside. She didn’t have that prickly aura she had when they first met; she appeared entirely gentle and adorable.

“Mom, would you like some water?”

“Mom, it’s time for your medicine…”

“Mom…”

The constant call for ‘mom’ made Ellis Olsen think of his five-year-old nephew, who would endlessly chant “mama” at home, and his sister-in-law, driven crazy by it every day.

But Mrs. Olsen always looked at her warmly and smiled, not showing the slightest impatience.

Ellis Olsen dragged his feet dejectedly back to the hotel, entered Uncle Olsen’s room, and then started pacing while recounting how “unrecognizable” Keira Olsen was. He finished off huffily, “Uncle, she’s not even your daughter, no need to spoil her!”

Unexpectedly, this made Uncle Olsen laugh: “Her manner, so much like Miss South’s.”

A shiver of foreboding ran through Ellis Olsen and sure enough, the next moment, his uncle said, “Since she refuses to meet me, then I guess I’ll have to go see her.”

Ellis Olsen was stunned, “Where will you find her?”

Uncle Olsen thought for a moment, then smiled suddenly, “I can’t go to the Olson’s, but the Horton Family? Why shouldn’t I visit them? I heard their old lady is sick, I’ll visit tomorrow.”

Ellis Olsen: !
