How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire-Chapter 211 -
Chapter 211: Chapter 211
Chapter 211 -211
Kiera Olsen didn’t leave the hospital room that night.
Even when Taylor Olsen came back in the evening and Jodie South told her to return to the Horton family, Kiera Olsen didn’t agree.
It wasn’t until the next morning that Jodie South had fully recovered.
After Kiera Olsen handled her discharge procedures, she took her back to the Olsen family. Then, Jodie South again pressured her to return to the Horton family.
Old Mrs. Horton was still gravely ill, and Kiera Olsen had many concerns in her heart. Seeing that Jodie South looked well and likely wouldn’t fall ill again, Kiera finally returned to the Horton family.
When she arrived at old Mrs. Horton’s courtyard, Kiera Olsen noticed that Nathan Horton, Oliver Horton, and Jake Horton were still guarding the place, and she immediately spotted an added woman in the living room.
Oliver Horton was speaking affectionately with the girl, who was sitting next to Jake Horton as he looked at her almost as if his eyes were spitting fire!
Kiera Olsen immediately understood that this girl must be Selena Horton.
She and Oliver Horton had a striking resemblance, and she looked just like siblings with Jake Horton.
Oliver Horton was complaining, “…They say that Isla Olsen has been sent to a psychiatric hospital. I don’t even know if it’s still possible to sign the divorce papers. This marriage has completely disgraced our family!”
Selena Horton was laughing while trying to console him, “Dad, you can sue for divorce now. Her having a mental illness amounts to concealment of facts before marriage. Just sue, and the court usually grants the divorce. Don’t worry. Besides, Jake is the legitimate eldest grandson of our Horton family. How could he marry such a lowly woman?”
With that, Oliver Horton exclaimed, “Who else in Oceanion could compare to our Horton family!”
Selena Horton laughingly said, “I’ve married into Clance. I’ll keep an eye out for Jake.”
Jake Horton immediately looked at her and coldly said, “No need!”
Before Selena Horton could reply, Oliver Horton scolded furiously, “You ungrateful creature, how can you speak to your sister like that? She’s so concerned about you, and yet you disrespect her like this!”
Jake Horton was about to speak, but Selena Horton already patted Oliver Horton’s chest, “Dad, don’t be angry. Jake is young and doesn’t understand, I won’t hold it against him…”
Oliver Horton immediately nodded, “Selena, you’re so sensible. I’ve already discussed it with your grandfather. This time when you come back, you’ll stay at the Horton’s!”
Selena Horton, smiling radiantly yet strategically retreating, responded, “Never mind that, Dad. It’s not appropriate for me to stay at home… Besides, Jake doesn’t want to see me; I don’t want to cause any conflicts.”
Jake Horton was slightly stunned upon hearing this.
Oliver Horton directly said, “You are my daughter, how is it not appropriate? If Jake Horton dares disrespect you, I’ll be the first to not spare him!”
Kiera Olsen was not interested in these affairs of the first branch of the family, and she headed straight for old Mrs. Horton’s bedroom, intending to check how the old lady was faring.
However, Selena Horton, changing her tone, directly started targeting her, “Actually, I have an idea that could avoid conflicts with Jake. It’s just that I’m not sure if my small aunt would agree?”
Kiera Olsen: ?
She slightly paused, then turned her head and frowned at her.
Selena Horton, who was about 26 years old and older than Kiera Olsen, used the term “small aunt” quite clearly.
She looked at Kiera Olsen with a smiling face, “I want to move into Great Grandmother’s courtyard to better care for her. I wonder if my small aunt would find it inconvenient?”
Upon hearing this, Oliver Horton immediately glanced at Nathan Horton, then smilingly said, “Your young uncle also stays here, it might not be very appropriate for a girl like you, right?”
Selena Horton sighed, “That’s true. My young uncle and I are about the same age, and he and my small aunt are newlyweds after all… So what should we do?”
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Nathan Horton directly looked at Kiera Olsen, “You pack up and move to the main house with Lewis Horton, and leave this small courtyard to Selena Horton.”
Keira Olsen’s eyes suddenly sharpened.
She immediately looked at Selena Horton and suddenly understood the first branch of the family’s thinking.
Grandma Horton suffered from dementia; her mind was unclear at times and lucid at others. If Selena was in charge of this courtyard’s situation, who knew what might happen to the shares under Grandma Horton’s name without her and Lewis Horton knowing? Selena might have deceived her!
This Selena Horton indeed had a few more tricks up her sleeve than Jake Horton.

Keira Olsen was uneasy about leaving Grandma Horton in the hands of such a scheming woman, so she spoke directly, “Sorry, it’s not possible.”
Nathan Horton furrowed his brow, and in his hand, the teacup he was about to drink from was hurled directly at Keira Olsen: “Who gave you permission to speak to me like that?!”
Keira Olsen slightly dodged to the side, and the teacup brushed past her, then smashed on the ground behind her.
Nathan Horton pointed at her and scolded, “Coming from a small family, you really have no upbringing! Your grandmother is still seriously ill, yet you didn’t come home all night! Do you even care about the elderly in your heart? I wasn’t negotiating with you just now; I was commanding you! You will pack your things right now and move to the main house! From now on, Selena will be fully in charge of this courtyard!”
Keira Olsen frowned but did not move.
Oliver Horton immediately frowned and angrily said, “Keira Olsen, how dare you defy Dad’s orders! In this house, the man is the head!”
Selena Horton also hesitated and said, “Little aunt, Great Grandmother is also my family. You don’t think I would take poor care of Great Grandmother, do you?”
Oliver Horton immediately scoffed, “How could she question you? You were the one who got Grandma that important clinical trial slot. You are now the biggest hero in this house!”
Selena Horton waved her hand, “Dad, don’t talk about heroes or not, I’m just doing my duty.”
She then earnestly looked at Keira Olsen, “Little aunt, it is not that I want to live here, but I have no choice. Since Great Grandmother is using an unmarketed medication, the lab in Clance must come in person to take samples from her because they need ongoing observational data.
They agreed to give us a slot partly because of the Cobb family’s influence. Once people arrive, they need to monitor Great Grandmother’s reactions constantly; they will definitely need to stay in this courtyard. It’s inconvenient for you and Uncle Lewis to stay here, since these are my friends, it’s better for me to host them! You and Uncle Lewis would understand, right?”
Keira Olsen looked at her and snorted coldly, “The Clance lab would never grant slots based on relationships. You really think highly of yourself!”
The list of applicants from Clance was sent to her last night; she was still in the selection phase, and Selena Horton couldn’t possibly have really called people over.
But once she said this, Oliver Horton became furious, “Keira Olsen, what do you know? Selena’s fiancé is from the Cobb Family in Clance! Do you even understand the power and position of the five major families of Clance? A mere laboratory can’t refuse us!”
Nathan Horton also spoke coldly: “I’ve always said Lewis Horton’s wife isn’t up to it. Coming from a small background, do you really think the world is all about fairness? You’ve never seen top-level power; you’re just naive!”
Oliver Horton sighed, “This reminds me of a story. It’s said that ancient farmers were chatting in the field, guessing what kind of life the emperor lived. Guess what they said?”
Selena Horton patronized, “What did they say?”
“They said the emperor must use a golden hoe for farming, and he probably eats nothing but large servings of polished rice and white buns, eating one bowl and dumping another…”
After Oliver Horton finished, he looked sarcastically at Keira Olsen, “Lewis’s wife, you understand nothing, better not to embarrass yourself here!”
Keira Olsen felt mocked.
These wealthy capitalists, do they really think that money allows them to do anything they want?
Nathan Horton furrowed his brow: “Hair long, understanding short! I really don’t know how Lewis Horton ever fell for someone unremarkable like you! I’ve always said marriages should be between equals. With the way you are, Lewis Horton will tire of you sooner or later!”
Oliver Horton also threatened, “Keira Olsen, I’d advise you to just obey Dad’s orders. That way, you’ll have some support in this family. Otherwise, if Lewis Horton wants to divorce you, it will just be a matter of a contract! With your family’s lack of power and influence, even if he kicked you out penniless, nobody would back you up!”
As Keira Olsen was about to retort, a cold voice suddenly came from the doorway: “Who said she doesn’t have anyone backing her?!”
