How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 216 - Chapter 216 Chapter 216

Chapter 216: Chapter 216 Chapter 216: Chapter 216 Keira Olsen stood silently outside Old Mrs. Horton’s sickroom.

When Selena Horton and Researcher Hill opened the door and saw her, Selena smiled and said, “Little Auntie, is there something you need?”

Keira Olsen calmly replied, “I have something to discuss with Grandma, could you please step aside?”

The look in Selena Horton’s eyes flickered upon hearing this.

Then she laughed and said, “Researcher Hill is currently conducting a physical examination on Great-Grandma and recording data, so it’s not really convenient right now!”

“Is that so?”

Keira Olsen’s eyes turned colder as she looked towards Researcher Hill.

Clutching a notebook, Researcher Hill arrogantly nodded at her, “Yes, please forgive Mrs. Horton.”

Keira Olsen let out a cold laugh.

Selena Horton then looked towards the room, her gaze suddenly settling on a potted flower on the balcony. She smiled and said to Researcher Hill, “Can a Clivia be placed in Great-Grandma’s sickroom?”

The moment these words were spoken, Fiona immediately said with a tension in her voice, “That Clivia is Old Mrs. Horton’s favorite flower, and this one is of exceptional quality! If it were sold, it would be worth millions!”

Selena Horton’s gaze fluttered.

Of course, she knew that–she remembered that the Cobb family’s matriarch also favored Clivia. Giving her this Clivia would be perfect…

With that thought in mind, Selena Horton gave Researcher Hill a meaningful look.

Researcher Hill coughed and said, “Indeed, having a Clivia in the room isn’t very good, it affects Old Mrs. Horton’s rest, and it could also interfere with our data collection.”

Immediately, Selena Horton said, “Then let’s move it to my room for now.”

She waved her hand, and the nanny left in the room by the first branch of the family to take her orders quickly moved to relocate the flower.

A troubled look appeared on Fiona’s face as she sought help by looking towards Keira Olsen.

Keira Olsen lowered her gaze, thinking that this Selena Horton truly was a bully relying on the backing of others.

A single Clivia had no impact whatsoever on Grandma’s condition; she just wanted to make such a high-sounding excuse to take possession of Grandma’s things, didn’t she?

However… she touched her chin and pondered for a moment before stepping aside.

If it were moved to her room first, what does it matter? It still wouldn’t leave the Horton family!

She would wait until she had clarified whether Corey Mills and Researcher Hill were colluding, and then she would decide what to do about this matter.

Seeing that Keira Olsen remained silent, Fiona could only suppress her distress and watch helplessly as they moved the flower, “Be careful with it, that flower is very delicate…”

Selena Horton greedily watched the Clivia.

No wonder her father always told her she must ingratiate herself with Old Mrs. Horton, the founder of Horton Group, who also held shares in Horton Group, bringing in large dividends every year.

Her private wealth was uncountable, and just a little from between her fingers would be enough to show off!

Thinking this, Selena Horton glanced around the room.

She had just taken a tour here, and although it was just a bedroom, there were many valuable items!

An invaluable jade bracelet carelessly placed on the washroom counter by Old Mrs. Horton, such profligacy!

Selena Horton smiled and said, “Let me tidy up the room for Great-Grandma to prevent Researcher Hill from accidentally damaging her things…”

She called another nanny in and pointed at various valuable items in the room, “This one, that one, plus this one, this one… Temporarily take these to my room. I’ll keep them safe for Great-Grandma.”

Keira Olsen just watched as she cleared out Old Mrs. Horton’s room of valuable items, thinking this person was really short of insight!

Fiona couldn’t help but feel sympathy for old Mrs. Horton, “Ah, there’s really no need for this… I can keep watch for old Mrs. Horton, there’s no need for you!”

Selena Horton looked at her gently, “Fiona, I know you take care of Grandma’s things, but after all, you are an outsider, and I am a Horton…”

After saying this, Selena Horton suddenly turned her gaze to old Mrs. Horton’s safe, and she looked at Researcher Hill, “Does this safe emit radiation? Isn’t it also bad to keep it in this room?”

Researcher Hill laughed, “Dementia is mainly a brain issue, and I see we have an electroencephalogram recorder here, which we can use just fine. Metallic objects like a safe are best not kept in the bedroom.”

Selena Horton immediately called someone over, “Then move this to my room as well.”

Fiona blocked the path to the safe, “Miss Horton, you’re going too far!”

Selena Horton spoke up, “I’m doing all this for Grandma’s health. Fiona, as a housemaid, don’t you want her to wake up as soon as possible? Or is it that you did something, stole Grandma’s things, which is why she doesn’t dare wake up?”

Fiona was struck dumb by this remark!

She had followed old Mrs. Horton for so many years, and this was the first time she was accused of theft!

She looked at Selena Horton in astonishment and turned to Kiera with a wronged expression, “Mrs. Olsen, I didn’t…”

Kiera Olsen walked over and took her hand, “I know, don’t worry.”

Fiona’s eyes reddened, and she lowered her voice, “The documents in this safe are too important, they can’t take them away.”

Kiera Olsen’s gaze flickered and she nodded.

Then she turned back to Selena Horton and said softly, “The safe is too heavy, you probably won’t be able to move it…”

Selena Horton scoffed, “I’ll call the security guards to move it.”

Kiera Olsen raised an eyebrow.

It didn’t take long for Selena Horton to call two security guards in.

As soon as the security guards heard the order and turned their heads to see Kiera Olsen standing jovially by the safe, their legs went soft with fright. Then they stammered, looking at Selena Horton, “Miss Horton, the safe is too heavy, we can’t lift it.”

Selena Horton: ?

Kiera Olsen still looked at her, “If you want this safe, you and Researcher Hill come and lift it.”

“…”

Selena Horton’s face kept its smile as she said cheerfully, “The safe probably doesn’t have much radiation, let’s forget about it.”

Kiera Olsen let out a scoff.

Meanwhile, in the parking lot.

Nathan Horton and Oliver Horton had already arrived.

Nathan Horton immediately greeted Uncle Olsen with a smile, “Uncle Olsen, your visit truly graces our humble dwelling.”

Uncle Olsen smiled at him, and then said indifferently, “Since I’ve heard that Mrs. Olsen’s daughter, Keira Olsen, has married Lewis Horton, it’s only right and proper for me to come and see old Mrs. Horton and also to see how Keira is doing here.”

At these words, Nathan Horton and Oliver Horton’s expressions stiffened.

The two men exchanged glances.

Uncle Olsen noticing the fear in their eyes, asked coldly, “What? Is that a problem?”

Thinking of his recent confrontations with Keira Olsen and having insulted her mother, Oliver couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, “What are you saying? Of course, it’s possible… Please, after you… after you…”

Uncle Olsen narrowed his eyes and, while walking towards old Mrs. Horton’s courtyard, casually said to Lewis Horton, “Mrs. Olsen and I are old classmates, and her daughter, I’ve come today to take her as my goddaughter…”
