Goddaughter!

Oliver Horton’s forehead was covered in even more cold sweat.

If Keira Olsen had such a powerful backer, what hope was there left for their first branch of the family?!

Where on earth did Lewis Horton find such a wife? She was an illegitimate daughter, but her status had suddenly soared!

He looked to Nathan Horton for help.

But he saw Nathan Horton cough lightly and suddenly said, “Send a message to Selena, tell her to tidy up old Mrs. Horton’s room a bit and wait quietly for the honored guest to arrive.”

Oliver immediately understood his intention and quickly took out his phone to send a message to Selena Horton!

Then he heard Lewis Horton speak up, “Is Uncle Olsen dining at home tonight?”

“No,” Uncle Olsen said slowly, “I heard there’s a famous private kitchen in Oceanion called Fragrance House, and Ellis has booked a place.”

Lewis Horton nodded nonchalantly and looked toward the courtyard ahead.

He had seen everything of Uncle Olsen’s affection for Mrs. Olsen, and his unilateral protection of Isla Olsen at the beginning was actually quite touching.

He knew that Keira Olsen didn’t care about any of these.

But after all, Uncle Olsen was half a mentor to Lewis Horton, who also did not want to put him in a difficult position.

If he wanted to meet her, then let him meet her!

A group of people marched grandly into old Mrs. Horton’s courtyard; only Jake Horton was left sitting forlornly alone in the living room.

No one paid him any attention as they went straight to old Mrs. Horton’s bedroom.

As Lewis Horton pushed open the door, Uncle Olsen’s gaze immediately swept inside.

Yet he saw only Researcher Hill, a man, and the fifty-year-old maid Fiona in the room–apart from these two, there was no one else.

Uncle Olsen was slightly startled and frowned.

Lewis Horton also looked at Fiona with confusion, “Where is the lady of the house?”

Fiona began to speak, “Just now Miss Selena said that old Mrs. Horton was missing a medicine, so she took the lady of the house to go buy it.”

Hearing this, Oliver breathed a huge sigh of relief!

The message he had just sent to Selena was not actually to welcome any honored guest, it was to send Keira Olsen away, to make sure she wouldn’t run into Uncle Olsen.

After all, this was the Horton Family residence, what if Keira Olsen complained to Uncle Olsen and he had an outburst on the spot?!

The Horton Family did have a considerable gap compared to the Clance Olsen Family, and moreover Uncle Olsen was famously powerful in both the legitimate and underworld scenes!

It was better that Keira Olsen was not here…

He directly spoke up, “That is really unfortunate…”

Meanwhile, Lewis Horton chuckled coldly.

Uncle Olsen also narrowed his eyes, looking slightly displeased as he asked, “How long will they be back from buying the medicines?”

Before Fiona could speak, Researcher Hill laughed, “I need quite a lot of medicines here, and they probably can’t buy them all in one pharmacy, so it will be later…”

Uncle Olsen snorted coldly but still suppressed the anger in his heart.

After looking at old Mrs. Horton and exchanging a few words with Lewis Horton, he did not linger and got straight into the car and left: “Go to Fragrance House.”

…

Elsewhere, Keira Olsen’s arm was suddenly grabbed by Selena Horton, and she was taken out the back door, then roundabout to various pharmacies to pick up medicines.

By the time they reached the third pharmacy, Keira Olsen casually opened her mouth, “Uncle Olsen has left already, can we go back now?”

Selena Horton’s body stiffened slightly, “Little auntie, what are you talking about? I don’t understand…”

Keira Olsen scoffed, “This suitcase of yours, it’s even bigger than Isla’s, isn’t it?”

Selena Horton was stunned, “What?”

“You’re more packed up than she is!”

“””

“…”

Selena Horton was scolded but didn’t get angry, still smiling amiably, “Auntie, I really am looking for medicine for Grandma. If you don’t want to follow, then go ahead, I can go by myself.”

Keira Olsen didn’t bother to argue with her anymore and turned around to leave the pharmacy.

She checked the time, hailed a cab by the roadside, and headed to Fragrance House.

Selena Horton, with the medicine stolen by Researcher Hill, did whatever she wanted in the Horton Family. She had to be put in her place.

However, the pressing matter was to see if there was any connection between Researcher Hill stealing the medicine and Corey Mills.

If Corey Mills was also involved, he could kiss his position as dean goodbye!

With this thought, Keira Olsen had arrived at Fragrance House.

As soon as she entered, she saw Corey Mills sitting at the public dining table outside, waiting for her listlessly.

Keira Olsen walked straight over to him.

Corey Mills was a middle-aged man, around forty, whose long-term research work made his complexion a bit pale; he was somewhat overweight, which made him seem younger than he was.

Corey Mills stood up with a smile, “Director Nora, you’ve finally arrived!”

Keira Olsen sat down opposite him.

Corey Mills handed her a box of medicine directly, “Here’s the medicine you requested.”

Then he took out a printed document and handed it to her.

It was the list of all case files their institute had received for selection, with each person’s basic health condition clearly described.

Corey Mills said, “These are the people who meet our screening criteria. Take a look and decide who you want to select.”

Keira Olsen looked at him, “Dean Mills, is there a researcher named Lee at the Clance Research Institute?”

Corey Mills was taken aback, “There are several Lees, which one are you talking about?”

Keira Olsen looked into his eyes, “The one related to the Cobb family.”

Corey Mills’s eyes were clear, showing no sign of lying, “Oh, you mean Logan Lee? He’s been busy at the institute lately and just took a ten-day annual leave!”

Seeing that he was completely unaware, Keira Olsen sneered, “Then are you aware that he’s now in Oceanion?”

Corey Mills was startled, “What? He’s in Oceanion? Is he here on vacation? I really didn’t know about this…”

Realizing something was amiss, he inquired anxiously, “Director Nora, has something happened?”

Keira Olsen scoffed, “It’s just that the Horton Family has suddenly received a new visitor, claiming to have secured an experimental spot and is now strutting around the Horton house!”

Corey Mills stood up abruptly, “How could that be! The spots haven’t been opened to the public yet, how did he get one?!”

Keira Olsen looked at him, silent.

Cold sweat immediately began streaming down Corey Mills’s forehead, “Director Nora, I get your point. I’ll start looking into it right now!”

With that, he didn’t even dare to stop for his meal and hurriedly left to investigate the matter.

Keira Olsen, however, leisurely remained seated.

Since she was there, she might as well eat before leaving.

Her seat just happened to face the entrance of the restaurant, so she enjoyed her meal while watching the scenery outside.

Suddenly, a black luxury car stopped outside the door.

Immediately thereafter, a man wearing a black cloak strode in.

Keira Olsen watched him with curiosity.

The man exuded a cold and tough demeanor, appearing to be in his forties or fifties, radiating a mature charm. What a handsome uncle!

Keira Olsen found him quite pleasing to the eye and took a couple of extra looks.

Uncle Olsen, who had just entered, quickly caught sight of this gaze and immediately turned his head to look over, only to spot a young lady looking at him with appreciation.

However, when Uncle Olsen saw her face clearly, he suddenly froze in place!!
