How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 229 - Chapter 229 Chapter 229

Chapter 229: Chapter 229 Chapter 229: Chapter 229 Keira Olsen suddenly turned her head around, unable to believe what she was seeing as she looked toward Lewis Horton.

How did he know?!

Her astonished expression made Lewis Horton’s eyes darken slightly; he looked down and said, “It really is you.”

Keira Olsen: “…”

She had actually been tricked by this guy.

Outrageous!

Keira Olsen sneered coldly, “Since you know, I’m not going to be polite. One portion of the medication for a three percent share in the company, don’t forget to transfer it!”

“Alright.”

Lewis Horton’s response was crisp and direct.

Keira Olsen: ?

She looked at him incredulously: “No way? You’re not even bargaining?”

Lewis Horton took a deep breath and said, “Keira, thank you.”

Keira Olsen felt slightly uncomfortable: “Thanks for what?”

Lewis Horton said indifferently, “The Alzheimer’s disease research project by Nora Researcher had been at a standstill and only restarted this year. I assume it was for grandma, right?”

He took Keira Olsen’s hand, “Keira, you’re really good to me.”

Keira Olsen coughed, “Don’t be so cheesy.”

She pulled her hand back, “Grandma has been so good to me; I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. Besides, I also wanted to find out the truth about our marriage certificate.”

Lewis Horton paused upon hearing this.

He had originally intended to thoroughly investigate it.

But so much time had passed, there was no trace of the events from back then, and he had almost forgotten about it recently.

He inquired, “Did grandma remember?”

“Yeah, she remembered,” said Keira Olsen, raising an eyebrow, “Impressive drugs, huh?”

“Impressive.”

Lewis Horton was amused by her manner but then suddenly worried–what if the truth hurt their relationship?

He hesitated for a moment before asking suddenly, “What really happened with our marriage back then, does it still matter to you?”

Keira Olsen was stunned: “Of course it matters.”

Getting a marriage certificate requires the presence of both parties, and both of them are sound of mind, with no disabilities, so a proxy marriage was out of the question.

What exactly had happened back then, could they have been tricked…

Moreover, with Keira Olsen’s unique identity, could Nora’s identity have been discovered? And then someone wanted to use the Horton family against her?

Her contemplative look made Lewis Horton’s heart sink, “Then… do you still want a divorce?”

The elephant in the room between them had yet to be addressed, even though Lewis Horton had publicly acknowledged Keira Olsen’s identity, he had never made any lifelong commitment.

At this moment, Lewis Horton was a bit nervous.

When Keira Olsen heard this, she also paused slightly.

Indeed, she hadn’t thought about divorce for a long time…

Even the issue of the company going public, Samuel Morgan was continuously pushing forward. After the company’s IPO, as the chairwoman, she wouldn’t be able to divorce so easily.

Keira Olsen coughed and countered with a question, “What about you?”

Lewis Horton didn’t know how to answer.

He could use grandma to keep her for a month, but if there was no real affection between them, he couldn’t keep her for a lifetime.

Especially with her multiple identities…

The fact that she was Nora Researcher was indeed shocking.

Lewis Horton finally spoke, “Of course I don’t want to.”

“What?”

Keira Olsen didn’t catch that clearly.

Lewis Horton was about to repeat himself when Keira Olsen’s phone chimed.

She picked it up and saw that the Handsome Uncle she added yesterday had sent her a message: “Kid, the trick you taught me yesterday doesn’t seem to work very well?”

Keira Olsen couldn’t help but laugh: “What happened?”

Handsome Uncle: “I sent the flowers, but they still ignored me. Do I need to send something else?”

Keira Olsen thought about it, then turned her head to look at Lewis Horton, “If you angered me, how would you appease me?”

Lewis Horton: ?

He thought for a moment, “Beg for forgiveness? If you don’t forgive me, I’ll just keep waiting outside the door.”

Keira Olsen: …

That’s a senior, definitely not appropriate.

As expected, can’t rely on him.

Keira Olsen continued to devise plans for Handsome Uncle: “Maybe send jewelry?”

Handsome Uncle: “I’ll try that.”

After putting down the phone, Keira Olsen then looked back at Lewis Horton, “What were you saying just now?”

Lewis Horton: “…”

He said indifferently, “It’s nothing.”

Meanwhile, Fiona finished inspecting Selena Horton’s luggage and in the end, didn’t let her take anything away.

Ultimately, Selena Horton left the house cursing and swearing with Oliver Horton.

After the two left the living room, Selena Horton stopped, turned back, and looked towards Old Mrs. Horton’s yard.

The grievances and humiliation on her face had all disappeared, replaced by a calm and collected expression.

Oliver Horton said by her side, “Selena, the room in the main courtyard is ready for you. You can’t leave, you still have to help Dad, think of a way on how to snatch the position of the head of the family!”

Selena Horton nodded calmly.

She asked directly, “Dad, this Keira Olsen has some background.”

“Why do you say that?”

“The way Corey Mills speaks to her is too polite, it’s strange.”

Oliver Horton immediately said, “She is the illegitimate daughter of the Olsen Family, only recently found to have been switched at birth, just acknowledged… Oh right, only the Clance Olsen Family is very polite to her, that Corey Mills, probably someone the Clance Olsen Family found for her. Yesterday Uncle Olsen even said he wants to acknowledge her as his goddaughter…”

As Oliver Horton spoke up to this point, he became worried, “Originally, with your marriage alliance to the Cobb family, our first branch gained an advantage. But if she connects with the Olsen Family, we lose that edge!”

Upon hearing this, Selena Horton nodded, “I understand. Dad, don’t worry, I’ll think of something.”

Oliver Horton sighed in relief.

He cherished this illegitimate daughter, not because he liked her mother.

After all, in a family like theirs, the son inherits the business.

It was merely because from a young age, this daughter has always been very clever. Listening to her, Oliver Horton always reaped benefits.

Suppressing Lewis Horton to death since childhood and making him hide abroad until he came back this year, were all this daughter’s ideas.

It was just because the daughter went to study in Clance and wasn’t there, that Lewis Horton caught him off guard.

Now, the daughter has returned.

The real contest has just begun!

…

Mr. Horton and Old Mrs. Horton seemed to have endless topics to discuss, talking for a full hour before, urged by the second branch of the family, they finally parted.

Mr. Horton reluctantly was escorted to the guest room to rest.

Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton finally entered Old Mrs. Horton’s bedroom.

After sending Fiona to guard the door, Keira Olsen then turned to ask Old Mrs. Horton, “Grandma, are you tired? Do you want to talk tomorrow instead?”

Old Mrs. Horton knew what she was thinking and immediately took hold of her hand, “Not tired, if we don’t talk now, I’m afraid I might forget by tomorrow when I wake up.”

Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton sat by her bedside, listening as Old Mrs. Horton began to recount slowly…
