How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 266 - Chapter 266 Chapter 266

Chapter 266: Chapter 266 Chapter 266: Chapter 266 In the car, Taylor Olsen saw Jodie South’s stern face and fierce gaze fixed on him and gave a soft chuckle, “Shirley, I know you’re sad, angry, but we must make an appearance for Kiera’s final journey. Please stop frowning, okay?”

He reached out to smooth the furrow in her brow and then diverted her gaze elsewhere.

He then silently sighed upon noticing her fists clenched tightly.

He knew Jodie South was still resisting him, still furious…

As long as it didn’t show on her face, that was enough.

The Olsen Family’s car soon arrived at the Horton residence and, upon parking, Taylor Olsen lifted a wheelchair from the car and set Jodie South into it.

Taylor brought Mrs. Olsen towards the direction of the wake.

Along the way, those who saw them greeted them and expressed their condolences to Mrs. Olsen.

Taylor would quietly sigh in return, “Shirley is heartbroken, out of strength…”

The others immediately responded, “Mrs. Olsen, Mrs. Horton, if she were here, would definitely not want to see you hurt your body like this; please try to let go a little…”

No one suspected that Taylor Olsen had done anything to her.

Because the whole of Oceanion knew that Taylor Olsen was a model husband!

His public persona had been maintained for twenty-two years and four months and would no longer arouse anyone’s suspicion!

Jodie South observed the people around her. As long as she showed an angry demeanor, those people came to comfort her…

Taylor escorted her swiftly to the wake.

The first thing Jodie South’s eyes landed on at the wake was the Horton family’s servants putting up a black and white photograph of Kiera Olsen.

Someone explained on the side, “Mr. Horton has been reluctant to admit Mrs. Horton’s passing, so he disagreed with putting up the photo. Today, with the burial proceeding, he finally gave in. Sigh! Mr. Horton is also a deeply passionate man…”

Taylor squatted beside Jodie South, saw her gaze fixed on the photo, and laughed outright, “Shirley, are you thinking that Uncle Olsen will give himself away when he sees this photo?”

Jodie South’s eyes turned towards him.

Taylor said indifferently, “He won’t come today because you sent him a message yesterday telling him you’d be here and asked him not to show up.”

Upon hearing this, Jodie South was immediately stunned.

Her phone had been under strict control; how could she have sent a message?

So, this was another one of Taylor’s doings!

He killed Kiera and now prevented Uncle Olsen from coming… All of this enraged her, made her furious–she wanted to bite his flesh, drink his blood!!

Just then, a disturbance came from the doorway.

Jodie South looked up to see Lewis Horton, who hadn’t appeared for the past three days, standing outside the door.

The once proud and spirited Lewis was now no longer himself, appearing defeated and emaciated.

He had locked himself in his study since returning the previous night.

He stared at the corpse on the desk and the DNA test report with Kiera Olsen’s name confirmed as the deceased.

He stared for a long, long time until the dawn light, only then realizing that perhaps Kiera Olsen truly had vanished from this world, hadn’t she?

His heart turned to ashes…

He even contemplated following her in death!

But he couldn’t do that; he still had his grandmother!

He saw his grandmother’s white hair, her frail figure, the deep concern and sorrow in her eyes.

In her lifetime, his grandmother bid farewell to her husband, bore the betrayal of her son, and raised him, and now she couldn’t properly mourn for her granddaughter-in-law’s death because she had to worry about him!

Lewis understood that his current state would only cause joy to his foes and pain to his loved ones!

So there he stood today.

For the first time, he looked towards Kiera Olsen’s wake.

He saw her black and white photograph, the girl beaming beautifully…

Scenes from their first encounters flashed through his mind.

At the Olsen house, the girl ran up to him, her eyebrows lifted in a teasing manner as she called out, “Husband?”

At the company, the girl stood defiant in her delivery uniform, “Mr. Horton, surely the Horton Group isn’t discriminating against couriers, right?”

At the restaurant dressed as a chef, she looked at him smilingly, “Mr. Horton, do you have time to look it up at the courthouse?”

“Mr. Horton…”

“Mr. Horton…”

And when she was occasionally mad, calling out his full name: “Lewis, Horton!”

Her clear voice still rang in his ears, yet that girl lay still in the cold ice coffin, unrecognizable!!

Lewis stared blankly ahead.

The people around greeted each other warmly, but he remained silent throughout.

At this time, Kiera Olsen and Howard also entered the door.

Kiera Olsen still wore a mask and a duckbill cap. As soon as they came in, Howard spotted Lewis Horton and immediately grabbed Kiera, pointing at him, “Look quick, isn’t that the guy who harassed you last night?”

Kiera Olsen subtly avoided his tug.

Her gaze searched the room for Mrs. Olsen, and soon she saw Mrs. Olsen with a joyful expression and quickly walked over.

Howard was about to speak when he turned his head and saw she was gone. Frowning, he was about to look for her when he heard someone next to him pointing at Lewis Horton saying, “Mr. Horton has really gone mad… he doesn’t say a word…”

Howard was slightly stunned.

He looked at Lewis Horton with a sense of shock.

Last night’s man was Lewis Horton?!

The patriarch of Oceanion’s wealthiest family, Lewis Horton?!

Was it him who bothered his wife last night?

As Howard was still in a daze, he suddenly heard someone say nearby:

“Today Mrs. Horton’s will was finally put up, huh? It’s always been so mysterious, and she rarely showed her face in public. No wonder Mr. Horton can’t stop thinking about her…”

As a man, upon hearing such words, Howard looked curiously at the black and white photo hanging in the center of the mourning hall.

Upon seeing it, he was completely dumbfounded.

He exclaimed, “This, this, Keera?”

Wasn’t that his wife?!

Elsewhere.

Kiera Olsen had already taken the opportunity to walk over to Taylor Olsen and Jodie South while he and Lewis Horton were distracted.

Jodie South’s gaze almost immediately locked onto her!

Kiera!

That figure, she couldn’t mistake it!

That was her daughter, Kiera Olsen!

Her eyes were filled with eager warmth, but just before Kiera approached, Taylor Olsen intercepted her, sneering, “Miss, did Uncle Olsen send you again today?”

Kiera Olsen pursed her lips, “Yes, Uncle Olsen asked me to come to say goodbye to Mrs. Olsen and to express my respect.”

Taylor Olsen prevented her from getting too close, lest she notice any slips, “I appreciate Uncle Olsen’s concern for my wife.”

Taylor Olsen wanted to say more, but someone approached and said, “Mr. Olsen, my condolences!”

Taylor Olsen’s attention was diverted.

Kiera Olsen took the opportunity to crouch down and looked at Jodie South, lowering her voice, “Mom, how are you?”

Mom…

Jodie South’s eyes brimmed with tears, rolling down endlessly!

But she couldn’t speak; she could only look at Kiera Olsen with emotion.

She tried to move her lips hard, wanting to stick out her tongue to make a sound, but she had no strength, she simply couldn’t muster any!

Kiera Olsen was startled, “What’s wrong with you?”

Taylor Olsen’s voice came over, “Shirley is overly grief-stricken, she’s had a stroke… she needs a good rest, sigh!”

A stroke?

Kiera Olsen was extremely surprised, tears forming in her eyes.

It was all her fault for not acknowledging her mother in time, causing her to suffer so much…

Kiera Olsen looked at Jodie South, “You must get better…”

Jodie South did not speak, continuing to look at her.

Kiera Olsen knew she was excited, so she took her hand, and just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt the piece of paper in the palm of her hand!

Kiera Olsen was stunned!!

She had left this piece of paper as a last resort, giving her mother a chance to seek help from the outside world. She never expected this opportunity would actually be used by Jodie South!!

Kiera Olsen’s gaze suddenly sharpened.

She quietly concealed the paper in her hand and then got up as if nothing had happened, casually walking away as Taylor Olsen looked over cautiously.

She quickly reached the corner, looked around, and finding the place empty.

Only then did she immediately open the piece of paper to see eight words written on it: Taylor Olsen is the murderer, save me!
