How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 295 - Chapter 295 Chapter 294

Chapter 295: Chapter 294 Chapter 295: Chapter 294 Ellis Olsen walked into the study and pushed open the door, shouting directly, “Uncle…”

But he was met with the “shush” from Uncle Olsen’s assistant.

Ellis Olsen was slightly stunned and, following the assistant’s gaze, he then saw Uncle Olsen lying on the sofa, asleep.

He hadn’t seen him for a month, and Uncle Olsen had lost weight all over. His cheeks were hollowed in, and his closed eyes exuded a deep sense of fatigue.

There was stubble on his chin, his face looked dirty, and it seemed he simply hadn’t had time to wash…

Ellis Olsen asked in a low voice, “Why is he so tired?”

The assistant gestured for him to come out, and they left the study. The assistant gently closed the door before sighing, “Uncle has not slept for three days. Someone seemed to have spotted Lady South in Histora. Uncle rushed there overnight, almost turned Histora upside down, but couldn’t find Lady South… He’d just arrived in the study when he passed out…”

Taylor Olsen was dead, and even if he were alive, Jodie South definitely wouldn’t be his wife again.

So Uncle Olsen started calling her “Miss South,” but others felt this title was not quite appropriate, hence they now addressed Jodie South as “Lady South.”

Hearing this, Ellis Olsen immediately frowned, “Sam, Uncle is really not taking care of himself! For a woman, is it worth it?”

Sam, the assistant, had been with Uncle Olsen for more than twenty years. Hearing this, he sighed, “You don’t understand. For Lady South, Uncle could do the most unthinkable things… He hasn’t married all these years, just because of her!”

Ellis Olsen tensed up his jaw, “He loves her that much?”

“Yes! After Lady South and Taylor Olsen left, Uncle didn’t leave the house for five whole days. All these years, Oceanion seemed to become a forbidden place for him. He really wanted to see Lady South, but they had a pact–to never meet again if one of them died. Uncle has been suppressing his own desires for twenty-two years! Think about it, he probably loves her more than his own life!”

Sam continued, sighing, “Actually, I’m quite relieved that Lady South never ended up with Uncle…”

Ellis Olsen immediately asked, “Why do you say that? Wouldn’t it have been better if they were together?”

Sam sighed, “On Lady South’s side, there’s clearly a more powerful force behind the scenes. We’ve been looking for so long and it’s obvious, the Olsen Family can’t compete with them. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be totally clueless… If Uncle had gotten together with Lady South back then, when Lady South faced danger, Uncle really would have risked his life for her…”

Ellis Olsen paused, then after a long silence, he finally spoke, “Can love really drive someone this crazy?”

He shook his head and left Uncle’s study. As for the fact that Keera was his daughter, that could wait until tomorrow!

What Ellis Olsen didn’t expect was that the next morning, when he hurried to Uncle’s study, he found it empty. The butler said that a call had come in the morning; someone in Ox City had spotted Lady South, and Uncle had rushed off again.

Ellis Olsen: “…”

Who are those people who took away Lady South? Why is there still no news up to now!

He took out his phone, hesitated for a while, and wondered whether to call Uncle and tell him about Keera’s situation…

But then he thought again and put down the phone.

He would wait until Keera’s divorce was settled before mentioning it!

Otherwise, Uncle would be torn, worried about Lady South on one hand and preoccupied with Keera on the other…

Just then, Ellis Olsen’s assistant arrived, “Young Master Olsen, we have news. Miss Keera and Miss Mary have gone to Davis Corporation!”

Hearing this, Ellis Olsen immediately frowned, “Are they planning to beg for help?”

He turned around and strode out.

After two steps, he realized he might have seemed a bit too eager, as if he cared a lot about them…

He immediately coughed and made up an excuse, “Let’s go take a look at their spectacle… Let that woman see clearly how insignificant she is without me!”

The nearby assistant: …

Young Master Olsen, you’re obviously worried they’ll be bullied! You speak so harshly, no wonder Miss Davis doesn’t look at you kindly!

…

Davis Corporation.

Kiera Olsen arrived at the company early in the morning along with Mary Davis.

Mary led her to the New Energy Development Investment Project Department, where they met the department head.

Mary pointed to Kiera and introduced her, “This is Keera Technology Co., Ltd.’s legal representative, Keera. She’s here today to…”

Before she could finish, the door was pushed open, and Wayne Davis, Mary’s uncle, strode in.

Upon seeing him, the department head quickly stood up, “President Davis, what brings you here?”

Wayne’s gaze swept over Mary.

He was still unaware of what happened last night; that morning, when he tried to call Boss Dawson, he found the phone switched off and unreachable.

After further inquiry from the hotel staff, he discovered that Mary hadn’t been with Boss Dawson last night at all!

His niece was really playing both sides!

Today, she would have to learn the consequences of disobedience!

Wayne scoffed, “I’m here, of course, to see how my dear niece intends to mix personal gain with public duty here!”

He glared at Mary, “You signed an investment contract with Keera Technology Co., Ltd. without authorization. Now the deadline has come, and they haven’t delivered any results. I seriously suspect you colluded with outsiders to profit from the company’s money. Mary, do you admit to this?”

Mary immediately retorted, “I didn’t. Keera Technology is a capable company; their new energy project department is quite solid. That’s why I invested. When I made the investment, I conducted due diligence. All procedures were in compliance with company protocol!”

Wayne sneered, “Compliance? If everything complied, how come there are no results? As far as I’m aware, after Keera Technology received the investment, their research personnel immediately resigned. How do you explain that?”

Mary hurriedly explained, “That was a coincidence! It’s also because of this reason that Keera Technology didn’t deliver the results on time. They’ve already put forward a proposal, and they’re here today to discuss continuing the collaboration!”

Wayne scoffed, “A proposal today? Too late! Late means late according to the contract! Davis Corporation isn’t your personal company. We don’t condone favoritism!”

He turned directly to the department head, “This matter must be executed strictly in accordance with the terms of the contract!”

The department head wiped sweat from his forehead and nodded, “Alright.”

Wayne then turned to Mary, “And you, having done such a thing, must take full responsibility. You are dismissed from the company! Furthermore, if we can’t recover the penalty fees, I will pursue your legal responsibility!”

Mary was furious, her chest heaving with anger.

Kiera then spoke coolly, “Are you sure you want to enforce the terms of the contract strictly? I remember one clause that states if we breach the contract, Davis Corporation shall cease any further collaboration with us, correct?”

Wayne sneered, “Of course, Davis Corporation isn’t foolish enough to collaborate with a small, unreliable company like yours again! You better think about how to repay the twenty million first. I heard your husband has even divorced you? Heh.”

“My private affairs are none of your concern.”

Kiera turned to the department head, “I came here today, actually, to discuss another partnership. Since you want to execute the contract strictly, I guess I can’t collaborate with Davis Corporation on the hydrogen fuel research project I have on hand. Such a pity…”

The department head scoffed, “Hydrogen fuel? The most advanced technology on the market right now was developed by Dr. South. Your company can’t even handle a simple R&D project, and you’re talking about hydrogen fuel? Who cares about your cooperation!”

Kiera handed the project document she had with her to him, “Are you sure you’re not interested?!”

“Certain!”

The department head scoffed.

Kiera raised an eyebrow, “Not even a glance?”

The department head glanced disdainfully at it, then looked away, but the next moment, he hesitated slightly.

What had he just seen?!
