How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 317 - Chapter 317 Chapter 316

Chapter 317: Chapter 316 Chapter 317: Chapter 316 Kiera looked at Lewis Horton and raised her eyebrows, “She said she wants to enter into a marriage alliance with Mr. Horton.”

Lewis Horton immediately shot a disgusted glance at Victoria Olsen and said firmly, “Impossible!”

Christina Olsen stared directly at him, sweeping her judgmental gaze up and down, and couldn’t help but curl her lips mockingly as she looked at his ascetic sportswear, “Keera, I know you got divorced, but is this your new gigolo?! Tch, I really don’t know where you get the confidence to say impossible… Do you even understand what a high-society marriage alliance means?”

Mrs. Jones hesitated, “I haven’t heard about it either…”

Christina Olsen spoke up immediately, “The Horton and Olsen family alliance was in talks years ago, but it was only halted because Mr. Horton got married. Recently, Mr. Horton’s wife passed away, and the talk of alliance between the Horton and Olsen families has emerged again!”

She directly addressed Victoria Olsen, “My sister is the only unspoken-for daughter of the Olsen family. It’s definitely her that is going to this alliance. What’s so impossible about that?”

Victoria Olsen bashfully lowered her head, “Sister, this matter hasn’t been announced to the public yet…”

“That’s a done deal, regardless!”

Christina Olsen turned to Mrs. Jones, “My sister is going to be the future hostess of the Horton family. Are you sure you still want to testify for them?!”

Mrs. Jones fell silent.

Seeing this, Christina Olsen then looked towards Kiera, “See? Now there are no witnesses. Stop making a scene here. This daycare is the best in Clance; it’s impossible for there to be any instances of teachers abusing children!”

Kiera furrowed her brows.

Just as she was about to say something, Mrs. Jones’s voice came through again, “Who said there are no witnesses? My son is a witness, and there are many other children from his class who saw it too…”

Kiera was slightly surprised and looked back at Mrs. Jones.

Mrs. Jones smiled at her faintly, then, taking Brandon Jones’ hand, she approached the police, “My son can cooperate with the investigation.”

Christina Olsen’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Mrs. Jones, have you lost your mind?! Do you not know the consequences of meddling in this? Does your husband approve of you doing this?”

Mrs. Jones simply glanced at her dismissively and said, “I am fully aware of what I am doing.”

Christina Olsen: ?

Without further ado, Mrs. Jones allowed her son to chat privately with the police for evidence collection.

Seeing this, the teacher’s legs turned to jelly…

Kiera was also taken aback by Mrs. Jones’s sense of justice.

She was staring in astonishment when Mrs. Jones suddenly looked at her, “You really don’t remember me?”

Kiera: ??

Mrs. Jones smiled and continued, “Four years ago, in Oceanion, we went free-diving together…”

Kiera, upon hearing this, suddenly recalled a memory, “You’re the one who… for a deep dive, tied a rock to yourself?”

Mrs. Jones immediately nodded, “Yes, that’s me!”

Even someone like Lewis Horton, who seldom spoke to other women, couldn’t help but interject, “Tied a stone?”

Mrs. Jones nodded, explaining, “Whenever I tried to dive, I just couldn’t get down. So, I thought of a method by tying a stone to my back and then I managed to dive down. It worked great!”

Her words trailed off and Mrs. Jones coughed once before continuing, “Of course, when I wanted to surface, I found I couldn’t get up, and the stone was dragging me deeper and deeper… If it hadn’t been for Miss Olsen saving me, the river would have become my grave.”

Lewis Horton: “…”

He was shocked to speech, knowing about this!

Who in the world dives by tying a stone to themselves?

Mrs. Jones held Kiera’s hand, “After you saved me that day, you didn’t even leave your name. I always wanted to thank you, but I never found you. I didn’t expect we’d meet here in Clance!”

Keira Olsen didn’t take the matter to heart.

But Lewis Horton frowned at Keira Olsen and chided her in a low voice, “It was dangerous then, do you know how dangerous it was for you to go and rescue her?!”

His voice carried an aftertaste of fear.

The divers were all at the bottom of the sea; Mrs. Jones had tied a large stone to herself and couldn’t even float to the surface, which undoubtedly indicated that she had dived deep!

Under those circumstances, Keira Olsen dared to rescue her? Was she disregarding her own life?

Mrs. Jones also looked at her gratefully, “Yes, it was dangerous at the time, coming to rescue me was truly tying your life to mine…”

Her voice was filled with emotion.

Seeing this, Keira Olsen cleared her throat, “Is it possible that I had no choice but to rescue her?”

Both Lewis Horton and Mrs. Jones were slightly startled.

Keira Olsen then said, “At that time, it was just me and her by the beach, no instructor around. If she had sunk with that stone, and when the police came to investigate, I might have jumped into the Yellow River and still not been able to clear myself…”

Lewis Horton: “…”

Mrs. Jones: “…”

Keira Olsen said it nonchalantly, but everyone understood that this was just a small joke she made to keep Lewis Horton from being overly tense and scared.

The police finished their questions soon after. Brandon Jones was articulate, his reasoning was solid, and together with Amy’s testimony, the police were fairly certain of the teacher’s child abuse and took him away immediately.

Before leaving, the teacher looked at Christina Olsen, “Miss Olsen, Miss Olsen, you must save me…”

Christina Olsen glared furiously at Mrs. Jones, her chest heaving with rage.

Unfortunately, this was a public place, and she still remembered the threat from Keera last time. As an adopted daughter, she couldn’t overstep too much, so in the end she could only say spitefully, “Mrs. Jones, just wait for the collaboration with the Horton Family to be cancelled!”

With that, she dragged Victoria Olsen out.

Mrs. Jones then said with a smile, “How could the Horton Family’s cooperation be swayed by one woman’s mood?”

While she said this, her eyes betrayed her concern.

In fact, her husband’s collaboration with the Horton Family was still in negotiation.

As the Horton Family expanded into Clance, they needed a channel and were choosing partners among these smaller families. Her husband had his sights on seizing this opportunity.

Even if Victoria Olsen wouldn’t marry Mr. Horton, it was said that Mr. Horton was quite close to the Olsen Family. A few words from Christina and Victoria Olsen could possibly spoil her husband’s chances.

After all, there were many potential partners to choose from for the Horton Family, and theirs was only one among them.

Mrs. Jones thought this to herself, but her face still maintained an easy smile, “You don’t need to worry; this won’t affect me.”

Keira Olsen nodded, “Don’t worry, there definitely won’t be any impact.”

Mrs. Jones smiled, “I know, now that Amy is alright, I’ll take Brandon Jones home. Let’s meet up another day.”

With those words, she took her son’s hand and turned to leave.

The moment she turned around, the smile on her face was somewhat forced, and her eyes revealed concern.

Just then, Lewis Horton’s voice suddenly came from behind, “Mrs. Jones…”

Mrs. Jones momentarily paused, turning around puzzled.

She then saw the man behind Keera walking over, “Tell your husband to get the contract ready; it’s time to sign.”

Mrs. Jones: ??
