How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 332 - Chapter 332 Chapter 331

Chapter 332: Chapter 331 Chapter 332: Chapter 331 Keira Olsen heard these words, yet there was no joy on her face; instead, she asked, “What is the condition?”

“Complete the task I have assigned.”

Keira Olsen sneered.

She knew that the other party wouldn’t easily tell her.

She spoke directly, “What if I can’t complete it?”

The other party laughed, “Keera, you should know that your mother is a traitor to the South Family, right? What do you think happens to traitors of the South Family when they are caught?”

Keira Olsen felt a tightness in her heart, and her words trembled, “What happens?”

“Solitary confinement is the least of it. In your mother’s situation, living in the Water Prison, receiving only enough food to sustain basic energy, there might even be public shaming marches, public floggings… The worst is the dunking stool, death by drowning.”

These threatening words made Keira Olsen feel as if she were in a daze.

She even looked around, for a moment feeling as if she had returned to an ancient era–this is the 21st century, isn’t it?!

How could there be places that still privately administer such forms of punishment?!

But Keira Olsen was not naive.

In Crera, the system is one of equality for all, where everyone can enjoy fair and just treatment, but this world is too large, and there are still places that practice slavery.

There are even regions where women are not allowed to show their faces…

Perhaps, in backward areas, people have not fully evolved into civilized societies… and even some places are embroiled in constant war…

So the place this person mentioned could indeed exist.

But Keira Olsen wasn’t intimidated; the more they spoke like this, the more it indicated that Jodie South was currently unharmed.

As expected, the other party spoke directly, “Your mother is currently being taken care of by us, nothing like this has happened yet, but if you don’t obey, that could change.”

Keira Olsen lowered her eyes and said rashly, “Haven’t I been obedient? The matter with Mary and Ellis Olsen, I made it happen.”

“Hahaha, indeed, you have completed it, Keera, it seems the pressure I put on you before was too little. I never expected that after all these years I had been deceived, you had always been hiding your strength… You really gave me quite the surprise. Since that’s the case, show all of your strength! Let’s see if you truly have the right to come back home!”

Having said that, the other person continued, “The marriage between Mary and Ellis Olsen is the first task; now that their engagement news has spread today, I’m sure you can complete it quickly. The second task will be sent to your phone in a couple of days.”

After these words, the other party hung up the phone.

Keira Olsen looked at her phone, frowning.

Lewis Horton was driving, having been silent throughout the entire call, and now he spoke after she hung up, “What’s wrong?”

Keira Olsen relayed the other party’s words to Lewis Horton.

Lewis Horton then said directly, “It seems this place isn’t in Crera, Keera, don’t worry, I will have people search the whole world.”

…But the world is so vast, her mother could be hidden anywhere, even on an uninhabited island that has yet to be discovered.

No wonder the power of the two great families, the Horton Family and the Olsen Family, had not been able to find her.

Keira Olsen lowered her eyes, understanding that she had only one path ahead.

That was to complete the task.

…

Inside Ellis Olsen’s car.

Ellis Olsen, feeling restless, tugged at his tie, then looked at her, “If you intend to keep the child, then I will not agree to marry you, Mary. You figure it out yourself!”

Hearing this, Mary slightly smiled bitterly.

She turned her head to gaze out at the scenery from the window and said, “Don’t worry, I have no intention of clinging to you.”

Her demeanor made Ellis Olsen feel even more frustrated.

They didn’t speak again on the ride and soon arrived back at the South Family villa.

Seeing the address outside, Ellis Olsen realized a problem, “You’re not staying at the Davis residence?”

“Hmm, I’ve been staying here at Keera’s these past few days.”

Mary pushed the car door open without looking at him, “Thanks for the ride home, goodbye.”

She directly entered the gates of the South Family villa.

As soon as she went in, she immediately leaned against the door, clutching her chest.

Then, Mary’s chin tensed up, and her eyes slowly reddened.

This Ellis Olsen, his words were simply too harsh.

She liked him, but she wasn’t a masochist. Having dodged this bullet today, she planned to tell her parents tomorrow that she wanted to go abroad and then leave Crera for good.

She intended to take her child and never return to this place that had brought her so much heartache.

Her phone suddenly vibrated.

She opened it to see a message from Ken Davis on WhatsApp: “Mary, Ellis Olsen’s parents have contacted me. They will come over to our house to propose marriage tomorrow. Remember to come back.”

On reading this message, Mary clenched her fists.

She replied, “Uncle, don’t bother, Ellis and I are not suitable for each other.”

After replying to the message, she took a step forward, preparing to head to the living room.

Just as she approached, she suddenly overheard a conversation between Keera and a gigolo inside the room.

Keera whispered, “Tell me, why did they give me the first mission to get Mary and Ellis married?”

Mary, struck by lightning, stood frozen in shock.

She hadn’t misunderstood; it just suddenly dawned on her that the first mission Keera had vaguely hinted at… was to get her married to Ellis?

She immediately recalled how panicked and terrified Keera had been when she received the mission from “them.” Keera had been so distracted since then, and when Mary had asked about it, Keera’s answer was, “They wanted me to manipulate the most important person to me, and I refused.”

Back then, she had thought Howard was the most important person.

But could it be that she herself was the most important person to Keera?!

And then she thought about what followed…

Keera had always been soft-hearted, with Howard and with herself alike. Despite their friendship of twenty years, Keera had blocked her out of the blue, simply because of something Howard said…

Could that also have been a form of protection for her?!

Mary wasn’t foolish, and she had an innate trust in Keera.

She knew Keera wouldn’t plot against her. The situation between her and Ellis had developed naturally to this point and had nothing to do with her.

Sure enough, she then heard the gigolo speak, “I’m not sure, but this first mission turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We never expected them to end up together.”

Keera spoke up, “If that scumbag Ellis dares to treat Mary poorly, I will never let them marry! When Mary comes back later, I will ask her properly.”

Mary’s eyes reddened.

She knew it…

But then she heard the gigolo continue, “What about your mother? If you don’t complete the mission, you won’t be able to save her.”

Mary’s pupils shrank instantaneously.

Save her mother?

She had sensed that Keera had been troubled lately, becoming more somber and seeming to shoulder a sudden burden of responsibility.

She had wanted to find a chance to ask what was wrong.

But she hadn’t imagined it was such a grave matter!

Keera had said she knew where her biological parents were. Was her mother captured by “them”?

No wonder Keera had been feeling compelled to complete missions lately!

As she thought this, she heard Keera insist, “No matter what, we can’t sacrifice Mary’s happiness.”

Mary’s eyes filled with tears.

Keera always considered her feelings…

Suddenly, Mary clenched her fingers tightly. She turned and silently left the living room, making her way to the main entrance. She did not hear Keira Olsen’s following words: “Mary is my sister’s most important friend. I never exploit her, and I won’t allow others to either.”

Mary quietly opened the door and left the South Family mansion, standing outside.

Her phone vibrated again. She picked it up to look, and it was still a message from Ken Davis: “My dear, did you have a fight with Ellis?”

There were also several messages from her parents:

“Mary, stop making a fuss. Please come home. Marrying Young Master Olsen is the honor of your lifetime! Your reputation has been ruined; who else could you marry if not him?”

Reading this message on WhatsApp, Mary lowered her gaze and chuckled.

Her refusal to marry Ellis was nothing but her own arrogant pride. Her desire to leave was also a figment of her self-importance.

So…

Mary replied to the message: “Come pick me up.”
