How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 404 - Chapter 404 Chapter 403

Chapter 404: Chapter 403 Chapter 404: Chapter 403 The Olsen and Horton families were to join in marriage; this news had been announced long ago.

It began several years ago when everyone thought that Christina Olsen would marry into the Horton family, but sadly, the Hortons did not agree, and the matter was never settled.

Then later, there were rumors that Lewis Horton was getting married, so the Olsens had even less hope.

But unexpectedly, the young wife of Lewis Horton passed away prematurely, leaving her position open once again!

The Olsen family brought up the marriage alliance once again, and surprisingly, the Hortons did not refuse.

However, this topic had been gossiped about in Clance for a long time, and until now, neither family had confirmed anything publicly. So why all of a sudden had they come to form a betrothal today?

As everyone was busily gossiping, Joseph Olsen also took his daughter aside to make way for the butler.

Uncle Olsen raised an eyebrow toward Keira Olsen.

Keira also showed a surprised expression and looked inquiringly at the butler.

The butler, with a joyful expression, quickly entered the doorway: “I saw them bringing a bunch of gifts here and unloading the car. Someone greeted me and said it was the Horton family’s betrothal gift, and asked me to inform you first!”

Uncle Olsen laughed heartily: “Hahaha, good, that brat has finally seen sense! Today is truly a cause for double celebration!”

The butler laughed as well: “Yes, a double celebration indeed!”

Ellis Olsen, upon hearing this, instinctively looked toward Keera, who he had just acknowledged as his cousin.

He of course knew that Lewis Horton had been staying at Keera’s house; were they planning to make her position official?

He suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable.

As glorious as Keera appeared today, the deceased Keira Olsen elicited just as much pity.

Originally, Lewis Horton had loved her so deeply, risking even offending Uncle Olsen for her…

Now… it was nothing more than finding a substitute.

He suddenly lowered his head and picked up his drink, took a sip, then turned to look at Mary Davis, only to see her frowning slightly as she looked toward Victoria Olsen.

Ellis then glanced at Victoria, who at that moment had a shy expression and bright eyes but lowered her head.

The people nearby also immediately turned to look at her, starting to tease:

“Miss Olsen, I hear Mr. Horton is quite the catch, you’re really lucky with this marriage!”

“Yes, indeed! This marriage is really excellent!”

“You and Mr. Horton are truly a match made in heaven, and moreover…”

Their speech halted suddenly as they looked toward Ellis Olsen, then each lowered their voices, fearing he would overhear their conversation:

“Why did Mr. Horton choose today of all days to go through with the betrothal? Isn’t it obviously to support Miss Victoria?”

“I wouldn’t have realized if you hadn’t mentioned it, but now that you say it, it seems quite probable! Otherwise there’s no need to make such a grand gesture.”

“According to the butler, there are many gifts still being unloaded! How long will that take?”

“Miss Victoria, have you met Mr. Horton yet? What does he look like?”

Victoria, surrounded by people, immediately lowered her head, her shyness intensifying a bit: “I haven’t met him yet. But indeed, our families have been in touch…”

She subconsciously looked toward Keira Olsen, a smug smile curling the corners of her lips!

What did it matter how her brothers had treated her just now?

Even if they had sent many gifts, it was just a drop in the ocean for the Olsens, but if she married Lewis Horton… the Hortons would be hers!

She heard that the wealth of the Horton and Olsen families was not far apart, with Crera being a famously mercantile city, Oceanion being the richest there! It surely wouldn’t be much less than the Olsens’, and might even be stronger!

Joseph Olsen quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

With this distraction, his daughter could escape scrutiny for now.

But just as the thought passed, he heard his daughter step forward and laugh loudly: “Keera, see that? Even if you are Uncle Olsen’s legitimate daughter, the Hortons have come to support Victoria now! Of all the Olsen daughters, I think Victoria is the most accomplished!”

After saying these daring words, she provocatively looked toward Uncle Olsen: “Uncle Olsen, I understand your favoritism toward your own daughter, and I understand why you had my father hit me just now. But some things still need to be said!”

Joseph immediately rushed forward to grab his daughter’s arm: “What are you ranting about here?”

However, she pushed him away: “I’m not ranting! Some things, even if I don’t say them, everyone knows. Keera’s past is so shameful! Dad, stop trying to confuse the issue! I just have to say it, it’s too suffocating not to!”

Seeing this, Joseph, enraged, reached out to cover her mouth!

But in the next moment, he heard Uncle Olsen coolly speak: “Let her talk!”

Joseph’s movements halted.

Uncle Olsen then picked up his drink, staring at them: “I indeed want to hear how my daughter is so unworthy!”

Joseph saw the laughing face of Uncle Olsen and felt a chill shoot up his spine.

He understood, his daughter could not stay…

With that realization, Joseph sighed. Once again, he gave Uncle Olsen a pleading look, only to see that Uncle Olsen wasn’t even looking at him, clearly having made up his mind to punish his daughter and set an example for everyone!

Joseph wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and dejectedly lowered his head.

His daughter didn’t realize how dire the situation had become, still scoffing: “Uncle, you might not know, but your daughter is completely obsessed with romance. She married her university classmate, slaved away for them at home, and then three years later, when he found someone new, he kicked her out just like that! Besides her face, your daughter is utterly worthless!”

Hearing these words, Keira Olsen felt indifferent. She glanced at Uncle Olsen, seeing the cold aura around him and the intensified murderous intent in his eyes.
