How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire -
Chapter 416 - Chapter 416 Chapter 415
Chapter 416: Chapter 415 Chapter 416: Chapter 415 As these words were spoken, Austin Gill immediately picked a disciple and sent them running to find the Sect Leader.
Chris Freeman was drenched in sweat under Lady Gill’s intense gaze, offering an awkward smile as he said, “Sister-in-law, any matter can be discussed amicably; please don’t be too upset… By the way, where is my brother Gill?”
Lady Gill let out a cold laugh, “He’s too ashamed to fuss over these matters with you. He didn’t come today; I told him to rest at home!”
Then, with a wave of her hand, someone immediately brought over a chair for her to sit down. “Today, I will wait right here and see how the Freeman Sect plans to explain this to me!”
Chris Freeman: “…”
He advanced two steps, trying to strike up cordial conversation with Lady Gill.
Keira Olsen watched from the side, frowning.
Lady Gill seemed to be nearing fifty, but she still appeared decisive and firm, her face aflame with anger, especially after the words she had just spoken…
Keira Olsen turned towards James Olsen and asked in a low voice, “Does Lady Gill hold a high status within the Gill family?”
Aren’t all the heads of the Five Great Families men?
James Olsen replied in a quiet whisper, “Officially, Lady Gill’s husband is the head of the Gill family, but in reality, everyone listens to her. Her status is equivalent to the head of the Gill family. With three sons under her name, it’s no wonder she has spoiled her youngest son this much…”
Keira Olsen felt a pang of sympathy; Lady Gill was clearly a formidable woman.
Today’s incident might prove difficult to resolve.
She cast her gaze downward.
James Olsen then whispered again, “I’ve heard, just heard mind you, that Lady Gill was once enamored with Uncle Olsen when she was younger. So, how about we bring in Uncle Olsen right now and employ a bit of seductive charm?”
Keira Olsen: ??
Does your Uncle Olsen know you’re asking to be punched?
Kate Freeman at their side nodded in agreement, “Yeah, that sounds great!”
Keira Olsen: …This pair truly thinks themselves as the crouching dragon and hidden phoenix.
She disdainfully averted her gaze, then inquired again, “According to the sect rules, what would the punishment be for this matter?”
James Olsen explained, “According to the sect rules, they would have to cripple your martial arts cultivation and expel you from the Freeman Sect.”
Upon hearing this, Keira Olsen’s eyebrows knitted together.
She was about to argue that her martial arts were not learned at the Freeman Sect when she suddenly remembered that she was now playing the role of her sister, Keera, an Outer Sect Disciple of the Freeman Sect, who had indeed practiced their martial arts.
She did not want to trouble Chris Freeman or allow the reputation of the Freeman Sect to suffer any comments because of her.
As she contemplated her options, James Olsen whispered again, “But don’t worry; we all belong to the Five Great Families. You’ve just been recognized by Uncle Olsen as his daughter, and Lady Gill wouldn’t dare to punish you in such a manner. If the Freeman Sect is thinking of disciplining you, they’d have to consider your position within the Olsen Family!”
James Olsen’s voice resonated with conviction, “At worst, you’ll just leave the Freeman Sect. To retreat safely, our family has N number of plans, and I dare anyone to lay a finger on you!”
Keira Olsen: “…”
But she couldn’t back down!
She had to be accepted into the Inner Sect to establish her personal and their cooperative relationship with the Freeman family.
As she pondered her next move, she heard Chris Freeman speak up, “…Wasn’t there a big commotion in the Olsen family yesterday? This young lady here is the biological daughter of Uncle Olsen, newly recognized, who apparently wandered outside for a long time. Uncle dotes on her dearly and even called me specifically to request her acceptance as an Inner Sect Disciple. You and Uncle Olsen are old acquaintances after all, and this incident was merely playful antics between the children. Can’t we just let this matter slide?”
Lady Gill’s sharp gaze immediately turned upon hearing the words.
When she met Keira Olsen’s face, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and after a moment, she suddenly asked, “Is your mother Jodie South?”
Keira Olsen did not deny it.
Lady Gill then sneered, “No wonder you dare to hit my son; turns out you’re that wretched woman’s child! Back in the day, she provoked Uncle Olsen, so she should have stayed with him, but instead, she just vanished, leaving Uncle Olsen unmarried for all these years! To think she actually hid away and secretly gave birth to you!”
From Lady Gill’s words, Keira Olsen sensed a hint of resentment towards her mother.
Was it because she liked Uncle Olsen, and therefore held a grudge against her mother?
As she contemplated this, Lady Gill suddenly spoke, “Since you are his daughter, I will give you some leeway for this matter. How about this, kneel and kowtow to my son, and we’ll call it even!”
These words made Keira Olsen frown immediately.
James Olsen stepped forward, “Lady Gill, don’t go too far!”
“Too far?”
Lady Gill pointed at Austin Gill, “Look at my son, how he’s been beaten by her, not a single part of his body is unharmed. I’m just asking for a kowtow, not for her to be beaten up in return, and that is already considering she’s a girl!”
Chris Freeman also furrowed his brow, “Lady Gill, going this far with a junior is a bit too much…”
Lady Gill scoffed, “I’m just speaking to the point!”
Seeing her logic clear and poised, Keira Olsen prepared to reason with her, “Lady Gill, do you know why I hit your son?”
Lady Gill scoffed, “Isn’t it just about some trivial love affair? What? Can’t my son speak of what Mary Davis has done? If she seduced my son and then took away the collaboration from our Gill family, she must pay the price! My son wasn’t just making things up, and you dare to lay a hand on him, do you think our Gill family is to be trifled with?”
Keira Olsen’s eyebrows knit together immediately, “Mary Davis didn’t seduce your son, it’s all his lies! He has already admitted it!”
“Hah, that’s a confession coerced under severe punishment. I heard you have an assistant over there? Call him over too, I want to see who is so audacious to dare beat my son like this in Clance!”
The Gill family wielded great power, comparable to the Olsen Family.
Austin Gill was their third son, the apple of Lady Gill’s eye, spoiled since childhood.
This was also why Ellis Olsen didn’t hold back when he dealt with him; the man was stubborn because…
Austin Gill was certain Ellis wouldn’t dare to truly harm him, until he met… Lewis Horton.
Keira Olsen, listening to these words, turned her gaze back to Austin Gill.
That’s when she understood: Lady Gill was actually someone who could be reasonable, it was just that she had been misled by Austin Gill.
But Lady Gill trusted her own son, so where could Keira now go to prove that there was nothing between Austin Gill and Mary Davis, that it was all his fabrication?!
Suddenly, Keira Olsen felt as though she had hit a dead end.
How was she going to break this impasse?
Just then, a slightly hoarse voice, cracked from too much crying, reached them, “Lady Gill, how can you be so heartless with the younger generation?”
“A girl has beaten up your boy, you should reflect on your own failings, how can a boy be so beaten by a girl that he cries out? Don’t you think?”
The person hadn’t yet entered the courtyard, but the voice had already arrived.
James Olsen’s eyes lit up, “The Sect Leader has arrived!”
