How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire -
Chapter 485 - Chapter 485 Chapter 484
Chapter 485: Chapter 484 Chapter 485: Chapter 484 These affluent families, although all their marriages are alliances, actually care a lot about face.
Since Kiera and Lewis Horton were engaged, even if they were openly playing around, they still had to give each other face.
That’s what Austin Gill was thinking when he entered the restaurant.
At this moment, Kiera was having dinner with a sulky Lewis Horton, seemingly oblivious to his discontent.
They were having Wagyu beef today.
When the beef arrived, Lewis Horton just stopped talking and started grilling it for her.
Kiera finally noticed something and asked cautiously, “Are you a bit upset?”
Lewis Horton paused in his grilling, his heart leaping.
Since she asked, he might as well tell her the truth…
Just as he thought this, he heard Kiera speak up, “Horton Group just moved to Clance, and there indeed is a lot to handle. Are you tired? If so, don’t push yourself driving me around. Go home and manage the business!”
Lewis Horton: “…”
How could this woman be so insensitive!
When had he ever complained about being tired in front of her!
Lewis Horton felt like he could hardly breathe, almost passing out from frustration with her!
He turned his head away, ignoring her.
Kiera was about to ask him more when Austin Gill suddenly reappeared, “Um, Keera, did you know that the Horton Family is about to host a banquet?”
Kiera nodded, “Yes, I know.”
Austin Gill coughed and glanced at the gigolo, “Then do you know what pretext the Horton Family is using for the banquet?”
Kiera was puzzled, “What pretext?”
Austin Gill didn’t respond but looked smugly at the gigolo once more.
He had thought that revealing this about the Horton Family would upset the gigolo, but unexpectedly, the man’s gaze suddenly became intense, looking at him eagerly.
How could Lewis Horton not be eager!
He had just said the Horton Family was hosting a casual banquet, so he still couldn’t reveal it was actually his birthday. But someone else could find out through others, and wasn’t that person right here now?!
He smirked.
Austin Gill: ?
How thick-skinned could this gigolo be, knowing that Kiera was allied with the Horton Family, yet he still smiled when the Horton name was brought up!
If it weren’t for this gigolo being so harsh towards him, Austin Gill would have mocked him.
But now, he didn’t dare.
He could only bring up a bit of news about the Horton Family to annoy him…
Thus, Austin Gill turned to Kiera again, “It’s under the pretext of…”
Before he could finish, Kiera’s phone rang.
She looked down, saw it was Lady Gill, and immediately answered, “Hello, Lady Gill.”
Lady Gill immediately said, “Miss Olsen, I heard from Austin Gill that you are Nora? Our cooperation… thank you so much!”
“You’re welcome,” Kiera responded lightly.
Lady Gill coughed, “Miss Olsen, there was a misunderstanding before; we thought that this cooperation was repayment for the lifesaving grace you showed my daughter. Now it seems we still owe you a favor… The Gill family owes you a favor. Should you need anything, just say the word, and we’re obliged to help!”
Hearing this promise, Kiera felt as if she understood why the South Family insisted she collaborate with the five major families of Clance.
She pursed her lips, “You’re too kind.”
Lady Gill continued, “Since I owe you such a big favor, let me add more. Since yesterday, it seems someone in Clance has deliberately been spreading rumors about you. People in the circle have heard…”
Kiera was slightly startled, “What rumors?”
Lady Gill said, “Since yesterday, your reputation in the circle has changed. Previously you were known as Uncle Olsen’s newly found daughter, Clance’s most esteemed princess. But now it’s said your private life is chaotic, that you’re dishonoring the Horton Family by keeping a gigolo… They even say your alliance with the Horton Family is embarrassing. I heard from Austin Gill that you have a college boyfriend? I advise you to break up soon, such rumors are not good for you.”
Kiera raised an eyebrow, “Lady Gill, do you know who started these rumors?”
“No idea. But I can provide some information for you.”
“What?”
Lady Gill coughed, “When we had a fallout with the Olsen Family, someone anonymously sent Austin Gill Ellis Olsen’s results of an infertility test.”
Kiera paused, then raised an eyebrow.
Ellis Olsen’s test results were always kept very confidential and wouldn’t be easily discovered by outsiders. Lady Gill’s words implied there was a mole in the Olsen Family!
Lady Gill hinted, “The Olsen Family has seven sons, Uncle Olsen himself has no sons, who the heir really is, the rest have a right to contest!”
This meant, among the other six brothers in the Olsen Family, it was possible they would turn against their brother!
Such family feuds were quite common.
Kiera frowned, wondering which brother was fighting for inheritance?
She thought through the other six brothers at home, the youngest was not smart enough, James Olsen was determined to marry into another family, hardly likely…
That ruled out two, leaving four…
She looked down, softly saying, “Thank you for the warning, Lady Gill.”
“You’re welcome.”
Lady Gill spoke up, “As I said, if you need any help, just ask.”
“Alright.”
“See you at the Horton banquet.”
Lady Gill hung up, and Kiera turned to Austin Gill.
She saw Austin Gill, finding himself a bit bored while she was on the phone, was watching Lewis Horton. After looking over, he coughed, “Keera, your gigolo brother seems tough to deal with, what’s his name?”
Kiera heard this, raised an eyebrow.
She propped her chin up, looking at Austin Gill, “Lewis Horton.”
