How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 489 - Chapter 489 Chapter 488

Chapter 489: Chapter 488 Chapter 489: Chapter 488 Jake Horton was in a daze when Victoria Olsen broke the silence, “It’s Keera, Uncle Olsen’s biological daughter.”

Jake’s emotions surged as he fixated on Victoria, speaking slowly, “What Keera? Shouldn’t the Olsen family’s biological daughter have the surname Olsen?”

Victoria cast her eyes down, “Right, to be precise, it should be Keira Olsen.”

Jake’s expression immediately became even more bewildered, “Keira Olsen… which Olsen?”

Victoria didn’t understand why he was asking this, but she still answered seriously, “Not Olsen, it’s the ‘ke’ from ‘princess.’ Her original name is Keera, and after acknowledging her kinship, she added the surname, becoming Keira Olsen.”

Keira Olsen… Kiera Olsen…

Jake let out a bitter smile.

What a coincidence that name was.

Was this the reason why my uncle agreed to marry her?

Victoria was still there, saying, “I don’t know if you’re aware, but Keera has already been married before and met a scumbag. She got divorced and has a daughter. After the divorce, she suffered some psychological trauma and started dating a younger man. My uncle has been wanting her to break up, rest assured, once Keera joins the Horton family, she will definitely break up…”

Victoria was setting a trap for Kiera Olsen.

But she set it in the wrong place.

Jake coldly spoke up, “That’s good.”

Victoria paused, “What?”

“I mean, it’s good she has a boyfriend. She and my uncle really are a perfect match!”

Leaving those sarcastic words behind, Jake intentionally turned around, “Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.”

He then entered the living room.

Victoria: ??

She furrowed her brows.

Shouldn’t Jake be angry about Keira Olsen’s lack of propriety? Why was his reaction different from what she expected?

But perhaps this kind of reaction was okay.

None of the Hortons had left their rooms to welcome the Olsen family, which was enough to show their dissatisfaction with the marriage!

With this thought, Victoria slowly curled her lips, swaying the red wine in her glass.

Keira Olsen… what does it matter if you stole the title of the Olsen family’s darling?

The one who will be embarrassed at today’s banquet is still you!

…

“What’s going on here?! Is this how the Horton family treats their guests?!”

The Olsens gathered in the parking lot and slowed their pace as they walked toward the Horton family banquet hall.

They had thought that if Lewis Horton wasn’t there, someone from the first branch or Old Mrs. Horton would come out to greet them, but to their surprise, there was no one at the door?

James Olsen couldn’t hold back and immediately complained.

Charles Olsen was more naive and suggested, “Maybe there are a lot of guests today, and they haven’t arrived yet? Let’s walk slower and give them some time.”

James immediately agreed, “Right, the Hortons have just settled in Clance, and they lack experience. It’s normal for something to go wrong with this kind of banquet. Let’s take our time and wait a bit longer.”

The group deliberately began to point and comment on the scenery around them as they walked.

While it seemed as if they were evaluating the Horton family’s park, the actual conversation was:

“Have they come out yet?”

“Has anyone from the Horton family arrived?”

“My smile is starting to freeze! What do I do?”

“I can barely contain my anger!”

“If you don’t come out now, we’re going to turn around and leave!”

“We can’t leave, there are so many of us here, if we walk away now, it would really break things off!”

“Let it break off then. If they disrespect us like this, how will the Hortons treat our sister with respect after she marries into their family?”

“Sister, say something. As long as you say you don’t want this arranged marriage, we will leave right away. What’s with that Lewis Horton? When he first came to propose to our family, wasn’t he all fine? How can he be so bad at dealing with people now?”

A bunch of people chattered noisily, and the faces of several elders began to look increasingly unhappy.

Just then, a discordant voice emerged from the crowd, “Do you think it’s possible that the Hortons found out about the little affair our sister has with her gigolo boyfriend? After all, the scandal has been the talk of the town…”

These words silenced everyone.

Keira Olsen looked at the person who had spoken; it was her fifth brother, Peter Olsen.

Keira didn’t have much contact with Peter, but from the few times she did interact with him, she knew he was usually a quiet, reserved type.

And he was a bit stubborn.

His words now implied he thought Keira had done something wrong.

Just as Keira was about to explain, James Olsen spoke up, “Fifth brother, what are you saying? Whose brother are you, after all!”

Peter Olsen sighed, “Personally, of course, I’m on the side of my little sister, but we have to stick to the facts. That incident involving my sister has caused quite a stir, and if the Hortons were to greet us warmly now, they would surely become the laughingstock of Clance…”

James immediately retorted in anger, “But if they don’t come out to greet us, we’ll be the laughingstock of Clance!”

Peter Olsen fell silent.

He glanced at Keira and tried to persuade her with earnest concern, “Little sister, you should break up with that gigolo quickly! You really can’t go on like this…”

Even if they walked slowly, they were gradually approaching the grand entrance.

By this point, they had already arrived right in front of the Horton Family’s gate, with only a few steps remaining.

Yet the Hortons still hadn’t come out to greet them…

The Olsen family group suddenly became the center of attention.

Surrounding early arrivals who were strolling in the garden now gathered around, pointing and gossiping:

“The Olsens are here, how come no one from the Horton family came out to greet them?”

“It’s definitely because of that incident! No wonder the Hortons didn’t show up!”

“Miss Olsen has been indecorous. She’s openly dating a boyfriend, which is a slap in the face to the Horton family’s honor. It would be strange if the Hortons bothered to greet them now!”

“For so many years, nothing like this has ever happened in the Olsen Family. Remember the incident with Ellis Olsen’s wife and child a while back? That ended up being clarified as a misunderstanding. Besides, isn’t the Olsen Family known for their good home education? How could this happen?”

“What do you know? Keera Olsen wasn’t raised in the Olsen Family, she’s the illegitimate daughter from Uncle Olsen’s tryst outside. I heard that once she was acknowledged by the family, she imperiously ousted Victoria Olsen!”

“What? Victoria Olsen has such good manners, and she was just ousted like that? That’s a bit too much from the Olsen’s, isn’t it?”

“When people who’ve grown up outside come into wealth, they often act without regard for their reputation, right? Indeed, it’s shameful.”

“The Olsens spoil their daughters too much!”

“…”

These accusations made the Olsen brothers’ faces turn sour.

Victoria Olsen in the crowd also curled her lips into a slight smile.

As long as the Hortons didn’t come out to greet them, Keera’s reputation would be utterly ruined today!

She was thinking this when she suddenly caught sight of a car stopping at the back courtyard.

Only the Hortons were allowed to park there.

The Hortons were all entertaining guests in the main hall at the moment, so the person who had arrived was… Lewis Horton?!

Victoria’s eyes brightened instantly!
