How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire -
Chapter 490 - Chapter 490 Chapter 489
Chapter 490: Chapter 489 Chapter 490: Chapter 489 Victoria Olsen thought this and immediately took two steps toward the car.
She caught a glimpse of someone opening the car door, with a pair of leather shoes coming down first.
Then came the black trousers, straight legs, and the midsection…
Victoria deliberately walked in a wobbling manner, pretending to be overcome by alcohol. Just as the person finally got out of the car, she threw herself at him.
“Ouch…”
Victoria Olsen let out a cry, then collapsed onto the man, before rubbing her body against his, “Mr. Horton, sorry, I sprained my ankle.”
After saying this, she lowered her head, feigning shy modesty.
She had expected the person who spoke to be a refined and cultured man, but instead, she heard an elderly voice, “Young lady, are you alright?”
Victoria’s body stiffened, and she quickly turned around, only to see an old man holding her, which scared her into standing up straight, “Who are you?!”
The driver had also gotten out of the car, and hearing this, he immediately scolded her, “This is our Mr. Horton; how could you speak like that?”
Mr. Horton…
This man appeared to be well over sixty; was he Lewis Horton, the father of Nathan Horton?!
Victoria’s face turned pale instantly. She immediately straightened up, “Mr. Horton, sorry, just now I… ”
She glanced down at the ground and pointed to the pebbles by her foot, “I accidentally stepped on them.”
Nathan Horton coughed, looked down at his hand.
When this woman had grabbed hold of him and rubbed against his body earlier, it granted him a slick touch that he hadn’t felt in a long time, making him feel as if he had grown years younger!
He smiled at the person in front of him, “Whose young lady are you?”
Victoria smiled, looking down, “I’m the adopted daughter of the Olsen family.”
After finishing, she sighed, “I am now living outside.”
Nathan was indeed curious, “Why are you living outside?”
Victoria was nearly in tears, “My Uncle found his biological daughter, so it wasn’t suitable for me to stay at home, so I moved out… But it’s okay, I’m living quite well.”
Nathan frowned, “You’re living quite well, yet you’re crying? Is it because the Olsen family’s biological daughter is too domineering, not allowing you to stay at home?”
Victoria immediately waved her hands, “No, no. Uncle, it’s not like that, she’s been quite nice to me…”
“Hmph!” Nathan had been displeased with Lewis.
After arriving in Clance, Lewis spent all his time out of the house, reportedly chasing after his fiancee.
Back in Oceanion, Nathan had seen how distraught Lewis was and thought he was a true lover.
Nathan had actually been happy for a while. If Lewis collapsed due to his wife leaving, then there might be a chance for the Horton family to return to the first branch’s hands!
But did he ever think that after arriving in Clance, this youngster would learn to curry favor with those in power?
Even to secure his position of power within the Horton family, he started to engage in alliance marriages.
Without his knowledge, he had already arranged a marriage with the Olsen family, solidifying his position within the Horton family and Clance!
And all for this marriage, he would condescend to accompany his fiancee…
So all his earlier virtues were false then!
In the end, Lewis was just like him, a man who would give up on women for the sake of the family business! Let’s see if he has any right to mock him in the future!
Nathan snorted coldly, hence he didn’t have a good impression of this unseen fiancee of Lewis. He directly said, “Such a daughter-in-law is a disgrace to our family; if only I knew the Olsen family had someone like you, and Lewis was engaging with some girl found outside, I would never have agreed!”
Victoria also lowered her head, “I liked Mr. Horton too… Initially, my brother had plans to arrange my marriage with him, but sadly someone beat us to it… After my sister returned home, she probably heard this news, which is why she couldn’t stand me…”
The more she spoke, the angrier Nathan grew!
He directly looked to the nearby driver and asked, “Have the Olsens arrived yet? I want to meet Uncle Olsen and ask him what kind of good daughter he’s raised? Daring to keep a gigolo outside! They clearly don’t see our Horton family in their eyes!”
The driver immediately supported the old gentleman, entering the living room through the side-door, “I’ll go and check; they should be arriving soon, right? The banquet is about to start, and the Olsens are the most important guests, so they won’t be late.”
Victoria immediately stepped forward, took the other arm of old Mr. Horton, “Uncle, let me help you as well.”
Nathan smiled and nodded his head, “Okay.”
The two entered the living room only to see the hall already filled with a bustling crowd.
Old Mrs. Horton was resting upstairs because of her dementia and was not greeting guests in the hall.
Nathan looked around and asked, “The Olsens haven’t arrived yet?”
Jake Horton was busy entertaining other guests with Oliver Horton. Hearing this, Oliver looked towards the door, “Not yet, right? Jake, go check if they have arrived!”
Jake immediately responded, “They should be at the door by now, let the butler welcome them.”
Upon hearing this, Oliver’s expression flickered.
With Lewis Horton attached to the large Olsen family tree, their first branch had even less hope.
Now, with Lewis absent, if they slighted the Olsens a bit, could they shake up this marriage arrangement?
Thinking this, Oliver immediately smiled, “Yes, dad, you just got here and must be tired, so please take a seat. I’ll get the butler to welcome them!”
…
Outside the hall.
As time ticked by, frustration was written all over the faces of the Olsen family.
James Olsen suddenly turned, “Let’s go! If they don’t welcome us, why should we stay here?!”
Charles Olsen was also indignant, “Exactly, the way they’re acting is too much, where is the respect for us as in-laws?”
The surrounding guests were even whispering amongst themselves, although they spoke softly, not daring to let the Olsens hear.
But the Olsens could guess what they were saying.
After a while, the butler came out, “Oh my, Uncle Olsen, Mr. Olsen, young ladies, sorry, our master is busy with something, currently entertaining other guests inside, so he sent me to welcome you all in! Sorry, sorry for the oversight!”
This statement made everyone pause.
The fury on the faces of the Olsen family members was almost uncontrollable.
What did those words mean?
Was there anyone more important than the Olsen family in the hall?
Clearly impossible! This was completely the Horton family showing their authority to the Olsens!
“We’re leaving!!”
