How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire -
Chapter 499 - Chapter 499 Chapter 498
Chapter 499: Chapter 498 Chapter 499: Chapter 498 James Olsen was flabbergasted. “You, you, you, you’ve been Lewis Horton all along?!”
The entire Horton family banquet fell into stunned silence.
Everyone was watching Lewis Horton with disbelief. Those who had just been gossiping about him being Keira Olsen’s gigolo were all gaping, feeling as if the world had turned into a fantasy!
Victoria Olsen exclaimed even more incredulously, “This can’t be! You’re clearly Keera’s driver, her gigolo, you…”
Lewis Horton glanced at her and spoke indifferently, “I admire Miss South, and have always been pursuing my fiancee. Is there a problem?”
His words rendered Victoria speechless.
The others around immediately chimed in:
“So it was all a misunderstanding! Miss Olsen hasn’t been misbehaving at all!”
“Exactly, what gigolo? Rumors can be so ugly! Miss Olsen and Mr. Horton have been engaged for a long time, it’s normal for them to be close, right?”
“They were saying both families were arranging a marriage… turns out, it’s true love!”
“The funniest thing is on the Horton side, don’t you all find it strange? Mr. Horton and Miss Olsen are so affectionate, there mustn’t have been any complaints about Miss Olsen, so why didn’t the Hortons come out to welcome the Olsens? Something’s off here!”
“What’s off about it? Mr. Horton is from the second branch of the Horton family, and there’s the first branch as well, I’ve long heard that the old man favors the first branch…”
“So the first branch of the Horton family is causing trouble? Ridiculous.”
“…”
A crowd pointed fingers at Victoria Olsen, Oliver Horton, and Nathan Horton.
Though Oliver and Nathan felt humiliated, their focus was on Keira Olsen; both were looking at her with shock and disbelief and finally managed to say, “Keira Olsen? You’re not dead?”
Keira Olsen looked down indifferently, “Who are these two?”
Lewis Horton immediately played along, “Keera, this is my father, and this is my older brother.”
Then he introduced to both, “This is Uncle Olsen’s long-lost biological daughter, Keera. Now she has returned to the Olsen family and changed her name to Keera Olsen.”
Oliver Horton and Nathan Horton exchanged looks, both puzzled, “Keera? Not Kiera?”
Keira Olsen ignored the comment and turned towards Victoria Olsen.
At that moment, Victoria was staring at them still in shock; Keira Olsen sneered, “Victoria Olsen, he’s Lewis Horton. You’re disappointed, aren’t you?”
Victoria swallowed hard, “I, I didn’t…”
“Weren’t you just saying that the Horton and Olsen families should call off the engagement? Weren’t you hoping that after I broke off my engagement with Lewis, you could take my place?”
Victoria quickly waved her hands and then looked at Uncle Olsen with a flattering gaze, “Uncle, I didn’t mean that, I really misunderstood, I’m just trying to look out for the Olsen family. I had no idea Keera’s boyfriend was Lewis Horton… It was all a misunderstanding, I didn’t do it on purpose, I didn’t mean anything else!”
She cried as she spoke and then started in a pitiful tone, “I know since my sister came home, you all don’t like me and have kicked me out. Don’t worry, I won’t ever visit again, I don’t want to upset my sister by being around.”
Her words garnered sympathy from the people around.
“It’s a bit harsh for the Olsen family to immediately discard the foster daughter once their own daughter returns, isn’t it?”
“Shh, keep it down…”
Keira Olsen sneered and looked towards Uncle Olsen.
Uncle Olsen spoke up bluntly, “Indeed, seeing you does bother your sister because seeing someone as heartless and traitorous to the family as you is truly unwelcome in the Olsen family!”
Upon this declaration, the surrounding crowd was immediately taken aback.
Victoria Olsen suddenly turned to look at him, her expression frantic, “Uncle, what, what are you talking about?”
Uncle Olsen simply opened his mouth, “A while back, the Olsen and Gill families had a little misunderstanding. Someone sent Austin Gill a fake report of your older brother. You think I don’t know who sent it?”
Victoria was immediately shocked by his words.
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at him, “Uncle, I don’t understand what you mean, it really wasn’t me, I…”
But she couldn’t continue her sentence.
Because she knew very well that Uncle Olsen never spoke without basis; if he said something, it was definitely because he had evidence.
Uncle Olsen chuckled coldly.
Victoria’s legs instantly gave way, and she collapsed to the ground.
She swallowed hard, “Please forgive me, Uncle, I was just confused for a moment. I just felt that once Keera came home, you all didn’t need me anymore, and I couldn’t accept it… I know I was wrong, Uncle… The Olsen family has raised me, and I am grateful to them, Uncle…”
Uncle Olsen coldly responded, “The Olsen family raised you and never expected you to do anything for the family. Since you can’t get over this, you should repay the Olsen family’s kindness.”
Victoria was startled, “How can I repay it?”
Uncle Olsen said indifferently, “We have a foreign business partner who wishes to enter into a marital alliance. Weren’t you very eager to represent the Olsen family in this marriage? Well then, off you go!”
At these words, Victoria’s eyes lit up, “Which family?”
Uncle Olsen curled his lips, “The Martin family.”
Victoria immediately asked, “Scott Martin?”
Uncle Olsen revealed a mocking smile, “You really dare to dream. Do you think Scott Martin is someone you could aspire to? His uncle has just lost his wife; it’s perfect for you to go and be his next.”
Those words drained the color from Victoria’s face.
Scott Martin’s uncle… that middle-aged man known for his brutality?
Rumors had it that he was hardly able-bodied now and thus had a particular fondness for sadomasochism, having already seen three wives to their deaths…
In a place like abroad, within large families like the Martins, such matters wouldn’t be pursued by anyone…
Victoria inhaled sharply.
She was about to say something more when Uncle Olsen gestured with his hand, and immediately, two bodyguards stepped forward and grabbed Victoria’s arms.
Uncle Olsen ordered, “Keep an eye on her. Don’t let her go out before the marriage is settled!”
“Yes!”
Victoria tried to speak but was quickly gagged with a cloth and then forcibly dragged away.
The series of actions were executed smoothly and efficiently.
There, in front of everyone, Uncle Olsen punished Victoria. He looked leisurely at Oliver Horton and Nathan Horton, “I hope you don’t mind. We Olsens act swiftly and decisively.”
Oliver Horton and Nathan Horton immediately swallowed hard, waving their hands, “No, no, we don’t mind.”
Uncle Olsen then asked, “Did you just say something about canceling the children’s marriage?”
The corners of Nathan Horton’s mouth twitched, “You must have misheard, they are very much in love, and we are pleased!”
Uncle Olsen chuckled coldly, cast a glance at Keira Olsen, and then followed the two men back into the banquet hall.
Keira Olsen raised her eyebrows, looking towards Susan Simpson, who was hiding behind Peter Olsen.
