How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 504 - Chapter 504 Chapter 503

Chapter 504: Chapter 503 Chapter 504: Chapter 503 Old Mrs. Horton began to speak, “That was just our private speculation, and many people have perused numerous ancient Creran texts to find such a family with the surname South. Unfortunately, all searches turned up nothing. Until there was a time when someone publicly announced that Lady South was actually…”

“In Country Y’s royal family, it seemed she had committed some sort of error in Country Y and had been exiled to Crera.”

Keira Olsen was stunned.

Exiled…

That word made it sound as if she was an ancient official who had committed some offense and was banished to Ninguta.

Old Mrs. Horton then continued, “Back in those days, Country Y was very well-developed and advanced; I have to admit, at that time, Crera was quite backward, with a poor standard of living. For them, living in Crera was like being exiled. However, they probably never imagined that today’s Crera has become so prosperous, and life has become so convenient…”

Keira nodded.

She asked, “Is there anything else?”

Old Mrs. Horton shook her head, “That’s really all I know. After all, I’m not Creran, and I ended up moving back to Oceanion to marry. Other than hearing that Lady South perished in a big fire, I’m unaware of anything else…”

Keira nodded again.

She felt her trip today hadn’t been in vain.

At least she had clarified one thing: the South Family possessed immense power and must have had a substantial financial foundation; otherwise, they couldn’t have supported someone of Lady South’s stature.

But exile… banishment… What was all that about? She needed to investigate further.

Moreover, if Lady South was exiled and banished, why did she come with such a large team of servants?

Her luxurious lifestyle indicated that the South Family certainly hadn’t mistreated her.

And what about the fire that claimed Lady South? Moreover, it seemed her mother, Jodie South, had also hidden her identity, avoiding it in Oceanion for over twenty years…

This South Family seemed to be a bit too formidable indeed!

Country Y…

This was a new clue!

Keira suddenly realized something and sharply turned to look at Lewis Horton, but before she could speak, Lewis Horton had already said indifferently, “Scott Martin came from Country Y.”

Instantly, Keira thought of the third task the South Family had issued for her, to make Scott Martin fall in love with her, and to form a marital alliance with him.

She frowned and spoke directly, “Send someone to investigate Scott Martin’s family.”

Lewis Horton nodded, “Yes, I’ll have it looked into.”

…

After saying goodbye to Old Mrs. Horton, Keira walked outside. Lewis Horton received a phone call, and Keira waited for him a bit in the parking lot.

During this short interval, Jake Horton suddenly appeared in front of Keira.

Keira looked at him, slightly startled.

Jake stared at her, then suddenly said, “Do you know that, to your little uncle, you are just a substitute!”

Keira: “…”

She almost wanted to roll her eyes!

What was up with Jake?

Without her saying anything, Jake scoffed, “I knew you wouldn’t believe it, but it’s the truth! Do you know what his former wife looked like? Almost identical to you!”

Keira: “…”

Seriously, was this guy crazy?

Jake continued, “Don’t you mind? Him using you like this…”

Keira spread her hands, “Mind what?”

Jake was taken aback.

Keira sighed, “For someone like me, a divorcee with a child, being wanted by anyone is already good enough. Mr. Horton may be on his second marriage, but at least he doesn’t have children. Marrying him is like I’m the fortunate one. Plus, to tell the truth, I really like Mr. Horton. Not only is he handsome and in good shape, but he’s also wealthy and capable of helping me grow and strengthen my company… Even if he has someone else in his heart and sees me as a replacement, I’m willing!”

Jake: !!

He looked at Keira in utter astonishment, as if he couldn’t comprehend it.

At that moment, a low chuckle suddenly came through: “Ch.”

Keira Olsen and Jake Horton both swiftly turned their heads and saw Lewis Horton standing not far away, watching them.

Jake’s face instantly tensed up, he didn’t say a word, and turned to leave.

Keira raised an eyebrow.

Lewis got into the car to take Keira home.

On the way, the smile at the corner of Lewis’s mouth never faded.

They quickly arrived back at the South Family’s place.

Just as they reached the doorstep, they saw a familiar figure standing there, it was actually Ellis Olsen.

Keira: “…”

She exchanged a glance with Lewis, and both of them sighed at the same time.

If Mary Davis doesn’t forgive him, is he just not going to leave?

…

The next day, when Keira woke up, she saw a message from Austin Gill saying that Nara Gill had woken up, but she refused to recognize them and had already gone home with Matias Gill. He asked Keira to visit if she had some spare time.

Keira let out a slight sigh when she saw the message.

She had known all along that this would be the outcome.

Nara might seem like a mute who doesn’t talk much, but she’s actually very stubborn and sticks to her principles.

She had been forced by Austin to jump off a building, how could she possibly forgive such a brother?

Since Keira had become friends with Nara, she couldn’t just ignore her, so she got up and went to visit Nara’s home.

As she drove to the alley where Nara lived, she saw Austin’s car parked not too far away.

He was gloomily smoking inside the car.

Upon seeing Keira, he directly spoke, “Nara won’t forgive me, what can I do?”

Keira: “I don’t know.”

In a sense, what Austin had done to Nara in the past was indeed too much, he was a complete villain.

How could Nara possibly forgive her brother just because she’s now recognized as his sister and is no longer being bullied?

Austin scratched his head, irritated, and said to Keira, “Let’s go see her together.”

Keira nodded.

The two of them walked towards the alley.

At this very moment.

Nara and Matias were supporting each other, having just arrived back home.

Matias’s leg had not fully recovered and he was limping as he walked.

Seeing his condition, Nara’s guilt deepened even more; it was all the Gill family’s fault! Matias’s leg had been broken by Jackson Gill.

But Jackson Gill dared to do it because he had the backing of Lady Gill and Austin, didn’t he?

Her expression grew increasingly cold.

Just as the two reached the doorstep, they caught sight of a young man about Nara’s age waiting for them. As they approached, he immediately ran over, “Nara, I heard you offended the Gills… Now you can’t even find a job, right? They forced you to jump off a building, and you nearly got hurt?”

Nara looked at the boy in front of her, a hint of softness shining through her eyes.

She immediately took out paper and pen and wrote: “I’m fine, you don’t need to worry.”

Matias, standing beside her, asked in a low voice, “Who is this? Your boyfriend? You’ve been secretly dating at university and didn’t even tell your brother?”

Nara’s face turned red.

The male student in front of her was indeed her boyfriend, Gary, but the two of them were reserved and restrained by nature. Especially since Nara was mute, she always felt undeserving of him, so they never went public about their relationship.

Gary heard this and immediately nodded at Matias, then looked at Nara, “Nara, this is too dangerous. Such a big thing happened, and you didn’t even let me know? My family might not be very wealthy, but we can still help you out. My mom can talk to Lady Gill, and with that… I’ll ask my mom to put in a good word for you; we can definitely get past this! Trust me!”
