My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！ - Chapter 680

Jake stared, confused. “What do you mean?”

Lewis didn’t respond.

Keira, however, understood the implication.

The day Grandma wasn’t around was the day the main branch of the Horton family would be ousted. Oliver’s bankruptcy was only a matter of time…

Previously, Lewis might have felt some guilt toward Grandma since he was dealing with the main branch, but now…

Keira looked at Jake.

When Lewis suddenly said he wanted to invest with her in Jake’s project, Keira understood. The main branch wouldn’t fall into decline.

After all, there was still Jake.

If Lewis allocated the shares that should have gone to the main branch to Jake, everything would be perfect.

Unfortunately, Jake hadn’t grasped Lewis’s words…

Keira was lost in thought as the car left the street and dropped Jake off at a location convenient for him to catch a cab. She then drove back to the Horton residence with Lewis.

While earning money and building a career was important, spending time with loved ones was just as crucial.

Both of them had agreed to set aside their work for the month to spend time with Grandma.

As the car parked in the lot, they walked toward old Mrs. Horton’s small courtyard…

Before they reached it, Oliver suddenly appeared in front of Keira. He frowned and stared at her. “Are you Keira Olsen? I just heard you mention something about old classmates?”

Oliver had been so focused on his anger that he had overlooked that the person in front of him was Keera. The mention of “old classmates” seemed increasingly out of place.

Keira gave him a half-smile. “Oliver, are you still not satisfied?”

“What do you mean?”

“Your son disobeyed you, and you just can’t get over it, can you?”

Oliver’s expression changed abruptly. “What are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense!”

“You’re not upset? I thought you were dwelling on our argument, trying to rehash it here!”

Oliver was shocked.

He was indeed replaying it, wondering why his son chose “Keera’s” investment over his own! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The main branch held thirty percent of the Horton Group shares, worth several billion! Had Jake given it all up?

Was it just for “Keera’s” little investment?

That idiot must have been misled by this woman!

So, was this woman actually Keira?

Oliver wasn’t a fool and wouldn’t be easily misled by Keira’s diversion. He sneered. “You are Keira Olsen, aren’t you?”

Keira responded coolly, “I’m Keera Olsen. I have a daughter named Erin, and my father is Uncle Olsen. What’s this? Are you trying to verify my identity?”

Oliver furrowed his brows. “Then what did you just say to Jake about old classmates?”

“You heard wrong.”

“I…”

Keira ignored him and walked directly into old Mrs. Horton’s room with Lewis.

As they entered, they heard a delicate, timid laugh.

A weak voice was saying, “Grandma, I come from a poor background and haven’t seen much of the world. Please don’t be mad at me…”

Then Selena’s voice came through. “Mom, Great-Grandma is a kind person. She won’t be mad at you!”

The timid voice continued, “But didn’t Grandma just try to chase me out? Isn’t she mad at me?”

Then Selena’s voice chimed in, “Grandma, my mother is new to the Horton family. Please don’t hold it against her. She’s had a hard life and hasn’t seen much. She’s just made a mistake. You won’t be angry with her, right?”

Old Mrs. Horton was bewildered by these words.

What a typical act!

These two had shown up at her courtyard early in the morning and insisted on chatting with her.

The mistress then lamented about how she had few pieces of jewelry and how, despite being with Oliver for years, she never received any gifts from the family, which made her feel unworthy.

Old Mrs. Horton found it amusing and retorted, “If you want something, go ask Oliver’s father! What good is crying to me?”

With just that one sentence, the mistress was now crying and whining!

She claimed she was being looked down upon…

She said she came from a poor background, with Selena chiming in, making it seem like they were being mistreated.

Now, it seemed like not giving them a few pieces of jewelry was a grave mistake.

How could there be such people in the world?!

Old Mrs. Horton frowned, feeling a headache coming on with the constant whining from the mother and daughter duo, which was making her increasingly agitated.

At this moment, Keira and Lewis walked in decisively.

Seeing them, old Mrs. Horton’s eyes lit up as if she had found a savior!
