Chapter 323
Chapter 325: Chapter 324 Chapter 325: Chapter 324 Ellis Olsen was staring at Lewis Horton’s face at the moment.
The man was dressed in casual clothes, looking several years younger than his actual age. If someone said he was a college student, people might believe it.
That handsome face, just like when he was studying abroad, attracted the attention of the women around.
Ellis knew that this guy had been in Clance for a while.
But he had asked to meet with Lewis Horton several times, and each time Lewis refused!
He had thought this guy was still wallowing in his heartache, unable to get out. How could he suddenly appear here p>
Hesitating, Ellis had just gotten up to Lewis Horton when Christina Olsen and Victoria Olsen came over and called out, “Big brother p>
The Olsen family’s third branch hadn’t split, so they all followed the order of the three families.
Ellis Olsen was the eldest of their generation.
Ellis nodded to his two cousins.
Although they were not blood-related and hence not as close as real sisters, these two girls had grown up with him after all, and Ellis was relatively gentle to them.
He nodded, then looked at Lewis Horton again, ready to speak, when Christina blurted out, “Big brother, do you know him p>
Christina pointed at Lewis Horton sitting on the sofa.
Ellis was about to nod when he saw the man give an almost imperceptible shake of his head.
Was that… not wanting to reveal his identity?
What was he doing dressed like this, showing up here, and not revealing his identity p>
While Ellis was full of question marks, Christina said, “He’s Keera’s boyfriend, the CEO South. I heard that right after Keera got divorced, she found him for solace, and he’s apparently still a college student. Brother, do you know him p>
Ellis: p>
He looked at Lewis Horton with a straight face.
What did he just hear p>
Lewis Horton, the man in school who was so haughty and reckless, giving off a ‘keep away from me’ vibe, had actually faked his own identity, pretending to be a college student, to be Keera’s gigolo p>
Following Christina’s direction, Ellis looked toward a spot not far away.
He first noticed Mary Davis but quickly averted his eyes, then finally looked at Keira Olsen.
Ellis then looked back at Lewis Horton and twitched the corner of his mouth.
… No, could it be?
This man, always so upright on the surface, was actually wilder than he played in private? Was he creating some kind of literary body-double scenario here p>
No wonder when Keira Olsen had just died, he looked like he had completely given up on life, but looking at him today, his eyes had a glint of light, and his face had even softened a lot.
So he found a substitute for Keira Olsen p>
Ellis suddenly imagined an entire domineering CEO novel in his mind, and looking at Lewis Horton again, his gaze became complex.
He was feeling a mix of betrayal, desolation, misery, and anger.
He felt betrayed for Keira Olsen.
How could he find someone else here just over a month after she had passed away p>
He felt desolation and misery for Lewis Horton.
His wife had been dead for over a month, and he hadn’t gotten over it, finding a body-double as his emotional crutch. He must be struggling inside, right? Was he also feeling the pain and regret, yet because he could see Keera’s face, which resembled Keira Olsen’s, he was helplessly addicted to it?
Lastly, he felt anger for Keera.
So that’s why Keera, infatuated with love, decisively divorced her husband. After all this time, did she already have her next man lined up? But did she know that the gigolo she loved dearly, the man who deceived her out of a painful marriage, was just using her as a substitute p>
For a moment, Ellis felt his mind was a complete mess.
He found it difficult to even look straight at Lewis Horton.
What a heart-wrenchingly painful plot!
Unbelievable!
Ellis coughed, then heard Christina ask again, “Big brother, you haven’t said yet. Do you know him p>
“Um p>
Ellis covered for him, “I don’t know him p>
Christina then breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew it!
How could a mere college student, a gigolo, possibly know her brother!
Christina immediately turned to Victoria and voiced the question at the back of her mind, “Big brother, you just said the Horton and Olsen families are entering a marriage alliance… Has Mr. Horton come to Clance? When will you arrange a meeting p>
Ellis instinctively looked at Lewis Horton, “Lewis Horton? What do I need to meet with him for p>
Christina laughed, “Of course to meet with Victoria… to meet us. After all, we’re entering a marriage alliance p>
Victoria immediately looked down, pretending to be shy.
Ellis frowned and said, “Is that really necessary p>
Christina and Victoria froze slightly.
They don’t need to meet before marriage?
Are the two families really going for a blind and mute marriage arrangement?
But then again…
Even if they do meet and find they’re not a good match, what then?
They would still enter the marriage alliance…
Christina reassured Victoria with a glance, “Okay, it’s fine if we don’t meet. But do you have a photo of Mr. Horton? Let us have a look p>
Ellis was silent.
He did have one.
But he couldn’t give it!
He coughed and said, “I don’t have one, why would a man keep another man’s photo p>
Victoria felt disappointed again.
Christina went straight to the point, “What does Mr. Horton actually look like then? Is he very old? It shouldn’t be the case. We’re all from noble families; the grooming must be exceptional, and I’ve heard Mr. Horton is quite handsome… Big brother, what does Mr. Horton really look like p>
Ellis, annoyed by her nagging, simply pointed to Lewis Horton and blurted out, “He looks like this p>
