Chapter 486
Chapter 488: Chapter 487 Chapter 488: Chapter 487 Keira Olsen could see that James Olsen was almost jumping out of his skin. She raised an eyebrow and nodded, “Why? Can’t I go p>
Of course she couldn’t go.
Just as James Olsen was about to say that, Ellis Olsen suddenly came over, “Keera, there’s something I want to talk to you about. Come with me for a moment p>
Keira Olsen nodded and followed Ellis to the side, “What’s up p>
Ellis inquired, “How’s Mary Davis doing lately p>
Keira opened her mouth, “She’s doing quite well p>
Ellis’s expression froze for a moment.
The child really was his.
This was something he had never expected. When he remembered how persistently Mary Davis had tried to keep the child, it was because she loved the child’s father.
He thought that Mary Davis liked him.
He assumed that Mary Davis avoided him because she resented him over the child. But if she was doing well, could it mean she no longer loved him?
Ellis lowered his gaze, letting out a bitter laugh.
Even if that were true, it was what he deserved.
He brought all of this upon himself and wouldn’t blame anyone else.
Ellis patted Keira Olsen’s shoulder and asked again, “About tonight’s banquet, will she be there p>
“She won’t go p>
Mary Davis needed to take care of her pregnancy, and now that her belly was showing, it wasn’t appropriate for her to attend such events. Moreover, Mary Davis had already cut ties with the Davis Family and had signed divorce papers with Ellis, so her appearance would be awkward.
Hearing this, Ellis nodded and then said, “In that case, I won’t go either. Please wish Lewis Horton a happy birthday for me p>
Leaving those words behind, he went out the door, heading towards the South Family’s home again.
This time, Keira Olsen did not stop him.
The love and hatred between Ellis Olsen and Mary Davis was their own affair; she shouldn’t get too involved.
She had been angry before because he didn’t accept the child or listen to reason, but now that she knew all this was the South Family’s scheming, she couldn’t hold a grudge against Ellis.
She even felt a tinge of guilt.
Surely the South Family’s targeting of him was because of her.
Keira Olsen was thinking this when Uncle Olsen, Mr. Olsen and his wife, the second uncle and second aunt–all five elders–walked out together.
Uncle Olsen looked directly at Keira Olsen, “Ready? Shall we head out p>
Keira Olsen nodded.
A troop of them got into the cars in grand fashion; the Olsen Family had to dispatch six cars to transport all the principal guests.
Keira Olsen and Uncle Olsen sat in one vehicle.
On the way, Keira glanced at the driver and just as she was about to ask Uncle Olsen if this driver was reliable, she heard Uncle Olsen speak, “A person’s driver is always their most trusted confidant because your life and fortune depend on this driver p>
Understanding his point, Keira directly spoke up, “I suspect that there’s a mole in the Olsen Family stirring up trouble p>
Keira shared her suspicions with Uncle Olsen and finally asked, “Who do you think it is among the four brothers p>
She had already ruled out James Olsen and Charles Olsen due to their frequent interactions.
Hearing this, Uncle Olsen glanced at her and then said, “None of your other four brothers would either p>
Keira paused, “Are they that trustworthy p>
“Yes p>
Uncle Olsen continued, “The Olsen Family has no internal strife, not in the past, nor in the future. That’s why the seven brothers would not separate their households. They grew up together and are kin whom they can trust with their backs p>
Keira Olsen nodded, “If it’s not them then p>
She frowned.
Uncle Olsen spoke again, “Let me investigate this matter. You don’t need to worry too much. We still have so many house staff, and there are many people who might want to see Ellis’s physical exam paperwork p>
Keira Olsen nodded, showing complete trust in him.
The two fell silent for a moment before suddenly thinking of something. Keira looked at Uncle Olsen, “Actually, there’s one more person in the Olsen Family that is worth suspecting p>
Uncle Olsen raised an eyebrow and inquired, “Who p>
Keira mentioned a name, and Uncle Olsen immediately let out a cold laugh, “I’ll send someone to investigate right away p>
Sitting in the car, Keira Olsen soon arrived at the Horton Family’s home.
The Horton Family’s main house in Clance was huge, located within the fifth ring–a manor that did not seem inferior to their original stronghold in Oceanion.
When the Olsen Family’s convoy arrived, the Hortons immediately came out, ready to welcome them.
The Horton Family had a full house of guests at that moment.
With Lewis Horton absent, Jake Horton, one of the younger Hortons, was greeting guests at the entrance.
His spirits were still low.
During his visit to Clance, he had gone to see Isla Olsen at the psychiatric hospital. Finding out that she, who was once sane, had been driven mad, he felt more agony than death when she threw herself at him begging for mercy, asking to be taken away, and even knelt to admit her previous wrongs, promising never to deceive him again.
Yet, Jake couldn’t summon any compassion.
Thinking about what she had done to Keira Olsen, about how she always knew she was the illegitimate daughter but deceived him, causing him to ultimately let Keira down and miss his chance with her, Jake wished he could kill Isla.
Had he not been concerned about social status and not given up pursuing Keira because of her background, could they now be living happily together?
Jake thought of this and his expression revealed a touch of desolation.
He truly loved Keira Olsen, having pursued her for four years at university and still missing her incessantly, four months after her passing.
His love was no less than that of his younger uncle.
Thinking of his younger uncle’s fiancee who would also attend today, Jake suddenly felt a trace of displeasure.
Keira had only passed away four months ago, and the younger uncle had already found new love. Did he do justice to Keira’s feelings?
Thinking of this, Jake clenched his fists tightly.
Therefore, he had a dim view of the upcoming visit from the Olsen heiress, so when he heard from the gatekeeper that the Olsen family had arrived, he deliberately did not announce their arrival inside.
He knew that for a family of the Olsen’s status, it wasn’t something he could handle alone.
It would require the presence of his parents, or his younger uncle, or even old Mrs. Horton to give the Olsens proper face.
But he didn’t want to give that face to the Olsens, so he sneered to himself.
Right then, Victoria Olsen suddenly came up to him with a smile, “Excuse me, are you Jake Horton p>
Jake paused for a moment.
Victoria then continued, “I am the adopted daughter of the Olsens. You must have heard of me, right p>
Jake nodded.
Victoria went on, “I’ve come to have a proper talk with you today… about something concerning Keera; she has a gigolo boyfriend outside p>
This revelation made Jake startled, “Who did you say p>
Keira?
