How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire-Chapter 117 -
Chapter 117: Chapter 117
Mrs. Olsen turned her head and looked at her, “What?”
Isla, who had been following closely behind the two of them, immediately tensed up and clenched her fists.
She stepped forward, wanting to interrupt their conversation, “Mom, Kiera, I…”
“Your matter can wait,” Mrs. Olsen cut her off and then turned to Kiera Olsen, “What were you just saying?”
Kiera Olsen earnestly said, “Mrs. Olsen, I don’t want to hide this from you, you can drive Poppy Hill away from the house, I am not Taylor Olsen’s daughter…”
Before she had finished speaking, Mrs. Olsen suddenly blacked out and fainted!
“Mrs. Olsen!”
Kiera Olsen was shocked.
…
“Mrs. Olsen has just tired herself out, it’s nothing serious, she just needs a good rest.”
The family doctor of the Horton Family, having examined Mrs. Olsen, said this.
Kiera Olsen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Old Mrs. Horton then patted her arm and said, “You, you’re worrying over nothing! Isn’t your mother in her forties? She’s still young; she’ll be fine.”
Having said that, she frowned again, “But your mother is too thin, she’s too frail, she needs to eat more meat!”
Kiera Olsen gave a wry smile but before she could explain, a sharp voice came from beside them, “Great Grandmother, that’s my mother! Not Kiera Olsen’s mother!”
Old Mrs. Horton glanced at her and snorted, “Hmm, she’s the mother of my grand-daughter-in-law, you wicked woman!”
Isla, biting her lip in anger, glared venomously at Kiera Olsen, “Is this what you say about us in public? Kiera Olsen, you truly are shameless!”
Kiera Olsen couldn’t be bothered to argue with her and even thought Isla was really cold-blooded.
She wasn’t concerned about Mrs. Olsen’s health; she was arguing over a title here…
Kiera Olsen then directed her attention to the family doctor, “When can Mrs. Olsen wake up?”
“The family doctor answered, “In about two hours.”
Kiera Olsen nodded and looked at Old Mrs. Horton, “Grandmother, could you possibly allow Mrs. Olsen to stay here…”
“Of course, that’s no problem, the mother of my grand-daughter-in-law is part of the family, she can stay here!” Old Mrs. Horton was very cheerful.
At these words, Isla’s voice reached them, “There’s no need, I’ve already informed my father, he’s on his way to pick her up, we wouldn’t want to bother Great Grandmother.”
Kiera Olsen frowned, “This place has all sorts of medical equipment, and the family doctor is excellent. At least let her stay here; we can leave once Mrs. Olsen regains consciousness.”
But Isla retorted, “Kiera Olsen, this is my mother, if I say there’s no need then there’s no need!”
Kiera Olsen’s jaw tightened as she looked at Mrs. Olsen.
It was winter now, and although the winters in Oceanion weren’t as cold as those in the north, the chilly wind outside was biting, and there was a distance to the parking lot from here…
Kiera Olsen took a deep breath, wanting to persuade her further when hurried footsteps came from the entrance. Taylor Olsen strode in, “How is Shirley?”
His expression was anxious, and upon seeing Mrs. Olsen, he immediately rushed over, ensuring her life was not in danger before he finally relaxed.
Then he realized his behavior might be inappropriate and turned to Old Mrs. Horton, “Old Mrs. Horton, thank you for taking care of Shirley…”
Old Mrs. Horton pursed her lips and humphed, “Grandson’s wife, your bad dad is here.”
“…”
Taylor Olsen felt awkward for a moment, knowing that Old Mrs. Horton was still upset about the previous incident with the clothes, and he didn’t dare say much more, merely requesting, “Old Mrs. Horton, the parking lot is a bit far from here, could I possibly drive over…”
Old Mrs. Horton liked peace and quiet, and she seldom went out, so she had no parking lot outside her little courtyard, fearing that cars passing by at night would disturb her.
Although Old Mrs. Horton was reluctant to speak to him, this matter involved Mrs. Olsen’s welfare, so she nodded, “Alright.”
Taylor Olsen sighed with relief, made a call for the driver to bring the car around, and then took off his coat to wrap Mrs. Olsen in it before bending down to pick her up.
His eyes were filled with careful tenderness as he held her, looking like he was cradling the most precious treasure; there was no faking that adoration.
Keira had always trusted him completely.
She had seen Taylor’s love and protection for Mrs. Olsen since she was a child.
It couldn’t be fake, and besides, no one can put on an act for so many years and be so consistently genuine in every aspect.
For so many years, Mrs. Olsen was the only one in Taylor’s eyes.
Back then, he even refused to accept Poppy Hill, and even though all these years Poppy and her daughter lived with the Olsen Family, Taylor never gave them a second glance.
Even the paternal love Taylor had for Isla was because of his love for Mrs. Olsen…
Now that he was being so thoughtful, Keira felt she couldn’t protest any further and simply followed them out the door.
Just as they reached the entrance, Melissa Knight approached. Her demeanor had changed from the arrogance she showed at the first meeting with Mrs. Olsen, now tinged with nervousness, “What’s happened to my co-mother-in-law?”
Isla immediately said, “It’s nothing…”
But Taylor didn’t stop in his steps, “It’s too cold here, I’m going to get Shirley into the car first.”
His apparent rudeness gave Melissa pause.
Isla hurriedly added, “Dad is just too concerned about Mom…”
Melissa twitched her mouth, then quickly took her hand, “Isla, my child, with your mother’s background, why didn’t you tell me sooner? Well, tomorrow morning, I’ll have Jake come pick you up so you can get registered, alright?”
After saying this, she gave an awkward smile, “The internet’s opinion of you isn’t good, and you understand, the Horton Family values their reputation. The wedding might not be as grand as expected, but there will be a chance to make up for it later!”
Isla had not expected things to move so quickly, and was ecstatic in the moment, “Okay, I’ll wait for Jake to come get me!”
She wanted to say more, but the Olsen’s car honked, and Taylor looked over with a frown, “Isla, are you coming or not? It’s cramped in the car and your mother is uncomfortable lying down.”
Isla immediately responded, “Coming.”
Keira stood by the car, peering through the window worriedly at Mrs. Olsen.
Just as Isla was about to get in the car, she suddenly turned to Keira, her gaze sharp, “Keira, my mother hates people who interfere with others’ marriages the most. If you want her to worry less about you, then leave the Horton Family quickly and live with your husband!”
Keira: “…”
The Olsen’s car soon left the Horton residence, and Melissa entered Old Mrs. Horton’s small villa, smiling, “Great Grandmother, Isla is pregnant with Jake’s child, so the marriage will continue as planned. To avoid embarrassment for the child, I’ve decided to have them get their certificate tomorrow. You don’t have any objections, do you?”
Upon hearing this, Keira hesitated for a moment.
She was unsure whether to stop the wedding or to turn a blind eye.
Isla’s child was Connor Hill’s… in principle, she should reveal the truth.
But if the Horton Family rejected the marriage, Mrs. Olsen would have to come begging again.
She couldn’t bear it.
While she was pondering, Old Mrs. Horton spoke up, “I’ve said it before, I don’t involve myself in Jake’s marital affairs. She can come into the family, but asking for shares of the inheritance is out of the question.”
Upon hearing this, Melissa frowned.
She struggled internally for a moment, then finally said, “That’s acceptable.”
After that, she boasted proudly, “Great Grandmother, do you know the background of Jake’s mother-in-law?”
Keira looked at her, curious as well.
She had always felt that Mrs. Olsen was different from the rest, carrying herself with a distinct pride.
She really wanted to know, what kind of family background did Mrs. Olsen come from?
