How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire-Chapter 17 - 16

Chapter 16: Chapter 16

The woman was holding the grandmother who had a ghastly pale complexion, her arms hanging down limply…

Lewis Horton suddenly strode towards them!

He seemed calm on the outside, but his heart was filled with panic and fear!

Great Grandmother was the person he was closest to in this world…

In recent years, her health had been deteriorating, and the family doctor had already hinted that old Mrs. Horton might not survive the year…

He couldn’t lose Great Grandmother!

...

Keira Olsen saw him approaching and guessed what was happening, but this wasn’t the time to talk about that; she urgently said, “Old Mrs. Horton is having a heart attack, and she just ran out of the nitroglycerin she carries with her; she needs her medication immediately.”

She paused, then added, “There won’t be any problems if she takes the medicine on time.”

Lewis Horton pursed his lips.

He reached out to take Great Grandmother and without looking back, dashed into the Horton estate.

Keira didn’t follow them inside; her legs were still being clutched by Poppy Hill.

Isla Olsen watched Lewis Horton’s retreating back and suddenly felt a wave of intense anxiety, “Could she possibly be Old Mrs. Horton?”

“How could Old Mrs. Horton possibly be with Keira Olsen? She is the grandmother of Keira’s husband!”

Poppy Hill released Keira, stood up, and dusted herself off, “Mr. Horton was so anxious, probably afraid it would turn into a fatal issue, which would make the Horton family appear negligent if word got out… Not a good look…”

She glared fiercely at Keira, “Isn’t she just relying on this, bringing the old woman to rush into the Hortons’ place?”

Isla frowned in thought.

Indeed.

It’s not possible that Keira’s punk husband could be Lewis Horton, right?

She was really overthinking it…

At this time, the gates of the Horton estate opened, and Jake Horton walked out.

Isla’s eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, “Jake, you could have just waited for me in the parking lot, why did you come all the way to the gate?”

Jake Horton had a displeased look on his face.

Isla had messaged that she was almost there but had a lot of gifts, coquettishly asking him to come out and meet her.

He had waited in the parking lot for a long time without seeing her and decided to come out to take a look.

He caught sight of Keira Olsen and paused in his step.

For a moment, his impatience faded, replaced with a trace of tenderness as he gently told Isla, “Right, it’s your first time here, and I was worried you might get lost.”

Isla ran up to him and, as if to proclaim her territory, shyly latched onto his arm and said, “Jake, you’re so kind~”

She probed, “Is Old Mrs. Horton at home?”

“She is.”

“She’s been at home all along? She didn’t go out today?”

“Right, Great Grandmother’s health isn’t good, she’s been resting at home.”

Old Mrs. Horton lived alone in a separate courtyard, not wanting them to disturb her.

Jake Horton spoke as if this was obvious; Isla believed it implicitly and completely relaxed.

Jake Horton blatantly stared at Keira Olsen.

He didn’t miss any subtle expression on the woman’s face, trying to find jealousy, envy or resentment.

But there was none, not a trace.

His expression gradually darkened.

Keira Olsen was preoccupied with thoughts of the old lady and didn’t pay any attention to their display of affection.

By now, she had pretty much confirmed that “the grandson” was indeed Lewis Horton.

She looked at the door, pondering whether she would be stopped if she entered now?

Suddenly, the scenery before her darkened.

Jake Horton stood in front of her and said directly, “Keira Olsen, you came to see me because you’ve come to your senses?”

Keira Olsen: ?

Jake Horton sneered venomously, “Just give me a call when you figure it out, who gave you permission to come to the Horton’s? Is the Horton family’s front door a place an illegitimate daughter can enter?”

“…”

Keira Olsen pursed her lips.

That stubborn look made Jake Horton’s heart suddenly soften, “If you really want to go in and take a look, you can also…”

Before he could finish, Isla Olsen interrupted, “Jake, you misunderstood, Keira is waiting for her husband’s grandmother. The old lady just had a heart attack and was carried inside by Mr. Horton to be saved…”

Jake Horton was slightly startled, “…Husband?”

Isla Olsen smiled, “Right, I haven’t had the chance to tell you yet, Keira is married…”

Jake Horton’s eyes turned red all of a sudden, his teeth clenched as he said, “Keira Olsen, who is that man?!”

He looked like he was catching an adulterer.

Keira Olsen’s eyes were filled with scorn, “Jake Horton, who my husband is has nothing to do with you.”

Jake Horton’s volume suddenly rose, “How does it have nothing to do with me? I want to see who dares to marry you without my consent!”

Isla Olsen quickly answered, “According to what Keira’s mom said, he’s a little punk.”

Jake Horton clenched his fists, speaking without a filter, “So you demean yourself like this? Well, an illegitimate daughter and a little punk are really a perfect match!”

Isla Olsen kept fanning the flames, “Keira must be very unwilling, that’s why she always clings to Mr. Horton…”

Keira Olsen sneered coldly, “Isla Olsen, you pride yourself on being a lady from a prestigious family, why is your mind filled with nothing but filthy thoughts? Is that all you have?”

Isla Olsen’s face stiffened, and she clenched her fingers tightly.

She sighed, “Keira, I know you’re doing this to get back at me and Jake, but Mr. Horton is already married, and you shouldn’t be trying to break up someone else’s marriage…”

Jake Horton exploded when he heard this.

He had been waiting for Keira Olsen’s call all these days, thinking that if she begged for mercy and showed some remorse, he might let her off the hook.

But it turned out she had already found someone new?!

He was enraged, “I was wondering why your husband’s grandmother would have an attack right at my door, turns out you were here to find my uncle? Keira Olsen, how shameless can you be!!”

He was burning with anger, his fury reaching the sky.

Pointing at Keira Olsen, he addressed the security guard, “See clearly? Remember this face, don’t let her step half a foot into the Horton’s!”

Isla Olsen looked down, hiding a triumphant smile at the corner of her lips.

At the Horton’s main gate, she could still make decisions…

However, the next moment, the housekeeper of the Horton’s came out from inside.

Her gaze swept over everyone and stopped in front of Keira Olsen, “Miss Keira, the master invites you in.”

Isla Olsen was stunned.

Jake Horton was dumbfounded.

Keira Olsen, however, lifted her eyes, her gaze mocking as she looked towards the security guard, “So, can I go in now?”

The security guard carefully glanced at Jake Horton and without hesitation, opened the door.

Who held the real power in the Horton’s was something he was well aware of…

…

The Horton’s home was vast.

Upon entering, a shuttle took Keira Olsen directly to the main house’s front door.

The housekeeper was respectful, “Old Mrs. Horton is already fine, she and the master are waiting for you in the reception room.”

Keira Olsen was relieved.

Just as she got out of the car, she saw the Olsen Family’s BMW X7 parked not far away in the parking lot.

Isla Olsen and Poppy Hill, led by Jake Horton, were storming her way, meeting Keira Olsen at the door.

Poppy Hill glared at Keira, “Mr. Horton probably wants you to take your grandmother home. After picking her up, leave quickly if you know what’s good for you, you nasty creature, don’t dirty the Horton’s carpet!”

As those words were spoken, everyone entered the living room and immediately saw Old Mrs. Horton seated in the main spot on the sofa.

The elderly lady glared at them, angrily saying:

“Wicked woman, whom are you calling a nasty creature?”
