My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

491  Chapter 490

Keira saw that James was almost jumping with eagerness, so she raised her eyebrows and nodded. "What's the matter? Can't we go?"

Of course, they couldn't go.

James was about to say this when Ellis suddenly came over. "Keera, there's something I need to discuss with you. Come here for a moment."

Keira nodded and followed Ellis to the side. "What's up?"

Ellis asked, "How has Mary been recently?"

Keira said, "She's been pretty good."

Ellis's expression faltered for a moment.

The child really was his.

That was something he hadn't anticipated, and he recalled how Mary had tried to keep the child because she loved its father.

He believed that Mary had feelings for him.

He thought Mary would resent him because of the child and thus avoided him, but if she was doing quite well, did that mean she no longer loved him now?

Ellis looked down and let out a bitter smile.

Even if it was true, he had it coming.

All of this was his own doing; he wouldn't blame anyone else.

Ellis patted Keira's shoulder and then asked, "Will she attend the banquet tonight?"

"She won't."

Mary needed rest, and her belly had begun to swell; it wouldn't be suitable for her to attend such events. Moreover, Mary had cut ties with the Davis family and had signed a divorce agreement with Ellis. It would be somewhat embarrassing for her to appear in public.

Hearing this, Ellis nodded and then said, "Then I'll stay away too. Pass on a 'happy birthday' message to Lewis for me."

After leaving that message, he went straight out the door, heading in the direction of the South residence again.

This time, Keira didn't stop him.

The love and hatred between Ellis and Mary was their own business, and she shouldn't interfere too much.

She had been angry because he didn't listen and wouldn't recognize the child, but now, knowing that all of this was a ploy by the South family, she could not hold a grudge against Ellis anymore.

She even felt somewhat guilty.

He must have been targeted because of her.

As Keira was thinking this over, Uncle Olsen, his two brothers, and their wives walked out together.

Uncle Olsen looked straight at Keira. "Are you ready? Shall we set off then?"

Keira nodded.

A grand procession got into the cars; the Olsen family mobilized six vehicles to transport everyone.

Keira and Uncle Olsen rode together in one car.

On the way, Keira glanced at the driver and was about to ask Uncle Olsen if the driver was reliable when she heard Uncle Olsen begin. "A person's driver is always their most trusted confidant because your life and your wealth are in the hands of this driver."

Keira understood his implication and immediately said, "I suspect there is a mole in the Olsen family..."

Keira shared her suspicions with Uncle Olsen and finally asked, "Who do you think it is among the four brothers?" novelbin

She had already ruled out James and Charles, having had the most contact with them.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Olsen glanced at her and then said, "Your other four brothers wouldn't do such a thing either."

Keira hesitated. "Are they that trustworthy?"

"Yes," Uncle Olsen replied. "The Olsens won't have internal strife. There wasn't any before and there won't be any in the future. That's why the children of the Olsen family don't want to divide the family. The seven brothers grew up together and are relatives who can trust each other with their backs."

Keira just nodded. "Then if it's not them..."

She furrowed her brow. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Uncle Olsen said, "I will look into this matter. You don't need to worry too much. With so many servants at home, there are actually many people who could be suspected of wanting to see Ellis's physical examination report."

Keira nodded, looking completely trusting.

The two fell silent for a moment, then suddenly both seemed to think of something. Keira looked at Uncle Olsen and said, "Actually, there's another person in the Olsen family who is worthy of suspicion..."

Uncle Olsen raised his eyebrow in inquiry, "Who is it?"

Keira mentioned a name, and Uncle Olsen immediately let out a cold laugh. "I will send someone to investigate this right away."

...

Their car soon arrived at the Horton residence.

The Horton family's main residence in Clance was very large, located within the fifth zone. It resembled a manor and seemed no less impressive than their old headquarters in Oceanion.

When the Olsen family's motorcade arrived, the people of the Horton family immediately came out, ready to welcome them.

At this very moment, the Horton residence was already brimming with guests.

Lewis wasn't present, and Jake, as the younger generation of the Horton family, greeted guests at the doorway.

His state of mind was still very poor.

When he visited Clance, he had gone to the mental hospital to see Isla and found that the once sane person had been driven to madness. Upon seeing him, Isla rushed over begging for mercy, wanting him to take her away, even kneeling on the ground and admitting she had been wrong before and promising she would never deceive him again.

Her condition was indeed more distressing than death itself.

Yet, Jake couldn't muster a shred of sympathy.

Thinking of the things she had done to Keira, and knowing that she had always been aware that she herself was the illegitimate daughter, yet she lied to him, causing him to ultimately fail Keira, making him miss out on Keira, he almost wished he could kill Isla.

If he hadn't cared about social status in the past, if he hadn't given up pursuing Keira because of Keira's identity, would they be happily together now?

These thoughts left Jake with a trace of melancholy in his expression.

He truly loved Keira. Having courted her for four years in college, he loved her to the extent that four months after her death, he still couldn't stop thinking about her.

His love was no less than that of his younger uncle's.

Thinking that his younger uncle's fiancee would also be coming today, Jake suddenly felt a hint of discomfort.

It had only been four months since Keira's death, and his younger uncle had already moved on to a new love. Was he really honoring Keira's love?

With these thoughts, Jake clenched his fists tightly.

Therefore, he didn't hold a good impression of the imminent visors from the Olsen family, and when he heard the gatekeeper announce the arrival of the Olsen family, he intentionally didn't pass the message inside.

He knew that the status of the Olsen family meant that it wouldn't be proper for him alone to receive them.

Parents or his younger uncle should come out to welcome them, or even old Mrs. Horton should appear to give the Olsen family the respect they deserved.

But he didn't want to give the Olsen family that respect, so he just scoffed.

Just then, Victoria suddenly appeared before him, and with a smile, she said, "Excuse me, are you Jake?"

Jake paused slightly.

Victoria said, "I am the Olsen family's adopted daughter. You must have heard of me, haven't you?"

Jake nodded.

Victoria continued, "I am here today to have a proper talk with you… about Keera and her gigolo boyfriend outside..."

At those words, Jake was momentarily stunned, "Who did you say?!"

Keira?
