How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire-Chapter 101 -
Chapter 101: Chapter 101
Keira Olsen’s gaze was cold, and her smile was wicked and flamboyant, carrying a hint of madness.
A sense of isolation from the world pervaded her.
Indeed, she had never felt a sense of belonging in this world.
As a child, Isla Olsen, along with her classmates, isolated and bullied her. After moving out of the Olsen family, she had been alone for many years, barely having any friends.
Therefore, the opinions and views of others were completely unimportant to her.
She was not afraid of the abuse on the internet, or even the criticisms in reality. The words of these reporters and Poppy Hill had never caused any disturbance in her heart from the beginning to the end.
So even if she did end up hitting someone and got criticized online, she didn’t care at all!
Thinking this, she slowly stepped forward, and a sudden, intensified hostility enveloped her!
The reporters immediately raised their cameras, as if ready to capture the moment she would strike first, making her the target of public condemnation across the internet!
But just at that moment!
A deep and solemn voice suddenly sounded, “Stop!”
Keira paused slightly, surprised, and looked down the stairs to see a tall figure walking briskly towards her.
Lewis Horton, in a custom suit, had a handsome face that filled with anger upon seeing the situation, waved his hand, and the bodyguards behind him rushed forward, separating Keira and the reporters around her, filling up the narrow staircase.
The bodyguards exuded an air of fierceness, each looking ferocious and intimidating, merely standing there sent chills down the spines of the reporters and Poppy Hill.
Josh swallowed hard, “Mr. Horton, what are you doing?”
Lewis’s eyes were dark and serious, “I suspect you are illegally interfering with Miss Olsen’s personal freedom!”
Josh hurriedly explained, “We were just conducting a normal interview…”
He himself spoke with a guilty conscience.
“Normal?” Lewis scoffed, “You might want to discuss that with my legal team.”
Leaving these words behind, he walked up to Keira, picked up her suitcase with one hand, grabbed her wrist with the other, and led her swiftly down the stairs.
This time, no one dared to stop them.
Keira followed him downstairs, and the moment they stepped out of the building, the sunlight washed away the shadows in her heart.
She looked up at the blinding sun with a cool demeanor and said softly, “You shouldn’t have come. Those reporters couldn’t trap me.”
Lewis then said, “You attacked someone; you will be criticized.”
“I’m not afraid of criticism.”
“But you shouldn’t be criticized.”
…
Keira was slightly stunned.
She was used to being criticized, used to being an outcast, used to putting up all her defenses, never expecting to hear these words one day.
The coldness around her gradually dissipated, and the distance in her eyes slowly faded.
Suddenly, she chuckled.
Lewis asked, “What are you laughing at?”
“Laughing at how miserable I am—Connor Hill must be having a worse time than me,” Keira said, her demeanor becoming more spirited, “He’s probably not going to hold on for much longer…”
If Connor Hill couldn’t stand it anymore and turned to Isla, they would break up, and she could produce Connor Hill’s evidence of murder, and he would reveal the secret that Finley Hill took to his grave after being arrested…
As they spoke, they approached Lewis Horton’s Bentley. The door opened, and Keira immediately saw Old Mrs. Horton with her white hair.
Old Mrs. Horton’s gaze fell on Lewis holding her hand… the Great Grandmother’s eyes sparkled, “Brat, you’ve made some progress!”
Only then did Keira realize that they were holding hands.
She immediately withdrew her hand, feeling the spot where the man had held her burning intensely.
Seeing Old Mrs. Horton’s smiling face, she shifted the conversation, “Grandmother, what are you doing here?”
Old Mrs. Horton immediately said, “Of course, to take the granddaughter-in-law home!”
“Home?”
“Yes!” Old Mrs. Horton’s eyes filled with anticipation, “I’ve had enough of that hospital. Granddaughter-in-law, you can’t stay here now, come home with me, will you?”
Just as Keira was about to refuse, Old Mrs. Horton said, “If you don’t come with me, then I’ll have to keep having you stay in the hospital with me, ah~”
…
Old Mrs. Horton’s illness had long since cleared up. She kept lingering in the hospital just to keep Lewis Horton and Keira close to her, to give them more chances to interact.
Lewis also spoke, “Miss Olsen, these reporters are relentless, only the Horton family can ensure your safety, so please consider staying with us for now.”
Keira, “…Okay.”
“Wonderful, granddaughter-in-law, let’s go home!”
The car quickly entered House One Manor, and after driving around winding roads for ten minutes, it finally reached the Horton Family gate.
Although it wasn’t her first visit, Keira Olsen was still amazed by the size of the manor.
No wonder Isla Olsen was so determined to marry Jake Horton and become the hostess here.
With that thought, the car reached the parking lot.

Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton helped Old Mrs. Horton out of the car and entered the living room.
As soon as they entered, they saw Isla Olsen trying to please Jake Horton, “Jake, don’t be mad at me anymore. I’ve already apologized to the Allen Family, and they won’t hold me accountable.”
Jake Horton’s expression was sour, and he initially didn’t want to pay her any attention, but upon hearing footsteps and seeing Keira Olsen enter, he stood up in surprise, “Keira Olsen, what are you doing at my house?!”
No sooner had he spoken than Old Mrs. Horton scolded, “I invited my daughter-in-law over! Do you have a problem with that?”
Jake Horton was stunned, “Daughter-in-law?”
Isla Olsen quickly said, “Jake, Great Grandmother seems confused, she mistook Keira for Mr. Horton’s wife…”
Jake Horton’s gaze swiftly swept over Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton, his frown deepening.
Lewis Horton suddenly spoke with increased emphasis, “Miss Olsen is a guest of Grandma and me. During this time, she will be staying at the Horton house.”
These words caused Isla Olsen’s pupils to constrict, and she clenched her fists tightly.
Her eyes turned red with jealousy.
She spoke directly, “Isn’t that inappropriate? Keira is now carrying the reputation of a murderer. If she stays, it might cause trouble for the Horton family… If reporters take photos, they might think the Horton family is shielding her, which could affect the Horton stock…”
As soon as those words fell, Lewis Horton’s icy voice came through, “Horton’s affairs are not your place to point fingers.”
Isla Olsen felt both embarrassed and annoyed, biting her lips tightly.
But suddenly, Jake Horton took her hand, and then spoke, “Uncle, Isla is thinking of the best for the Horton family, she is, after all, my fiancée.”
A thrill of joy ran through Isla Olsen!
Despite her efforts in recent days, Jake Horton had been indifferent to her, but now he was suddenly supporting her, using her to target Keira Olsen!
Isla Olsen was never love-struck; she always knew what she needed to do—since she still had value, Jake Horton would definitely not discard her.
What she needed to do now was… stay here and drive Keira Olsen out!
With that in mind, she gave Jake Horton a look and was about to say something when her phone suddenly rang.
Isla Olsen instinctively took it out and saw “Connor Hill” flashing on the screen.
It was a critical moment to win back Jake Horton; how could she answer the call from the other party?
Isla Olsen immediately hung up and continued, “Mr. Horton, I am not targeting Keira, but from a public relations standpoint, the Horton family should disassociate itself from any negative news, I…”
“Ring ring ring …”
The phone rang again.
Isla Olsen quickly picked it up and hung up again.
But before she could speak, the ringing resumed.
Jake Horton’s expression darkened, and he jerked his hand away, “You answer the phone first!”
Isla Olsen clenched her fist tightly, smiled apologetically at Jake Horton, and answered the call, “Hello, I’m busy. If there’s something, we can talk later…”
No sooner had she spoken than Connor Hill angrily said, “What could be more important than me?”
Isla Olsen tried to soothe him, “I really have something…”
“I don’t care, you need to come here now, immediately, I need you!” Connor Hill’s voice was very agitated, “I’m surrounded by reporters, they’re all cursing at me, and Aunt Poppy Hill has come to the school. She’s blocking my dormitory door and keeps cursing me—calling me an ungrateful wretch! Isn’t she the one who listens to you the most? Come and take her away!!”
Isla Olsen bit her lip, looked back at Jake Horton, and seeing his expectant expression—the only kind face he had shown these few days—she knew she couldn’t leave today.
Otherwise, Jake Horton would truly despise her!
Isla Olsen covered the receiver and said to Jake Horton, “Jake, I’ll step out to take the call, I’ll handle this quickly.”
Then she went out.
After she left, Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton looked at each other.
Lewis Horton immediately took out his phone, operated it for a moment, then took out a Bluetooth headset and handed it to Keira Olsen.
The surveillance of Isla Olsen and Connor Hill’s call was immediately synchronized into the headset.
She clearly heard Isla Olsen say, “Connor Hill, stop it, I have something very important right now, isn’t it just a few curses? Just bear with it for now…”
“I can’t bear it!” Connor Hill roared angrily, “You don’t understand this look, the way my classmates look at me is full of disdain and disgust. When I go to the cafeteria, the lady won’t even serve me food! Wherever I go, people are pointing fingers at me. Isla Olsen, take me with you, let’s elope, leave this city! Find a place where no one knows us!”
Isla Olsen, her patience exhausted, said irritably, “Enough! Where can we go if we leave here? Do you have money? Without money, what kind of life can we lead? In Oceanion, I am Miss Olsen; if I leave with you, can you give me the life I have now?”
Upon hearing this, Keira Olsen’s eyes narrowed slightly.
She thought it would take another couple of days for Isla Olsen and Connor Hill to fall out, but he couldn’t stand it after just one day.
While she was pondering, she heard Connor Hill roar, “I don’t have money, but I can make sure you can’t live the way you do now in Oceanion! Do you think your current life will last? Your current life is nothing but stolen from Keira Olsen!!”
