How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire-Chapter 122 -
Chapter 122: Chapter 122
Outside the courtyard.
Seven or eight security guards surrounded Keira Olsen, closing in step by step.
Jake Horton saw the situation and couldn’t bear it in his heart, so he yelled, “Keira Olsen, just surrender quietly and leave the Horton family, and you won’t suffer! Otherwise, this is my home, and you’re intruding. If we killed you, we wouldn’t be legally responsible!”
Isla Olsen, whom he was supporting, bit her lip upon hearing these words, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.
Even at this time, Jake was still showing concern for her safety.
This Keira Olsen, she’s nothing but trouble!
No matter what, she had to be driven away today.
With that thought, Isla Olsen hypocritically said, “Keira, just go. Don’t worry, I’ll arrange a job for your husband in the Horton family. If you really have nowhere to go, you can also come back to the Olsen family…”
Keira Olsen turned to look at her, with a mocking smile on her lips, “You can’t even bear to have me in the Horton family, would you really be at ease if I truly went back to the Olsen family?”
Isla Olsen’s gaze flickered, of course, she couldn’t bear it!
But it was better than letting her stay here, latching on to Jake, always on his mind, strong as she was!
Isla Olsen hung her head, “What’s there to be unsure about? If you could go back and take care of mom and dad, I would be happy…”
“Hypocrite.”
Keira Olsen coldly spat out these two words.
Isla Olsen’s eyes reddened, and she continued to fake concern, “Keira, please leave. If you stay here, you’ll seduce Mr. Horton one moment, entangle with Jake the next, you’re going to cause trouble between uncle and nephew!”
Keira Olsen scoffed, “Don’t try to put Jake on a pedestal here. If I’ve been involved with Mr. Horton, why would I even glance at him?”
Jake Horton’s face froze.
Isla Olsen’s mouth twitched in response.
Melissa Knight angrily said, “How is my son inferior to Lewis Horton? In terms of looks…”
She paused slightly.
Although Jake Horton was a sunny, handsome boy, compared to Lewis Horton’s delicate face, he did indeed fall short.
She hastily changed the subject, “In terms of knowledge…”
The words halted again as soon as they were spoken.
It was true that Jake Horton managed to get into Oceanion University, a first-class university, which was impressive, but over the years Lewis Horton, not just another spoiled brat abroad, had completed his graduate studies at Stanford University; it really wasn’t comparable.
Melissa Knight swallowed dryly, brazenly continuing, “…is not much less than his uncle. My son is younger than his uncle by six years! Besides, Jake is much more filial and easy to control than Lewis! As for you, fixating on Lewis, you might be a lover at best, but if you cling to my son, who knows, you might even become the legitimate one day! As if nobody sees through your little schemes!”
Isla Olsen clenched her fists at this remark.
Melissa Knight’s words had hit the nail on the head as to why she had picked a fight with Keira Olsen as soon as she entered the Horton house. It was because of this!
Jake was easily swayed and could be deceived by her, just as he could be seduced by Keira Olsen!
Moreover, Jake genuinely liked Keira Olsen.
His gaze toward Keira Olsen was filled with an undeniable possessiveness.
Therefore, she had to drive this woman out today to prevent her from hooking up with Jake in the Horton house in the future.
“…”
Keira Olsen didn’t expect Melissa Knight to concoct so much nonsense and sneered, “Only you think Jake Horton is some treasure. In my eyes, trash belongs in the trash can! Just don’t divorce and go on to plague someone else. Isla Olsen, Jake Horton, I wish you eternal happiness, forever locked away!”
Jake Horton immediately became angry and embarrassed, “Keira Olsen!! Is this how you see me?!”
His whole body trembled with anger.
Four years of care and pursuit during university—to her, it’s all worthless?
Isla Olsen clenched her fists as well, “Keira Olsen, don’t talk big here. If you weren’t still hung up on Jake, how could you possibly get tangled up with your younger uncle? You deceived Great Grandmother, moved into the Horton family home, all just to meet with Jake, right?”
Hearing this, Jake Horton felt a little less suffocated in his chest.
Melissa Knight scoffed, “She’s just being stubborn, that’s all. Does she really think she’s Lewis Horton’s wife? She’s nothing more than his mistress! How dare she look down on my son… In the whole of Oceanion, who could compare to my son?”
To be fair, Jake Horton was indeed outstanding among the wealthy second generation of Oceanion.
Oceanion University is among the top ten universities in the country. How many of those rich kids could get in through college entrance exams? Most of them just go abroad to scrape together a degree.
And the Horton family is the wealthiest in Oceanion…
That’s exactly why Isla Olsen insisted on competing with Keira Olsen for Jake Horton!
After Melissa Knight said this, she looked towards Isla Olsen, “Daughter-in-law, why bother wasting your breath on her? I think she just needs a good beating! Security, you guys, teach her a lesson for me, let her know the price of belittling my son!”
No sooner had these words been spoken than the surrounding security guards surged forward!
Jake Horton furrowed his brows, unable to suppress the urge to speak up with a word of caution, “Don’t be too harsh…”
Before he could finish his sentence, his arm was gripped tightly by Isla Olsen.
Isla Olsen sighed, “Keira has always been stubborn and never admits defeat. Let her suffer a bit, so she won’t disrespect you again in the future.”
At her words, Jake’s eyes grew darker, yet he said no more.
…
Elsewhere.
Lewis Horton was in a meeting at Horton Group when he received a call from old Mrs. Horton and immediately stood up.
He ordered Tom Davis, “Get the car ready! We’re going home!”

“Yes.” Tom Davis, flustered, followed him out as they left hurriedly, leaving a roomful of bewildered executives:
“Did something happen to old Mrs. Horton?”
“Wasn’t it said that old Mrs. Horton’s condition was stable?”
“I’ve heard a little rumor over here…”
“What? Speak up!”
“I heard that Mrs. Horton might have returned to the country. Mr. Horton has always been secretive about Mrs. Horton’s information, which shows how much he values her. Could it be that something happened to Mrs. Horton?”
“…”
Lewis Horton didn’t hear a word of the people’s discussions.
He rushed to the underground parking garage and headed straight for the driver’s seat, “Get out.”
The driver, puzzled, got out, and in the next moment, Lewis Horton was behind the wheel.
The driver was stunned, “Mr. Horton, where are you going? I…”
Before he could finish, a buzzing sound of stepping on the gas came through; the Bentley luxury car had already sped away!
A business van, was driven by Lewis Horton with the force of a sports car.
Tom Davis, panting, caught up and seeing the situation, immediately gestured to the remaining bodyguards, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and follow!”
Lewis Horton sped all the way, quickly arriving at the Horton estate.
He didn’t park the car in the parking lot but drove straight to the courtyard outside old Mrs. Horton’s residence!
