Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

At that moment, Mrs. Olsen thought of many things.

She had always lived in Oceanion under a pseudonym and never even revealed her identity or connections to Isla, causing Isla to take a roundabout path to marry into a wealthy family.

Now it was Keira’s turn…

Her status was higher than Isla’s, and her situation was even more difficult.

How could the matriarch of a top-tier family like the Horton Group come from an ordinary middle-class family?

So…

Mrs. Olsen lowered her gaze.

The matter between her and Uncle Olsen was after all a grudge from the older generation, which was unrelated to Keira.

Keira had the right to know who her biological father was.

Uncle Olsen had remained unmarried for so many years; if he had a daughter, he would surely love her twice as much. With the Clance Olsen family as her ’ backup, Keira would be able to set her footing in the Horton family quickly. Mrs. Olsen’s lips curved into a mocking smile.

in the end, it seemed that even top-tier families like these were still particular about marrying equals…

Seeing her relent, Ellis raised an eyebrow at Keira. “Your mom has agreed Shall we set a time and place?”

But Keira looked at Mrs. Olsen and said indifferently, “Sure, my mom said yes but I know she didn’t really want it.”

Mrs. Olsen was taken aback.

Keira continued. “Mom, if you won’t see him, neither do I need to.”

upon hearing this, Mrs. Olsen gazed at Keira and saw her standing there with an air of casual grace. She suddenly laughed.

She had been mistaken.

Isla had always been someone who chased fame and fortune, which was why she blamed her, but Keira was different.

From her childhood, Keira had always relied on herself; she took to heart the words Mrs. Olsen had once taught them, never changing over the span of more than twenty years.

Mrs. Olsen laughed. “Then we won’t meet.”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

The mother and daughter shared a smile as they looked at each other; a deep understanding lay hidden between them, not needing words to be comprehended.

However, Ellis couldn’t accept this. “Hey, you can’t go back on your word like that. Mrs. Olsen, you have no idea how difficult Keira is having it in the Horton family right now!”

He pulled up a chair and sat beside Mrs. Olsen’s bed. “I just got wind of something. The illegitimate daughter from the Horton family’s first branch has made contact with the Cobb family in Clance. If their union succeeds, the first branch will surely dominate. By then, Lewis’s position as the family head and as CEO of Horton Group might well have to be handed over!”

Keira said with a smile, “Mom, don’t listen to his nonsense. It’s not that serious. Lewis definitely has other plans.”

The man’s strength was unfathomable; Horton Group wasn’t all he had.

Ellis’s mouth twitched. “You’re quite confident in him.”

“Of course, my mom likes Lewis too.”

Ellis’s eyes flickered, and he said, “What about the clinical trial spot at the Clance Research Institute? Old Mrs. Horton’s dementia is getting worse; you should be exploring options and preparing to get a spot for the old lady to try again, right? Let me tell you, my family has connections in that area too!” Keira was perplexed.

She frowned slightly and looking at Ellis’s expression, she finally understood why they needed her to personally choose the trial spot in Clance.

The officials at the Clance Research Institute could withstand the temptation of money, but not the pressure of power!

Could they resist caving in if a family like the Clance Olsen family applied pressure?

Seeing Ellis’s confident demeanor, it was clear it was impossible.

They had thrown a hot potato at her.

Keira stroked her forehead and twitched the corner of her mouth.

Her demeanor, however, led Ellis to misunderstand. He immediately said, “The

i egitimate daughter from the first branch of the family leveraged the Cobb family in Clance to secure a spot. Do you really think she’s showing filial piety to old Mrs. Horton? Just you wait. Once the medicine is used, she’ll demand a kmg’s ransom! If Lewis doesn’t transfer five percent of the shares to her as a dowry, this deal won’t go through! And with an additional five percent the Horton family’s first branch will hold fifty-four percent of the company shares, and they’ll call a board meeting and oust Lewis from his position!” Ellis raised an eyebrow. “So, Keira, come with me to see my uncle. With Uncle Olsen stepping in, everything will be fine.”

Keira tapped her chin. “Is the Clance Olsen family that powerful?”

“Of course, we are one of the top five families!”

Ellis was extremely proud. “My uncle probably wants to take you in as his goddaughter. With the Olsen family backing you, you’ll be able to do anything in Oceanion from now on!”

Keira laughed. “Well, thank you very much for that!”

Ellis excitedly stood up but heard Keira add another line. “But really, there’s no need; having my mom is enough for me.”

Ellis was dumbfounded.

He blinked, stunned, and then his face darkened. “Keira, don’t be an ingrate’ Do you know how many people in Crera want to cozy up to my uncle? This is the first time he’s actually going out of his way to offer a favor to someone!” Keira said seriously, “Then you can’t let him be humiliated like that.”

Ellis was shocked.

Why were her words so infuriating?!

He was almost jumping with agitation. “How can you be so clueless!”

Keira spread her hands. “Born this way. Can’t help it.”

Ellis was dumbfounded.

He stared at Keira and then glanced at Mrs. Olsen, finally realizing something “All this talk about your mom. It turns out you’re really a mama’s girl!” Instead of getting angry at this remark, Keira’s eyes lit up. She suddenly found the title endearingly reassuring and smiled sweetly.

Ellis was speechless. How starved of affection was she, to be content with just her mom’s love? It was just unbearable to watch!

Then he heard her voice, cold yet tinged with excitement. “Do you have any other business? If not, please don’t disturb my mom’s rest. She just woke up and she’s still weak.”

Elhs was thus chased out of the hospital room, and standing at the door, he watched Keira. She was devoid of that prickly attitude he’d sensed at their first meeting. She was now compliant and adorable.

“Mom, want some water?

“Mom, it’s time for your medicine…

“Mom…”

All her “Mom” made Ellis feel like he was seeing his five-year-old nephew who would incessantly call out to his mom at home and drive his sister-in-law crazy every day.

Yet Mrs. Olsen would always look at her daughter with a gentle smile, showing not a hint of impatience.

Dragged down by his thoughts, Ellis returned to the hotel and entered Uncle Olsen’S room. He then ranted and jumped about how Keira was “unable to recogmze favor” and ended in a huff. “Uncle, she’s not your daughter, so there’s really no need to spoil her!”

Unexpectedly, upon saying this, he saw Uncle Olsen smile. “Her temperament is indeed very much like Miss Jodie’s.”

A sudden sense of foreboding washed over Ellis. Sure enough, the next moment he heard his uncle say, “Since she’s unwilling to meet me, then I’ll have to go to her.”

Ellis was stunned. “Where will you meet her?”

Uncle Olsen pondered for a moment and then smiled. “I cannot go to the Olsen residence, but the Horton’s, I can still visit, can’t I? I heard their old lady is ill. I’ll pay them a visit tomorrow.”

Ellis was shocked..
