Chapter 145 -145

Taylor Olsen’s voice suddenly rose, “Although I have never acknowledged you as my daughter, the Olsen Family raised you, and this is how you speak to me?!”

His words caused everyone around to look over.

Mrs. Olsen immediately frowned and said, “Mind the occasion.”

Keira Olsen didn’t want to argue here either, so she simply lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Taylor Olsen snorted coldly, “Seeing her just annoys me, Shirley, let’s go wish Old Mrs. Horton a happy birthday!”

Mrs. Olsen, however, furrowed her brows, “With my current health, I’d rather not go before Old Mrs. Horton and bring bad luck. You go ahead, I’ll talk to Keira a bit more.”

Taylor Olsen then looked at Keira Olsen warily, “Shirley’s not in good health, don’t say anything nonsensical here to upset her, you hear?”

Keira Olsen ignored him.

Taylor Olsen felt it pointless, and eventually took Isla Olsen to Old Mrs. Horton’s side.

Once they finally left, and Isla Olsen didn’t notice anything here, Mrs. Olsen stepped forward and took her hand, “Keira, you…”

“M’am, are you feeling unwell again?”

Keira Olsen spoke first, interrupting her.

Mrs. Olsen paused, then coughed lightly, “It’s nothing, just the old problem.”

Keira Olsen was puzzled, “Coughing again? Didn’t I give you cough medicine? Didn’t you take it? Or have you run out?”

After saying that, she shook her head, “That shouldn’t be right, the bottle I gave you had a hundred pills, enough for three months.”

Mrs. Olsen smiled, “I’m fine, just been thinking a lot these days. Never mind me, Keira, about you and Mr. Horton, is everything really platonic?”

Keira Olsen knew Mrs. Olsen would ask this.

She didn’t want Mrs. Olsen to worry, so she began, “Actually, he and I…”

Before she could finish, an excited voice came, “My savior!”

Keira Olsen turned around and saw Rebecca Allen slowly walking over.

She had been using a wheelchair previously because she was too weak, but she had gotten better in the past two days and was now able to walk normally. She was wearing a pink dress today and approached Keira Olsen, affectionately linking her arm, “I missed you so much!”

The dependency in her voice was strong.

Mrs. and Mr. Allen helplessly followed behind, with Mr. Allen coming over and laughing, “This girl, she’s just too clingy! It’s only been a few days since she saw Miss Olsen, and she’s already talking like this.”

Mrs. Allen pretended to be angry, “She’s never been this dependent on me, her mother. Anyone who didn’t know better would think Miss Olsen was her real sister!”

Rebecca Allen gave a playful smile to both, then continued to look at Keira Olsen, and whispered, “Savior, even though I’ve been in the hospital, I’ve been following your situation. I’ve heard everyone whispering, saying there’s something unclear between you and Mr. Horton, but that can’t be true, right?”

Keira Olsen saw her clear eyes, seemingly free from past traumas and filled with concern, so she smiled, “Hmm, it’s all rumors. Between Mr. Horton and me…”

Before she could finish, Rebecca Allen said, “Your relationship must be completely innocent, I absolutely believe you! I’ve met Mr. Horton, so icy and aloof, how could he match up to you? Savior, you couldn’t possibly fancy him. But I heard you got married, what a pity. Otherwise, I’d introduce my brother to you—he’s quite the old unmarried man!”

“…”

Keira Olsen twitched her mouth, feeling at a loss for words.

Wanting to clarify her relationship with Lewis Horton, why does it have to be so difficult?

Before she could speak again, Mrs. Allen was already getting angry, “What way is that to talk about your brother? It’s only because he’s not here, otherwise, let’s see if you dare disrespect him like this!”

Rebecca Allen stuck out her tongue and whispered to Keira Olsen, “My brother heard that old Mrs. Horton is turning 86 this year and wanted to come, since our family and the Horton family have started a cooperation. But my dad is working on some photo that, I heard, will be restored in these next few days, and he insists my brother wait until the photo is restored before coming over~”

Keira Olsen asked with a smile, “Restoring old photos?”

Rebecca Allen nodded, “Yes, it’s a photo from twenty or thirty years ago. Dad, what photo are you having my brother restore, exactly?”

Mr. Allen smiled and looked at Keira Olsen and Mrs. Olsen, “That photo is somewhat related to Mrs. Olsen. Back in the day in Clance, I met Lady South a few times and we even took a group photo occasionally.”

At this, Mrs. Olsen’s eyes brightened, “My mother? Once the photo is restored, you must let me see it!”

Mr. Allen was taken aback, “You don’t have any photos of Lady South at your place?”

Mrs. Olsen shook her head and sighed, “Before I came to Oceanion, a fire suddenly broke out at home and burned all our photos…”

Her eyes revealed a hint of nostalgia, “These years, my health has been terrible, frequently falling ill, it’s been over twenty years, I’ve long forgotten what my mother looked like…”

On hearing this, Mr. Allen sighed and asked, “I also heard about it, felt it was a pity, but how did Lady South pass away? She was just in her forties then, in the prime of her life…”

Keira Olsen, realizing why Mrs. Olsen had been out of touch with Clance for so many years, was it because her mother had passed away long ago?

She perked up her ears, just to see Mrs. Olsen weakly smile, “Mother died in an accident.”

She seemed reluctant to elaborate.

Mr. Allen immediately sensed this and stopped asking, hinting, “When the photo is restored, I must show it to you and Miss Olsen!”

Mrs. Olsen paused slightly, then nodded.

Keira Olsen was a bit confused.

Why did Mr. Allen want to show her the photo?

But she didn’t ask much, because she was indeed curious about what kind of person Lady South was who could bring up someone with the demeanor of Mrs. Olsen…

As Mr. and Mrs. Allen spoke, they saw that the crowd around Old Mrs. Horton had dispersed, and they took the opportunity to say, “Rebecca, let’s go greet old Mrs. Horton first.”

This was good manners.

Although Rebecca was reluctant to leave Keira, she had to follow her parents over.

After they walked away, someone passed by Keira Olsen and Mrs. Olsen, discussing as they walked:

“Heard that today Mr. Horton is finally going to bring out that well-protected wife of his for everyone to see!”

“Really curious about what kind of person Mrs. Horton is…”

“Did you hear? Mr. Horton seems to have recently taken a young lover, apparently got caught in photos, the servants at Horton’s estate all know, Mrs. Horton probably came back because she found out about this…”

After they spoke, they walked away, leaving Mrs. Olsen looking anxiously at Keira Olsen, “Keira, I’m feeling unwell, perhaps you could take me home?”

Keira Olsen could only laugh and cry at this.

She knew this was the excuse Mrs. Olsen had found for her, wanting her to avoid the banquet.

Keira Olsen steadied her arm, “Mrs. Olsen, I’ll take you to see something.”

“What is it?”

“The marriage certificate.”
