How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire-Chapter 129 -
Chapter 129: Chapter 129
Keira Olsen had never considered making money through the stock market.
Initially, when she borrowed money from Mrs. Olsen, it was just an excuse.
But she would never let Mrs. Olsen engage in a losing deal, so after taking the money, she really did help her buy stocks.
She wasn’t lying; she did have inside information.
As Nora, she had developed so many clinical drugs that when many high-level individuals got sick and couldn’t wait for these drugs to hit the market, they had to purchase them from her.
Therefore, Keira Olsen actually had a very powerful hidden social network.
Just recently, someone who obtained medicine from her gave her a tip, which Keira herself didn’t use, but she passed it on to Mrs. Olsen.
At this moment, the stock on her phone screen was soaring, almost hitting the daily trading limit.
Everyone who looked was stunned.
The stock worth sixteen million had actually doubled!
It was a huge profit!
Mrs. Olsen was also astonished, “Isn’t this making too much money? Keira, didn’t you invest a lot, too? Take it out quickly; the stock market is not reliable in the long run; securing a small profit is enough.”
Mrs. Olsen thought things through and was never greedy.
Keira Olsen didn’t explain that she hadn’t bought any but nodded and said, “After I sell them tomorrow, I’ll transfer the money back to your account.”
Mrs. Olsen immediately said, “No need, this money was intended for your dowry. Isla said something right, you should buy an apartment of your own to live in with your husband.”
The implication of her words was clear.
Keira Olsen looked towards Isla Olsen and Jake Horton.
After thinking for a moment, she didn’t refuse, “Okay.”
Mrs. Olsen was then satisfied.
Isla Olsen took the opportunity to speak up, “Keira, it’s not that Mom is meddling, but being someone’s mistress, a homewrecker, is something that can never be justified. Look at your mother… she has lived her entire life in the shadows, not happy at all. If you have children in the future, they will be like you, with an awkward status, in a situation that doesn’t inspire sympathy. If their life is good, people will say it’s all schemed for, if not, people will say they got what they deserved…”
Keira Olsen tightened her jaw and put down her chopsticks, about to speak.
“Shut up!”
Mrs. Olsen gave a sharp reprimand, cutting Isla Olsen off. She was shocked as she looked at Isla, “How can you say such things?!”
But Isla Olsen just sneered.
She was already married to Jake Horton and no longer needed to look at Mrs. Olsen’s face, so she directly said, “I’m only speaking the truth, am I wrong? Besides, I’m doing this for Keira’s own good. Or do you, Mother, think Keira’s status is fine? You don’t mind Poppy Hill at all?”
Mrs. Olsen was at a loss for words.
Isla Olsen continued, “I really haven’t seen any other family where the illegitimate daughter is treated so sincerely by the Family Head. Even my father said he wouldn’t bother with her, yet you treat her like a treasure. Mother, do you value her more than your own daughter?”
She lowered her head and began to wipe her tears, then turned to Keira Olsen, “Are you satisfied to see me scolded by Mom like this?”
Keira Olsen felt Isla Olsen was being absurd, not understanding what craziness she was on about.
The next moment, Jake Horton suddenly stood up, looking angrily at Keira Olsen and said, “Enough! An illegitimate daughter causing trouble in this family, Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, I think you really should reflect on your issues! I used to think Isla had changed, but it turns out that Isla has lived in a family like this since she was young, and your partiality is the real reason for what Isla has become!”
With his distinguished status, Taylor Olsen did not dare to refute what Jake Horton said.
Mrs. Olsen wanted to say something, but seeing Isla Olsen’s victim-like demeanor, she couldn’t find the words. At the same time, she was deeply reflecting.
Could it be that she had been too harsh on Isla since she was little?
Mrs. Olsen looked lost in thought.
Jake Horton then turned to Keira Olsen, “And you, you think you’re concerned about Mrs. Olsen, but do you know that you have no right to be? What gives you the status to care about her? Every time you show concern, it adds a rift for Mrs. Olsen and Isla!”
After saying this, he frowned, “Illegitimate daughter, just stay in the dark corner where you belong, and stop coming out to disgust people!”
His words seemed to be scolding Keira Olsen but also seemed to be accusing someone else through her.
Keira Olsen clenched her jaw.
Mrs. Olsen finally spoke up to scold, “Jake Horton, that was too much!”
She would never grovel to him because of his high status.
Taylor Olsen quickly patted her hand, but Mrs. Olsen pulled her hand back and frowned at Jake Horton and Isla Olsen, “It is not Keira’s choice where she comes from. It’s unfair to her to speak like that!”
Isla Olsen burst into tears, “But by doing this, letting her share my mother’s love, is that fair to me?”
Jake Horton also frowned, “Mother-in-law, you need to get it straight, Isla is your daughter! Keira Olsen is your enemy!”
Mrs. Olsen wanted to say more, but Keira Olsen tugged at her arm, “Mrs. Olsen, let’s not argue.”
Mrs. Olsen paused.
Keira Olsen stood up, she looked around and put on an indifferent expression, “Mrs. Olsen, I came today just to see how you were. Now that you’re well, I’ll be leaving.”
Mrs. Olsen pursed her lips, looked around, and finally said helplessly, “Then I’ll see you out.”
“Alright.”
Mrs. Olsen walked her to the door, and as Keira Olsen got into the car, she asked, “Will you come again?”
“No.”
Keira Olsen’s reply left a void in Mrs. Olsen’s heart. Then she heard Keira laugh, “But we can meet outside. Haven’t you not met my husband yet? Next time, I’ll introduce him to you properly.”
A smile blossomed on Mrs. Olsen’s lips, “Good.”
The Horton family’s Bentley luxury car quickly left the Olsen residence.
After the car turned a corner and disappeared from sight, Mrs. Olsen suddenly turned back and grabbed Aunt South’s hand, passing her a strand of hair she had plucked from Keira Olsen’s head, “Find an agency and have a paternity test done to see if Keira is really Taylor’s daughter.”
Aunt South was taken aback, “Do you mean?”
Mrs. Olsen looked down, not answering.
Aunt South understood not to ask any further and nodded.
Mrs. Olsen then re-entered the dining room, only to see Isla Olsen, Jake Horton, and Taylor Olsen chatting and laughing again—as though as long as Keira Olsen wasn’t at home, they could be a harmonious and happy family.
But peculiarly, Mrs. Olsen felt as if something was missing.
After joining them, she didn’t bring up Keira Olsen again.
The family of four finished their meal and then returned to the sofa for a chat. When Isla Olsen and Jake Horton were ready to leave, it was already eight o’clock at night.

Mrs. Olsen and Taylor Olsen saw them out the living room door when suddenly the nanny ran over in a panic, “Mrs. Olsen, Miss Keira’s husband has arrived!”
