680 Chapter 679
Jake stared, confused. āWhat do you mean?ā
Lewis didnāt respond.
Keira, however, understood the implication.
The day Grandma wasnāt around was the day the main branch of the Horton family would be ousted. Oliverās bankruptcy was only a matter of timeā¦
Previously, Lewis might have felt some guilt toward Grandma since he was dealing with the main branch, but nowā¦
Keira looked at Jake.
When Lewis suddenly said he wanted to invest with her in Jakeās project, Keira understood. The main branch wouldnāt fall into decline.
After all, there was still Jake.
If Lewis allocated the shares that should have gone to the main branch to Jake, everything would be perfect.
Unfortunately, Jake hadnāt grasped Lewisās wordsā¦
Keira was lost in thought as the car left the street and dropped Jake off at a location convenient for him to catch a cab. She then drove back to the Horton residence with Lewis.
While earning money and building a career was important, spending time with loved ones was just as crucial.
Both of them had agreed to set aside their work for the month to spend time with Grandma.
As the car parked in the lot, they walked toward old Mrs. Hortonās small courtyardā¦
Before they reached it, Oliver suddenly appeared in front of Keira. He frowned and stared at her. āAre you Keira Olsen? I just heard you mention something about old classmates?ā
Oliver had been so focused on his anger that he had overlooked that the person in front of him was Keera. The mention of āold classmatesā seemed increasingly out of place.
Keira gave him a half-smile. āOliver, are you still not satisfied?ā
āWhat do you mean?ā
āYour son disobeyed you, and you just canāt get over it, can you?ā
Oliverās expression changed abruptly. āWhat are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense!ā
āYouāre not upset? I thought you were dwelling on our argument, trying to rehash it here!ā
Oliver was shocked.
He was indeed replaying it, wondering why his son chose āKeeraāsā investment over his own!
The main branch held thirty percent of the Horton Group shares, worth several billion! Had Jake given it all up?
Was it just for āKeeraāsā little investment?
That idiot must have been misled by this woman!
So, was this woman actually Keira?
Oliver wasnāt a fool and wouldnāt be easily misled by Keiraās diversion. He sneered. āYou are Keira Olsen, arenāt you?ā
Keira responded coolly, āIām Keera Olsen. I have a daughter named Erin, and my father is Uncle Olsen. Whatās this? Are you trying to verify my identity?ā
Oliver furrowed his brows. āThen what did you just say to Jake about old classmates?ā
āYou heard wrong.ā
āIā¦ā
Keira ignored him and walked directly into old Mrs. Hortonās room with Lewis.
As they entered, they heard a delicate, timid laugh.
A weak voice was saying, āGrandma, I come from a poor background and havenāt seen much of the world. Please donāt be mad at meā¦ā
Then Selenaās voice came through. āMom, Great-Grandma is a kind person. She wonāt be mad at you!ā
The timid voice continued, āBut didnāt Grandma just try to chase me out? Isnāt she mad at me?ā
Then Selenaās voice chimed in, āGrandma, my mother is new to the Horton family. Please donāt hold it against her. Sheās had a hard life and hasnāt seen much. Sheās just made a mistake. You wonāt be angry with her, right?ā
Old Mrs. Horton was bewildered by these words.
What a typical act!
These two had shown up at her courtyard early in the morning and insisted on chatting with her.
The mistress then lamented about how she had few pieces of jewelry and how, despite being with Oliver for years, she never received any gifts from the family, which made her feel unworthy.
Old Mrs. Horton found it amusing and retorted, āIf you want something, go ask Oliverās father! What good is crying to me?ā
With just that one sentence, the mistress was now crying and whining!
She claimed she was being looked down uponā¦
She said she came from a poor background, with Selena chiming in, making it seem like they were being mistreated.
Now, it seemed like not giving them a few pieces of jewelry was a grave mistake.
How could there be such people in the world?!
Old Mrs. Horton frowned, feeling a headache coming on with the constant whining from the mother and daughter duo, which was making her increasingly agitated.
At this moment, Keira and Lewis walked in decisively.
Seeing them, old Mrs. Hortonās eyes lit up as if she had found a savior!
