My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire! - Chapter 412
Chapter 411
Joseph’s daughter whipped around sharply, only to see James standing menacingly behind her.
….
As this voice rang out, everyone else quickly turned their attention toward that direction.
Joseph’s daughter swallowed hard. “I, I’m leaving…”
When James heard this, he began to laugh.
His laugh was exactly like his older brother’s, with a bit of maliciousness and roguishness that made onlookers feel unnerved and uneasy.
Joseph’s daughter couldn’t help but shiver. “What, what are you going to do?”
James suddenly pointed at Howard and his mother and asked, “They were summoned here by you, weren’t they? If you’re leaving, why not take them with you?”
Upon hearing this, Joseph immediately glared at his daughter.
His daughter quickly waved her hands. “It wasn’t me, it wasn’t …”
“Still trying to deny it?”
James sneered, and with a wave of his hand, a hotel staff member approached, holding a camera that showed a video.
In the video, Joseph’s daughter handed a sum of money to a staff member.
Then, the staff member snuck Howard and his mother, who didn’t have an invitation, into the venue through the service entrance …
After seeing the video, Joseph’s daughter was stunned, “I…”
She swiftly turned her head, looking at Victoria. “It was you! It was you who told me to do that! I was just helping you!”
Victoria hadn’t expected James to have a recording, and upon hearing this, she immediately waved her hands. “What are you talking about? When did I ever ask you to do such things?”
Joseph’s daughter was baffled.
Victoria then said, “You didn’t like Keera. What does that have to do with me? Besides, this is the Olsen family’s banquet. How could I possibly let you bring people in and disgrace our family?”
Joseph’s daughter was bewildered.
She stared at Victoria in disbelief. “You, you …”
Victoria then looked to James and Uncle Olsen. “Uncle, it really wasn’t me! She’s slandering me! There might have been some friction between Keera and me, but I knew Keera was your daughter long ago, so how could I do such a thing? The Olsen family raised me. How could I be so ungrateful and treacherous?!”
Uncle Olsen chuckled coldly.
Victoria was indeed cautious in her actions and had left no trace behind.
Therefore, they only had evidence of Joseph’s daughter committing the misdeed, but none of Victoria’s …
Without evidence, punishing Victoria in front of everyone would make Keira the center of gossip.
It would look as if the Olsen family’s daughter couldn’t tolerate an adopted daughter and wanted to chase the latter away.
Uncle Olsen then cast his eyes downward, remaining silent.
“If you commit enough misdeeds, you’ll eventually show your true colors,” he thought.
James also frowned and said, “Victoria, you don’t need to explain. I believe you! But this woman has plotted against the Olsen family in such a manner. What exactly does she take the Olsen family for? Joseph, is my uncle no longer able to wield a knife? Or can’t the seven of us take any action?”
At this moment, Joseph’s face was pale with fright. He wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, realizing he’d been massively let down by his daughter this time!!
Just as Joseph’s daughter was about to speak, Joseph rushed over and slapped her face hard. “Shut your mouth!!”
He used even more force than before.
With the slap, blood oozed from the girl’s mouth, and she spat out two front teeth.
Joseph immediately looked at Uncle Olsen with his head bowed respectfully. “Mr. Olsen, my daughter has been spoiled, and I don’t think she’s suitable for staying in the country anymore. I’ll arrange for her to go abroad immediately so she can gain some experience and learn how treacherous the world can be!”
Uncle Olsen merely touched the ring on his finger, his voice calm. “Her mistake is just an unintentional slip, nothing but a bit of squabbling really, but you’re right. After all, she has lived too comfortably since childhood. It’s time for her to go abroad and endure some hardship.”
The conversation had reached this point when Uncle Olsen suddenly said, “I think GMR is a good choice, and they have good customs there. Let her go there to study, and maybe that will change her arrogant character. What do you think?”
Joseph’s pupils shrank.
There was civil unrest in GMR at the moment, with news of shootings happening every day. The people of that country were desperately trying to flee, so why would anyone send their child there?
But he understood; this was Uncle Olsen’s punishment for his daughter!
Swallowing hard, Joseph turned to glance at his daughter before setting his heart and saying firmly, “You’re right. I’ll arrange it immediately.”
Uncle Olsen smiled. “There might be some difficulties with the visa, but don’t worry, I’ll have someone take care of it for you.”
There was no turning back now.
Joseph suddenly felt that his decisive action had been the right choice. If he had dared speak a word on behalf of his daughter, Uncle Olsen might have sent their entire family over!
He nodded immediately. “That would be great, thank you very much.”
“There’s no trouble at all. You’ve been my subordinate for a long time, and I ought to help you out with this,” Uncle Olsen said, still smiling.
Continuing to smile, Uncle Olsen added, “Then you should take your daughter home to pack her bags.”
Joseph nodded and quickly left with his daughter in tow.
Only then did Uncle Olsen casually turn his gaze to Howard and his mother. He sighed deeply and said in a low voice, “The two of you… Since you are Amy’s father and grandmother, and I’m her grandfather on the mother’s side, we’re all one family. Someone will take you away and make sure you’re well looked after by the Olsen family!”
The last few words were spoken very slowly and carried a deadly seriousness.
Howard felt it and suddenly felt warmth in his pants; he had been scared to the point of wetting himself.
His mother was foolish and still didn’t understand the situation, so she smiled. “Hey, that’s great! It’s like what I was saying. We have a child between us, so we’re definitely a family…”
Howard’s legs went weak, and he was dragged away while his mother trotted off happily toward what she thought would be a “wonderful life.”
Uncle Olsen then waved his hand again. “Alright, no more spectacles for everyone to laugh at. Let’s continue! Come, let’s raise a glass for my daughter’s return!”
After that, no one in the room dared to speak ill of “Keera.”
Keira looked around at everyone, then couldn’t help but glance sideways at Uncle Olsen.
No wonder Lewis respected him so much; this man controlled the fates of several people with just a few words.
The rest of the evening went smoothly, with everyone treating Keira with utmost respect until the guests had all left one by one after the banquet ended.
It was only then that James approached Keira. “Sister, will you take my car home?”
Keira coughed lightly. “I’m not staying at the Olsen house. I’m going back to the South residence.”
James was startled. “Why? Are you still mad at me? Isn’t it enough that I’ve admitted my fault? Maybe I should let you hit me? I won’t hit back!”
Keira couldn’t help but laugh. “No, it’s just that Amy gets anxious around strangers. I’m afraid it wouldn’t be good for her if we change environments. Besides…”
She lowered her eyes. “I still have things to do.”
“Is it about the Freeman Sect? I’ll take you to see the Sect Leader tomorrow, then!”
“Sure.”
Meanwhile, Ellis turned to Mary, speaking softly, “Aren’t you going home tonight?”
With her head bowed, Mary replied quietly, “Let’s wait until we reach three months, then we’ll decide.”
Ellis was silent for a while before asking, “How much longer?”
“About three or four days.”
Mary slowly looked up at him. “Ellis, let’s meet at the hospital in four days.”
