My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！ - Chapter 454
Chapter 453
….
Lady Gill stared at Nara’s face, and for some reason, she felt a sense of affection.
Just as she was about to say something, Austin sneered. “How could she possibly get into the Nora Research Institute? Even if her hand weren’t crippled, with her education and experience, she wouldn’t be able to get in anyway!”
Everyone knew that the Nora Research Institute in Clance was currently the best institution.
Nara just glared at Austin.
Keira then said, “How could it be impossible for her to get in?”
“A person who has been dismissed by our hospital, how could the Nora Research Institute possibly want her? What kind of joke are you making? Oh, Miss Olsen probably doesn’t understand what kind of existence the Nora Research Institute is!” Jackson rambled on. “The Nora Research Institute is the dream of all the doctors who are into scientific research!”
Keira looked at him as if he were a joke.
Although Keira had “died,” the existence of the Nora Research Institute was extraordinary, so after she arrived in Clance, she had secretly sent emails, letting the staff of the Nora Research Institute know that she was not dead.
Therefore, the Nora Research Institute in Clance and abroad were both conducting research as usual.
But she didn’t owe these people an explanation.
Just as she was about to leave, gripping Nara’s hand, Austin blocked her way again. “Who told you you can leave?”
Keira looked up with a cold gaze. “What, you want to fight again?”
Austin scoffed. “As a student, Nara frightened the guests in the VIP ward, doesn’t she need to apologize?”
Keira took a deep breath, feeling the urge in her chest. If this were not Clance, she would have punched him right away! It was absolutely suffocating!
Keira said, “What exactly do you want to do?”
“Very simple,” Austin smiled. “Just let Nara kowtow to Jackson, admit her mistakes, and that will be the end of it. Otherwise, I will definitely have her expelled from school!”
After saying this, he turned to Jackson. “Moreover, Jackson turned into what he is now because of her! Letting her apologize to Jackson isn’t too much, is it?”
Nara bit her lip hard. Her eyes were swelling from crying. She stared fiercely at Austin, feeling a surge of powerlessness. Why? Just because they had power and influence, they could do whatever they want? But what had she and her brother done wrong? It was Jackson who went to her house to beat her brother and tried to assault her, and it was Miss Olsen who fought back against Jackson… Why had it all become her fault now? She cried uncontrollably, her whole body trembling. Her hand was shaking, feeling as if the blood in her body was gradually turning cold. The person in front of her seemed like a devil. She sobbed.
Keira simply said, “That’s impossible!”
Austin looked at her. “Miss Olsen, don’t think too highly of yourself. I’m being considerate by letting her apologize. Otherwise, for someone as lowly as her, making her disappear from Clance without anyone noticing is just a matter of lifting a finger for me!”
Then he turned to Nara. “Don’t be ungrateful! If you don’t kneel, I can have your brother dead by tomorrow!”
Such words could be said so blatantly… Keira was utterly astonished. Nara’s eyes reddened even more.
Keira furrowed her brows. “Austin, have you no regard for the law?”
Austin laughed. “What silly thing are you talking about? I am a law-abiding good citizen, but it always just so happens that some people hold a grudge against Nara’s brother! And if by chance he accidentally fell down the stairs or off a rooftop, what does it have to do with me?”
Keira was left speechless by him. The meaning was crystal clear. He would hire a thug to kill someone, then push all the blame onto the thug!
Nara immediately waved her hand!
Her brother and she depended on each other, and they were very close. How could her brother pay for her mistake?
Austin continued, “Nara, Keira is from the Olsen family, and I cannot touch her, but if I touch you, do you think the Olsens would fight to the death with our family for the likes of you and your brother, such lowly people? Oh, right, speaking of which, you two are actually distant relatives of my family! Hahaha, so this is an internal matter for the Gill family, even less something the Olsens can interfere in! Neither emotionally nor logically can they do anything… so, will you kneel or not?”
“She won’t kneel!” Keira flatly refused, then held Nara’s arm. “Let’s go. Don’t worry, I will protect you and your brother!”
Just as she was about to lead Nara away, Nara suddenly broke free from her grasp.
Keira was taken aback. Nara gestured to her, her eyes filled with determination, anger, and stubbornness.
Although she couldn’t speak, Keira still understood her intention… She didn’t want to implicate Keira anymore, nor did she want her brother to come to harm because of her; otherwise, she would feel guilty…
So… she slowly turned her head toward Jackson and knelt without hesitation!
Keira’s eyes widened in shock. “Nara!”
She wanted to say that one must not lack spine, intending to tell Nara to get up. But she suddenly realized, this was Nara’s life, not hers. She didn’t have the strength to protect Nara and her brother all the time… unless she kept them under her wings, but was that really what they wanted?
For a moment, Keira’s feelings were exceedingly complicated as she stood there stunned.
After Nara knelt down, she looked toward Jackson. Jackson felt an inexplicable rush of satisfaction. This was the lost daughter of the first branch of the family… The first branch had always been high and mighty, but now their daughter was kneeling before him…
Jackson sneered. “Kowtow!”
Austin echoed from the side. “Yes, kowtow…”
Nara shut her eyes tightly and her head struck the ground hard. The sound made Keira’s heart tremble.
Unable to restrain herself, she cried out again. “That’s enough!” She stepped forward, lifting Nara up from the ground. But before Nara could rise, Jackson shouted furiously, “Not enough, I want her to kowtow ten times to me! Ten times!”
Austin immediately stepped forward, blocking Keira. “Then that’s nine more to go. After you’re done, we’ll spare you and your brother, how about that?”
A flicker of despair passed through Nara’s eyes. She was in extreme agony. But thinking about her brother at home, her own future, and the power of the Gill family… She didn’t rise but knocked her forehead heavily against the floor again.
“Nara!”
Keira’s eyes were red with emotion. Jackson felt secretly thrilled inside. Austin wore an expression of disdain. Lady Gill, however, frowned, her thoughts occupied with finding her daughter.
