My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！ - Chapter 494
Chapter 493
James turned around furiously, grabbed the person beside him, and was ready to leave.
….
Charles’s face was also filled with anger.
The rest of the Olsen family furrowed their brows and stood in front of Keira. Then, they said to her, “Keera, don’t worry. If the Horton family is treating us like this, it seems they no longer want to continue with this marriage! The Olsen ladies aren’t that desperate to get married! Let’s go! We’re leaving now!”
Uncle Olsen’s eldest brother and sister-in-law also said, “That’s right, the Olsen family isn’t that desperate to marry off our girls! Keera, let’s leave!”
Charles nodded, too. “Sis, don’t be afraid. Without Lewis, I will find you someone even better!”
The rest of them nodded as well.
Even Peter said, “Exactly. If they aren’t satisfied with our younger sister, they should just say so. There’s no need to insult us in this manner!”
“I can’t swallow this insult! Let’s go. The Horton family dares to treat the Olsen family like this, and it’s just too much!”
As the Olsens were filled with anger, the butler said with a smile, “I’m terribly sorry. Our family really has some pressing matters, and many guests have already arrived. We are in the middle of speaking with them; we can’t just leave them to greet you, right? After all, we’re all family here; there’s no need to be so particular.”
After saying this, he even looked at the only girl in the crowd. “This must be Miss Olsen, right? Our hostess has said that once Miss Olsen is married into the Horton family, she will become the head hostess. Like at today’s event, she would also need to help in receiving guests. If you can, why not help us by greeting some female guests at the entrance?”
His words became more and more outrageous!
The faces of the Olsen family members turned livid.
Uncle Olsen’s second brother burst out angrily. “Does Keera have to endure such humiliation even before she’s married? Will she be treated even worse once she’s part of the Horton family and used like a servant? Let me tell you. The Olsens treat our daughters like princesses, and they’re cherished like treasures! They’re not someone the Horton family can casually mistreat!”
After saying this, he looked at Uncle Olsen. “Sam, it’s your call. Just say the word, and the Olsen family will go all out; we cannot tolerate this!”
Keira had been silent, observing her brothers’ reactions.
All five of her older brothers had faces filled with righteous indignation, seeming to be sharing the same emotions. It didn’t look like the person who had been causing trouble behind the scenes was among them.
As for her only younger brother, Charles… He was the angriest of them all!
It was even less likely that he was the one who leaked Ellis’s information to Austin…
While Keira was thinking, Uncle Olsen looked at her. “Keera, what do you think?”
In front of the others, Uncle Olsen still called her Keera to keep the truth hidden.
Keira touched her chin, looked at the butler, and let out a laugh. “It seems this new watchdog of the Horton family doesn’t recognize its masters. It’s not worth our time to stoop to his level.”
At these words, Uncle Olsen immediately chuckled.
The middle-aged man laughed in such a manner, exuding a unique charm.
Uncle Olsen and Keira both knew that the first branch of the Horton family hadn’t given up on taking over the reins of the family. Lewis was probably busy; this was just the first branch causing mischief in his absence.
If the Olsen family really just left like this and called off the engagement with Lewis, they would fall right into the first branch’s trap.
Uncle Olsen certainly wasn’t going to fuss over these things.
It was Lewis he was interested in, not these irrelevant, disorderly people of the Horton family.
Upon Keira’s response, the new butler was slightly taken aback and then became irritated. “Miss Olsen, how can you insult people like that? Is this the quality of the Olsen family?”
Keira replied indifferently, “My standards are only for people, not for dogs.”
“You…!”
“Alright, let’s go in; don’t stay outside.”
Keira took the lead, stepping into the lobby.
The rest of the Olsen family members looked at each other and hurriedly followed her.
Although they didn’t understand why their young sister would let things slide, they couldn’t possibly allow her to enter the Horton family alone, as it would be too embarrassing!
James took quick steps to get to the front.
Charles hastily stayed by Keira’s side.
Uncle Olsen’s brothers and their wives looked at him. Seeing that their younger brother’s expression was, as usual, showing no signs of anger, they couldn’t help but ask, “Sam, are you just going to swallow this insult?”
Uncle Olsen smiled, “Once you’re inside, you’ll understand.”
Not knowing what he meant, they still followed Uncle Olsen into the house.
The onlookers around them looked at each other and then chuckled.
“I had thought the Olsen family would leave, but who would’ve thought, even after the Hortons snubbed them, they still went in. They must be terrified of not being able to marry her off!”
“Exactly, with a catch like Mr. Horton, the Olsen’s daughter who has been married off before would definitely not let go…”
“If they don’t let go, they should at least take care of the gigolo… To keep a gigolo on the side and still have the nerve to come to the Horton house so brazenly… It really makes you wonder how thick-skinned the Olsens can be…”
“Exactly, the Hortons have already expressed their displeasure; they were just giving her a way out. If I were Uncle Olsen, I would’ve called off the engagement right away. It would be the respectful thing to do for both families.”
…
Amidst the whispering crowd, Keira walked into Horton’s grand lobby, surrounded by her family members.
The Hortons weren’t busy at all; instead, they were sitting on the sofa leisurely chatting. They obviously weren’t busy, so the butler’s earlier statement was clearly a lie!
They couldn’t even be bothered to keep up appearances!
Angered once more, James said, “Keera, I’m going to confront them about this!”
“Don’t bother.”
Keira’s gaze dropped lightly. “It’s not necessary.”
Today was Lewis’s birthday banquet, and there was no need to make a scene here. Once Lewis made his appearance… everything would become apparent.
Being pointed at and whispered about meant nothing to her at the moment.
Just then, a stir went through the crowd as an old person supported by others slowly descended the stairs.
“Who is that?” James asked.
Someone standing nearby immediately said, “Isn’t that old Mrs. Horton? It’s said that Mr. Lewis Horton has great respect for his grandmother. Did she come down, especially because she heard the Olsens had arrived?”
“I told you the Hortons couldn’t be this rude. After all, the Olsens are the head of the five major families, and since the Hortons have just arrived in Clance, they wouldn’t dare to provoke the Olsens.”
As everyone spoke, Old Mrs. Horton had already reached the bottom of the stairs, and then the butler said, “Ma’am, the Olsens are here. Over there…”
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Horton thought of Lewis’s fiancée and instinctively turned toward where the Olsen family stood…
