My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

119 Husband and Wife

Keira only knew that Mrs. Olsen’s family was from Clance, but throughout all these years in Oceanion, she had never made contact with them.

Moreover, no one from her maternal family in Clance

had ever visited her.

Yet the last time Mrs. Olsen appeared, she had been treated with such courtesy by the Allen family…

This time she didn’t know what Mrs. Olsen had said to

Melissa to make the latter change her attitude so drastically. Keira really wanted to know what kind of family could raise someone like Mrs. Olsen.

Old Mrs. Horton shook her head. “I have no idea.

What’s our in-law’s background?”

Melissa laughed. “She didn’t specify her background. However, she mentioned that she was acquainted with several prestigious families in Clance and that she could introduce some connections for Jake, which could be beneficial since the Horton family, because of Lewis’s circumstances, doesn’t have many contacts there. If Jake could penetrate the market in Clance, he

would definitely lead the Horton family to even greater heights in the future. Isn’t that right, Grandma?”

Only then did Keira understand why Melissa wanted Isla to marry into the family, even if it meant not getting any shares.

Most families in Clance were powerful and influential.

Originally, the Horton family had sought an alliance with them, which led to the arranged marriage of Lewis’s parents. Unfortunately, not only did this marriage fail to open up the market, but it also turned the Horton family into a thorn in the side for those in

Clance.

If Jake could forge this path, his position within the Horton Group would undoubtedly rise with the tide!

If he could bring sufficient benefits to the Horton family, even if he was at a disadvantage in terms of shares, he could still replace Lewis as the next CEO!

After all, Melissa’s acceptance of Isla was all because of

her interests.

And the exchange that just took place between Melissa and old Mrs. Horton was a trade.

Old Mrs. Horton wouldn’t stop Isla from joining the family, and Melissa would no longer insist on the five percent of shares.

Seeing that she wanted to leave, old Mrs. Horton still couldn’t help but speak up persuasively, “Having interests tied together is ultimately unreliable. You still need to ask Jake about this marriage arrangement.”

Melissa thought old Mrs. Horton was trying to prevent the rise of the first branch of the family and narrowed her eyes, “Grandma, Lewis did find someone sincere, but how did that turn out? Aren’t the couple living apart, and now they don’t even have a child? If you have free time, you should pay more attention to his personal issues, especially since you’re keeping such a woman in the house as a mistress… Let’s not have any more scandals.”

After a glance at Keira, she sneered and left.

Old Mrs. Horton didn’t understand the implication. “How are they living apart? My granddaughter-in-law, aren’t you and the brat living at home? How strange people speak!”

Keira soothed her, “Grandma, she’s talking nonsense.
