211 Mama's Girl
At that moment, Mrs. Olsen thought of many things.
il
She had always lived in Oceanion under a pseudonym and never even revealed
her identity or connections to Isla, causing Isla to take a roundabout path to
marry into a wealthy family.
Now it was Keira’s turn...
Her status was higher than Isla’s, and her situation was even more difficult.
How could the matriarch of a top-tier family like the Horton Group come from an
ordinary middle-class family?
So...
Mrs. Olsen lowered her gaze.
The matter between her and Uncle Olsen was after all
a grudge from the older generation, which was
unrelated to Keira.
Keira had the right to know who her biological father
was.

Uncle Olsen had remained unmarried for so many years; if he had a daughter, he
would surely love her twice as much. With the Clance Olsen family as her
backup, Keira would be able to set her footing in the Horton family quickly.
Mrs. Olsen's lips curved into a mocking smile.
In the end, it seemed that even top-tier families like these were still particular
about marrying equals...
Seeing her relent, Ellis raised an eyebrow at Keira. “Your mom has agreed. Shall
we set a time and place?”
But Keira looked at Mrs. Olsen and said indifferently, “Sure, my mom said yes,
but I know she didn’t really
want it.”
Mrs. Olsen was taken aback.
Keira continued. “Mom, if you won't see him, neither
do I need to.™
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Olsen gazed at Keira and saw her standing there with an
air of casual grace. She suddenly laughed.
She had been mistaken.
Isla had always been someone who chased fame and

fortune, which was why she blamed her, but Keira was
different.
From her childhood, Keira had always relied on herself;
she took to heart the words Mrs. Olsen had once taught them, never changing
over the span of more
than twenty years.
Mrs. Olsen laughed. “Then we won't meet.”
The mother and daughter shared a smile as they looked at each other; a deep
understanding lay hidden between them, not needing words to be
comprehended.
However, Ellis couldn't accept this. “Hey, you can't go back on your word like
that. Mrs. Olsen, you have no idea how difficult Keira is having it in the Horton
family right now!”
He pulled up a chair and sat beside Mrs. Olsen's bed. just got wind of something.
The illegitimate daughter from the Horton family’s first branch has made contact
with the Cobb family in Clance. If their union
succeeds, the first branch will surely dominate. By then, Lewis's position as the
family head and as CEO of Horton Group might well have to be handed over!”

Keira said with a smile, “Mom, don’t listen to his
nonsense. It's not that serious. Lewis definitely has other plans.”
The man’s strength was unfathomable; Horton Group wasn't all he had.
Ellis’s mouth twitched. “You're quite confident in him.”
“Of course, my mom likes Lewis too.”
Ellis’s eyes flickered, and he said, “What about the clinical trial spot at the Clance
Research Institute? Old Mrs. Horton's dementia is getting worse; you should be
exploring options and preparing to get a spot for the old lady to try again, right?
Let me tell you, my family has connections in that area too!”
Keira was perplexed.
She frowned slightly and looking at Ellis’s expres she finally understood why they
needed her to personally choose the trial spot in Clance.
The officials at the Clance Research Institute could withstand the temptation of
money, but not the pressure of power!
Could they resist caving in if a family like the Clance
12-114

Olsen family applied pressure?
Seeing Ellis’s confident demeanor, it was clear it was impossible.
They had thrown a hot potato at her.
Keira stroked her forehead and twitched the corner of
her mouth.
Her demeanor, however, led Ellis to misunderstand. He immediately said, “The
illegitimate daughter from the first branch of the family leveraged the Cobb family
in Clance to secure a spot. Do you really think she’s showing filial piety to old
Mrs. Horton? Just you wait. Once the medicine is used, she'll demand a king's
ransom! If Lewis doesn’t transfer five percent of the shares to her as a dowry, this
deal won't go through And with an additional five percent, the Horton family’s first
branch will hold fifty-four percent of th company shares, and they'll call a board
meeting and oust Lewis from his position!”
Ellis raised an eyebrow. “So, Keira, come with me to see my uncle. With Uncle
Olsen stepping in, everything will be fine.”
Keira tapped her chin. “Is the Clance Olsen family that

powerful?”
“Of course, we are one of the top five families!”
Ellis was extremely proud. “My uncle probably wants to take you in as his
goddaughter. With the Olsen family backing you, you'll be able to do anything in
Oceanion from now on!”
Keira laughed. “Well, thank you very much for that!”
Ellis excitedly stood up but heard Keira add another line. “But really, there's no
need; having my mom is enough for me.”
Ellis was dumbfounded.
He blinked, stunned, and then his face darkened. “Keira, don't be an ingrate! Do
you know how many people in Crera want to cozy up to my uncle? This i the first
time he’s actually going out of his way to of
a favor to someone!”
Keira said seriously, “Then you can't let him be
humiliated like that.”
Ellis was shocked.
Why were her words so infuriating?!

He was almost jumping with agitation. “How can you
be so clueless!”
Keira spread her hands. “Born this way. Can't help it.”
Ellis was dumbfounded.
He stared at Keira and then glanced at Mrs. Olsen, finally realizing something.
“All this talk about your mom. It turns out you're really a mama's girl!”
Instead of getting angry at this remark, Keira's eyes lit up. She suddenly found
the title endearingly reassuring and smiled sweetly.
Ellis was speechless. How starved of affection was she, to be content with just
her mom's love? It was just unbearable to watch!
Then he heard her voice, cold yet tinged with excitement. “Do you have any other
business? If not, please don't disturb my mom's rest. She just woke up
and she’s still weak.”
Ellis was thus chased out of the hospital room, and standing at the door, he
watched Keira. She was devoid of that prickly attitude he'd sensed at their first
