Chapter 242: Chapter 242 Chapter 242: Chapter 242 The driver of the Horton family’s old mansion had been waiting here until the flowers had withered.
He originally intended to deliver the express package to Fiona and leave, but Mr. Horton insisted that he hand it over to Lewis Horton personally!
So, he ended up waiting here all day long.
Fiona said that Mr. Horton usually ca back by noon, but just today he hadn’t returned. He had driven back late last night, utterly exhausted.
They all sat outside, dozing off in the sunlight!
The driver rubbed his eyes, handed the express package to Lewis Horton, and imdiately went to sleep in the room Fiona had arranged for him!
Lewis Horton was slightly startled.
He looked down at the express package in his hands but felt nothing.
The express delivery was made directly, so there were no nas written on it.
Lewis Horton just wondered briefly what had been sent to the old ho…
He carried the package not into the bedroom but into the study and sent a ssage to Tom Davis: [In a eting.]
He was busy with international matters in the afternoon.
He was preparing to work overti this evening, keeping himself busy.
He didn’t want to leave himself any idle ti to indulge in ssy thoughts. It was only by being busy that he could feel sowhat better.
It seed he could escape those vexing issues…
Lewis Horton despised this side of himself.
But yet, he couldn’t help acting this way.
Tom Davis had summoned people for an international eting, and five hours later, everyone was stunned.
It was two in the morning, wasn’t it?
Normally, the boss was very health-conscious, stopping work reports after midnight. He had to get up at a fixed ti every morning to run and exercise!
But today… what was happening?
Only when the sky began to lighten in the morning did Lewis Horton finally stop working. But he didn’t go to sleep; instead, he glanced at the express package in front of him, changed clothes, and went out for a run.
He hadn’t slept all night… to be precise, he hadn’t closed his eyes for two nights.
Lewis Horton seed a bit weary, and his running didn’t feel as exhilarating as usual.
The frustration in his heart made him suddenly accelerate his pace, quickly running five kiloters!
When he returned to his bedroom, drenched in sweat, he then entered the bathroom. The mont the cold water turned on, his entire body shuddered, unleashing the pain suppressed deep inside, as if soone had opened a valve, gushing violently out.
Suddenly, Lewis Horton raised his head, the shower water pouring over his face, and he clenched his fists tightly.
…
After showering, Lewis Horton looked at the sky outside.
It was already seven o’clock, broad daylight.
He and Keira Olsen had agreed to pick up their divorce certificate today.
Thinking of this, his just slightly soothed mood beca heavy again…
…
Keira Olsen didn’t sleep well this night either.
The text ssage she received yesterday made her feel that the situation had suddenly beco unpredictable.
Who was this stranger?
Why were they telling her not to get a divorce?
As she pondered these questions, she hardly noticed her lancholic mood fading away, finding herself consud by intense thoughts.
Unconsciously, she dressed and went downstairs.
Just after breakfast, the housekeeper ca in: “Miss, there’s soone outside looking for you.”
Keira Olsen was startled.
Who would be looking for her?
Could it be the person who sent the text? They ntioned they would co to see her today…
But she clearly had arranged to et the other party at eleven in the morning, so had they co looking for her this soon?
Thinking this, she walked outside.
When she opened the door and saw the woman in front of her, she was slightly startled.
Standing there was a thin woman, about fifty years old, dressed plainly — she must have co from the countryside, standing there timidly, looking uneasy.
Was it this person who had sent her the text ssage?
No…
Keira suddenly realized that the person who texted her last night had said their child had just fallen asleep and not to call, so that woman’s child was still young!
The fifty-year-old in front of her was not her!
Just as she realized this, the woman had already rushed over and grabbed her arm, “Mrs. Horton, you are Mrs. Horton, right?”
Keira frowned, “Who are you?”
“I’m Madeleine Davis’s mother!”
After the middle-aged woman said this, Keira imdiately realized the trouble!
Blaming herself for not sleeping well for two days straight, causing her mind to react slowly, she had been taken advantage of.
She wanted to step back and close the door, but the woman had already tightly grabbed her clothes, “Mrs. Horton, let’s talk…”
Keira responded indifferently, “I have nothing to discuss with you…”
As soon as these words fell, three or four reporters suddenly appeared around the corner, all aiming their caras at her.
Then one of them spoke up, “Mrs. Horton, I’m live streaming, the whole network is following your and Mr. Horton’s situation, we want to know what exactly is going on?”
“Mrs. Horton, did you know Mr. Horton had a girlfriend when you were with him? Were you the other woman who interfered?”
“Mrs. Horton, is Mr. Horton now ignoring Ms. Madeleine Davis’s life and death? How do you plan to face the reporters and the public? Don’t you feel guilty?”
“Mrs. Horton, what is your take on this matter?”
Keira furrowed her brow, looking coldly at the group in front of her.
She had never cared about opinions, but these people had found her ho, which could cause trouble for her mother and father!
She spoke outright, “I’m sorry, this is a private matter, and I’m not at liberty to disclose any information.”
Almost imdiately as she finished speaking, Madeleine Davis’s mother suddenly dropped to her knees in front of Keira!
She bowing her head repeatedly, smashing it against the ground until her forehead cracked and began to bleed, finally stopping.
The reporters imdiately aid their caras at her face, making the wound clearly visible.
Madeleine Davis’s mother then cried out, “Mrs. Horton, you are a good person, born of a good family, rich in heritage, but Madeleine has nothing. She doesn’t want money, nor any other benefits, she just wants to be with Mr. Horton… please, let her have him!”
After saying this, Madeleine Davis’s mother bowed deeply again, “Without Mr. Horton she will die, I don’t care if you are the other woman, what exactly is going on between you and Mr. Horton, I don’t care who Mr. Horton truly loves, I just want you to know, Madeleine saved Mr. Horton’s life when she was a child, he promised to marry her, it’s all because of Mr. Horton she ended up this way, Mr. Horton must take full responsibility!”
Keira observed the people in front of her and then looked at the reporters who were already showing sympathy, and sneered.
Madeleine Davis had been abused by her parents since her childhood, which caused her psychological problems.
Her mother is far from being such a compassionate mother.
This must be the doing of the first branch of the Horton family.
Selena Horton really was relentless!
anwhile.
At the Horton Family estate.
After the chauffeur of the Horton estate woke up, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten sothing very important.
That was the ssage Mr. Horton Sr. had told him to pass on to Mr. Horton, that the package was ant for Stubborn Fifth!
It was the one he had been waiting on for many years…
Thinking of this, the chauffeur slapped his head, stood up, and headed out to find Lewis Horton to give him the news!
Just as he stepped out, he saw Lewis Horton striding towards the parking area.
The estate chauffeur imdiately quickened his pace and caught up while calling out:
“Mr. Horton! Mr. Horton! Mr. Horton Sr. asked to tell you, that package was the one you’ve been waiting for many years…”
