497 Chapter 496
Old Mrs. Horton's actions stunned everyone.
The next mont, Jas wanted to step in front of Keira. "Mrs. Horton, we should keep this to words. Please don't resort to violence!"
While speaking, he also made a gesture as if ready to block an attack.
If old Mrs. Horton dared to make a move, his sister definitely wouldn't fight back, so he would rush forward to block the attack for her!
Not only did Jas misunderstand old Mrs. Horton's actions, but so did everyone around them. They all looked toward old Mrs. Horton, about to comfort her, but then they saw...
Old Mrs. Horton grabbed Keira's hand earnestly. "Are you Miss Keera from the Olsen family?"
This scene left the onlookers baffled.
Jas's outstretched hand didn't know where to go!
Keira looked at old Mrs. Horton.
mories of the ti they lived together as a family flashed through her mind—the eggs old Mrs. Horton cooked for her, the gentle massages on her bruised face…
She knew old Mrs. Horton had recognized her.
After all, old Mrs. Horton had been through so much. Even now that she was ill, she imdiately understood this wasn't the ti to reveal Keira's identity, and so she asked this way…
Keira felt a sting in her eyes and nose…
Tears were welling up in her eyes, and she nodded, "Yes, Grandma, my na is Keera Olsen."
Old Mrs. Horton was taken aback. "Keera Olsen?"
"Right," Keira nodded. "Keera with two e."
Old Mrs. Horton's eyes beca redder. Nodding, she said, "What a good na. It has a nice ring to it. It's exactly the na I'm looking for in a granddaughter-in-law! Sweetheart, why haven't you co to see after getting engaged to Lewis?"
Keira imdiately answered, "I've been a bit busy lately, Grandma. I'm sorry."
"What's there to sorry about? Just co over more often in the future."
Old Mrs. Horton held Keira's hand. "Sweetheart, I liked you as soon as I saw you! Fiona, quick, bring out our family heirloom bracelet and put it on my granddaughter-in-law! Keera, co, let's sit over there. Keep company and chat with …"
Keira imdiately nodded.
She held old Mrs. Horton's arm and could feel that the old lady was still trembling.
She suddenly felt a bit guilty.
The Horton family had moved to Clance for quite so ti now, and even though she knew old Mrs. Horton's health was poor, and it made her sad, she never visited the old lady. It wasn't the nicest thing to do!
Thinking of this, Keira escorted old Mrs. Horton aside.
But Jas was puzzled. "Hold on, Mrs. Horton, you... you're very pleased with my sister?"
Old Mrs. Horton imdiately replied with a smile, "Yes, very much so! I'm super satisfied. This young lady is so beautiful. It's like she was made for my family. She has to marry Lewis!"
Jas was confused.
So was everyone around them.
Even Victoria couldn't help but interject, "But Mrs. Horton, she has a boyfriend on the side!"
As soon as this statent was made, the Olsen brothers imdiately glared at her.
What was wrong with her?
At such a ti, how could she say sothing like that?!
Upon hearing this, old Mrs. Horton thought of how her grandson was rarely ho lately, claiming to be driving his fiancée, and suddenly understood what was going on.
She realized the gigolo that her granddaughter-in-law was rumored to be keeping outside was her own grandson!
Old Mrs. Horton imdiately glared at Victoria. "So what if she has? As long as my granddaughter-in-law is willing to marry my grandson, even if she keeps ten n on the side, I won't mind!"
The crowd was dumbfounded.
Keira didn't know what to say.
Even Jas was dumbfounded. Watching the two won walk to the side, he felt this world had beco a realm of fantasy.
He couldn't resist turning to Charles. "Did our little sister feed Old Mrs. Horton so kind of bewitching potion? How could she say sothing like that?"
Charles replied, "I think old Mrs. Horton might have mistaken her for soone else."
Victoria promptly said, "Exactly, I've heard old Mrs. Horton has Alzheir's disease; she must be confused!"
Upon this revelation, the people nearby paused and then quickly realized sothing.
"So that's what it is! But at least it's dissolved the strife between the two families and broke the deadlock of today's situation!"
"Right, let's get started. But why hasn't Mr. Lewis Horton arrived yet?"
"Isn't that mysterious?"
"..."
As the crowd chatted, Victoria glared ferociously at "Keera" and Old Mrs. Horton, who were sitting on a couch in the corner.
Whatever they were discussing, old Mrs. Horton was soon wiping away tears.
Keira imdiately pulled out a handkerchief to dab her eyes, and the two looked very harmonious together!
But how could this be?! Victoria took a deep breath.
Just then, she caught sight of a figure entering through a back door nearby…
The man wore a suit and looked extrely handso and dashing. Wasn't that the gigolo driver that "Keera" kept?
Victoria sneered and promptly walked over!
"What are you doing here?!"
Victoria blocked Lewis's path, berating loudly. "Do you know this is the Horton residence? Are you here looking for Keera? Did Keera ask you to co?"
After that, soone nearby asked, "Miss Victoria, who is this person?"
"He's the gigolo that Keera is keeping on the side! I can't believe Keera actually brought him to the banquet. You better leave right now. Your presence here is a disgrace to the Hortons!"
