Uncle Olsen’s words had a stunning impact.
The shareholders immediately became restless, and they stood up one by one.
“Sir, that’s not what we meant.”
“That’s right. Even if there’s any fluctuation in the stock price, it’s not your fault. You’re the one who has led the Olsen Group to its current height. We wouldn’t dare ask you to make such a promise.”
Uncle Olsen waved his hand. “I’ve made up my mind. Someone has to take responsibility for this matter.”
After that, he scanned the crowd. “Why are you still here? Are you staying for dinner?”
“We wouldn’t dare.”
The group of shareholders stood up one after another.
Keira saw the conflicted expressions on their faces. Some were hesitant to speak, some were
panic–stricken and fearful, and some held grievances

inside that they dared not voice out loud.
After the crowd left, Keira finally looked at Uncle Olsen. “In a week, I’ll give you an explanation.”
“You don’t have to,” Uncle Olsen said. “I’ve been wanting to retire for a long time anyway. This is a perfect opportunity for Ellis to take over the Olsen Group.”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
Uncle Olsen laughed, “Don’t feel too much pressure. It’s not your fault. Besides, they are a bunch of people who are too timid to say anything.”
Keira’s mouth twitched.
Ellis also laughed. “Don’t worry. Although Uncle and I don’t know why you want to help that person, we believe that you must have your reasons for doing so! Even if it goes wrong in the end, you still have your father and uncle to back you up!”
Keira tightened her lips and then suddenly smiled.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Although the Freeman Sect members had their complaints, with the master’s affection for her, they
held back their words.

It was the same with the Olsen family.
She had implicated the Olsen family, but to think that her father and older brother would say such thing…
While she was contemplating, suddenly, a hand landed on her shoulder, and she turned her head to see Lewis.
She felt a sudden surge of emotion.
Before she knew it, she had not only gained familial affection but also friendship and love.
She lowered her eyes and said softly, “Thank you.”
However, Uncle Olsen suddenly glanced at Lewis and asked, “Aren’t you going back to check on things?” Lewis asked, “Are you getting tired of me already?”
Uncle Olsen sneered. “The Horton Group isn’t like the Olsen Group, I’ve tamed those shareholders since years ago; I can handle them alone. Keira is your fiancée, and her identity has been exposed. The Horton Group is likely to be affected as well, and you’ve only left an assistant there. I’m afraid he won’t be able to hold back your elder brother and his family, will be?”
Lewis immediately tensed his iaw
Uncle Olsen went straight to the point. “In the Olsen family, I can create a perfect environment for Keira, but what about the Horton family? When are you planning to deal with the first branch of the family?
Lewis lowered his gaze.
Uncle Olsen then chuckled. I’m not going to let my daughter get married off to help you with your mess. It’s best to deal with them before the wedding.”
Lewis nodded.
Seeing this, Keira couldn’t help but say, “Dad, the Horton family’s situation is different …”
In the Olsen family, Uncle Olsen was very close to his two brothers, and Keira’s brothers and cousins also got along harmoniously.
The bond between them couldn’t be severed.
Lewis didn’t have much affection for the Horton
family’s main branch and was estranged from his own father. However, there was still his grandmother…
Old Mrs. Horton wouldn’t live much longer, and no matter what, the members of the first branch were her
grandchildren, and old Mrs. Horton couldn’t ignore

them.
The only reason Lewis still tolerated the main house was because of his grandmother.
Thinking of old Mrs. Horton, Keira looked toward Lewis. “Shouldn’t you go back and see old Mrs. Horton?”
Lewis nodded, “Yes, I’ll go back and visit her tonight.”
“Good.”
Lewis said goodbye to Uncle Olsen and left.
Once he was gone, Uncle Olsen looked at Keira. “You haven’t married him yet, and you’re already defending him.”
“I’m already married.”
Keira said, “We’re husband and wife, legally speaking.”
Uncle Olsen didn’t know what to say.
He seemed somewhat frustrated. “I pushed him to take care of his family’s mess because I wanted you to have a comfortable life.”
Keira lowered her gaze, “When I was still an
illegitimate daughter, if I recall, you were ready to
31:39
oppose me, and he never pushed me away. So now, I
won’t abandon him either.”
Uncle Olsen was dumbfounded.
He coughed, then glanced at Ellis. With a smile lis said, “I’m going to keep Mary company. You and Uncle can have a good talk.”
After Ellis left, only Uncle Olsen and Keira remained in the living room.
Keira felt slightly uncomfortable as she rarely spent time alone with her father.
As she was thinking about what to say, Uncle Olsen broke the silence. “I heard that your grandmother dated old Mr. Martin just to have his child, which is your mother?”
Keira was stunned. “Yes.”
Uncle Olsen then turned his head, looking out the window. “Then tell me, did your mother go out with
me for the same reason?”
Keira suddenly hesitated; for the first time, she saw a look of uncertainty and doubt on Uncle Olsen’s face.
She pursed her lips.
Uncle Olsen continued to gaze out the window, “Your mother lived a carefree life, leaving with no hesitation and not looking back; did she… ever love me?”
