679 Chapter 678

Just as Keira was preparing to take action, a sudden stir erupted in the crowd.

She paused, turning to see Lewis and Uncle Olsen’s car parked at the curb. The two men then strode over, accompanied by several bodyguards.

The bodyguards quickly dispersed the surrounding crowd, creating a clear path for them to reach Keira.

Keira raised an eyebrow.

Uncle Olsen immediately addressed Lewis, saying, “How have you been taking care of her?”

Keira was about to say she didn’t need any help when Lewis frowned and said, “Sorry, I should have mentioned this earlier. The situation has been tense recently. Don’t go out alone.”

He then took Keira’s hand and said, “Let’s go home.”

Uncle Olsen snorted and added, “If you can’t take care of her, send her back to the Olsen family. Don’t let the Hortons mistreat her.”

Lewis immediately assured him, “Sir, it won’t happen again.”

“Humph.”

Uncle Olsen turned and was about to get into the car when a reporter pushed a microphone into his face, demanding, “Mr. Olsen, as the head of the Olsen Group, what do you have to say about your daughter’s public involvement with spies?”

Uncle Olsen ignored the reporter and continued walking forward.

But the reporter persisted, “I’m sure you must be very troubled by this. Is it true that this daughter is your illegitimate child? Are you not particularly fond of her? Will the Olsen family sever ties with her for the sake of reputation and stock value recovery?”

Uncle Olsen stopped in his tracks.

Keira felt something was amiss and was about to speak, but Uncle Olsen had already taken the reporter’s microphone and declared, “My daughter isn’t an illegitimate child. She is my legitimate and only daughter, and the blood relationship between us can never be severed or denied!”

The reporter was excited and asked, “So, does this mean the Olsen Group will support all her decisions?”

“That’s right,” Uncle Olsen said firmly, looking at the reporter. “The Olsen Group will back her in everything she does!”

Keira was stunned.

The online backlash against her was intense, and the Olsen Group’s stock had dropped by ten percent recently. Their best move would have been to stay out of it.

In a few days, when Professor Brandt and all the students returned to the country, it would be the moment when old Mr. Sim’s name was cleared and her innocence proven!

But with Uncle Olsen’s statement, it was certain the Olsen Group’s stock would fall even more tomorrow.

Keira sighed inwardly. She wasn’t particularly concerned about public opinion, but she wished her father wouldn’t protect her so much.

As she was thinking, a reporter approached Lewis and asked, “Mr. Horton, what about you? Will the Horton Group, like the Olsen Group, cover the mistakes of Miss Olsen? Even if it means a drop in Horton Group’s stock?”

As she was thinking, a reporter approached Lewis and asked, “Mr. Horton, what about you? Will the Horton Group, like the Olsen Group, cover the mistakes of Miss Olsen? Even if it means a drop in Horton Group’s stock?”

Keira didn’t know what to say.

She looked at Lewis, ready to speak, but he answered directly, “Yes.”

His response almost made Keira roll her eyes.

Seriously, could they be any more conspicuous?

She sighed quietly, forcing a smile.

Turning to Uncle Olsen, she said, “Dad.”

Uncle Olsen looked shocked.

After their reunion, Keira seldom called him “Dad.”

His smile broadened, and he waved at her. Keira said, “See you tomorrow.”

“See you. Come home for dinner when you have time.”

Uncle Olsen got into the car.

Keira thought she might be imagining it, but it seemed Uncle Olsen’s eyes were red before he got into the car, and he even dabbed at his eyes with a tissue after getting in.

Such a decisive person like Uncle Olsen wouldn’t be sentimental, so she must have seen it wrong!

Keira smiled softly, turned slowly, and saw Lewis. Together, they got into the car.

…

Inside Lewis Horton’s SUV, the atmosphere suddenly dropped to an icy chill.

Keira glanced at Lewis, then at Jake, and cleared her throat.

Lewis asked, “Are you really sure about him?”

Jake immediately straightened up.

Keira nodded. “Yes, and about that…”

She wanted to explain a bit more, especially since her previous relationship with Jake had been ambiguous, and it seemed he had abandoned her for Isla.

But before she could start, Lewis interrupted, “How much did you invest? I’ll add the same amount. If you believe in the project, it must be good.”

Keira was taken aback.

Even Jake was stunned.

He had thought Lewis, being a bit stingy, would be angry, especially since he had always been quite possessive. But Lewis’s attitude toward Keira was surprisingly supportive.

Jake looked at Keira, then at Lewis, and finally at his own hands.

He felt out of place and like an intruder in the car.

The bond and trust between Lewis and Keira were something he had never experienced with her.

While he was lost in thought, Lewis suddenly asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Jake snapped back to reality.

He had always been intimidated by Lewis, so he was about to confess he was thinking about his and Keira’s past.

But he realized that wouldn’t be right, so he quickly found another reason, but Lewis changed the topic. “You’re really going to cut ties with your father?”

Jake’s attention was diverted, and he lowered his head, forcing a bitter smile. “Yes.”

“Today, Selena Horton and her mother moved into the Horton residence.”

Jake’s head shot up in disbelief. “What?”

He was furious. “He hasn’t even divorced my mother yet!”

Lewis remained silent.

Jake clenched his fists, his eyes reddening. “This is outrageous! He doesn’t realize that the mistress and Selena only care about his money! Only my mother truly loves him!”

Jake’s voice choked with emotion. “I feel so sorry for my mother! I wish my father could see who really loves him!”

Lewis said calmly, “Time will reveal the truth.”

Jake sighed. “It’s useless. The mistress and Selena are playing their parts perfectly. They’ve deceived my father his entire life! How could he ever see their true colors?”

He lowered his head, burying his face in his hands, and tears streamed down. “It’s not about me. I just feel sorry for my mother… Maybe only when he’s fallen from grace and lost all his money will he see the true nature of the mistress and her daughter. But with the Horton Group thriving and you in charge, Uncle Lewis, the group will probably never face bankruptcy… He’ll live off his wealth forever.”

Jake wiped his tears and looked up.

Then he heard Lewis say, “The Horton Group won’t go bankrupt, but your father might not be so lucky.”
