How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire

Chapter 43: Chapter 43

Everyone was stunned.

At gatherings like this, Samuel Morgan was always reserved. When had anyone seen him so enthusiastic?

And… “you”?

What was the deal with this girl in her twenties?

Isla Olsen clenched her fingers tightly, feeling a burning sensation on her face…

Jake Horton furrowed his brows, his gaze shifting back and forth between Samuel Morgan and Kiera Olsen: “Do you know each other?”

Samuel Morgan looked at Kiera Olsen and hesitated to speak for a moment.

Who knew if the boss wanted her identity exposed?

Sure enough, the next second, Kiera Olsen lifted her champagne glass towards Samuel Morgan, a warning flickering in her amorous eyes: “Mr. Morgan, hello. I’m too young to be addressed so formally.”

Samuel Morgan got the message from the boss and coughed before saying, “Miss Olsen, I didn’t expect to encounter you here, so I got a little too excited.”

The way he said it… everyone glanced at Kiera Olsen’s stunning face and seemed to understand something, chuckling amongst themselves.

Mr. King approached, teasing, “Mr. Morgan, you really have high standards! She truly is an exceptionally beautiful woman!”

Samuel Morgan immediately replied, “Not only is Miss Olsen beautiful, but her capabilities are also impressive.”

Mr. King was taken aback.

Jalen Riley had also praised Kiera Olsen just now…

Only then did he take her seriously: “Miss Olsen, this is my business card. I hope we can collaborate in the future.”

With Mr. King taking the initiative, others quickly gathered around:

“If Miss Olsen is praised by Mr. Morgan, she definitely has something extraordinary.”

“Such achievements at a young age…”

Kiera Olsen didn’t like such occasions and just offered a faint smile in response.

Jalen Riley stepped forward, smiling and exchanging pleasantries with them.

Jake Horton stood in the crowd, watching Kiera Olsen shine like a rising star, feeling uneasy. He scoffed coldly: “No matter how skilled, can she be better than Dr. South?”

As soon as he said it, everyone fell silent.

Samuel Morgan raised his eyebrows, revealing a significant smile, but said nothing.

Kiera Olsen calmly held her champagne glass, also not bothering to speak.

In the end, it was Mr. King who broke the awkward silence, “In terms of the highest level in the industry, we must look to Dr. South! But Miss Olsen is so young, her future is boundless! I just heard General Sims say she also holds a position at Horton Group? Young Mr. Horton, only your company could secure such talent!”

Kiera Olsen couldn’t help but internally praise him for the comment, as it offended no one, elevated Jake Horton, and he indeed said no more.

The lively atmosphere returned, and everyone resumed their jovial conversations.

Samuel Morgan didn’t dare to steer the topic back to Kiera Olsen, and the crowd’s attention quickly returned to him, following up with him about Dr. South’s whereabouts.

Kiera Olsen took the opportunity to slip away from the crowd.

The lobby was brightly lit, everyone in suits and dresses, toasting and mingling.

Surrounded by people, Kiera Olsen couldn’t feel the buzz.

Instead, she found more comfort in the hospital, quietly going about her work in a room with the old lady and Lewis Horton.

She walked to the balcony, picked up her phone, and saw a message from Lewis Horton: “I happen to be at Royal Hotel discussing business too, we can head back together when it’s over.”

Kiera Olsen’s amorous eyes curved, and suddenly she wanted to leave.

At such events, leaving early was permissible.

Jalen Riley also followed her: “No wonder you said you’d introduce me to Samuel Morgan, you’re so familiar with him!”

Kiera Olsen didn’t deny it, simply smiling lightly.

Jalen Riley thought about how at the banquet, although Samuel Morgan was mingling with others, his eyes kept darting towards her… Surely Samuel Morgan was interested in Kiera Olsen!

They were all adults, and with Samuel Morgan being handsome and capable, he seemed like a great choice.

He asked, “What do you think of Samuel Morgan as a person?”

Kiera Olsen thought carefully for a moment then responded, “He’s down-to-earth, hard-working, and reliable.”

This subordinate is very useful! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have entrusted him with full control over the company.

Jalen Riley’s eyes lit up, “So, you have a good impression of him too?”

If Keira Olsen really could be with Samuel Morgan, he would definitely introduce Dr. South to her.

Keira Olsen: ???

Only then did she understand what Jalen Riley meant and couldn’t help but laugh. She was just about to speak when suddenly a deep cough came from the side!

Both of them turned their heads in unison and saw Lewis Horton standing on the balcony of the adjacent banquet hall.

The tall figure of the man towered over Jalen Riley by half a head, yet in that moment, his expression was dark, his deep black eyes coldly fixed on them.

Lewis Horton hadn’t expected to run into them so coincidentally.

He had come over just in time to overhear their conversation.

The few words of praise Keira Olsen had for Samuel Morgan… inexplicably made him a bit uncomfortable.

He scolded Jalen Riley harshly, “Miss Olsen is already married, what nonsense are you spouting here? Utterly absurd!”

Jalen Riley felt somewhat wronged.

He didn’t know that Keira Olsen was married; why was his cousin all of a sudden scolding him? But…

He hurriedly looked towards Keira Olsen, “You’re married? Does Samuel Morgan know?”

He hoped it wasn’t a case of unrequited love turning to hatred, with Samuel Morgan taking it out on her…

Keira Olsen nodded, “He knows.”

Only then did Jalen Riley breathe a sigh of relief, but curious, he asked, “You’re so young, why marry so early? Who is it that has you so devoted…”

Keira Olsen glanced at Lewis Horton and said nothing.

Lewis Horton replied indifferently, “You talk too much.”

Jalen Riley: “…”

He felt that his cousin was a bit odd today!

Lewis Horton narrowed his eyes and suddenly turned to Keira Olsen, “I’m ready to head back, shall we go together?”

Keira Olsen immediately nodded, “Okay, let’s meet at the entrance.”

Jalen Riley quickly followed behind her, “Wait for me, I’ll come too!”

In the middle of the banquet hall.

Isla Olsen noticed Jake Horton’s grim expression and felt a twinge of concern.

Keira Olsen also knew Samuel Morgan, could she also know Dr. South?

Lost in thought, Jake Horton had already approached Samuel Morgan, “Mr. Morgan, does Keira Olsen know Dr. South as well?”

The surrounding people immediately looked at him with eagerness.

Samuel Morgan could imagine, if he admitted “Yes,” the crowd would certainly rush to Keira Olsen and pressure her to reveal how she knew Dr. South…

He coughed, “How could she.”

Isla Olsen and Jake Horton both heaved a huge sigh of relief!

Seeing Keira Olsen heading towards the entrance, Samuel Morgan quickly said, “I have some things to take care of and need to leave now, you guys continue.”

As the crowd saw him chasing after Keira Olsen, they all smiled knowingly.

Jake Horton’s face darkened even more.

At the entrance, Keira Olsen was caught up to by Samuel Morgan, who straightforwardly said, “I need to go abroad tomorrow for a partnership meeting, and I need to take the company seal and the patent documentation with me, just letting you know.”

Keira Olsen nodded.

Only after Samuel Morgan left did Keira Olsen suddenly sense Jalen Riley’s peculiar gaze.

The man stared at her, “Something’s off. If Mr. Morgan is going abroad, why is he reporting to you? Could it be…”

His eyes widened in shock.

Keira Olsen fell silent for a moment, then sighed, “Alright, I admit it, I am Dr. South.”
