Chapter 45: Chapter 45
Keira Olsen narrowed her eyes, “Speak.”
Finley Hill stepped forward and lowered his voice, “This truth, even if I sell it to you for two million, it’s a bargain, considering how rich the Olsen Family is…”
“It’s related to the Olsen Family?”
Keira Olsen tensed her jaw.
“Right.”
Finley Hill chuckled, “Actually, you are…”
Before he could finish, a stern shout came, “Finley Hill, Keira Olsen, what are you doing?!”
Keira Olsen turned her head and saw Isla Olsen running over in a panic, holding the dress she had worn to the banquet.
Finley Hill smiled, “I’m doing business with my great niece here!”
Isla Olsen clenched her fists, “I’ve already given you the money!”
Finley Hill spread his hands, “But now I’m short on money again~”
“…How much do you need?”
Isla Olsen took a deep breath, “I’ll give it to you!”

Finley Hill laughed, “Your great niece just agreed to give me two million!”
Isla Olsen tightly clenched her fists.
Finley Hill sighed, “I guess I’ll transact with the great niece instead.”
“I have it!”
Isla Olsen said through gritted teeth, “Go back first, and I’ll give you the money tomorrow.”
“Alright then.”
Finley Hill turned and ran, telling Keira Olsen, “Great niece, consider that two hundred thousand as a loan from me…”
He ran off swiftly, afraid that Keira Olsen would ask for it back.
…What a scoundrel!
Keira Olsen was not in a hurry.
If she wanted the money back, she had plenty of ways to get it.
She turned and walked toward the inpatient building.
Behind her, Isla Olsen’s phone rang. She answered, “Jake~”
Jake Horton asked, “Isla, I remember Mrs. Olsen is from Clance, can you ask her if she knows the Allen Family?”
“The Allen Family?”
“Right, their head of the house is Frankie Allen. I just heard that my uncle wants to facilitate a collaboration between Horton Group and the Allen Family, but there’s still no connection.”
Isla Olsen immediately understood.
Jake Horton wanted to use the Allen Family to boost his status in the Horton Group.
She said, “I’ll ask my mom later.”
After hanging up the phone, Isla Olsen calmed her emotions.
As long as she could marry into the Horton Family, what was two million, after all?
She needed to think of a way to connect with the Allen Family!
Mrs. Olsen was staying in the second-level VIP ward, Old Mrs. Horton was on the third floor, and Keira Olsen and Isla Olsen were walking up the stairs together.
As they turned onto the second floor, they suddenly saw a mother and son having a conversation ahead.
The mother said joyfully, “Your aunt just called, she has introduced you to someone wealthy… Go home now for the matchmaking!”
The son complained, “Mom, as long as my wife has surgery, she can be cured. Why should I go matchmaking?”
The mother said anxiously, “Didn’t you hear the nurse? The surgery costs five hundred thousand, and there will definitely be a lot of money needed for aftercare. Where would our family get that much money!”
After a moment of thought, the son said, “Let’s sell the house, she bought it with her dowry.”
The mother scolded with frustration, “We can’t sell the house. If she dies, you can still find someone better with a house. If there’s no house, then you’ll have nothing! You’ve been together for two years, consider this house as compensation for your youth!”
The son was taken aback, “Isn’t that a bit much? She fell out with her family because of me.”
The mother sneered, “That’s exactly why no one cares whether she lives or dies since she hasn’t had any contact with her family for the past two years, and has no one to support her in the future.”
She lowered her voice, “We’ll just say we’re broke, take her back, and if she doesn’t survive three days, once she’s buried, you can marry the girl you met on the matchmaking date… The one now has wide hips, good for bearing children! She won’t end up like this one, a lady in health but a servant in fate!”
The son narrowed his eyes, his interest piqued, “Then let’s not treat her!”
Though they spoke in hushed tones, the silence and echoes in the corridor meant Keira Olsen heard everything loud and clear.
She stopped in her tracks.
She felt the mother-in-law was too malicious and the husband repugnant.
She didn’t know who the unfortunate girl was that had encountered such a despicable pair.
Just as this thought crossed her mind, she sensed something, looked down the corridor and saw a pale, frail girl in a hospital gown standing at the door.
The mother and son saw her too, their expressions changing drastically.
The son blurted out, “Rebecca…”
The girl named Rebecca said, “Call my dad, he will pay for my medical bills…”
The mother sneered, “We’ve called already, but the moment they saw it was my son’s number, they hung up and wouldn’t pick up again. You cut ties with them, what do you want with them now?”
Leaning against the wall, Rebecca could barely stand, shaking uncontrollably, seemingly lacking the strength to speak, she said to the son, “Then give me the cell phone, I will call my brother…”
The son’s gaze flickered, “Stop making a fuss, you’re so sick, the doctor said you can’t play with the phone.”
Decisively he said, “Mom, go handle the discharge procedure, I’ll take her home.”
Rebecca tried to run, but she was too weak and collapsed to the floor. With the last bit of her strength, she grabbed onto Isla Olsen’s leg, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s, pleading for help, “Please call my brother, I’m begging you…”
Isla Olsen was heading to the second floor, which made her closer to the corridor than Keira. Grabbed by her, instead of feeling any sympathy, Isla immediately pulled back her leg!
She rolled her eyes in disgust, “What are you doing? For a man, you broke off relations with your family. Love makes you foolish and there are consequences. You’ve brought this on yourself!”
The mother and son, seeing that she wasn’t interfering, breathed a sigh of relief.
The son picked up Rebecca, “Rebecca Allen, your parents don’t want you anymore, I’m your only legal guardian now, you can only listen to me!”
Rebecca Allen despaired…
She knew that going home with mother and son meant death…
But she didn’t want to die; she knew she was wrong, she wanted to see her brother, wanted her parents…
Regretful tears rolled down her cheeks as Rebecca Allen closed her eyes.
Just when she thought her life was about to freeze in place, a low and indifferent voice said, “Wait a minute.”
Rebecca Allen opened her eyes only to see that beautiful figure walking out of the shadowy staircase.
The beautiful woman’s expressionless face came right up to her, “The phone number.”
Tears poured down Rebecca Allen’s face!
The mother yelled, “What are you doing? I’m warning you, don’t meddle in other people’s business!”
The son chimed in, “Even if you call, it’s no use, nobody will pick up.”
Keira Olsen, however, only looked at Rebecca Allen, “The number.”
In a weak voice, Rebecca Allen rattled off a string of digits.
Keira Olsen took out her cell phone and made the call.
The call was quickly answered, and a cool, young man’s voice came through, “Hello, this is Frankie Allen.”
Without hesitation, Keira Olsen stated, “Rebecca Allen is critically ill and requires immediate surgery.”
The voice on the other end immediately turned panicked and anxious, and she heard the sound of the man running as he urgently asked, “Where is she?”
Keira Olsen gave the name of the hospital.
The man said, “I’m in Oceanion on a business trip, I can be there in half an hour!”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Keira Olsen faced the mother and son, her tone firm, “No one is taking her anywhere until her brother arrives.”
Once she finished, Isla Olsen scoffed, “Really sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong, be careful her family comes and they pin the blame on you!”
