How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire

Chapter 48: Chapter 48

Frankie Allen slightly startled.

The benefactor he met at the hospital yesterday had her hair messed up by Rebecca’s mother-in-law, making it hard for him to see her face clearly.

But this girl in front of him looked so much like her!

Frankie Allen hurriedly took a few steps forward, wanting to get closer to confirm.

Just then, the elevator arrived, and Keira Olsen and Jalen Riley entered.

By the time he got there, he only saw the elevator doors slowly closing.

…It really was unfortunate.

Frankie Allen didn’t hurry because the benefactor had called him last night and left her phone number.

After he finished the negotiations with Horton Group, he could call the benefactor and discuss with his family how to thank her.

…

Keira Olsen didn’t see Frankie Allen, and entered Research and Development Team One with Jalen Riley.

As soon as she entered the office, she saw her colleagues, one after another, looking sullen and frantically typing at their computers:

“Tomorrow is Friday already, asking us to submit the proposal, Vice President Horton is really making it tough on people!”

“I think we could just give up and accept mockery; it’s simply an impossible task for anyone.”

“Did the team leader go home to sleep last night, does that mean she has given up?”

“Ah~ I wonder how Mr. Olsen is doing? Can he bring us a surprise?”

Luca Barker immediately said, “Don’t say that, it’s too much pressure on the junior, as impressive as she is, she can’t compare to Dr. South, age is just a number…”

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Then seeing Keira Olsen and Jalen Riley enter, the group immediately started gossiping excitedly: “Team leader, did you attend the gathering yesterday, did you meet Dr. South?”

Jalen Riley rolled his eyes: “Dr. South attending that kind of gathering? If he dared show up, a group of people would surely eat him alive!”

“Did you meet Mr. Morgan? Did he mention what area Dr. South is currently researching?”

“That didn’t happen.” Jalen Riley suddenly looked towards Keira Olsen, “But we can ask privately, Keira Olsen has a good relationship with him.”

“What?! Mr. Olsen, you actually know Samuel Morgan! Ahh, does that round up to knowing Dr. South?”

Several people looked at Keira Olsen in unison: “Mr. Olsen, if you have a chance, could you introduce us to Dr. South?”

Keira Olsen swept her gaze over the group, each of their faces brimming with joy and anticipation.

She slightly curled her lips: “Sure, perhaps we could even work together.”

With that, everyone immediately laughed:

“Let’s not even think about that, it’s too daring to imagine!”

“Just to admire Dr. South’s style would be satisfying!”

“If we could get his guidance, it would also be extremely beneficial!”

“…”

Everyone chatted and laughed, but finally began to work under Jalen Riley’s roar.

Keira Olsen carried her laptop to her own separate office. Just as she was about to enter the room, Jalen Riley suddenly called her back: “Don’t overdo it, the intensity of this project is far beyond our team’s capabilities, and the leaders have seen it, they won’t let Jake Horton truly discourage an entire group of people.”

Listening to his reassurance, Keira Olsen smiled: “Don’t worry, trust me.”

Jake Horton stood outside the office, staring fixedly at Keira Olsen.

The girl’s features were excessively beautiful, and her confident, bold smile was reminiscent of her college days, as if any hardship could be lightly overcome in her presence.

But where did her confidence come from?

Such a challenging task, aside from Dr. South, no one could complete it so quickly!

He turned around, walked to the break area, and took out his phone to call Isla Olsen: “Can Dr. South really send me the solution before tomorrow?”

Keira Olsen nervously thought of delaying time, “Jake, Dr. South has been very busy lately and has been overseas…”

Jake Horton sounded agitated, “If we delay further, Keira Olsen and her team will have solved the problem!”

Keira’s voice was laced with panic, “I’ll urge him again.”

Jake Horton suddenly narrowed his eyes, “Keira, you aren’t deceiving me, are you?”

“Of course, I’ll go and urge Dr. South right now.”

After hanging up the phone, Keira was frantically pacing.

For the past few days, she had been using Mrs. Olsen’s email to message Dr. South, but his replies were heartless, outright stating that he was on a business trip and not to disturb him!

Tomorrow she definitely wouldn’t have a solution, and then, when Jake Horton saw her as no longer of any use, he might call off the engagement…

No!

She would never allow that to happen.

Her eyes suddenly filled with determination, she entered the hospital room and looked at Mrs. Olsen, “Mom, do you know anyone from the Allen Family in Clance? Jake wants to connect with them.”

Mrs. Olsen’s condition had been very stable these past few days, and she was due to be discharged tomorrow.

She was initially reading a book on her hospital bed. At Keira’s words, her fingers tightened slightly, but then she lifted her head and said indifferently, “I don’t know them.”

A flicker passed through Keira’s eyes.

Mrs. Olsen’s reaction was clearly one of recognition, yet she didn’t want to introduce her!

This selfish woman didn’t deserve to be a mother.

She was nothing like Poppy Hill, who had been utterly compliant with her from a young age!

Now that Mrs. Olsen refused to help her, what was she supposed to do?

Keira was genuinely panicking.

…

Keira Olsen hadn’t taken full control of the whole project, as colleagues from her team had helped a lot.

By the time they were leaving work, the entire solution was almost finalized and just needed to be fine-tuned.

Keira Olsen, carrying her laptop, headed to the underground parking lot and got into Lewis Horton’s Bentley, but didn’t see him there.

The driver explained, “Mr. Horton has business to attend to tonight, he asked me to take Miss Olsen home first.”

Keira didn’t think much of it, “Okay.”

Only that night, Lewis Horton didn’t come back.

The next day.

Keira Olsen went to work in high spirits, carrying the solution she had finalized the night before.

Just as she arrived at the R&D department, she saw Jake Horton with a coffee in the break area, clearly waiting for her, “Keira Olsen, just a friendly reminder, today is the last day. If you haven’t submitted the solution by the end of work, then you’ll have to stand by your words as I’ll have won our bet!”

Keira Olsen: “…”

Does this man seriously have nothing better to do?

She rolled her eyes and walked to her office, but Jake Horton followed, “Stick with me, and you won’t be at a loss. At least, I could introduce you to Dr. South…”

Keira scoffed, “Really unnecessary.”

Jake Horton snapped angrily, “I know you’ve climbed up the ranks with Samuel Morgan, and think you no longer need my connections. But do you think Samuel Morgan will introduce you to Dr. South? He just sees you as an object! If he had any genuine feelings for you, he would help solve your problems!”

“I don’t need help.”

Jake Horton chuckled, “Don’t need it? Just because a few people call you a genius, do you really consider yourself on par with Dr. South, thinking you can come up with the solution?”

“My solution is already complete.”

Keira Olsen stopped in her tracks, her tone mocking and borderline amused, “On the other hand, Vice President Horton, have you received Dr. South’s solution yet?”
