Chapter 123: Chapter 123

Even before getting close, he had already heard cries of alarm.

Lewis Horton’s frown deepened further, and he pressed the accelerator harder.

With a drift and a screech, the car stopped in front of old Mrs. Horton’s courtyard gate.

Lewis Horton pushed open the car door anxiously, expecting to see a scene of the girl being bullied and shivering, but as soon as he got out of the car, he was stunned by the sight before him.

There stood Kiera Olsen, poised and with a sharp look in her eyes, exuding an aura of authority, with a group of security guards lying around her on the ground.

The housemaids stood trembling at a distance.

Jake Horton was also stunned, clearly not expecting Kiera to be so capable of fighting.

He gazed at Kiera, struck by how saintly and superior she appeared at that moment, making him feel for the first time that he couldn’t catch up with her in college not because she didn’t like him, but because… he might not be worthy of her.

His jaw was tight.

The Kiera he knew was a loner by nature. In school, she liked to keep to herself but was obedient, smart, and clever. She always diligently completed assignments or cleaning tasks set by teachers and students.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt as though he had never truly understood her.

She stood aloof from the world, looking down with disdain.

It suddenly dawned on him that in college, she wasn’t really afraid of the teachers and classmates, but rather, she felt it was unnecessary to bother about them.

It was like a lone wolf had sneaked into a pack of huskies.

She tried to blend in with everyone, and he had indeed treated her like a misfit husky…

Isla Olsen hadn’t expected such a scenario either.

Back in the Olsen family, Kiera was always the one who couldn’t fight back. When had her skills become so good that she could knock down seven or eight security guards just like that!

Looking back at Jake Horton, she saw admiration in his eyes?

This made Isla Olsen bite her lip hard. She hurriedly shouted, “Kiera Olsen, how dare you lay a hand on someone in the Horton Family? Call the police, we need to call the police!”

These words brought Melissa Knight back to her senses. She took a few steps back, distancing herself from Kiera, and then took out her phone to dial, saying, “Good, you dare resist the security, let’s see if you dare resist the police!”

Unfortunately, before she could make the call, the phone was snatched from her hand.

Kiera wore a nonchalant smile on her face, “Didn’t you just say Fiona couldn’t call Mr. Horton? Now, guess if I’ll let you call the police?”

Melissa Knight stepped back in fright, tripping over her feet and falling to the ground.

Only then did she hear Lewis Horton’s car, and turning her head to see Lewis Horton arriving, she cried out as if seeing a savior, “Lewis, Jake, come quickly! This woman has gone mad!!”

Kiera slightly tilted her head, her cold gaze shifting towards Lewis Horton.

The violent aura around her hadn’t subsided yet, the bloodlust still escalating, seeming as if she would strike anyone who dared stop her.

Lewis Horton strode over, taking her hand, and after studying her with a furrowed brow, he said, “How could you resort to violence?”

These words caused Kiera’s expression to darken.

At this, Isla Olsen quickly shouted, “Exactly, uncle, we were just talking nicely with Kiera, but then she suddenly started hitting people… not even caring if she disturbed old Mrs. Horton or stressed her physically…”

Hearing this, Melissa Knight chimed in immediately, “Exactly, Lewis, you must do something about her! This is the first time someone has dared to be violent in the Horton family, showing no regard for us at all! This woman is too savage! Can’t she talk nicely? Where is the gentle and graceful appearance of a woman?!”

Jake Horton stared intently at Lewis Horton holding Keira Olsen’s hand, his lips tightly clenched in unwillingness.

Keira Olsen said coldly, “Do you think I shouldn’t have hit him?”

“Of course.” Lewis Horton frowned deeply.

Keira’s expression darkened, and she was about to pull her hand away when she heard his concerned voice, “Look, you’re bleeding. Have you forgotten about your anemia? Do you not realize how precious your blood is to you?”

Keira Olsen: ?

She paused slightly.

She hadn’t expected Lewis Horton to say she shouldn’t have hit someone because of this.

Her heart warmed slightly, and the chill on her body slowly faded away…

However, Lewis Horton seemed not to notice the change in her demeanor and directly ordered the nanny standing by, “Go to the yard immediately and call the family doctor over!”

Before long, the nanny arrived with the family doctor.

The family doctor hurried to Keira’s side, his expression very anxious: “Miss Olsen, where are you injured? Is it severe?”

“…”

Keira Olsen fell silent for a moment, then embarrassingly raised her hand.

Seeing the tiny wound, which had merely broken the skin from punching someone, but had already clotted, the family doctor couldn’t help but twitch his mouth, “Am I too late? It’s already scabbed over.”

Keira Olsen: “…”

Lewis Horton: “…”

The family doctor reluctantly took out the iodine, and disinfected Keira’s wound.

But after meeting Lewis Horton’s almost murderous gaze, he silently took out a cartoon-patterned band-aid and applied it to her wound.

This theatrical scene rendered everyone present speechless.

Melissa Knight was the first to recover, “Lewis, you are really overdoing it! Have you decided to cover for her?! Do you know how arrogant she was just now?!”

It was then that Lewis Horton looked at her, “Miss Olsen has always won people over with her virtue, it must be that you pushed her too far.”

“You…” Melissa Knight was livid.

Isla Olsen then stepped forward, “Uncle, she was clinging to Jake, trying to keep one foot in each boat with you and Jake; my mother-in-law and I thought it might affect your relationship as uncle and nephew, so we decided to drive her away.”

“Is that so? Clinging around here?” Lewis Horton looked sternly at Jake Horton, “Oh, I forgot to remind you all, for grandma’s safety, I just had a few cameras installed around the yard. Why don’t we check the surveillance to see whether it was Miss Olsen clinging to Jake Horton, or the other way around?”

Jake Horton suddenly choked, “That won’t be necessary, I just wanted to clear some things up with her…”

Melissa Knight immediately changed the subject, “Lewis, the truth is I asked her to move out from the Olsen’s for your sake; your wife is about to return from abroad, right? When she comes back and sees her, it will disrupt the household! Lewis, such a woman shouldn’t stay!”

Taking advantage of the moment, Isla Olsen added, “Plus, Uncle, you weren’t here to see how arrogant she was! She said she is the hostess of this house, that she is your wife…”

Keira Olsen frowned.

She had never said that, and she hoped Lewis Horton wouldn’t start thinking she was presumptuous.

She was about to explain to Lewis Horton when she saw the man glance her way, his narrow eyes flashing briefly, his lips slowly curving into a smile.

Just then, Old Mrs. Horton came running out, frantic, “You brat, tell these villains whether your wife is indeed your wife or not!”
