Victoria immediately moved toward that car.
She caught a glimpse of someone opening the door, and the first thing to come out was a pair of leather
shoes.
Next came black trousers, straight legs, and then…
Victoria deliberately walked unsteadily, pretending to be drunk, and when the person finally got out of the car, she threw herself at him.
“Ouch…”
Victoria let out a soft cry, then collapsed onto the man and rubbed herself against him. “Mr. Horton, I’m sorry, I just sprained my ankle.”
After saying this, she lowered her head, feigning shyness.
She had expected that the person would be a refined and gentle man, but instead, she heard an elderly voice saying, “Young lady, are you alright?”
Victoria stiffened and turned around abruptly to see an old man holding her: she straightened up

immediately in fright. “Who are you?!”
The driver also got out of the car, and upon hearing this, he immediately scolded. “This is Mr. Horton. Behave yourself!”
Mr. Horton…
He looked to be in his sixties, so could he be Lewis
Horton’s father, Nathan Horton?
Victoria’s complexion turned pale instantly, and she immediately stood up straight. “Mr. Horton, I’m sorry. I was just…”
She glanced at the ground, pointing to the pebbles beneath her feet. “It was an accident.”
Nathan coughed and looked down at his hand.
The woman who had just fallen into his arms had also rubbed against him, letting him grasp the smooth sensation he had longed for, and in that moment, he felt as though he had grown younger!
He looked at the young woman with a smile. “Which family are you from?”
Victoria laughed with her head down. “I’m a foster daughter of the Olsen family.”

After saying that, she heaved a sigh. “Now I live on my
own.”
Nathan asked, “Why do you live on your own?”
Victoria was almost on the verge of tears. “Uncle Olsen found his biological daughter, and I just didn’t fit in anymore, so I moved out… But it’s okay. I’m living quite well.”
Nathan frowned. “Living quite well, yet you’re about to cry? Is it because the Olsen family’s biological
daughter is too overbearing, not allowing you to stay at home?”
Victoria immediately waved her hands. “No, no. It’s not like that. She’s quite good to me…”
“Hmph!” Nathan was already dissatisfied with Lewis.
After arriving in Clance, Lewis spent all his time away from home, reportedly chasing after his fiancée.
Back in Oceanion, Lewis acted as if he was dying over the passing of his late wife, and Nathan had thought Lewis was truly lovestruck.
At that time, Nathan felt a bit happy, thinking that if Lewis fell apart because of his wife’s death, then the

Horton family might revert to the control of the first
branch!
But to his surprise, upon arriving in Clance, the young man actually learned to curry favor with those in
power!
In order to secure his position as the head of the Horton family, Lewis even began to play the game of
arranged marriages.
Without Nathan’s knowledge, an engagement was set up with the Olsen family, solidifying Lewis’s position in both the Horton family and in Clance!
And for this marriage, Lewis would lower himself to stay by his fiancée’s side…
It was as if all that previous aloofness was fake.
Nathan felt that in the end, Lewis was just like him, a man who would give up a woman for the sake of family business! He thought, “Let’s see what right he has to laugh at me in the future!”
Nathan snorted coldly and, therefore, had no good feelings for Lewis’s fiancée, whom he had not yet met. He said bluntly, “Such a daughter–in–law is simply a
disgrace to our family. If I had known earlier that the
493 Chapter 492
Olsen family had someone like you and that Lewis was going to get engaged to that woman, I would have
never agreed to it!”
Victoria lowered her head. “I used to fancy Mr. Horton too… My brother had planned to engage him with me, but unfortunately, someone beat us to it… After my sister came home, she must have heard the news, that’s probably why she can’t stand me…
The more she spoke, the angrier Nathan became!
SO
He looked at the driver next to him, asking, “Have the Olsens arrived yet? I want to see Uncle Olsen and ask him how he raised such a good daughter who has the gall to keep a gigolo! It’s like she doesn’t take the Horton family seriously at all!”
The driver immediately steadied the old gentleman and entered the living room through a side door. “I’ll go check. They should be here soon. The banquet is about to start, and the Olsen family is one of the most important guests. They won’t be late.”
Victoria also stepped forward to hold Nathan’s other arm. “Sir, let me walk with you.”
Nathan nodded with a smile, “Alright.”

As the two entered the living room, they saw that the hall was already bustling with people.
Because of her Alzheimer’s disease, Old Mrs. Horton rested upstairs and wasn’t meeting guests in the hall.
Nathan looked around, asking, “Where are the Olsens? Haven’t they arrived yet?”
Jake was entertaining other guests with Oliver. Upon hearing this, Oliver looked toward the door, “Not yet? Jake, go check if they have arrived!”
Jake said, “They should be here, probably at the entrance. Let’s have the butler welcome them.”
As soon as he said this, Oliver’s gaze flickered.
With Lewis hitching himself to the major support like the Olsen family, the first branch had even less hope.
Now that Lewis hadn’t appeared, if they slighted the Olsen family a little, could they upset this marriage?
Thinking of this, Oliver immediately said with a smile, “Right, Dad, you must be tired from your arrival, so take a seat first. I’ll have the butler welcome them!”

Outside the hall.
As time ticked away, the Olsons grew increasingly
angry.
James suddenly turned around. “Let’s go! If they don’t welcome us, what are we doing here?!”
Charles also spoke with indignation. “Exactly, this is too much on their part. They don’t see us as in–laws at all!”
The surrounding guests were pointing and whispering, but they spoke quietly, not daring to let the Olsens
hear them.
But the Olsens could still guess what they were talking
about.
After a while, the butler came out. “Ah, ladies and gentlemen, I’m so sorry. My master is busy
entertaining other guests inside, so he sent me to welcome you in! Sorry for the neglect!”
At this statement, everyone paused.
The anger on the Olsens‘ faces was almost too much to
contain.
What did this statement mean?

Could there be guests more important than the Olsen family?
Clearly not! This was definitely the Horton family showing their disdain for the Olsen family!
“Let’s go!!”
