496 Chapter 495
Old Mrs. Horton froze in place the moment she saw “Keera“, and she came to a sudden halt.

She stared at “Keera” in shock, then rubbed her eyes and looked at the girl again. She must be seeing things. Otherwise, how could she have seen her
granddaughter–in–law?!
Time seemed to stop at that moment. Old Mrs. Horton suddenly jolted, her hands trembling as she pointed at “Keera“. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her lips quivered. She was unable to speak a word.
Even Fiona, who was by Old Mrs. Horton’s side, was stunned, staring at Keira.
Their reactions were so extreme that the surrounding audience noticed something was wrong and looked toward them, whispering among themselves.
“What’s wrong with old Mrs. Horton?”
“What could it be? She must be furious. After all, the rumor that Miss Olsen has kept a gigolo has been spreading like wildfire!”

“Indeed, Miss Olsen is in the wrong. She’s caused quite an ugly scene, giving the Horton family a bad name!”
“Miss Olsen is just relying on her power and influence. Even if the Horton family is aware, they wouldn’t dare do anything to her…”
“That’s right. The Olsen family is, after all, one of the five major families. Besides, look, Miss Olsen has been here for quite a while and hasn’t greeted the elders yet…”
“The Horton family’s anger is understandable. Being cuckolded like that…”
“From the moment she entered, she hasn’t glanced once in the direction of the Horton family. I really don’t understand. Does she want to keep this
engagement or not? The Horton family has been so disrespectful, yet they still entered. This shows that the Olsen family still intends to go through with the marriage. Since they’re here, why not take the initiative to lower their stance a bit?”
“Look how angry old Mrs. Horton is. Her lips are trembling. It’s been said that old Mrs. Horton’s health isn’t perfect; I hope she doesn’t get ill from the

anger…”
While the crowd was quietly discussing, Uncle Olsen stepped forward and greeted old Mrs. Horton, “Hello,
Auntie.”
According to seniority, Uncle Olsen was considered a junior to old Mrs. Horton.
Old Mrs. Horton seemed not to hear him and
continued to stare fixedly at “Keera“, her eyes gradually reddening and filling with tears.
Uncle Olsen wore a hint of satisfaction on his face as
he saw this scene.
Seeing old Mrs. Horton’s emotional reaction, she must be pleased with his daughter.
After all, when they were in Oceanion, both Lewis and old Mrs. Horton had been very protective of his
daughter…
Just now, at the entrance, he was somewhat displeased by the first branch of the family’s deliberate
negligence. He felt that Lewis couldn’t even manage this small family matter and was going to let his

daughter marry into an environment where she’d be mistreated…
But now, he felt soft–hearted again.
Having such an elder in the family was actually a good thing.
The one thing his daughter had always lacked was familial love…
His brother couldn’t help but speak up in a low voice, “Sam, isn’t old Mrs. Horton being a little too much? You took the initiative to talk to her, and she ignored
you…”
James also frowned. “Exactly. Mrs. Olsen, why don’t you speak? My uncle is greeting you! The Horton family is so rude…”
Uncle Olsen immediately looked at James. “Don’t be impolite! Is this how the Olsen family taught you to treat your elders?”
James immediately grimaced, quite dissatisfied.
He felt aggrieved for them!
Peter also frowned and bluntly said, “Uncle, haven’t you realized? From the beginning, the Horton family

never intended to treat this marriage seriously. After all, my sister was at fault first. I think it would be best to call off this engagement!”
No sooner had these words been said than Victoria
came over, standing beside Old Mrs. Horton, and said, “Peter is right, Uncle. Since everyone is unhappy, why not peacefully dissolve the engagement? I don’t think the Horton family will pursue any blame, right? Mrs.
Horton?”
Victoria looked at old Mrs. Horton with a smile.
Fiona had come to her senses and nudged old Mrs. Horton’s arm. Old Mrs. Horton finally snapped out of it and said sternly, “No way!”
Victoria and the people from the Olsen family were slightly taken aback.
Then Victoria added, “Mrs. Horton, do you want the Olsen family to apologize? That would be going a bit too far… My sister is indeed thoughtless, and she certainly made a fool of herself. I’ll apologize on her behalf. The Horton and Olsen families have long agreed on this marriage; let’s not make it too unpleasant. Moreover, the betrothal gift has already

been given; to ask for it back now would be a loss of dignity…”
Old Mrs. Horton immediately replied, “Who said anything about calling off the engagement? The Horton family will not cancel it!”
Victoria’s eyes immediately lit up. “Right, right. After all, the two families have long agreed on the marriage. It’s impossible to call it off. Since that’s the case… it’s not like the Olsen family doesn’t have other suitable daughters…”
Someone nearby immediately chimed in, “Exactly, Miss Victoria is also an unmarried daughter of the Olsen family. The marriage agreement could be transferred to her, and the union between the Horton and Olsen
families could continue…
Victoria immediately responded with feigned shyness. “How could you say such a thing?”
Then she turned to Uncle Olsen. “Uncle, the Olsen family has raised me; if needed, I wouldn’t refuse…”
Uncle Olsen didn’t know what to say.
Before he could speak, old Mrs. Horton suddenly
pushed through the crowd and rushed to Keira’s side.
