407 Chapter 406
The Olsens and the Hortons were set to be joined in matrimony. That piece of news had been announced to the public for quite some time now.
It had started a few years back when everyone thought Christina would be the one to marry into the Horton family, but unfortunately, the Hortons didn’t agree, and the matter came to nothing.
Later, it was heard that Lewis had taken a wife, so there seemed even less hope for the marriage.
But no one expected Lewis’s young wife to pass away so early, and suddenly the position of his wife was vacant again!
The Olsens brought up the marriage alliance once more, and surprisingly, the Hortons did not reject it.
Yet this affair had been gossiped about in Clance for a long time now, and so far, neither family had confirmed anything to the public. Why would they suddenly come to deliver the betrothal gifts today?
While everyone was busy gossiping, Joseph also pulled

aside his daughter to clear the way for the butler.
Uncle Olsen raised his eyebrows, looking toward Keira.
Keira also showed a surprised look, her gaze turning to the butler in confusion.
The butler’s face lit up with joy as he quickly stepped inside. “I saw them bringing over a bunch of gifts, and they are unloading them from the car. Someone tipped me off, saying these are all betrothal gifts from the Horton family, and told me to inform you first!”
Uncle Olsen burst into laughter. “Good, that brat has finally come to his senses! Today is indeed a day of happiness!”
The butler laughed too. “A day of happiness indeed!”
Ellis, upon hearing this, instinctively turned his gaze to his recently acknowledged cousin Keera.
He knew very well that Lewis had been staying at Keera’s place. Was this a move to make Keera his wife?
He suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable.
As glorious as his cousin Keera was today, the memory of his deceased cousin Keira was just as poignant.

407 Chapter 406
Once upon a time, Lewis had loved Keira deeply, willing to offend Uncle Olsen for her sake…
And now… it was no more than finding a substitute.
He bowed his head, suddenly picked up a glass of wine, took a sip, and then turned to look at Mary, only to see her frowning slightly, her gaze shifting toward Victoria.
Ellis then looked toward Victoria and saw her face blush with shyness, her eyes bright, yet she cast them downward.
People around immediately turned their attention to her, teasing her.
“Miss Victoria, I hear Mr. Horton is quite the catch; you’re really lucky with this marriage!”
“Yes, truly! This marriage is wonderful!”
“You and Mr. Horton really are a perfect match, and
moreover…”
Their voices trailed off as they suddenly looked toward Ellis, and they each lowered their voices, afraid of being overheard by him.
“Why did Mr. Horton have to choose today of all days

to deliver the betrothal gifts if not to stand by
Victoria’s side?”
“You know, I hadn’t realized, but now that you mention
it, I think you’re right! Otherwise, there’s really no need to make such a grand gesture of delivering the betrothal gifts.”
“From what the butler said, there are quite a lot of betrothal gifts, and they are still unloading them! How long will that take, I wonder?”
“Miss Victoria, have you met Mr. Horton? What does het look like?”
Surrounded by everyone, Victoria looked down shyly, her demeanor growing even more bashful. “I haven’t met him yet, but my family has indeed been in contact
with him…”
She glanced at Keira inadvertently, a smug smile curling at the corner of her lips!
What did it matter how her brothers treated her just
now?
Even with all the gifts they sent, it was but a drop in the bucket for the Olsen family, but if she were to
marry Lewis… the Horton family would be hers!

said that the value of the Horton and Olsen family’s assets weren’t far apart, both being among the most famous merchant families in the city of Oceanion, Crera’s richest city! The Hortons surely wouldn’t be much less than the Olsen family, perhaps even stronger!
Joseph then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
With this event diverting everyone’s attention, his daughter could escape any trouble for the time being.
But just as this thought crossed his mind, he heard his daughter step forward with a loud laugh. “Keera, do you see? What does it matter if you are Uncle Olsen’s legitimate daughter? The Hortons have come over to support Victoria! Among the Olsen daughters, Victoria is surely the most successful!”
Having recklessly finished her speech, she
provocatively looked at Uncle Olsen. “Uncle Olsen, I can understand you favoring your own daughter, and I can even understand why you had my father hit me just now, but some things need to be said!”
Joseph had already rushed up to grab his daughter’s arm. “Have you lost your mind?”

But his daughter forcefully pushed him away, “I’m not mad! Even if I don’t speak out, everyone knows very well about Keera’s sordid past! Father, don’t confuse matters here! I just have to say it, or I won’t feel
relieved!”
Seeing this, Joseph, enraged, reached out to cover her
mouth!
But in the next moment, he heard Uncle Olsen’s chilling voice. “Let her speak!”
Joseph’s movements paused.
