Chapter 496
Old Mrs. Horton’s actions stunned everyone.

….
The next moment, James wanted to step in front of Keira. “Mrs. Horton, we should keep this to words. Please don’t resort to violence!”

While speaking, he also made a gesture as if ready to block an attack.

If old Mrs. Horton dared to make a move, his sister definitely wouldn’t fight back, so he would rush forward to block the attack for her!

Not only did James misunderstand old Mrs. Horton’s actions, but so did everyone around them. They all looked toward old Mrs. Horton, about to comfort her, but then they saw…

Old Mrs. Horton grabbed Keira’s hand earnestly. “Are you Miss Keera from the Olsen family?”

This scene left the onlookers baffled.

James’s outstretched hand didn’t know where to go!

Keira looked at old Mrs. Horton.

Memories of the time they lived together as a family flashed through her mind—the eggs old Mrs. Horton cooked for her, the gentle massages on her bruised face…

She knew old Mrs. Horton had recognized her.

After all, old Mrs. Horton had been through so much. Even now that she was ill, she immediately understood this wasn’t the time to reveal Keira’s identity, and so she asked this way…

Keira felt a sting in her eyes and nose…

Tears were welling up in her eyes, and she nodded, “Yes, Grandma, my name is Keera Olsen.”

Old Mrs. Horton was taken aback. “Keera Olsen?”

“Right,” Keira nodded. “Keera with two e’s.”

Old Mrs. Horton’s eyes became redder. Nodding, she said, “What a good name. It has a nice ring to it. It’s exactly the name I’m looking for in a granddaughter-in-law! Sweetheart, why haven’t you come to see me after getting engaged to Lewis?”

Keira immediately answered, “I’ve been a bit busy lately, Grandma. I’m sorry.”

“What’s there to be sorry about? Just come over more often in the future.”

Old Mrs. Horton held Keira’s hand. “Sweetheart, I liked you as soon as I saw you! Fiona, quick, bring out our family heirloom bracelet and put it on my granddaughter-in-law! Keera, come, let’s sit over there. Keep me company and chat with me…”

Keira immediately nodded.

She held old Mrs. Horton’s arm and could feel that the old lady was still trembling.

She suddenly felt a bit guilty.

The Horton family had moved to Clance for quite some time now, and even though she knew old Mrs. Horton’s health was poor and it made her sad, she never visited the old lady. It wasn’t the nicest thing to do!

Thinking of this, Keira escorted old Mrs. Horton aside.

But James was puzzled. “Hold on, Mrs. Horton, you… you’re very pleased with my sister?”

Old Mrs. Horton immediately replied with a smile, “Yes, very much so! I’m super satisfied. This young lady is so beautiful. It’s like she was made for my family. She has to marry Lewis!”

James was confused.

So was everyone around them.

Even Victoria couldn’t help but interject, “But Mrs. Horton, she has a boyfriend on the side!”

As soon as this statement was made, the Olsen brothers immediately glared at her.

What was wrong with her?

At such a time, how could she say something like that?!

Upon hearing this, old Mrs. Horton thought of how her grandson was rarely home lately, claiming to be driving his fiancée, and suddenly understood what was going on.

She realized the gigolo that her granddaughter-in-law was rumored to be keeping outside was her own grandson!

Old Mrs. Horton immediately glared at Victoria. “So what if she has? As long as my granddaughter-in-law is willing to marry my grandson, even if she keeps ten men on the side, I won’t mind!”

The crowd was dumbfounded.

Keira didn’t know what to say.

Even James was dumbfounded. Watching the two women walk to the side, he felt this world had become a realm of fantasy.

He couldn’t resist turning to Charles. “Did our little sister feed Old Mrs. Horton some kind of bewitching potion? How could she say something like that?”

Charles replied, “I think old Mrs. Horton might have mistaken her for someone else.”

Victoria promptly said, “Exactly, I’ve heard old Mrs. Horton has Alzheimer’s disease; she must be confused!”

Upon this revelation, the people nearby paused and then quickly realized something.

“So that’s what it is! But at least it’s dissolved the strife between the two families and broke the deadlock of today’s situation!”

“Right, let’s get started. But why hasn’t Mr. Lewis Horton arrived yet?”

“Isn’t that mysterious?”

…

As the crowd chatted, Victoria glared ferociously at “Keera” and Old Mrs. Horton, who were sitting on a couch in the corner.

Whatever they were discussing, old Mrs. Horton was soon wiping away tears.

Keira immediately pulled out a handkerchief to dab her eyes, and the two looked very harmonious together!

But how could this be?! Victoria took a deep breath.

Just then, she caught sight of a figure entering through a back door nearby…

The man wore a suit and looked extremely handsome and dashing. Wasn’t that the gigolo driver that “Keera” kept?

Victoria sneered and promptly walked over!

“What are you doing here?!”

Victoria blocked Lewis’s path, berating loudly. “Do you know this is the Horton residence? Are you here looking for Keera? Did Keera ask you to come?”

After that, someone nearby asked, “Miss Victoria, who is this person?”

“He’s the gigolo that Keera is keeping on the side! I can’t believe Keera actually brought him to the banquet. You better leave right now. Your presence here is a disgrace to the Hortons!”
