Now Kiera was really curious, “What relationship?”
Frankie thought of his parents’ concern for her and opened his mouth, “This matter can’t be clarified in a moment; it seems to involve the previous generation as well. My dad is more familiar with it; it’s more suitable for you to speak with him face to face. Rebecca mentioned that you two have arranged to meet tonight, shall we go find my parents together after the event is over?”
“Alright then.”

Kiera wasn’t in a hurry for the rest of the afternoon.
Frankie then looked at her, “I heard you are Mrs. Horton?”
Kiera raised an eyebrow, “So?”
Frankie suddenly stepped closer, lowering his voice, “I didn’t come alone this time; several wealthy heirs from Clance came along to have fun. Each of their families’ strength could match the Horton Family or even surpass it. Shall I introduce you later?”
Frankie’s eyes darkened slightly.
Last night, Rebecca Allen clung onto him for a long chat, saying that even though Lewis Horton had publicly acknowledged Kiera as his wife, there were still some unpleasant voices at the banquet.
They were mocking Kiera for her humble origins, saying that an illegitimate daughter simply wasn’t a match for the Horton Family.
They also said they didn’t want to socialize with such an illegitimate daughter in the future wife’s social circle…
Rebecca was quite worried for her, so she strongly insisted that he come to help her.
The group of wealthy scions from Clance today were Frankie’s own connections, and by introducing them to Kiera, her treatment within the Horton Family should be somewhat improved…
Just as he thought this, he heard the girl in front of him speak indifferently, “No need.”
Frankie was slightly startled.
Kiera then said, “Thank you for your kindness, but it seems Mr. Horton doesn’t want to get overly entangled with Clance.”
Frankie frowned, and behind his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes conveyed concern, “That’s his personal prejudice, Miss Olsen. You should understand that in business there is no distinction of region, especially when the most powerful families and businesses in Crera are in Clance. If Lewis Horton insists on going it alone, sooner or later he will be brought down by the shareholders of the Horton Group! As his wife, if you could help him solidify relationships on the Clance side, the Horton Family will definitely recognize you.”
Kiera knew Frankie was looking out for her, but she still smiled, “Really, there’s no need, thank you.”
Seeing her composed and unrushed demeanor, Frankie thought she didn’t understand the strife among the wealthy families, so he explained carefully, “To my knowledge, the first branch of the family has already been in contact with Clance’s connections, attempting to open up cooperation in that market. They plan to use this achievement to attack Lewis Horton. The sudden appearance of these wealthy heirs today in Oceanion seems to be the connections found by the first branch, and I’ve heard that it might be thanks to Mrs. Olsen’s efforts…”
Kiera was slightly startled, “What?”
Frankie sighed helplessly, “How can you be so indifferent toward the Horton Family’s affairs? How many mistakes has Isla Olsen from the first branch made! There was the false claim of bravery, a criminal record, why can the first branch still tolerate her? You really think it’s because she’s pregnant?”
Frankie checked the surroundings to make sure no one was coming before he continued, “Mrs. Olsen personally visited, and the Horton Family allowed Isla Olsen inside because Mrs. Olsen had very powerful connections. This horse racing event was an agreement reached between Mrs. Olsen and the Horton Family! The condition for Jake Horton to marry Isla Olsen was that Mrs. Olsen would introduce the Clance connections to the first branch.”
Kiera paused for a moment.
At the time Mrs. Olsen was in poor health and personally visited the Horton Family, Kiera was also present. What exactly Mrs. Olsen and Melissa Knight discussed later, she didn’t know in detail, but the next day, Isla Olsen and Jake Horton got their marriage certificate and she entered the Horton Family straight away.
So it was Mrs. Olsen who had arranged this horse racing gathering to introduce Jake Horton to the group of heirs from Clance?
She tightened her jaw, feeling a vague concern for Lewis Horton.
At the same time, a bittersweet emotion that she couldn’t quite describe rose up in her heart…
Although Mrs. Olsen didn’t directly interfere with the dispute between the first branch and Lewis Horton, this action was siding with the first branch, helping Isla Olsen.
After all…
Isla Olsen was her biological daughter, and her relationship with Lewis Horton hadn’t been made public at the time.
It was understandable for Mrs. Olsen to choose to help the first branch.
Her downcast appearance made Frankie misunderstand, thinking she was finally getting worried, so he comforted her, “Don’t worry, with the relationship between Rebecca and you, the Allen Family will be your connections in Clance.”
Kiera couldn’t help but smile, “You really misunderstood, I don’t…”
Before she could finish saying ‘need them’, Lewis Horton, having changed his clothes, walked over.
He caught sight of Frankie Allen and Kiera right away.
Keira Olsen was dressed in a white equestrian outfit today, while Frankie Allen wore a full set of blue riding attire; standing together, they made a strikingly handsome couple.
There was still a hint of warmth on Frankie Allen’s face.
This sudden warmth ignited a sense of crisis in Lewis Horton’s heart, and he hurriedly walked over to Keira, pulling her hand from behind and eyeing Frankie warily, a declarative stance of ownership in his gesture, “Mr. Allen is looking for my wife, is there something you need?”
Frankie Allen: ?
He frowned, “No big deal, just…”
“If it’s nothing important, then please don’t delay our horse riding.”
Lewis Horton said this coldly and looked at Keira, “Didn’t you find horseback riding interesting? I’ll take you to learn.”
Keira raised an eyebrow, “…Okay.”
The two left hand in hand, leaving Frankie Allen standing there in disarray!
Could this couple seriously be thinking about learning to ride horses right now?!
Was today really for horseback riding?!
It’s like the eunuch being more anxious than the emperor!
Ah spit!
He certainly wasn’t a eunuch.
Frankie Allen internally grumbled a few complaints, then shouted, “You’re leaving just like that?”
Lewis Horton paused midstep and turned back to look at him, “Otherwise?”
Frankie Allen’s brows furrowed, “I can introduce you to those people from Clance.”
Lewis Horton’s gaze turned icy, “Not necessary.”
“Why are you being so stubborn!” Frankie Allen was genuinely getting angry, “The Davis Family is one thing, but you have no dealings with the rest. If you keep this up, how can you securely sit as the chairman!”
Lewis Horton’s expression remained indifferent, a powerful and inexplicable confidence radiating from him, “Whether or not I sit securely will not affect the cooperation between Horton Family and Allen Family.”
Frankie Allen: “…That’s not what I mean!”
“Oh.” Lewis Horton’s demeanor was still frigid, showing no sign of closeness, “Does Mr. Allen have anything else?”
Seeing his distant manner, Frankie Allen sighed silently.
He understood that Lewis Horton was very mindful of the relatives on his mother’s side.
If the positions were reversed, no matter who it was, taken out by cesarean section after just seven months just for a divorce, barely surviving, could anyone feel affection for that birth mother?
Seeing the two of them heading toward a more secluded corner, he could only remind them, “Miss Olsen, don’t forget we agreed to look at the photo tonight.”
Lewis Horton’s step faltered, and his brow furrowed slightly, “What photo?”
Keira Olsen explained lightly, “Aunt Allen said there’s a photo related to me, and I am going to check it out.”
Lewis Horton looked displeasedly at Frankie Allen, “Is he going to be there too?”
Keira Olsen was somewhat puzzled, “Yes.”
Lewis Horton simply said, “Can’t we see it now?”
“We can…”
Frankie Allen smiled.
He leisurely took out his phone, pulled up the photo he had previously captured.
In the photo, a twenty-years-younger Mr. Allen stood next to a woman in her forties, who was well preserved for her age.
That woman bore a striking eight-tenths resemblance to Keira Olsen!
