Chapter 63: Chapter 63
Samuel Morgan glanced at Keira Olsen cautiously when he heard this.
As soon as his boss got into the car, he adopted a keep-out demeanor that made driving a nerve-wracking experience for him.
He coughed and said, “The boss is right beside me, go ahead.”
The voice on the other end became much more respectful, “Boss, we found that Finley Hill has been gambling all these years. He used to lose hundreds of thousands every month, but a few days ago, he was set up and lost two million. When the people at the gambling den were about to break his legs, he shouted something, and they let him go. Guess what he shouted?”
“What?”
“He said, ‘My niece is Miss Olsen!'”
Keira Olsen paused briefly, but didn’t pay much attention to it, as Finley Hill always used to say things like “You are also Miss Olsen, ask your dad for money” when he asked her for money.
“Boss, did he come to ask you for money afterwards?”
Keira Olsen indifferently responded, “Isla Olsen must have given it to him.”
“She did. I checked his bank transactions, and the money was transferred two days ago. Moreover, I found that from ten years ago, Isla Olsen has been transferring two hundred thousand to him every month. Over the years, Isla has given him almost twenty million. It must be a huge leverage for it to be worth so much money!”
Keira Olsen coolly said, “Isn’t that what I asked you to investigate?”
“Hehe, don’t get mad, boss… let me continue!” The other person said in a playful tone, “I’ve checked everyone around Finley Hill and found that he keeps his mouth pretty tight. No one knows anything, but now I have a chance to pry it open — I just need you to cooperate a bit, boss.”
“How do I cooperate?”

“Finley Hill was conned again at the gambling den yesterday and lost five million… he is really desperate now, and five million isn’t a small amount. Isla Olsen won’t be able to come up with that money anytime soon. When that happens, Finley Hill will have no choice but to come to you, and then we can extract the secret, right?”
Keira Olsen narrowed her eyes, “Was this your doing?”
“Cough, I just used a little scheme. Boss, you can rest assured, I always remember your instructions to stay away from drugs, gambling, and vice, and to be a law-abiding good citizen!”
“…Understood.”
After hanging up the phone, Keira Olsen looked ahead.
She needed to uncover the secret between Isla Olsen and Finley Hill, to prevent them from eventually harming Mrs. Olsen.
Just as she thought this, her phone vibrated. It was a message from Mrs. Olsen to Dr. South: [South, are you busy? I’ve been thinking, and there’s something I need your help with…]
Keira Olsen replied, [I’m not busy, go ahead.]
Mrs. Olsen quickly sent a voice message, “Dr. South, this is the situation. The design plans you submitted to Horton Group were stolen by a young lady named Keira Olsen. I’d like you to tell Horton Group not to pursue her responsibility.”
Keira Olsen’s gaze sharpened, staring at the voice message for a long while.
She hadn’t expected Mrs. Olsen to contact her about this issue.
Seeing that she hadn’t replied, Mrs. Olsen sent another voice message, “I know this puts you in a difficult position, but Keira is almost like a daughter to me. I’ve watched her grow up since she was a child, and she’s not that kind of person. There might be some misunderstanding here. Are you free now? Otherwise, we could meet in person.”
Almost like a daughter…
Keira Olsen’s eyes suddenly welled up with tears!
She pursed her lips and texted back, [I’m on my way to your house now.]
After sending the message, she said to Samuel Morgan, “Go to the Olsen’s.”
The Olsen’s.
Mrs. Olsen took a deep breath after sending her message, her whole body tense, “Dr. South said she’s coming over now…”
At the side, Aunt South couldn’t help but say, “Mrs., you yourself don’t like socializing, and over the years you’ve hardly met any outsiders. Now, for her sake, you’ve taken the initiative to meet with Dr. South, you really are… meddling too much!”
Mrs. Olsen was frail and low in energy, and Aunt South felt very sorry for her, “Why do you have to be so concerned about that woman’s child?”
Mrs. Olsen lowered her head.
Isla and Taylor Olsen were not at home, so the two could speak some heart-to-heart words.
She suddenly spoke, “Sister South, actually, I don’t know either.”
Aunt South was startled.
Jodie South’s gaze was lost as she looked ahead, “You know me, I’ve never been a saintly type, but strangely, the first time I saw her as a child, I found her adorable and inexplicably liked her, unable to stop myself from caring for her. It was as if she was my daughter too…”
Aunt South also thought back to Kiera Olsen’s childhood, remembered her in tattered clothes, being insulted and beaten by Poppy Hill, and sighed, “She was indeed pitiable as a child, stuck with such an unreliable mother, truly pitiful.”
But her tone suddenly changed, “But Mrs., she is, after all, an outsider, and moreover, her mother being so wicked. Since she left, she has never come back to see you, nothing but an ungrateful wretch…”
Mrs. Olsen, however, said, “There must be some misunderstanding, don’t forget, it was Kiera who asked Mr. Horton to help find the hospital room and the medicine.”
Aunt South pursed her lips, saddened for her, “If she wouldn’t even help with that little thing, that person’s heart would be thoroughly cold! Mrs., can you not be bought over by such small favors? Remember, you were also once…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Mrs. Olsen suddenly looked at her.
Aunt South immediately stopped talking, “…anyway, you are someone who’s seen the big picture, you should understand, all that is just material possession, companionship is what’s most important. Think about Dr. South, how considerate he has been towards you all these years, spending so much thought on you? Every year he sends gifts for your birthday, never misses any holiday, a biological daughter couldn’t do better. If Dr. South doesn’t want to let Kiera Olsen go, please don’t make it difficult for him, after all, in this matter, Dr. South is the victim…”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Olsen silently sighed, “I know.”
On one side was Kiera Olsen, whom she had watched grow up, and on the other was Dr. South, who had given her so much. Mrs. Olsen didn’t want to upset Dr. South either.
After a long while, noises came from the doorway.
Isla Olsen had come home.
Mrs. Olsen hurriedly got up and went over to ask, “Isla, how did the Horton Group handle Kiera?”
Upon seeing Mrs. Olsen like this, Isla suddenly clenched her fists, “You… didn’t go to ask her yourself?”
“No, I was afraid that asking her would pressure her, and she would be upset.”
Isla’s expression grew even uglier, “She’s fine, Jake didn’t pursue her responsibilities.”
Mrs. Olsen breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s great, Isla, invite Jake over for dinner some day, I’d like to thank him properly.”
Isla’s expression tightened, “Okay.”
The Horton Group had issued an order, not to disclose Dr. South’s identity publicly.
Within the company, only the R&D department knew that the beautiful intern was Dr. South, but not her name.
Just as Isla came to this realization, the doorbell rang.
The nanny opened the door, and Kiera Olsen walked in.
Mrs. Olsen was overjoyed upon seeing her, “Kiera, what brings you here?”
Kiera Olsen smiled, “Didn’t you call me over?”
Mrs. Olsen: ??
As she puzzled over this, Kiera Olsen opened Dr. South’s WhatsApp and handed it to Mrs. Olsen.
