My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

Chapter 166  Cousin

She seemed to bear a resemblance to his third uncle...

With this thought in mind, he turned to Isla. "My third uncle mentioned that your mom is an old friend of his, asking me to look after your Olsen family for a while. Surely your family isn't so poor that you haven't even taken equestrian lessons, right? How can there be a sister who doesn't know how to ride horses?"

Isla immediately lowered her head, adopting a look of shame.

Without a word from her, of course, there was a little lackey to speak up for her. "Mr. Olsen, that's not Miss Olsen's biological sister. Her mother is a mistress; that girl is the Olsen family's illegitimate daughter. Of course, she wasn't treated well from her childhood and never learned horseback riding."

This statement displeased Ellis.

When his third uncle mentioned Jodie South, he did so with nostalgia and even made Ellis promise to help by checking if Jodie was doing well, and that Ellis should pay her a visit as a junior should.

If her husband had an illegitimate daughter, how could she possibly be living well?

Ellis snorted with derision. "An illegitimate daughter attending our banquet? Isla, your mother has really spoiled her too much!"

Isla forced a bitter smile and put on a helpless act. "Mr. Olsen, she's no longer the Olsen family's illegitimate daughter now. She's the wife of Uncle Lewis..."

Ellis was shocked. "What? You're saying Lewis married an illegitimate daughter?!"

Isla nodded...

But Ellis just sneered. "Ha, that hypocrite. I didn't expect he'd have such a day!"

Jake caught the implications in his words and immediately asked, "Mr. Olsen, you know my uncle?"

"Of course, I know him. We were classmates abroad!" Ellis said with a sneer, "Back then, I thought he looked decent enough and considered introducing him to a cousin at home who hadn't married yet. But this hypocrite rejected me..."

"Let's go!"

Ellis led everyone forward, "Let's go see for ourselves. He rejected several of my cousins. I want to see what kind of wife he ended up marrying! Lewis!"

Keira saw this group approaching from afar, so she prepared to dismount.

After all, as the owner of the equestrian club, she and Lewis should go and greet them.

But she didn't expect that just as she got close to Lewis, she saw someone who resembled a pompous peacock charge over, amorous eyes full of arrogance. He put his hands on his hips and said, "Lewis, you rejected my little sister, and you end up marrying a woman who can't even ride a horse? You really have no taste!"

Lewis frowned. "Ellis, if you've got nothing nice to say, you can shut up."

Yet, from his response, Keira quickly assessed the relationship between the two men. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

There was scolding and irritation in Lewis's voice; the other man must be his nemesis.

She immediately classified Ellis as an enemy.

Why would Ellis listen to Lewis?

He walked straight up to Keira, examining her from top to bottom deliberately in a frivolous manner. "Lewis, your wife sure is pretty, but you shouldn't be so shallow, judging by her looks alone."

The frown on Lewis's face was so deep it looked like it could kill a fly.

Indeed, he and Ellis were classmates, and their auras had always clashed while they were abroad.

Ellis loved socializing and parties, and each time he invited Lewis, Lewis never attended, eventually making Ellis take a dislike to him.

But even so, Ellis had always been relatively polite to him.

Today, those words seemed intentionally provocative.

Lewis narrowed his eyes and glanced at Isla standing beside him, instantly understanding that Ellis had come here to target Keira on Isla's behalf. He said sternly, "Ellis, if you disrespect my wife again, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Oh dear, I'm so scared!"

With feigned fear, Ellis laughed. "But you know me, I've always respected the strong. As classmates, I suppose I should show some respect for your wife. How about this, why doesn't your wife race me around the track?"

Lewis immediately said, "I'll race you. She can't ride a horse."

Ellis exaggerated his response. "You can't be serious? Someone doesn't know how to ride in this day and age? Isla, your family really hasn't treated the illegitimate daughter well, have you? Not even giving her riding lessons? Bringing her here to the equestrian club, isn't that a disgrace?"

Upon hearing this, Isla immediately responded, "Mr. Olsen, it was my father's decision…"

The young gentlemen from Clance immediately started to chime in. "Isn't she your father's illegitimate daughter? He doesn't even like her?"

Someone quickly explained, "Mr. Taylor Olsen loves his wife dearly. He's famously devoted to his wife. It was Keira's mother who tricked him, and then shamelessly clung to the Olsen family, refusing to leave after having her..."

A cold glint flashed in Ellis's eyes.

Being friends with Lewis, he certainly wasn't a simple character.

He was just more flamboyant in his actions.

If his third uncle wanted to protect Mrs. Olsen's dignity, then the existence of this illegitimate daughter must certainly be a disgrace to Mrs. Olsen. Today, he'd help vent some anger then!

Thinking this, he glanced at the people beside him.

They immediately understood his intention and started to point and whisper about Keira/

"No wonder she hasn't had riding lessons. She's just a pitiful girl, unloved by her father and mother. The Olsen family did well enough just to feed her and raise her…"

"I heard that back when Isla was learning to ride horses, Keira was serving her, even kneeling down to be a step for her to mount the horse!"

"Mr. Horton, your taste is really questionable, marrying such a wife. She's utterly worthless…"

Ellis glanced at Keira, who, regardless of what everyone said, showed no change in expression. He thought this illegitimate daughter really had some nerve.

At least this composed demeanor was something Isla didn't possess.

He scoffed and said, "What's there to be scared of if you haven't learned? Miss Olsen, right? Just run one lap with me. If you grit your teeth and endure it, I promise no one will speak about you again! Do you dare?"

Upon these words, everyone burst into laughter.

"Mr. Olsen, stop teasing her! She was already so scared she could only be led by a rope and walk slowly. How can you make her run? She'd be terrified out of her wits!"

"Not knowing how to ride is very dangerous, and the horses here are all tall and powerful. If she falls while running, it could be fatal!"

"By then, Mr. Horton will be devastated, he'll be a widower!"

"Don't say that. I bet Miss Olsen is so scared right now that her legs have gone weak, and her face has turned white…"

Lewis's expression was extremely unpleasant.

In Oceanion, out of respect for him, people would not dare to speak so offensively.

But these people from Clance seemed rather unrestrained.

He clenched his fists, about to teach this group a lesson, when his wrist was suddenly grasped by a soft hand.

Lewis was slightly taken aback, only to see Keira stepping out from his side, "Then let's run that lap."
