How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire

Chapter 57: Chapter 57

Keira Olsen set down her phone, and only then did she lift her head to look at everyone.

Her own mother had set such a trap against her, she was supposed to feel a bit upset.

But at this moment, there was only a chill in her heart.

Because she was used to it.

She believed that for the sake of Isla Olsen, there was nothing Poppy Hill wouldn’t stoop to.

Her gaze passed indifferently over Poppy Hill and settled on Isla Olsen.

Keira was actually very curious, just how many benefits had Isla Olsen given Poppy Hill for her to be so utterly devoted to her!

She didn’t speak because she understood that until Samuel Morgan came to prove her identity, whatever she said was futile, these people wouldn’t believe her.

However, she didn’t speak, yet someone spoke for her.

Jalen Riley’s tone was arrogantly like a villain, “What kind of direct evidence is this? From the video, we can only see that it’s Keira Olsen’s mother who copied something from Isla Olsen’s computer. As for exactly what was copied, who knows?”

Jake Horton snorted with laughter, “Isla Olsen is the person in charge of handing the solution over to Dr. South. Keira Olsen’s mother copied something from her, and then Keira Olsen turned in a solution identical to Dr. South’s. Doesn’t that explain everything? Jalen Riley, even if you want to protect Keira Olsen, there’s a limit!”

Jalen Riley straightened his neck, “What protection? I’m just stating my doubts! This evidence can’t directly indicate that it was Keira Olsen who instructed her mother to steal the material!”

Upon hearing this, Poppy Hill, who was kneeling there, immediately cried out, “Yes, yes, it wasn’t Keira who told me to steal; it was me wanting to steal on my own! It has nothing to do with Keira, It was all my own doing as a mother…”

She grabbed the arm of the manager of the Administrative Department, “I beg you, don’t drag Keira into this! My daughter, who finally graduated from university, she can’t lose her job over this…”

The manager of the Administrative Department sighed upon hearing this, “What did you steal?”

Poppy Hill immediately replied, “The solution for Hydrogen Fuel regarding the new energy source.”

The manager of the Administrative Department nodded, “Do you know what Hydrogen Fuel is?”

Poppy Hill was stunned and shook her head.

The manager of the Administrative Department continued, “Yes, see, I’m not in R&D, even I don’t know what that is. If your daughter didn’t tell you what to steal, how could you have stolen it for her?”

Poppy Hill seemed to choke up.

She stuttered, unable to speak, but eventually, she bowed her head fiercely, “I don’t care, I did it, and it has nothing to do with my daughter! Call the police, take me away, it’s my fault…”

The manager of the Administrative Department let out a deep sigh, his gaze upon Poppy Hill filled with both exasperation and sympathy.

Jake Horton watched Poppy Hill.

He was supposed to dislike this mistress very much, but seeing her go to such lengths for her daughter, he couldn’t bear it.

Jake Horton suddenly roared, “Keira Olsen, say something! You’re not really planning to push all this onto your mom, are you? Don’t you understand the most basic filial piety as a human being? Do you even have a heart?!”

The manager of the Administrative Department also said coldly, “Vice President Horton, don’t be agitated. We in the administrative department will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. Horton Group won’t wrong any mother, nor will we retain an unfilial employee!”

Keira Olsen knew it would be like this.

The consequence of speaking out in denial was nothing more than the skepticism of these people.

She gave a low chuckle, knowing the matter was certainly not over yet.

As expected, Isla Olsen sighed and took a step forward with feigned sincerity, approaching Poppy Hill, “Aunt Hill, even if you want to shoulder this by yourself, it’s impossible. Everyone is not a fool; they know full well what’s really going on. The best course of action now is to admit your mistakes and seek the Horton Group’s forgiveness. Otherwise, Kiera might still be expelled from her academic program…”

“Is that so?”

Poppy Hill looked to the head of the Administrative Department for help.

The head of the Administrative Department nodded, “Yes, we have our judgment. You’re covering for your daughter, and we can all see that…”

Poppy Hill collapsed to the ground, as if she had lost all support.

But suddenly, she seemed to come to a realization, crawled a few steps and rushed to Kiera Olsen, grabbing her leg, “Kiera, there’s no other way, admit your mistake! If you admit it sooner, the Horton Group might give you a chance. Even if you do get expelled, you will still have your education and can find another job. But if you don’t confess and the school expels you, your future will be truly ruined!”

She appeared to be in great pain, even squeezing out a few tears, yet unbeknownst to others, her eyes turned fierce.

Kiera Olsen looked down at her mother kneeling before her and still found it ludicrous.

In the past, Poppy Hill was direct with her, always forcefully demanding Kiera to give in to Isla.

And now she had even learned to play the victim?

It must have been taught by Isla, right?

Poppy Hill continued to wail, “I’ll apologize on Kiera’s behalf, I’m her mom, I’ll apologize to everyone for her! I hope everyone can give her another chance, and I hope the school doesn’t expel her from her academic program…”

She “bang bang bang” truly knocked her head on the floor a few times.

The heavy thuds made everyone feel a touch of heartache.

…What a wonderful mother indeed!

The head of the Administrative Department rushed over, trying to help her up, but couldn’t pull her to her feet. She hurriedly shouted at Kiera Olsen, “What are you standing there for? Your mother is so sincere and honest, how did she give birth to an unfilial daughter like you?!”

The Vice-Chancellor of Oceanion University also displayed a look of pity from the stands.

The Dean directly spoke up, “Kiera Olsen, are you still not admitting your mistake? Are you trying to drive your mother to her death? How could our university have a student like you? Mr. Chancellor, do you see this? This is the person Professor Miller insisted on vouching for, and I don’t know how she confused his mind. He’s been so foolish that I had to suspend him from his position!”

The Vice-Chancellor frowned, feeling the words were unpleasant, “You should say less.”

He had come with the Dean today because Professor Miller had called him, mentioning the situation about the Dean wanting to expel a student.

The status of a student’s academic program is like their calling card; expulsion is a very serious matter, and the Dean had even suspended a professor’s position!

The Vice-Chancellor thought it was indeed going too far.

That’s why he had come at Professor Miller’s request.

But now, it seemed that perhaps what the Dean did wasn’t wrong?

He couldn’t help but look at Kiera Olsen, “Student, you should apologize quickly! If this goes on, even Professor Miller won’t be able to protect you!”

Poppy Hill immediately stopped knocking her head and looked at her daughter, “Kiera, did you hear that? Everyone wants you to apologize quickly, they will give you another chance…”

Just then, there was a knock at the door, and someone outside called out, “Mr. Samuel Morgan has arrived.”
