How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire-Chapter 94 -
Chapter 94: Chapter 94
Keira Olsen posed her question and immediately felt it was abrupt.
Childhood matters are something nobody wished to declare aloud.
Especially not these kinds of things.
Moreover, that older brother was not in Oceanion at the time, or else he would have been brought back by the police as well.
…How could such a coincidence exist in this world?
Keira Olsen chuckled and was about to say it was nothing when the door to the sickroom was pushed open once more. Holly Sims entered, and Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton immediately ceased their conversation.
...
Holly Sims still appeared a bit awkward, but quickly made her way to Keira Olsen’s bedside, her expression remaining icy.
In her hands, she carried a cup of lemon water and placed it in Keira Olsen’s hands, then turned her gaze away, stammering awkwardly, “I misunderstood you, and I apologize for that. I hope you won’t complain about Captain Lincoln and the others; it was all my misjudgment.”
Keira Olsen sighed and looked at Lewis Horton. Seeing him nod, she then said, “Don’t worry, both Mr. Horton and I won’t pursue this matter further.”
Holly Sims was slightly stunned, “Why?”
Normally, people who suffered this kind of injustice would not let them off easily.
The police department would issue disciplinary action against her and Captain Lincoln, even compensating them for emotional distress.
Keira Olsen merely smiled faintly, offering no response.
If it were someone else, she would never have tolerated this.
But Holly Sims… she was the one Keira had tricked back in junior high school.
Holly Sims seemed to understand something and tightened her lips, “Don’t worry, I’ll find the murderer as soon as possible and clear your name.”
After saying this, she noticed that both Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton had indifferent expressions, showing no change of emotion, which made her pause again, “You know who the murderer is?”
Keira Olsen raised an eyebrow and looked towards Lewis Horton.
She herself had a suspicion which had just been confirmed.
Lewis Horton knew too?
Then she saw the man nod, “I just sent someone to follow Connor Hill.”
Holly Sims realized, “Is Connor Hill the murderer?”
Keira Olsen didn’t respond to that, but instead asked Lewis Horton, “How did you discover it?”
Lewis Horton began to speak indifferently, his deep voice possessing a unique charm when analyzing a case, “There were only four people present at the time. The victim died instantly, so apart from you, me, and Mr. Davis, there was only him. Moreover, I was always puzzled, if Finley Hill wasn’t killed by you, then the voice that responded when I knocked on the door, where did it come from? There’s only one possibility, that it was a recording.”
Holly Sims immediately interjected, “But there was no recording device found at the scene, and there was no such recording in Finley Hill’s phone. Besides, his phone fell out of his pocket without any sign of being tampered with.”
Keira Olsen said coolly, “The recording wasn’t made with his phone, it was Connor Hill. When he saw the victim on the ground, he deliberately scattered things in his hands all over the place, and afterwards, when he called the police, it was with a phone he picked up from the ground…”
At that time, she didn’t think anything was amiss.
After all, the money was scattered all over the floor, so a phone dropping was not out of the ordinary.
It was only after the process of elimination pointed to Connor Hill that these details slowly fell into place.
The only person Finley Hill would pre-record a message for had to be someone he trusted. And for a man like Finley Hill, the only person he could trust was his son, Connor Hill.
Connor Hill didn’t know what trick was used to deceive him into recording, then placed his own cell phone at the crime scene, creating the false illusion that Finley Hill was still alive at that time.
In this way, Lewis Horton and Tom Davis both became indirect witnesses to Kiera Olsen’s manslaughter!
Afterwards, when Kiera Olsen entered the door, Finley Hill, who was on the verge of death, didn’t lunge at her at the moment of opening the door; instead, he fell over from lack of support!
Paired with that recording, people subconsciously would push the other person away…
If it weren’t for Kiera Olsen’s exceptional hearing, and the cautious nature of Lewis Horton and Tom Davis, all of them might have believed that Finley Hill was accidentally killed by Kiera Olsen! This situation was almost unsolvable!
Holly Sims was stunned as she listened, but then her expression turned grave, “Then I’ll arrange for an arrest immediately. If it’s about the recording on his phone, even if it’s deleted, we can recover it. That would be the most direct evidence!”
But Kiera Olsen shook her head, “Not in a hurry.”
Holly Sims, whose face rarely betrayed urgency, now showed some anxiety, “What’s there to wait for? I need to clear your name of the murder charge as soon as possible, don’t you know what people online are saying about you now?”
Even though she had just clarified it, netizens wouldn’t believe it.
Lewis Horton spoke slowly, “I think Miss Olsen must have a plan.”
Holly Sims looked puzzled at Kiera Olsen.
Kiera Olsen nodded, “Holly, I need your help with this favor, hold off for a few days. Before Finley Hill died, he said he would tell me a secret about Isla Olsen. Quite coincidentally, when I went to see him, Connor Hill killed him. To say that this has nothing to do with Isla Olsen, I don’t believe it.”
Holly Sims was taken aback, “So, you plan to use Connor Hill to draw out Isla Olsen?”
She gave a bitter smile, “Kiera, I remember now, I misunderstood you before, mainly because Isla Olsen was pleading with me on your behalf. Now I think about it, she must have been using me… But even if I understand this now, I can’t accuse her. Someone as calculating as her, even if she did direct Connor Hill, wouldn’t leave any slipups behind, and our police department probably can’t find evidence to arrest her either.”
Kiera Olsen shook her head, “Connor Hill had the intention to kill for a long time, at most, Isla Olsen was just a provocateur, I wasn’t planning to use this to get her jailed.”
Holly Sims was puzzled, “Then what are you…?”
Kiera Olsen wanted to say something but her throat twitched slightly, and she coughed.
Lewis Horton immediately said, “Drink some water first, I’ll explain for you.”
Kiera Olsen paused but obediently drank two sips of lemon water.

Lewis Horton then said, “I guess, what Miss Olsen wants to know, is actually Isla Olsen’s secret.”
Kiera Olsen’s eyes sparkled, and she nodded.
Lewis Horton continued, “Finley Hill knew a very important secret about Isla Olsen, since he trusted his son so much, he would surely tell Connor Hill. From what I’ve observed, Connor Hill is a pensive and meticulous person; he wouldn’t easily reveal Isla Olsen’s secret. Miss Olsen probably wants to cause discord between Connor Hill and Isla Olsen, making Connor Hill see Isla Olsen for who she really is, so after the incident, when he’s arrested, he won’t keep that secret for Isla Olsen anymore.”
With a cup of lemon water inside her, a warmth spread from the inside out.
The words of Lewis Horton were precisely her arrangements.
Isla Olsen thought that by killing Finley Hill, she could safeguard the secret?
But there was still Connor Hill ~
Holly Sims, upon hearing this explanation, was still a bit anxious, “But while the netizens are cursing Connor Hill, they are also cursing you!”
“It doesn’t matter,” Kiera Olsen put the water cup on the bedside table, her voice revealing powerful confidence, “Slander and gossip are mere irritations to me, but to him, they are definitely a disastrous flood, enough to make him lose his composure.”
Her confidence stunned Holly Sims.
All of a sudden, Holly Sims remembered something and said, “Kiera, what Finley Hill left on his cell phone for you is…”
