My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

698  Chapter 697

Amidst the chaotic press conference, a few reporters still maintained a sense of fairness, trying to calm the situation.

"If it's twenty-five minutes, then let's just wait."

"They must have something important to share if they're asking for more time. I don't think Mr. Olsen is being unreasonable…" Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

But as soon as these voices of reason were heard, others scoffed.

"If you want to wait, that's your choice, but don't waste our time! No wonder the Olsen Group sees you as insignificant."

"Mr. Olsen, you owe us an explanation today."

The collective frustration of the reporters seemed enough to blow the roof off.

Keira frowned, glancing at Uncle Olsen for support.

While Uncle Olsen could brush off most questions, one reporter boldly pushed forward, locking eyes with him. "Mr. Olsen, do you regret bringing your daughter back into the family? If she wasn't here, none of this would have happened!"

That question caused Uncle Olsen's expression to harden instantly. His gaze swept across the room before he decisively grabbed the microphone from the reporter.

With a voice that was steady and resolute, he declared, "The best thing that's ever happened to me was finding my daughter!"

He looked at Keira, his eyes filled with unwavering conviction, radiating a powerful determination. "No matter what my daughter has done, I will stand by her. And let me make one thing clear—my daughter is extraordinary!"

His words sent the room into an uproar.

The reporters immediately started shouting.

"Mr. Olsen, what are you saying?"

"Are you condoning your daughter's betrayal?"

"Mr. Olsen, this is outrageous! Were you just toying with us? Now that your stock prices have stabilized, you think you can just do as you please? Well, let me tell you, the public has a long memory!"

"Your daughter is extraordinary? Betrayal is extraordinary? What kind of values are these?"

"If she's done something wrong, she should own up to it. Is an apology so hard to give?"

"Exactly…"

As the reporters hurled accusations, Ellis rushed over, standing behind Uncle Olsen and whispered urgently, "Uncle, someone's live-streaming this. Your words just went out, and now Olsen Group's stock price is plummeting!"

Uncle Olsen let out a cold laugh. "Let it drop! I won't be bullied into submission by anyone—not even by the moral judgments of the entire world!"

With that, he turned to Keira, his voice firm, "You will always be my proudest daughter."

Keira felt her eyes sting, warmth spreading through her chest.

She stared at Uncle Olsen, taken aback, and after a moment, she wiped her slightly teary eyes. "Dad, I understand."

She paused, then smiled softly. "Having you as my father is the best thing that's ever happened to me."

Uncle Olsen had spent his entire life navigating the ruthless world of business and was as unyielding as steel. Now, he found his eyes misting up at her words.

He cleared his throat, "I'm sorry I missed out on your youth."

Keira shook her head. "It's okay."

Their eyes met, a deep sense of understanding passing between them.

But the reporters below weren't about to let the tender moment pass without a fight. They continued their relentless attacks.

"What's going on here? Did you invite us just to have a father-daughter reunion?"

"Mr. Olsen, didn't you say you'd give us answers? Is this your idea of an explanation?"

"We'll never trust the Olsen Group again! This is a complete scam! You'll turn into a company of traitors!"

"We're boycotting all Olsen Group products!"

The crowd was practically foaming at the mouth, and if it weren't for the strict security checks at the entrance, they might have been throwing rotten vegetables by now.

Keira watched the enraged reporters, feeling a mix of emotions.

Beside her, Uncle Olsen straightened his posture, hands clasped behind his back, and asked, "Are you scared?"

"Not at all!"

Keira answered without hesitation.

"Good. Keira, the challenges ahead will be much tougher than this."

Uncle Olsen reassured her.

"I'm aware."

She knew that in order to save her mother, she'd have to endure the brutal battle for the South family's inheritance, which would expose her to much more than this.

Uncle Olsen nodded. "But remember, I will always support you, no matter what decisions you make."

"Understood."

Just then, Ellis suddenly picked up his phone, exclaiming, "Uncle, look! Professor Barry Brandt is back in the country!"
