My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

76 Drive Her Away

When Keira put down her phone, she realized that the

first dance was over.

Jake and Isla walked over from the dance floor, once again surrounded by a crowd of congratulations.

At that point, someone came over. It was Jake’s sidekick, Arian O’neil, who was feeling smug. He said to Keira, “I know you are Dr. South, but what does that matter? You are just a researcher. Can you compare to young Mr. Horton’s fiancée? She has connections in

Clance! In this circle, it’s all about who you know!”

Keira didn’t know what to say.

She completely ignored Arian. Looking into the distance, she saw Mrs. Allen pushing Rebecca out an met Mr. Allen and Frankie Allen. The four seemed to

talk about something, and Rebecca looked a bit

emotional.

She was a little worried and prepared to go over to check.

But she didn’t expect that the moment she stepped

forward, Isla, who just got off stage, stopped her. “Keira, are you going to see Mr. Allen?”

Isla had noticed her earlier, and seeing Keira going to talk to Frankie now, she was a bit nervous and stepped

in front of her.

She didn’t know that Rebecca was also at the banquet.

She only knew that she couldn’t let Keira talk to

Frankie, in case she let slip. Frankie could tell the real from the fake with one phone call!

Fortunately, Frankie had just asked for the person to be sent away, which gave her an excuse.

As long as they could safely get through today, once the Allen family left, no one could expose her again!

As soon as she started talking, Jake turned his head and saw Keira. He was stunned by her appearance.

Isla was planning to let him drive Keira away, but seeing Jake infatuated with Keira and not speaking, she clenched her fists in anger.

Isla took a deep breath and spoke again. “I think this is really inappropriate. Mr. Allen seems to not want to see you.”

10:35

Keira gave her a cold glance. “Who do you think you are? You can make decisions for Mr. Allen?”

Isla lowered her head, looking wronged.

She definitely couldn’t break her innocent image right now. She particularly missed Poppy at this moment for her accurate and useful advice!

Fortunately, Jake finally came back to his senses. He stepped forward, shielding Isla behind him, and said angrily, “Keira, how can you speak like that? What do you mean by ‘who is Isla?’ She is my fiancée.”

People around them immediately started talking.

“Yes, Miss Olsen is like half the hostess. Among all the female guests here today, her status should be the highest!”

“Who is this person? She dares to speak to Miss Olse like that! Doesn’t she understand the saying, ‘When in Rome, do as the Romans do’?”

“I seemed to see Mr. Horton talking to her just now. Could she be the lady brought by Mr. Horton?”

“She’s just some woman, not Mrs. Horton. How could she possibly surpass Miss Isla’s esteemed status!”

Keira frowned, too lazy to listen to them speak further. She maneuvered around them and prepared to leave.

But Isla took a step forward and grabbed her hand. “Keira, it’s a celebration today. There seems to be some misunderstanding between you and Mr. Allen. Don’t bother him. You man disturb the cooperation between the Horton Group and the Allen family.”

Keira shook off Isla’s hand. “None of your business.”

She didn’t use much force, but Isla’s eyes flashed, and she intentionally took a step back and fell.

Jake immediately glared at Keira. “Keira, how could you hit her? Apologize to Isla now!”

Isla was his fiancée, and in such a setting, he felt embarrassed.

Keira looked amusingly at Isla and said, “I didn’t hit

her.”

“I saw it, and you’re still trying to deny it? So many people are watching!” Jake took a deep breath. “Keira, do you think you can do whatever you want just because my uncle and Grandmother spoil you? This is the Horton Group, not your home! You can’t cause a

scene here! You need to apologize to Isla today and leave immediately. Don’t upset Mr. Allen!”

There were a lot of implications hidden in those words.

Arian purposefully asked, “Young Mr. Horton, what’s going on? Does Mr. Allen dislike her? Why?”

Keira also wanted to know why, so she didn’t refute but looked directly at Jake.

Jake chuckled. “Of course, it’s because when she was at the hospital…”

Before he could finish speaking, his arm was grabbed by Isla.

When Jake looked at her, Isla shook her head slightly and sighed. “Keira was impulsive and offended Mr. Allen, but the exact reason is personal and shouldn’

be discussed.”

Jake thought Isla was talking about Rebecca’s issues, which definitely weren’t glorious and weren’t suitable for public discussion.

Isla continued. “Jake, it was just that Keira used a little too much force when she pushed me, but she didn’t do

it purpose. I don’t need her to apologize.”

On

Jake frowned. “Isla, you’re just too kind.”

He glared at Keira, “Isla has dropped the issue without blaming you. Get out of here now! If you don’t leave, I’ll call security!”

Isla quickly said, “Keira, Mr. Allen said earlier that he

didn’t want to see you here! For the sake of the Horton Group, it’s better for you to leave.”

The conversations between the two triggered the surrounding people.

“The Allen family is the guest today after all. We should definitely put their preferences first. This young lady should hurry up and leave!”

“Exactly, hurry up and leave. Don’t embarrass here!”

“She looks quite pretty, but how thick-skinned is she Jalen, listening to these words, immediately stepped in front of Keira and shouted in anger, “Keira, I mean, Miss Olsen was invited by Mr. Horton. I’d like to see who dares to drive her away?!”

With his words, the crowd became silent.

“I dare.”

Jake stepped forward and stood in front of Jalen. “I’ve made my decision. I’ll kick out this person today. Even if my uncle blames me, I’ll still kick her out to avoid hindering our cooperation with the Allen family!”

As soon as he said this, the surrounding crowd echoed.

“Young Mr. Horton is so decisive!”

“Beauty is indeed a disaster. There is discord between Mr. Horton and Mr. Allen. Does the woman beside him not know how to absorb tensions? She’s even adding fuel to the fire!”

“Marry an understanding woman! Look at her, and then look at Miss Olsen, who is so knowledgeable understanding, and most importantly, she can han the relationship with the Allen family. She’s a virtud helper indeed!”

The raised voices of the argument attracted the attention of the entire banquet hall.

Rebecca, who had just met with Frankie and Mr. Allen and was annoyed because she was told by Frankie not

to have too much contact with Keira, noticed the commotion over here.

She didn’t want to join, but she suddenly noticed something. “Isn’t that the northeast corner?”

Mr. Allen replied, “Yes.”

Rebecca was worried. “Let’s go and see if something happened to Miss Olsen!”

Mr. Allen unconsciously looked at Frankie’s expression.

Frankie took a deep breath. Seeing Rebecca’s anxious look, he eventually nodded. And so, the four of them

walked in this direction.

Frankie was pushing Rebecca’s wheelchair personally as the family of four arrived at the edge of the crowd.

They didn’t get too close, afraid that someone might accidentally bump into Rebecca, so they stopped a short distance away, where they could vaguely hear the conversation taking place.

Keira was surrounded by a few people from the Horton Group, blocking her from their view. Everyone was in suits, and the women were in formal attire, so

they couldn’t immediately spot her.

Only through the conversation of the surrounding people did they get a vague understanding of the

details.

Frankie said, “It seems Miss Olsen is helping to drive that woman away. Rebecca, you should stay hidden for

now.”

That woman…

Rebecca nodded, but she wasn’t willing to move further away. She said to Frankie, “Brother, go and see

what’s happening quickly. That woman is very fierce. Don’t let Miss Olsen get bullied. I’ll wait for you here.”

Frankie then left his parents to look after Rebecca, as he squeezed through the crowd, walking toward Jake and Keira.

As the surrounding people saw him, they respectfully greeted him, “Hello, Mr. Allen.”

Jake also said immediately, “Mr. Allen, don’t worry. I’ll drive this woman away immediately, so you guys won’t

be bothered.”

He stopped being polite and directly commanded Arian, “Go call security.”

Frankie, keeping in mind his sister’s instructions, firs looked at Isla. Seeing her holding her own wrist, he frowned immediately. “Miss Olsen, are you hurt?”

Once his sister saw this, she would definitely feel

upset!

When Isla saw him showing such concern for her, she was overjoyed but still replied modestly, “Just a minor injury. Keira didn’t mean it…”

However, Frankie’s frown deepened.

That woman dared to hit someone?!

He gave Keira a disgusted look and harshly said, “Don’t you want to purchase raw materials from the Allen family? I can sell it to you, provided that you kneel and apologize to Miss Olsen immediately, knocking your head on the ground three times!”

Frankie didn’t like Isla, so he obviously wouldn’t stand up for her over such a minor incident.

But he didn’t want the situation to escalate and

become widely known since he couldn’t hold this woman accountable for her slanders against his sister in the past.

Now that he had finally caught hold of an opportuni he used this as an excuse to ruthlessly punish her or his sister’s behalf.

It was to make her pay the price for her malicious

words!

Keira narrowed her eyes.

This Frankie was pushing his luck!

Jalen was also enraged. “Mr. Allen, whatever grudges you hold, to resort to such humiliation is too much!”

3/9

Jake also felt it was a bit over the top, so he couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Allen, Isla has already let it go. After all, they’re sisters…”

But Frankie wasn’t backing down. “I’m a person that places importance on the principle of the matter, and I don’t have as generous a heart as Miss Olsen.”

He was staring directly at Keira, his face

expressionless. “Believe it or not, if you can’t satisfy me, I can make it so you can’t buy raw materials within the country! Your little company will go bankrupt!”

Originally, he wanted to stall for time and delay their delivery, causing them to lose some compensation

money.

But now, he wanted to go all out!

It would be a matter of minutes for a large corporati like the Allen family which had existed for several generations to crush Keira’s small company. It would be too easy!

Keira stared at him.
