My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

101 The Stolen Life

Keira’s eyes were cold and sharp. The smirk at the

corner of her mouth was devilishly enticing, carrying a wild vibe.

A sense of alienation from the world engulfed her.

The truth was, she never really felt she belonged to

this world.

When she was little, Isla had her classmates isolate and bully her. After leaving the Olsen family, she kept to herself over the years, making few friends.

The opinions and views of others were irrelevant to

her.

She wasn’t afraid of the invectives on the internet

did she fear the real-life reproaches. The words of journalists and Poppy hadn’t perturbed her at all.

So even if she threw a punch and hit someone, whic caused her name to trend online, she wouldn’t care!

With that thought, she took a step forward. The aura of defiance around her suddenly intensified!

The journalists immediately hoisted up their cameras,

ready to capture the moment she initiated an attack. Once that happened, she would become the target of public outrage!

But just then!

A deep voice filled with sternness rang out suddenly.

“Stop!”

Surprised, Keira looked downstairs to see a tall figure striding toward them.

Lewis dressed in a tailored suit and was angry when he saw the scene. He waved his hand, and the bodyguards behind him surged forward, isolating Keira and the journalists and filling the narrow staircase.

The bodyguards emitted an intimidating aura, and their fierce appearance intimidated the journalists

Poppy.

Josh swallowed nervously. “Mr. Horton, what’s going

on?”

Lewis’s eyes were dark. “I suspect that you’re illegally infringing on Miss Olsen’s freedom!”

Josh quickly defended himself. “We are just doing a

normal interview…”

His voice lacked conviction even as he spoke.

“Normal?” Lewis scoffed. “You can discuss that with my legal team.”

Having said that, he walked over to Keira, picked up her suitcase with one hand while grabbing her wrist with the other, and led her down the stairs.

This time, no one dared to obstruct them.

As Keira followed him down and out of the building, the sunlight showered upon her, sweeping away the gloom in her chest.

She looked up at the blinding sunlight, her expression cold and her voice indifferent. “You shouldn’t have come. Those journalists couldn’t have cornered me.”

Lewis replied, “If you hit someone, you’ll be critic

“I’m not afraid of being criticized.”

“But you shouldn’t be criticized.”

Keira was taken aback.

She had become accustomed to being criticized and being incompatible with others. She was used to

putting up a prickly defense. She never thought she’d hear such words one day.

The coldness around her gradually faded, and the alienation in her eyes slowly vanished.

Suddenly, she let out a soft chuckle.

Lewis asked, “What are you laughing at?”

“I’m just thinking how miserable Connor must be right

now.”

Keira looked up and was back to her old self again. “He’s probably on the verge of collapsing…”

If Connor couldn’t hang in there and go to Isla, the two of them would fall out. Keira could then produce evidence of Connor being the murderer. Once he was arrested, he would expose the secret that Finley t to his grave…

As they talked, they came to Lewis’s Bentley. As the door opened, Keira immediately noticed that old Mrs

Horton was inside.

Old Mrs. Horton’s gaze fell upon their still holding hands… Her eyes lit up. “Well done, my boy!”

Keira had just realized that they were holding hands.

She instantly withdrew her hand, finding the spot where he’d gripped her wrist was hot.

To change the subject from the old lady’s amused expression, she asked, “Grandma, what are you doing here?”

Old Mrs. Horton promptly replied, “Of course, I came to pick up my granddaughter-in-law and take her home!”

“Home?”

“Yes!” Mrs. Horton seemed hopeful. “I’m sick of the hospital. My dear, since you can’t stay here anymore, why not come home with me?”

Just as Keira was about to refuse, old Mrs. Horton said, “If you don’t come home with me, I’ll just continue stay in the hospital.”

Old Mrs. Horton’s illness had long vanished. She had been pretending to be sick just to make Lewis and Keira stay by her side and spend more time together.

Lewis also said, “Miss Olsen, these reporters can be pretty persistent. Only the Horton family can ensure

17:52

your safety. Please come stay with us for the time

being.”

Keira said, “Okay.”

“Fantastic, my dear granddaughter-in-law, let’s go

home!”

The car quickly entered House One Manor, winding along the driveway for ten minutes before entering the Horton residence

Despite not being her first visit, Keira still marveled at

the size of the manor.

No wonder Isla was so keen to marry Jake and become

the hostess here.

She was lost in her thoughts when their car pulled

over.

Keira and Lewis helped old Mrs. Horton out of the and into the living room.

As they entered, they saw Isla trying to appease Jake. “Jake, don’t be mad at me. I’ve already apologized to the Allen family. They won’t blame me anymore.”

Jake’s expression was foul. He initially tried to ignore her, but upon hearing the approaching footsteps and

seein

Keira entering alongside Lewis, he stood up in surprise. “Keira, what are you doing in my house?!”

Before he could continue, old Mrs. Horton snapped. “I invited my granddaughter-in-law here! Got a problem with that?”

Jake was taken aback, “Granddaughter-in-law?”

Isla quickly said, “Jake, it seems like Great-grandma has mistaken Keira for Mr. Horton’s wife…”

Jake immediately glanced at Keira and Lewis, his brows furrowed.

Lewis suddenly emphasized each word. “Miss Olsen is our guest. She’ll be staying with the Hortons for a

while.”

At the sound of these words, Isla clenched her fist even tighter, her eyes glowing with jealousy.

She voiced her disagreement. “Is this a good idea? Keira being labeled as a killer might bring trouble to the Horton family. If a reporter catches wind of her staying here, people might think we’re harboring her. This might even affect the Horton’s stock…”

Before she could say anything else, Lewis cut in with a

12:42

217

cold voice, “The matters of the Horton family are none of your concern.”

Isla felt insulted and bit her lip in frustration.

Suddenly, Jake grabbed her hand. “Uncle Lewis, Isla is just concerned for the Horton family. After all, she’s my fiancée.”

A wave of happiness washed over Isla!

Despite her efforts to make up for her mistakes recently, Jake had been ignoring her. But now that he suddenly supported her, she realized he was using her to target Keira.

Isla was never one to be blinded by love. She knew what she had to do. Jake wouldn’t let her go because he still found her useful.

Now, what she needed to do was to stay here an

With this in mind, she gave Jake a nod and was abo to speak when her phone suddenly rang.
