My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

106 Parentage

Connor’s gaze was dark as he looked downstairs.

At this moment, he probably knew that everything was settled, and there were no more reasons to resist or

deny it, so he appeared much calmer than he did during the live broadcast.

He was handcuffed, standing there.

He turned around and then obediently sat at the interrogation table, his face showing a mix of anger and struggle.

His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Holly, “What you did is against the rules!”

Holly lowered the gaze. “We were in debt to Miss Olsen and Mr. Horton. They didn’t hold us

accountable, so helping her with this small favor is nothing. Even if the department punishes me, at most I’ll get a demerit. I’m not afraid.”

Connor angrily slapped the table. “You can’t do this to me; it’s too cruel!”

“Cruel?” Keira stepped forward, closing in on him. “Is it

more cruel than you murdering your own father with your own hands? Connor Hill, stop playing the

innocent here. You’ve seen Isla’s true color; you don’t need to keep her secret anymore.”

But Connor clutched at his head. “I don’t believe it! She couldn’t possibly have set me up! How could she! There’s no benefit to her in doing this! You people must be playing tricks!”

Keira slowly said, “No benefit? Who says so?”

She stood up straight and looked toward Lewis. “Mr. Horton, these past few days, Isla has been trying to reconcile with Jake, but it seems he hasn’t agreed to meet her, has he?”

Lewis went along. “The Horton family wouldn’t welcome a woman who steals others’ credit.”

Keira smiled. “What about now? After her successful report, the police station will award her a commendation for bravery.”

After finishing her statement, Keira winked at Lewis.

She stood gracefully, her cunning and seductive eyes giving others a sense of profound affection. Her gesture at that moment was more enchanting than

any other people, which was quite tempting.

Lewis swallowed, and his eyes darkened slightly.

He withdrew his gaze and played along. “The Horton family needs this kind of positive image. Didn’t you see? Jake’s attitude toward her has softened.”

Keira raised an eyebrow, expressing her thanks to him.

She then looked at Connor. “Hear that? She did all this to get that award, and then to knock on Horton family’s door.”

Connor’s eyes were about to split with fury. “Shut up!”

Keira slowly closed in. “So, you’re really okay with her stepping on you to climb up? You’d spend the rest of your life in prison, while she could marry into the Horton family and become the young madam…”

“I said, shut up!”

Connor suddenly stood up. Even wearing handcuffs, h lunged at Keira Olsen!

“Watch out!”

“Be careful!”

Holly and Lewis didn’t expect his sudden rage, and

12:44

they immediately cried out in warning, but in the next moment, they saw Keira raise her hand and seize Connor’s wrist, pressing it hard onto the table!

“Bang!”

The handcuffs and table collided, making a loud noise.

Connor tried to struggle again, but Keira casually pinned him down, and he couldn’t move an inch.

He bared his teeth in a smile. “Keira, you think by doing this, I’ll tell you that secret? Give it up! I won’t say anything!”

Keira paused slightly.

Holly had already stepped forward, quickly binding the handcuffs to the interrogation table’s chair, preventing

him from lashing out again.

Keira released her hold on him, her brow furrowed in inquiry. “You asked me to come here, saying you had something to say.”

“I don’t anymore.”

Connor looked at her and Holly. “I confess, but as the victim’s son, I have the right to write a letter of mercy for myself, right? That bastard drove me to a

120

desperate situation. That’s why I did it! I shouldn’t be sentenced to death, right?”

Keira frowned.

Something seemed off about Connor.

She gave Holly a meaningful glance, and the two of them stepped out of the interrogation room.

Keira asked first, “Will you really be disciplined

because of this?”

“No,” Holly said, her pretty face still tense, as she explained. “You didn’t hold us accountable, and you presented the evidence. Captain Lincoln and the others feel guilty about it. They’d be more than willing to help with this small favor. Besides, we have never failed to protect the privacy of those who report crimes. Isla isn’t the person who provided the

evidence, anyway.”

Keira then breathed a sigh of relief.

It was good that Holly hadn’t really been implicated.

She frowned. “Doesn’t Connor’s attitude seem a bit.

off?”

Upon hearing this, Holly said, “That’s exactly what I

was about to tell you. I just asked the colleagues who arrested him, and they said that at the time of his arrest, he was screaming about wanting to see you. But then suddenly, he calmed down and stopped shouting as if he had resigned himself to his fate.”

Keira frowned and suddenly asked, “Can I see his phone?”

“Sure.”

When Connor was arrested, all his personal belongings were confiscated.

The colleague who fetched Connor’s phone had also been involved in the arrest, and he explained, “It was after looking at his phone that Connor suddenly calmed down.”

Scratching his head, he added. “After we arrested him and asked him to hand over his phone, there was a message he saw. He tried to delete it, but we stopped

him.”

Keira turned on his phone, and quickly checked his call history and messages, but found nothing. Then she opened WhatsApp.

His WhatsAnn was blowing in. Classmates and

17:44

O

relatives were bombarding him with inquiries in group

chats.

Keira ignored them all and scrolled down.

She came across the last message he had opened, which was sent by Isla.

As Keira opened it, her pupils shrank slightly at the sight of the picture.

She whirled around and strode back into the interrogation room, positioning herself directly in front of Connor. “Are you not telling me because Isla is pregnant? Is it your child?”

The last message Isla sent to Connor was a pregnancy

test result!

The date of conception was clearly written on it.

Connor laughed. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand. Isla’s child is, of course, Mr. Horton’s, since she’s about to marry him and become his wife…”

According to the date, it was his child!

Although Connor despised Isla so much he wished she would die with him, it was different now that Isla was

carrying his child!

O

All his life, he could only live in his father’s shadow, looked down upon by others… Since childhood, he swore never to let his own child live this life!

Now, his child was about to become a Horton, destined for glory and riches from birth. So even if Isla betrayed him, what did it matter? As long as she could give birth

to his child…

Keira observed Connor’s expression, knowing he wouldn’t speak anymore.

But she wasn’t disappointed. Instead, she suddenly leaned forward, her whole demeanor becoming confrontational. “Connor, let me tell you a secret.”

“What?”

“Actually, we’ve been monitoring your phone. Every conversation you had with Isla, I heard it all.”

Connor froze.

But Keira smirked. “Did you think that if you didn’t tell me the secret, I wouldn’t be able to guess it? You said Isla stole my life, so, this secret is obviously related to my own identity!”

Connor’s pupils contracted sharply!

Keira knew then that she had guessed correctly!

She and Isla Olsen were both Taylor’s daughters, and the only possible issue concerning their identity was…

Keira’s eyes flashed with a bright light, and she felt as if her life had suddenly burst into splendid color.

Could it be as she had guessed?

Mrs. Olsen was her mother…

Only this reason could explain why Isla had been blackmailed by Finley for so many years, and also why Connor would say that Isla had stolen Keira’s life.

Keira felt a seed of hope deep within her suddenly take root and sprout rapidly.

“If you say it is, then it is.”

However, Connor spoke up, his eyes showing a hint of relaxation.

His sudden change of demeanor made Keira frown, unable to grasp his intentions for a moment.

Connor was like a rat in the dark. After killing Finley, he put on an act of unjust fear, deceiving both Captain Lincoln and Holly.

At this moment, his demeanor made Keira uncertain

of the truth.

But she wasn’t in a hurry. “Connor, I’ll find out after a DNA test. What use is there in hiding it so well?”

Keira stood up straight, narrowing her eyes. “You always said that your dad treated you badly and that you’re burdened by so much debt, which is why you killed him, but you’ve always known, haven’t you? Isla was forced by your dad to tutor you. Your dad had so much gambling debt, yet you always had money for school fees and living expenses, even if it was meager. Even in the end, your dad told you that secret, also wanting you to continue blackmailing Isla…

“So, it’s not that you had no choice. You’ve always been a bad person…”

Upon hearing this, Connor suddenly looked up, his gaze frighteningly fixed on her.

But Keira had already turned and left the interrogation room. She nodded to Holly, who then had people take

Connor to the detention center.

Keira asked, “What sentence will he receive?”

Holly said, “Death sentence with a suspension, usually. When the execution is suspended he won’t be

executed. He’ll most likely face life imprisonment in

the end.”

“As long as he doesn’t die.”

Keira said, “If I guessed wrong, that secret still has to be squeezed out of him in the end.”

Unable to help herself, Holly asked, “Isn’t he
