My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

191 Father-in-Law

“No.”

Lewis abruptly grabbed her hand. “You don’t know Uncle Olsen. He’s domineering in his actions and won’t give you a chance to explain. If I’m not mistaken, as soon as you and Ellis go downstairs, he’ll cripple one of your legs!”

Keira’s pupils constricted.

She looked at Ellis, only to see the man digging in his ear. “My third uncle said an arm and a leg would suffice as an apology,” he said.

Keira remained silent.

Was it really like that?

She frowned, about to say something more, when Lewis stepped forward. “Let’s each take a step back. I’ll go down with you, and we can talk to Uncle Olsen.”

Ellis pulled the finger he had been using to clean his ear, blew on it as though to remove something nonexistent, and chuckled. “I don’t mind you going down to chat with my third uncle, but how is this each

taking a step back?”

He looked at Lewis. “I’ll have the bodyguards guard all the exits here, to avoid you pulling a fast one and having her escape while we’re distracted.”

After the two sides reached an agreement, Lewis looked at Keira. “Just stay on this floor, and don’t go anywhere else.”

“Okay.”

Only then did Lewis go downstairs with Ellis.

Their respective bodyguards remained upstairs, one group guarding Keira while the Olsen family guards watched them, to prevent Keira from escaping.

Keira didn’t want to stay in Isla’s room, so she walked out, intending to return to Mrs. Olsen’s room.

But before she could leave the room, she heard Isla say, “Keira, you used to do whatever you wanted because of Uncle Lewis, but this time, I’ve got the Clance Olsen family backing me up! Don’t think I’m afraid of you! As long as you apologize and admit your mistake, I might consider letting you off.”

Keira laughed at the remark. “Really? The Horton

family and the Olsen family are equals; do you think even with the support of the Olsen family, the Horton family would want a woman who’s pregnant with another man’s child? Here, have a saying for you. ‘One who has brought it upon themselves cannot live.””

Isla was speechless!

Jake then barked angrily. “Keira, even at a time like this, you’re still attacking Isla! She’s the Olsen’s daughter, do you think she’ll be treated the same as you, an illegitimate daughter? You married Uncle Lewis, yet you’re still pestering me!”

Keira couldn’t be bothered to explain the matter, simply lowering her gaze and saying, “There’s no point in these senseless words now; everything will be clear

in three hours.”

Leaving behind these words, she turned and left the room, going back to Mrs. Olsen’s.

The Olsen family’s guards were on high alert as soon as they saw her leave the room. Once they saw her enter Mrs. Olsen’s room, they relaxed.

In the room, several members of the Horton family looked at Isla.

10:20 –

Melissa narrowed her eyes and immediately asked, “Isla, tell me, is this child really Jake’s?”

Isla’s eyes flickered, and she blurted out, “Mom, how can you say that? Of course, it’s Jake’s baby! The family head of the Olsen family is sitting downstairs right now. You don’t have to be afraid. He will stand up for

me.”

Melissa scoffed. “Are you threatening me?”

Immediately, Isla waved her hands. “Not at all, how could I! Mom, I only mean to say we don’t have to be afraid of Uncle Lewis…”

“You’d better be right!” Melissa glared at her fiercely. “Just let me tell you. There’s one thing Keira was absolutely right about: even if the Clance Olsen family is backing you up, if this child isn’t Jake’s, the Horton family won’t be able to shelter you!”

Isla immediately clenched her fists. “I understand,

Mom.”

Jake couldn’t help but interject, “Mom, why are you bringing this up at all? Surely you’re not swayed by Uncle Lewis and Keira’s words? How could the child in

Isla’s belly not be mine?”

10:20

Melissa said, “She did, after all, get pregnant before marriage.”

“That’s not a problem! What era are we living in now… Besides, the DNA test results will be out in three hours, then we’ll know, won’t we?”

Jake said casually.

He didn’t realize that this comment made Isla immediately clench the sheets tight.

She had thought that after the miscarriage, there would be no chance for amniotic fluid testing, but to her surprise, Keira and Lewis had managed to have the doctors collect the embryo from the miscarriage, effectively cutting off her way out!

Isla was infuriated to death.

Unable to sit still and wait for doom, she took out her

phone.

Downstairs.

After Uncle Olsen’s car door opened, Lewis got in.

Uncle Olsen opened his eyes and glanced at him, then

coldly said, “What? Are you here to plead for that

teru

Lewis responded indifferently, “She hasn’t done anything wrong. The child isn’t Jake’s. Isla had an intentional miscarriage and framed her.”

Uncle Olsen raised an eyebrow, his body still radiating an icy chill, “Then why would Isla have a miscarriage and frame her? Even if she did nothing, her very birth is her fault.”

Lewis frowned. “I’ve told you before, Mrs. Olsen has never minded her existence.”

“Jodie’s health has been deteriorating year by year. She must have a burden, and if not Keira, who else could it be? Lewis, we’re not fools. Do you think that any married woman would truly not mind an illegitimate daughter?”

Lewis clenched his jaw.

No.

Even though Mrs. Olsen treasured Keira so much, she must have minded at some point.

Otherwise, Keira wouldn’t have left the Olsen family so

10:20

6:10

191 Father-in-Law

early, and her attitude towards Mrs. Olsen would not be a mix of love, fear, and avoidance…

As for the Horton family, Oliyer had a mistress and an illegitimate daughter outside, and Melissa had made countless scenes at home because of this.

The reason Jake hated the illegitimate daughter was also because of this.

Uncle Olsen’s statement left no room for rebuttal.

Lewis slowly said, “The overseas project we’ve been working on recently, I can let you have it.”

“There’s no need,”

Uncle Olsen coldly refused. “Neither you nor I can be bought with money, so why say such things?”

Lewis was just testing.

But this test made Lewis feel even more troubled.

Uncle Olsen had coveted that overseas project for a long time, proposing many deals to exchange for it, but now for the sake of the Olsen family, even that

wasn’t viable.

He tensed his jaw. “No matter what, I won’t let you

10:20

710

191 Father-in-Law

bully Keira. Birth is not a choice, and she’s never done anything wrong”

“I’ve said, her birth means she owes the Olsen family.”

Uncle Olsen looked at Lewis. “But I’m not opposed to letting her go, provided you agree to one condition.”

“What is it?”

“Divorce her, and marry my niece.”

After Uncle Olsen finished speaking, he stared coldly at Lewis. “I’ve always been interested in you as a son-in-law; it’s a pity I don’t have a daughter, otherwise, I would have forced a marriage upon you even if it meant tying you up. Lewis, this is my compromise. If you don’t agree, then we can only break one of her arms or legs.”

Lewis immediately became furious. “You wouldn’t

dare!”

“We could always try,”

Uncle Olsen said lightly.

Lewis quickly clenched his fists.

He and Uncle Olsen were evenly matched, neither

10:20

superior nor inferior.

If the two forces really clashed, the outcome would be nothing more than a pyrrhic victory.

But he couldn’t back down.

As the two became locked in a standoff, Ellis,

chuckling, interrupted, “Uncle, don’t be so serious! Oh right, Lewis, didn’t you have a photo you wanted to ask Uncle about? Let’s take it out and have a look.”

Ellis wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He knew that both men weren’t afraid of making a scene, but this was a hospital; if a fight truly broke out, wouldn’t they level the place?

So, he had to interrupt with a lighthearted interjection.

Lewis and Uncle Olsen turned to look at Ellis who had abruptly interrupted them.

Then, both men opened their mouths at the same time and blurted out the same thing.

“Get lost!”

“Get lost!”

Ellis was speechless.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, unable to help himself. “The understanding between you two makes one think you’re family. Uncle, I know you’re fond of Lewis and want him to marry a girl from our family, and I also want him to marry my cousin. It allows me to show off being the older cousin in front of him! Keep it up!”

Having said that, Ellis reluctantly took a step back.

But his interjection had indeed diffused the formerly tense atmosphere.

Lewis looked at Uncle Olsen again. “I’m flattered.”

10:21

Uncle Olsen scoffed coldly. “Don’t think that by saying

that I’ll let that illegitimate daughter off the hook. I’m here this time to clear all obstacles for Jodie!”

Lewis sighed. “I can understand that you want to protect Mrs. Olsen, but Keira is my wife, and it’s my responsibility to protect her. Uncle, I’m afraid I’m going to offend you this time.”

Uncle Olsen squinted his eyes, emitting an aura of risking it all. “Then let’s try.”

The situation downstairs was tense.

Upstairs in the hospital ward, Keira was also secretly worried about Lewis. She stood by the window, looking down at the situation in the parking lot.

Suddenly, a flurry of footsteps rang out, and Keira turned to see Poppy rushing into the ward.

Her gaze landed first on Taylor; her pupils shrank slightly at his appearance, clearly pained. She approached him. “Taylor, you…”

“Get out.”

Taylor didn’t have the strength to speak loudly, but his short reply was powerful enough to leave Poppy

speechless.

She awkwardly stepped back, then turned her fierce gaze toward Keira, storming over to her and raising her hand to strike her. “You bitch, I heard you caused Isla’s miscarriage? The Olsen family raised you, and Isla is your master. How dare you treat her like this? I’ll beat you to death!”

But before her hand could land on Keira’s face, Keira grabbed her wrist and pushed her away forcefully.

Keira looked at her coldly. “Don’t try to control me with that old routine again. I’m grown up now, Poppy, we have no relation anymore!”

“No relation?”

Poppy snorted with disdain. “I’m your mother. How could there be no relation between us? Keira, the blood in your veins is mine. If you want to sever ties with me, you’d have to bleed out completely! You can’t do it; you can’t pay it back! You must follow my words! You go now, immediately, this instant, and apologize to Isla. Beg for her forgiveness on your knees! And if she doesn’t forgive you, you’ll have to remove your uterus as recompense!”

10:21

3/8

192 Get Lost

Keira’s eyes widened in shock.

She started to doubt whether she had heard the

woman correctly.

Although she had always known Poppy disliked and

despised her, she never imagined Poppy could say such cruel words!

Remove her uterus? Just to earn Isla’s forgiveness?

She couldn’t help but laugh.

That laughter was bitter but tinged with a sense of

release.

Yes, her mother had never loved her.

Seeing no response from her, Poppy said, “Did you hear me? I told you to remove your uterus. I’ll book the surgery for you right now. You caused Isla to lose a child, so I’ll make sure you can never have children as punishment!”

She grabbed Keira’s arm, trying to pull her out.

But Keira just stood there, and she couldn’t get out the door.

Poppy turned around and glared at her. “Keira! Do you

16.21

<

192 Get Lost

dare to disobey me? Get down on your knees!”

“Get down…”

These two words were the ones that Keira had heard the most from her childhood. Every time Poppy got angry, the first thing she would say was these two words.

And then she would take out the homemade whip and lash out mercilessly at her!

Keira’s gaze turned even colder, and she replied, “Poppy, I won’t listen to you anymore.”

“What did you call me? You unfilial daughter,

ungrateful wretch! I gave birth to you; is this how you repay me? Keira, do you believe I’ll call the police right now, claiming you refuse to provide for me in my old age? I will take you to court and have you jailed!”

Poppy was jumping madly, her voice spreading from the hospital room…

In Isla’s hospital room.

They could vaguely hear something, and Isla

immediately threw off the blankets and got out of bed. “What’s going on with my mom? I’ll check on her…”

10.21

192 Get Lost

Jake immediately supported her arm, “I’ll go with you.” But Isla paused slightly in her steps. “Okay.”

They quickly arrived at Mrs. Olsen’s hospital room, and as soon as they entered, they heard Poppy’s shrieking. “You bastard! You’re an illegitimate daughter! How dare you treat Miss Isla like this? You’re utterly

heartless!”

Isla immediately said, “Aunt Hill? What are you doing

here?”

Upon hearing this, Poppy immediately turned her head to look at them, then “bang”, she knelt down in front of Isla, “Miss Isla, it’s all Keira’s fault. I apologize on her behalf! She must be jealous of you and young Mr. Horton, that’s why she did such a thing. Test assured, I’ll make her give you an explanation!”

Isla’s eyes flickered, “Aunt Hill, don’t say that… After all, she is also Dad’s daughter and my sister… Let it be. I won’t pursue this matter anymore. Let’s leave it at

that!”

Jake immediately said, “Isla, no, I don’t agree. This matter must be explained by her!”

Tala sighed “Take my mom in otill unconscious and aha

also liked Keira a lot. I don’t want to make her wake up to this and be in pain again…

Jake was stunned.

Hearing this, Poppy immediately looked at Keira. “Did you hear that? Aren’t you going to thank Miss Isla? She’s so magnanimous and is able to let go of such a thing… Kneel and bow to her right now!”

Keira didn’t move but scoffed. “Nice acting.”

Jake instantly became furious. “Keira, enough is enough! Isla has been yielding time and again only to be pushed further by you! I knew it, ungrateful wretches like you can never be satisfied. Your appetite grows larger and larger, and you’re utterly shameless! I tell you, even if Isla no longer pursues it, I’ll pursue it to the end with you! You’ve killed my child, and I’ll never let this go!”

“Your child?” Keira scoffed, “Wait until the test results come back, then we’ll see if it’s your child or not!”

Jake sneered. “At this point, you still have the nerve to talk back!”

While they were talking, Tom had already obtained the DNA test results and rushed in briskly. “Miss Olsen.

Upon hearing this, Keira looked up.

Why was it expedited?!

Isla’s eyes betrayed a trace of panic as her gaze was firmly locked onto that report.

Tom then walked in and handed the report to Keira.

Keira glanced at it, and sure enough, it didn’t match.

She looked at Jake with a smile that wasn’t quite a

smile.

Jake sneered. “Now that the report is out, let’s show it to everyone and see what’s going on!”

Right as Keira was about to hand the report over to Jake, a hand suddenly reached out and snatched the

report away.

Poppy glanced at the report, and her pupils

immediately contracted. She stared at Isla in disbelief.

Isla’s eyes flickered guiltily. “Aunt Hill, why are you looking at me? Show us the report now…It can prove my innocence!”

Jake also said, “Exactly, bring it over to prove Isla’s innocence, so Uncle Lewis and Keira stop framing her!”

But as Jake came over to take the report, Poppy

suddenly crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into her

mouth.

Everyone was dumbfounded

Jake was shocked. “What are you doing?”

Isla also asked anxiously, “Aunt Hill, what are you doing? Spit out the report…”

But the more they said, the more resolute Poppy became, swallowing it forcefully. “This report is fake. I can’t show it to you! Otherwise, if you leave evidence behind, what if you sue Keira?”

Jake was furious. “You…!”

The corners of Isla’s lips curled slightly.

She had brought Poppy here just for this moment.

Unfortunately, her smug expression didn’t last long on her face before she heard Keira’s clear, cold voice. “It’s just a report, isn’t it? If it’s eaten, just print another.

Tom smiled, “Alright, I’ll go print another one now…”

With that, he left the room.

Poppy glared viciously at Keira, then suddenly turned to Jake. “Young Mr. Horton, could you please leave first? I’ll try to persuade Keira to confess…”

Jake sneered. “She killed my child. Why should I give her that chance?!”

Poppy was a bit at a loss for a reply.

Then Isla said, “Jake, for the sake of us having been classmates, I’m willing to give Keira a chance…”

Classmates for four years…

Jake pursed his lips, thinking of the four years when he pursued Keira with simple and pure intent.

He looked at Keira again, suddenly feeling a bit soft-hearted. “Fine, Keira, I’ll give you this one chance. If you admit your wrong deeds and accept the punishment, I’ll let it drop. Otherwise, I definitely won’t let you off!”

Having said that, he turned to leave.

Isla said, “I’ll stay behind to persuade her too…”

“Fine.”
