My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

201 The Outcome

Lewis didn’t stop Uncle Olsen this time.

After all, he too was quite angry.

In the time he had spent with Keira, he had come to understand her well.

On the surface, she seemed indifferent to being an “illegitimate daughter,” but because of Mrs. Olsen, she felt some self-loathing.

Keira had a soft interior but a tough exterior and could calmly deal with anything that came her way.

But on this issue alone, she didn’t know how much it

had hurt her.

Now that she knew Mrs. Olsen was her mother, who knew how happy she would be?!

As for Isla and Poppy…

A murderous intent flashed in Lewis’s eyes, and even if Uncle Olsen hadn’t said so, he wouldn’t let those two

off the hook!!

The two of them thought this and walked side by side

into the corridor from the staircase.

They saw Keira with her back to them, staring at Isla in

front of her.

After Holly finished speaking, Poppy couldn’t believe what she was hearing and looked at Isla, her lips trembling as she asked, “Isla, you, you’ve known all along?”

Isla bit her lip and didn’t respond.

Holly sneered. “We investigated Finley’s bank records, and she’s known since elementary school! She was always threatened by Finley, and all her monthly allowance went to him.”

Poppy’s eyes widened in shock as she looked at Isla, feeling like a clown!

For all these years, she had pampered Isla, coddled Isla, always trying to please her even when the two were alone.

Isla always showed contempt for her, and sometimes even had hatred in her eyes, and Poppy comforted herself by thinking Isla never knew the truth, so it

270

201 The Outcome

wasn’t her fault.

But if Isla had known all along that she was her birth mother, why did she still treat her as if she was disposable?

Especially when they were alone, how many times she had wanted to get close to her daughter, but Isla was always full of malice, treating her like a nanny!

Suddenly, Poppy felt like a joke!

She had done so much, all for Isla, but what had her daughter done?

It was bad enough that she never had any respect or closeness for her, but now Holly had accused her of

seducing Connor and enticing him to kill Finley?!

That was her own uncle!

Poppy could control herself no longer and leaped to her feet, rushing over to Isla. “Isla, tell me. Is what she said true?”

Isla pursed her lips tightly.

She was panicked and on the verge of collapse.

Why had it come to this…

3/9

<

201 The Outcome

Why had things turned out this way?

It should have been her who turned the tables, so why was everything suddenly changing?

Isla’s arm was gripped by Poppy, which she found utterly repugnant.

Annoyed, she pushed Poppy away. “What does it matter? Are you planning to hold it against me?”

Poppy was stunned by her response. “I might not hold it against you, but what about your uncle? How could

you…”

Isla persisted in feigning ignorance. “Don’t talk

nonsense. I’ve never killed anyone. Finley’s death has nothing to do with me!”

Holly immediately said, “Isla, Connor has already revealed the truth, and you still won’t admit it?”

Isla sneered. “That’s just Connor’s statement. Does he have any evidence to accuse me?”

When Isla was seducing Connor to commit murder, she had never said anything like that; she had always been playing the victim.

She was very cautious indeed leaving no trace behind.

11:45

201 The Outcome

Holly frowned, having wanted to trick her, but unexpectedly, Isla wasn’t fooled at all.

Isla’s schemes ran deep.

Seeing Holly’s silence, Isla felt a veiled sense of triumph. She sneered. “Holly, if you have evidence, then come arrest me, but if you don’t, I advise you not to spout nonsense here! Otherwise, I’ll definitely file a complaint against you!”

Holly clenched her jaw tightly.

Isla began to feel smug, but in the next moment…

“Ungrateful creature! You ungrateful creature!”

Poppy couldn’t believe that her own daughter could be such a cold-blooded and ruthless person!

Finley was her only brother and the only male in the Hill family!

Connor was Finley’s only son, and Poppy had always

doted on Connor.

But now, of the two men in the Hill family, one had been killed, and the other landed in jail!

Overwhelmed, Poppy couldn’t accept it and rushed at

201 The Outcome

Isla, delivering a fierce slap across her face!

“Slap!”

Isla covered her face in disbelief, then glared at Poppy,

shouting, “You dare to slap me? What right do you have to slap me?”

“Because I’m your mother!”

Isla sneered. “Mother? How can a mistress like you be my mother?”

Her emotions intensified. “Do you have any idea how panicked and desperate I felt when I suddenly found out I was the illegitimate daughter, not the rightful heiress of the Olsen family? Do you know how carefully I’ve tiptoed these years, living in constant fear that my parents would find out? I endured such hardship! It’s all because of you. I would have preferred to grow up in an ordinary family than to live with thi disgrace!”

She screamed while clutching her abdomen, her facial expression twisting into something hideous and terrifying.

She then turned to the surrounding reporters. “I was forced into today’s situation by them! I’ve done

201 The Outcome

nothing wrong!”

Noticing that she still refused to admit fault even at this moment, Uncle Olsen sneered and proceeded to chamber a round into his gun, ready to push through the crowd and move forward.

Despite the presence of so many reporters, he didn’t

care one bit.

Lewis, seeing his actions, realized that Uncle Olsen had only threatened him with the gun earlier and had no real intent to shoot.

He shook his head in resignation and followed behind

him.

If Uncle Olsen really killed Isla today, then he would take care of the aftermath.

But before they could move through the crowd, they suddenly heard Poppy’s scream. “Blood… Isla, what’s happened to you?”

Both men paused momentarily, then noticed that Isla pants were soaked with blood…

After being alerted by Poppy, Isla looked down and discovered she was bleeding profusely!!

<

201 The Outcome

She became frantic, her eyes widening in shock.

The more anxious she became, the more she felt the warm blood flowing uncontrollably…

Even if Poppy hated her, Isla was still her daughter, whom she had doted on from a young age, so she immediately cried out, “Doctor, doctor! Help!”

Isla, careful not to leave any evidence, hadn’t taken any abortion drugs. To induce a miscarriage, she had indeed slammed hard into a table and then crashed

heavily to the ground.

Under such violent impact, she should have rested, but instead, she had foolishly stood up to frame Keira.

Physically and mentally exhausted, plus the shock, she began to hemorrhage…

Luckily, she was in a hospital, and she was promptly taken into the emergency room by the nurses. If this had happened outside, she would have bled to death

within two minutes.

After Isla was taken away, more security personnel arrived to clear out the reporters, and the corridor quieted down.

For a moment, only Keira, Lewis, and Uncle Olsen

Keira watched coldly as Isla walked away, and after a moment’s thought, she followed her.

She had never been a saint, and certainly not worried about Isla. She just wanted to see how things would

end for her.

Seeing her heading toward the emergency room, Lewis immediately followed and, after taking a few steps, turned back to Uncle Olsen and asked, “Do you want

to come and see as well?”

Uncle Olsen’s gaze deepened, and he glanced a few times in the direction of the ward.

After pondering for a moment, he finally said, “No, I’ll wait here for you to come back.”

He had just messed up, troubling Mrs. Olsen’s real daughter for the sake of Isla, and owed her an apology.

Lewis nodded and, without further attention to him,

chased after Keira toward the ward.

Uncle Olsen glanced at Ellis.

<

202 Regret

Ellis immediately understood and made an “OK”

gesture with his hand. “Got it, I’ll follow. Don’t worry, I won’t let Mrs. Olsen’s real daughter be bullied!”

As Keira arrived in front of the emergency room, she saw a few journalists hiding in a corner waiting for the outcome and the follow-up, along with Poppy and Holly.

Just as she was wondering where the members of the Horton family were, she heard the sound of a slap coming from the staircase nearby.

A loud “smack” rang out distinctly.

Keira paused just a step, then took two steps back and through the glass window saw Oliver, Melissa, and Jake

there.

Nathan must have realized something was wrong an left immediately to avoid further embarrassment.

Oliver was beside himself with anger, not satisfied wit slapping Jake once, he raised his hand to hit him again but was stopped by Melissa. “Why are you hitting him? It was Isla’s fault!”

Oliver

sneered. “I said from the start, I didn’t agree to this marriage! Isla had a scheming mind, and you insisted on having Jake marry her. Look what’s happened now!”

Melissa wailed. “Yes, I disagreed at first too, but when Mrs. Olsen mentioned her connections in Clance, didn’t you agree as well? Without your consent, how could Jake have married her?!”

Oliver glared at her, “If I had known she was the illegitimate daughter, I would have never agreed! In the end, it’s you and Jake who can’t judge people’s

character!”

Melissa wiped her tears. “No one wanted this to happen. Isla’s intentions were so deep. Not to mention Jake and I, didn’t you fail to see through her too? Why do you only blame us when something goes wrong?”

Oliver scoffed. “Who else should I blame if not you? You’ve completely humiliated the first branch of the family! Before, when we learned Lewis’s wife was Keira, I was quite relieved, thinking that our branch had finally one-upped him! Jake, this useless son of mine, had finally done me a great favor. He married Miss Olsen while Lewis could only marry the Olsen

family’s illegitimate daughter, and who would have thought it would turn out like this!”

He patted his own face angrily. “You’ve lost all my face!”

Melissa immediately grasped his hand. “Oliver, don’t say that. Jake will surely help you turn things around. Don’t be angry…”

Π

Oliver, however, yanked his hand away and looked directly at Jake. “Him? A waste will always be a waste, and he has shown no progress through the years! He can’t even begin to compare to his sister!”

Leaving that remark behind, Oliver turned and went downstairs.

His heartless manner left Melissa covering her face as she started weeping, then began to slap Jake. “You finally had a chance to stand out, letting your dad come home and sleep tonight, and now, he certainly won’t come back! Jake, why are you so unlucky? You never able to satisfy him no matter what you do…”

Jake’s eyes were bloodshot, his head hanging low, like child who had done something wrong.

He stared blankly at Melissa

Melissa cried out, “You must work hard! You must surpass that illegitimate daughter! You can’t let your father look down on us! No, it seems like that

Melissa was so anxious that she was running in circles, making Jake’s eyes turn a deeper red.

He grabbed Melissa’s hand. “Mom, don’t be afraid… Even if she comes back, she won’t be able to stir up any trouble. She’s just a girl, and sooner or later, she’ll be married off. I’m my father’s only son!”

Upon hearing this, Melissa finally calmed down. “That’s right, that’s right. As long as we prepare a generous dowry for that illegitimate daughter and marry her off, you’ll still be your father’s only son… I’m going home now. I must secure my place and absolutely cannot that illegitimate daughter enter our home!”

After that, she tugged on Jake’s hand. “Let’s go, we’re going home!”

Jake took a few steps with her but then stopped, his gaze conflicted as he looked toward the emergency

Regardless of everything, Isla was still his wife…

“Jake? What are you doing? You haven’t given up on that wretched Isla, have you? Let me tell

Melissa barked angrily.

Jake lowered his gaze, “Mom, I just want to wait until her surgery is over…”

Isla was in critical condition, and he was her legal guardian.

After pondering for a moment, Melissa sneered. “Fine. Then you stay here. I’ll have someone send over the divorce agreement. If she survives and comes out of the operating room, you make her sign it. If she dies, it’ll all be for the best!”

Leaving behind such heartless words, Melissa strode

away.

Jake stood there alone, his fists clenched. He then opened the door in the hallway, and the moment the door opened, he saw Keira.

68

< 202 Regret

He was slightly taken aback, his mouth opening as if he wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words…

He hesitated for a long time before finally saying in a slow drawl, “I’m sorry, I…”

Before he could finish, Keira walked past him without a glance, heading straight for the door of the operating

room.

Jake stared dully at her from behind, and a surge of regret and frustration suddenly filled his chest, packing it tight.

He had given up on Keira because of her identity as an illegitimate daughter… There was even a moment when he felt he was close to catching up to her.

She was the one he should have cherished… But after learning she was an illegitimate daughter, he acted impulsively and committed so many mistakes!

Now, he felt a severe pain in his chest, so intense tha he couldn’t help but bend over.

He curled his lips, wanting to smile, but tears streame

down instead…

202 Regret

Lewis and Ellis walked past him, neither giving Jake a glance.

At that moment, Ellis was asking Lewis, “Hey, this illeg… I mean, your wife, her father is Taylor, isn’t it? How come she doesn’t look like him at all?”

203 Dad

Ellis always felt there was something strange between his third uncle and Mrs. Olsen.

1

His third uncle had always thought highly of Lewis and had specifically instructed him not to be his enemy, saying that after the family’s future was handed over, Lewis would need to take extra care of things.

It was as if Ellis wasn’t as good as Lewis… but that wasn’t the point.

The point was that this highly regarded Lewis almost had a fallout with his uncle over Mrs. Olsen.

So at first, Ellis speculated whether his uncle might be in love with Mrs. Olsen, or perhaps, Mrs. Olsen’s daughter could be his uncle’s daughter?

Lewis couldn’t be bothered with him.

Besides, this was Keira’s private matter, and it didn’t seem right to let everyone know that Mrs. Olsen had been unfaithful, so he didn’t say much.

Knowing his character, Ellis didn’t press him further but instead looked toward Keira, trying to find a trace

of his uncle in her…

Keira stared at the emergency room. Just as she approached, the door of the emergency room burst open, and a doctor rushed out. “Where’s the family of the patient? The patient’s bleeding just won’t stop. Now, only removing the uterus can save her life! Will the family members confirm and sign the consent?”

Poppy immediately stepped forward. “I’m her mother. I’ll sign!”

But the doctor looked at her, “You are the patient’s

mother?”

Poppy halted.

She currently wasn’t Isla’s mother on any legal

documentation!

While she hesitated, another doctor’s urging voice came from inside. “Have they signed it yet? We’re struggling to hold on here!”

In urgency, Poppy was about to speak when Jake had already walked over. “I’ll sign. I’m her husband.”

He took over the medical record and signed his name

on it.

203 Dad

Only then did the doctor rush back through the doors.

Poppy, grateful, grabbed his hand and wept. ” Mr. Horton, thank you. You and Isla are husband and wife after all. You have feelings for each other…”

However, Jake pulled his hand back, wiping it on his clothing. “This is the last thing I’ll do for her. I hope she’ll sign the divorce agreement after the surgery.”

Poppy immediately became anxious. “Mr. Horton, you can’t abandon Isla. Now that she’s had her uterus

removed, she’ll never be able to have children again. She’s only twenty-two, so young, her whole life is ruined, you…”

Jake took a step back, took another long look at the emergency room, then turned and strode away.

Poppy, weeping bitterly, knelt on the ground, covering her face. “My poor Isla, how could you end up like thi Without a uterus, what man will marry you now…”

Poppy cried out in despair.

When she had switched the two children years ago, it was to give her own Isla a better life, so how did it

come to this?

As Poppy thought of this, she abruptly raised her head. Seeing Keira, she immediately crawled over and pleaded. “Keira, ask Mr. Horton to order Jake not to get a divorce, please, for the sake of the fact that I raised you…”

Keira looked coldly at the woman in front of her.

As a child, Poppy was her nightmare.

Even after growing up, she would often dream of being back in her childhood, whipped by Poppy, feeling

helpless and in agony.

So, what was Poppy thinking?

Thinking she would plead for her and Isla?

Keira smirked slightly, bending down a bit. “Poppy, do you know what I want to tell you now?”

“What?”

Keira’s gaze suddenly turned icy, and she clenched he fists tightly, expressing bitterly. “If murder wasn’t illegal, I would have already taken action against you

and Isla by now!”

Poppy’s pupils constricted, and she collapsed to the

ground

A fierce and icy light flashed in her eyes, and suddenly she got up, pulling out a fruit knife from her pocket!

This fruit knife was taken from Mrs. Olsen’s ward just now, but at this moment, she had a mentality of mutual destruction and lunged at Keira’s chest with

the knife!

“You bitch, it’s all because of you, all because of you, that my Isla ended up like this. Why did you reveal the truth? I should have killed you when you were a child! Then Isla wouldn’t have ended up like this today! I’ll kill you for Isla’s revenge!!”

Unfortunately, the next moment…

“Bang!”

Before Keira could react, and before Poppy even got close to her, Holly had already grabbed her arm, ready to kick Poppy.

But it seemed her leg fell short.

Poppy had already been kicked away by another powerful force!

It was Lewis!

Frowning he immediately glanced at Keira sighing

Holly!

Why did she always try to steal his thunder?

Lewis gave Holly a glare.

On the other side, after Poppy was sent flying, she spat out a vicious mouthful of blood but quickly got up from the ground again, taking the knife to stab Keira

once more!

“What the heck? You witch, aren’t you done yet?”

Ellis rushed to Poppy’s side again.

He remembered his uncle’s command. Not only did Poppy bully Keira, but now she was blaming everything

on her?

He kicked Poppy’s knee hard.

With a “click,” Poppy’s knee dislocated, and she knelt on the ground with one knee.

“Ah!”

Poppy cried out in pain.

Ellis exclaimed again, “Gosh, man, you’re still holding a knife? That’s too dangerous!”
