My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Lewis frowned.

Keira glanced at him and nodded slightly.

She had already called her father, Uncle Olsen, and the Freeman Sect's leader. Both had responded promptly, showing just how fast things could move.

Now, the only person left was Lewis.

Keira moved closer, ready to explain her reasons, but Lewis spoke first. "If something happens to you, some people will take advantage of it, and others will distance themselves to avoid getting caught in the mess. But someone has to stand up for you. Since my reputation as a love-struck fool is already out there, I might as well embrace it."

Keira was at a loss for words.

Lewis was right. She couldn't overcompensate just to appease outsiders, or it would seem insincere.

If the three families released statements severing ties, it would look like a show…

Clearing her throat, Keira said softly, "Then I'm sorry for the trouble."

"Serving my wife is no trouble at all." Lewis replied with a soft laugh.

Their exchange caught Oliver's attention, and he sneered. "Dad, did you see that? My little brother is completely enchanted by this woman! He's disregarding the reputation of the Horton Group!"

Nathan's face tightened. "Lewis, if you don't cut ties with her, get out of this house!"

Lewis was about to stand up and declare his loyalty to Keira when a sharp "slap" interrupted him. He turned to see old Mrs. Horton standing up in anger, glaring at Nathan and Oliver.

Unaware of the full context, old Mrs. Horton was visibly furious. Her chest heaved as she pointed at Nathan and Oliver, shouting, "Both of you, be quiet!"

She took a shaky step forward with her cane, directly pointing at Nathan. "Is this how I raised you? If everyone bails when disaster strikes, who can we trust in this family?"
