My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Chapter 688

James was full of concern, carefully watching "Keera's" expression as he spoke, worried she might get upset.

But seeing her face remain completely expressionless, he awkwardly coughed before saying, "Cousin, if you really don't want to apologize, just let it slide. People forget things quickly, and in a few days, this will all blow over."

Keira waved her hand dismissively, not interested in responding, and turned to head back to the Horton residence.

But just as she turned, she noticed Marisa and Selena lurking nearby. They quickly ducked out of sight when they realized they'd been caught. Keira's brows knit in irritation. They had clearly been snooping.

Given the distance between her and Uncle Olsen and the Sect Leader earlier, it was doubtful those two had heard anything of substance. But seeing the suspicious way Selena was eyeing her, it was clear they were guessing something.

Suddenly, Keira turned toward James and raised her voice, "Do you also think I'm embarrassing the family? Do you expect me to apologize? Well, let me tell you—it's not happening!"

James blinked in confusion. "What? No, that's not what I meant. I was just—"

But before he could finish, Keira cut him off, "I might not come from some grand family like you all, so I don't understand the 'sacrifices' you make for family interests. What I do know is that Holly is my friend, and I'm going to stand by her!"

James was even more bewildered. "Cousin, what are you even talking about? I—"

"Enough! I'm not apologizing, not even if Dad and the Sect Leader show up and demand it! You've already cut ties with me, so why are you still trying to interfere?"

With that, Keira spun around and stormed into the house, slamming the iron gate shut behind her with a loud clang.

James stood there, stunned.
