My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Before they could get close, cries of alarm were already audible.”

Lewis's frown deepened even further, and he pressed

harder on the accelerator.

With a drift and a sharp turn, the car screeched to a halt in front of old Mrs. Horton's courtyard gates.

Lewis anxiously pushed open the car door, expecting to see a woman trembling in humiliation over being

mistreated, but as soon as he stepped out, he was stunned by the scene before him.

Keira stood there tall and upright, her gaze sharp. Sh exuded an aura of authority, with a group of securit guards

sprawled around her on the ground.

The housemaids stood trembling at a distance.

Jake was also stunned, clearly not expecting Keira to be so capable in combat.

His shocked gaze fell upon Keira, who at that moment seemed so pure and untouchable. She elevated above all,

making him realize for the first tthat the

reason he couldn't catch up with her in university wasn’t that she didn’t like him, but rather... he might not be

good enough for her.

His jaw tightened.

The Keira he knew was a loner, preferring solitude in school, yet obedient and clever, diligently completing any

homework or cleaning tasks set by teachers and fellow students.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt as though he had never really known her.

She stood aloof from the world, looking down with an air of superiority.

He suddenly understood that in university, she wasn't really afraid of teachers or classmates, she j it beneath

her to bicker with them.

Like a lone wolf that had strayed into a pack

huskies.

She tried hard to blend in with the crowd, maki

Isla hadn't expected this situation either.

At the Olsen's, Keira was just a scapegoat who could

fight back. When had her fighting skills becso formidable? She took down over a dozen security guards with

ease!

When she looked at Jake, did she see admiration in his

eyes?

This made Isla bite her lip hard; she cried out, “Keira, how dare you raise your hand in the Horton residence? Call

the police! We must call the police!”

These words snapped Melissa back to her senses. Frightened, she took a few steps back to distance herself from

Keira and then took out her phone to start dialing. “Fine, you dare to fight back against security. Let's see if you

have the guts to resist the police!”

Unfortunately, before the call could be made, her phone vanished from her hand.

It had been quickly snatched away by Keira, who charged over.

Keira wore a nonchalant smile. “Didn’t you just stop Fiona from calling Mr. Horton? What do you think? Will | let

you call the police?”

Melissa terrified stenned back again. She trinned and

tumbled to the ground.

Only then did she hear the sound of Lewis’s car and, turning her head to see Lewis, Melissa cried out as if seeing

a savior. “Lewis, cquick! This woman, she’s gone mad!!”

Keira tilted her head slightly, her icy gaze turning

toward Lewis.

The violent air around her hadn't subsided, and her

bloodthirstiness was still rising as if she would strike down anyone who dared stop her.

Lewis strode over and took her hand, frowning deeply as he examined her. “How could you resort to violence?”

These words caused Keira’s expression to darken.

Isla seized the opportunity to also cry out. “Yeah, Uncle, we were having a nice chat with Keira, but the she

suddenly started hitting people... She didn’t even worry about disturbing old Mrs. Horton, aggravating her

health...

On hearing this, Melissa immediately chimed in. “That's right, Lewis, you must take control! This is the first

residence. She doesn’t respect us at all! This woman is too barbaric! Can't she talk nicely? Where is the demure

and gentle manner of a lady in her?!”

Jake stared intently at Lewis holding Keira’s hand, his lips bitten tightly, his heart filled with reluctance.

Keira then said coldly, “Do you think | shouldn't have

taken action?”

“Of course.” Lewis frowned.

Keira’s expression darkened, and she was about to withdraw her hand when she heard his concerned voice.

“Look, you're bleeding. Have you forgotten you have anemia? Do you not know how precious your blood is to

you?”

Keira was speechless.

She was slightly stunned.

She had never expected that Lewis would say she shouldn't have taken action for this reason.

Her heart warmed slightly, and the chill on her body quietly dissipated...

Lewis, however, seemed not to notice the change in her demeanor and looked directly at the nanny next to

him, commanding. “Go to the yard and call the family doctor right now!”

Before long, the nanny cback with the family doctor.

The family doctor hurried over to Keira, his face full of concern. “Miss Olsen, where are you injured? Is it

serious?”

Keira fell silent, then shamefully raised her hand.

The family doctor saw the tiny cut that was already clotting, and his mouth twitched. “Am | too late? It's already

scabbed over.”

Keira didn’t know what to say.

Nor did Lewis.

The family doctor helplessly took siodine

But after meeting Lewis's almost cannibalistic ga silently took out a cartoon-patterned bandage and applied it to

her wound.

dumbfounded.

Melissa was the first to cto her senses, “Lewis,

you're really going too far! Are you determined to

protect her?! Do you have any idea how arrogant she was just now?!”

Only then did Lewis turn to her. “Miss Olsen has always influenced others with virtue. You must have pushed her

too far.”

“You...” Melissa was livid.

Isla stepped forward. “Uncle, she wouldn't leave Jake alone and has been trying to carry on with both you and

Jake. Mother and | thought it would affect your relationship, so we suggested driving her away.”

“Is that so? Messing around with him?” Lewis looke deeply at Jake. “I forgot to remind you all. For Grandmother's

safety, | just happened to install som cameras near the yard. Let's check the surveillance and see whether it was

Miss Olsen pestering Jake or the other way around.”

Jake was stunned. “That's not necessary. | just had sthings | wanted to make clear with her...”

Melissa immediately changed the subiect. “Lewis.

actually, my suggestion for her to move out of the

Horton family was for your sake. Your wife will be back in the country soon, right? When she comes hand

sees her, it'll be chaotic! Lewis, you can’t keep a woman like that!”

Isla added opportunistically, “And Uncle, you don’t know how arrogant she was when you weren’t here! She said

she is the hostess of this house, that she is your wife...”

Keira frowned.

She had never said that from the beginning, and with Lewis hearing it now, she hoped he wouldn't think she was

being presumptuous.

Just as she was about to explain something to she saw the man looking at her, a glint flickeri narrowed eyes, and

his lips slowly curling up.

At that moment, old Mrs. Horton crunning frantic. “Brat, tell these bad people whether your is actually your

wife or not!”
