My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

230 Truth Behind the Marriage

Keira suddenly turned her head, looking at Lewis in disbelief.

How did he know?!

Her astonished expression made Lewis's eyes darken slightly as he lowered his gaze. “It is indeed you.”

Keira was speechless.

She was actually tricked by this guy.

How unfair!

Keira sneered. “Since you know, I'll be straight with you. One portion of the medicine is here, and that’s

worth three percent of shares. Don’t forget to transfer

them!”

“Okay.”

Lewis's response was crisp and straightforward.

Keira was perplexed.

She looked at him in surprise. “Really? You're not even going to bargain?”

Lewis took a deep breath and said, “Keira, thank you.”

Keira felt a bit uncomfortable. “For what?”

Lewis said indifferently, “Nora’s research project on Alzheimer’s disease had been stalled and only

restarted this year. | think you must have done it for Grandma, right?”

He took Keira’s hand. “Keira, you're so good to me.”

Keira cleared her throat. “Don’t be so cheesy.”

She withdrew her hand. “Grandma has been so kind to

me, and | couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. Besides, | just wanted to find out the truth about our marriage

certificate.”

Lewis paused slightly upon hearing this.

He had originally intended to investigate it properly.

But so much thad passed since then without any traces of the past events, and he had almost forgotten

about it.

He asked, “Did Grandma remember?”

“Yeah, she remembered,” Keira raised an eyebrow. “Impressive medicine, huh?”

“Impressive.”

Lewis was amused by her demeanor, but then he suddenly worried about whether the truth might hurt their

relationship.

He hesitated for a moment before asking, “Is it still important to you what exactly happened when we got

married?”

Keira was startled, “Of course, it's important.”

Getting a marriage certificate required the presence of both parties and since both of them had normal

mentality, there was no question of someone standing

in for them.

What exactly happened back then? Could they have been schemed against...

Furthermore, considering Keira’s special identity,

could it be that Nora's identity had been discovered?

Did someone want to use the Horton Family to plot against her?

Her thoughtful look made Lewis's heart sink. “So... do you still want to divorce now?”

They still hadn't discussed the most important issue.

Even though Lewis had publicly acknowledged Keira’s identity, he had never made any grand vows of eternal

love.

Lewis was a bit nervous.

Keira also paused slightly when she heard this.

Indeed, she hadn’t thought about divorce for a long

time...

The matter of the company going public was

_constantly being pushed forward by Samuel. Once the

company went public, her role as the chairperson meant she couldn't easily divorce.

Keira coughed, then asked him back, “What about

you?”

Lewis didn’t know how to reply.

He could use Grandma to trap her for a month, but if

there were no real feelings between them, he couldn't trap her for a lifetime.

Especially with the layers upon layers of secrets she

held...

The fact that she was Nora was incredibly shocking.

Lewis said, “Of course, | don’t want to.”

“What?”

Keira didn’t hear him clearly.

Lewis was about to repeat himself when Keira’s phone

rang.

She picked it up and discovered that the handsuncle she’d added yesterday had sent her a message. “Kid,

the trick you toldto try yesterday doesn’t seem to work very well.”

Keira couldn't help but laugh. “What's wrong?”

The man wrote, “I sent the flowers, but she still ignored me. Should | send something else?”

After sthought, Keira then turned her head to Lewis and asked, “If you mademad, how would you

make it up to me?”

Lewis was perplexed

After contemplating, he said. “Beg for forgiveness? If you don’t forgive me, I'll just keep waiting outside your

door.”

Keira didn’t know what to say.

That would definitely not be appropriate for an elder.

She really couldn't rely on Lewis for an answer.

Keira continued to strategize for the man. “Why not try sending sjewelry?”

The man replied, “I'll give it a try.”

After putting down her phone, Keira turned her attention back to Lewis. “What were you saying just

now?”

Lewis was speechless.

He said indifferently, “Nothing important.”

Meanwhile, Fiona had finished checking Selena’s luggage, ultimately not allowing her to take anything.

In the end, Selena left with Oliver, cursing under he

breath.

After the two left the living room, Selena stopped in her tracks and turned to look back at old Mrs. Horton

courtyard.

The grievance and indignation on her face had vanished, replaced with a composed and cool. demeanor.

Oliver said, “Selena, the house in the main courtyard has been prepared for you. You can’t leave; you need to

helpthink of a way to snatch the position of head of the family!”

Selena nodded calmly.

She asked directly, “Dad, this Keira has quite a background.”

“Why do you say that?”

“The way Corey Mills was speaking to her was too polite. Something's off.”

Oliver immediately said, “She used to be the Olsen family’s illegitimate daughter who was just found to have

been switched at birth when she was little and

has just been reclaimed... Wait. The Clance Olsen family is treating her really well. That Corey Mills might be

someone that the Clance Olsen family found for her. Just yesterday, Uncle Olsen said he wanted to acknowledge

her as his goddaughter...”

As Oliver spoke, he began to worry. “With your marriage alliance with the Cobb family, the first branch of the

family would have the upper hand, but if she

connects with the Olsen family, we'll lose that

edge!”

Upon hearing this, Selena nodded. “I understand. Dad,

don’t worry. I'll figure out a way.”

Oliver breathed a sigh of relief.

His affection for this illegitimate daughter was certainly not born of a fondness for her mother.

After all, in a family like theirs, it was the sons who inherited the business.

It was simply because, from a young age, this daughter

had proven herself to be very smart; following her advice, Oliver always reaped benefits.

The reason he had been able to suppress Lewis into staying abroad until this year was thanks to this daughter's

suggestions.

It was only because she had gone to Clance for school and wasn’t around that Lewis had managed to catch him

off guard.

Now, the daughter had returned.

The real challenge was just beginning!

Mr. Horton and old Mrs. Horton seemed to have

endless things to talk about, chatting for a full hour before they parted at the urging of the people from the

second branch of the family.

Mr. Horton reluctantly retired to the guest room.

Finally, Keira and Lewis entered old Mrs. Horton's

bedroom.

After sending Fiona to the door to keep watch, Keira turned to old Mrs. Horton and asked, “Grandma, are you

tired? Should we talk tomorrow instead?”

Old Mrs. Horton knew what she was thinking and immediately grasped her hand. “I'm not tired, and if we don’t

talk now, I'm afraid I'll forget again by morning.”

Keira and Lewis sat by her bedside, listening as old Mrs. Horton slowly began to speak...
