My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

254 Mrs. Horton?

Vehicles bustled around them.”

When Keira turned her head to look over, Howard had already grabbed her arm, giving her a wary glance.

But Keira didn’t speak; instead, she calmly looked at

Tom.

Seeing her determined attitude, Howard tried to please Tom with a smile. “You must be Mr. Davis, right? Sorry,

we cfrom Clance to pay our respects, and

the child wanted milk, but we had no hot water... The child's mother here... she was looking to see if you had

any water in the house...”

Keira didn’t offer any further explanation, just quietly watching Tom.

To her surprise, Tom glanced at her only briefly before immediately saying, “The Horton family has plenty of hot

water. Shall | get someone to bring it over to you?”

Keira frowned slightly.

What did Tom mean by that?

He didn’t recognize her?

Keira was full of confusion and was about to say something, but then she closed her mouth.

At this moment, countless doubts surged up in her heart, making her exceedingly cautious!

Upon further thought, the truth of her marriage had been suddenly revealed, and out of the blue, she had gained

a twin sister.

And soon after Keera met her, they both faced a deadly

threat!

This indicated that the “they” Keera spoke of, who wanted to kill them, had been surveilling her all along.

Did Tom perceive something? Was that why he didn’t dare acknowledge her?

While she was lost in her thoughts, Howard, in fear, immediately gestured with his hands, his posture very

humble. “Please don’t bother. I'll just go with you to get

some!”

After saying that, he snatched the feeding bottle from Keira’s hand, about to have Keira wait in the car when a

honking sound cfrom within the line of cars.

Howard turned around to see that the cars up front

had moved, but theirs was still stationary.

And the cars they were blocking were all expensive luxury cars. How could Howard dare to delay?

Tom also frowned and asked. “Whose car is that?”

He immediately smiled at Tom in a placating manner. “Mine. It's mine. I'll go start it right now...”

Tom said impatiently, “Then let your wife cwithto get the water!”

On hearing this, Howard glanced at Keira.

He was somewhat worried as he said, “Why don’t | have my mother accompany her? She just got injured a

couple of days ago...”

Howard’s mother immediately cdown from the passenger seat, smiled at Tom in a fawning manner, and

then grabbed Keira’s arm. “Mr. Davis, let's go...”

why Tom didn’t recognize her, Howard's mother sneered. “What were you just doing? You were trying to cozy up

to Mr. Davis, and not even looking at the time! Didn't Howard tell you on the way here? | heard Mr. Davis and

Mrs. Horton are very close, friends even. He's in pain right now, so why are you shamelessly butting in?”

After speaking, Howard's mother released her arm and scoffed. “Howard said you pretend to be aloof and dislike

socializing, but it seems you're not averse to mingling. You just haven't seen a real affluent family before, have

you? When you finally do, you still fawn over them.

“You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Have you seen what you look like right now? You still have

the nerve to approach people! At least wash your face clean, won't you? Aren’t you embarrassed?”

Disdainfully curling her lip, Howard's mother returned to the car with Keira.

On the contrary, Keira was slightly taken aback when she heard this.

“Wash my face?”

254 Mrs. Horton?

Subconsciously, she pulled out her cell phone, using the black screen as a mirror to take a quick look, and then

froze on the spot.

No wonder Tom didn’t recognize her. Her face was

entirely purple, obviously coated with a thick layer of gentian violet, making her face nearly

unrecognizable...

Only then did she remember, when she had escaped from the underwater boat, floating debris had struck her

body, and there were scuts on her face, so the solution was applied for disinfection.

Keira was dumbfounded.

Had she been overthinking things all this while, pondering so much, only for it to cto this?

After getting in the car, she first mixed sformula

milk for Amy and handed it to her, then using the phone, wiped the solution off her face.

The purple solution must have been applied by a nurse in the hospital two days ago

Having been comatose for the past two days with no one to clean her face, it took her a long while to wipe off,

leaving straces, but she could at least make out her original appearance somewhat.

As she was doing this, Howard had already driven into the Horton estate.

Security was directing them to park their car in the parking lot, and following Howard, Keira walked toward the

main house where the funeral hall was set

asked his mother to stay with her in the car without coming down. He and Keira approached the

accountant’s desk.

Handling the ledger for the Horton family was the

household's butler.

The butler’'s eyes were also slightly red as he buried his head in the accounting, and Keira and Howard quickly

queued up in front of him.

Howard was a bit nervous and coughed before saying to Keira, “Keera, you've never seen this kind of thing

before, right? Don’t be nervous. Just say you're a classmate of Mrs. Horton’s when it’s our turn...”

He whispered instructions, and finally, it was their

turn.

The butler asked, “May | know who you are?”

When the butler heard the name, he was slightly stunned and subconsciously looked up. Seeing Keira, the butler
