My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

112 Exposure
Josh was stubborn and felt that he must uncover the truth behind anything that
seemed unreasonable.»
That was the case with Keira before.
And now, it was the same with Isla.
Keira smiled, thinking it was for the best to let it all come out, lest Isla really
believed she was some kind of self-proclaimed hero.
No sooner had she put away her phone than she heard Isla’s falsely sympathetic
voice. “Auntie, it's not that
Keira is ignoring you, it's just her personality. Please don't take it to heart...”
Keira was perplexed.
She turned her head to find Melissa's face darkened, retorting upon hearing
those words. “Miss Olsen, didn’t your mother teach you to be polite when visiting
someone's home? It's disrespectful to ignore someone when they're speaking to
you.”
Opposite them, Lewis glanced over with a frown. He was about to speak when
that dazzling woman looked
up languidly and said, “What did you just say?”
Melissa simply sneered. “I said, Isla should sit next to Mrs. Horton. She has a lot
to tell her after all. You don’t mind, do you?”
At that, Keira just shook her head.
Melissa thought she meant she didn’t mind and was
about to say more when she heard Keira say, “Sorry, I
do mind.”
Melissa was taken aback, “You!”
Keira spread her hands. “I have no manners, right? So of course, I wouldn't know
what politeness is.”
Melissa found herself speechless, stunned by the response.
In a world where high society placed immense value on dignity and appearances,
why was Keira not playing by the rules?
Keira calmly corrected her crooked cutlery, which Melissa had pushed aside.
Isla then chimed in. “Auntie, please don't take offense
at Keira, it's my fault. Her mother’s background is special. She didn't teach Keira
well from the start, and as her sister, I failed to supervise her properly...”
Melissa scoffed. “What does it have to do with you? An illegitimate daughter
simply can’t be seen in public!”
At these words, Lewis abruptly turned to her, his deep eyes flashing a coldness.
“Is what you just said appropriate for the public? To malign a guest to their face,
is that the Knight family’s teaching?”
Melissa choked, then looked pitifully at Nathan, “Dad...”
The sixty-something-year-old Nathan slapped the table hard. “Lewis, who taught
you to talk to your
sister-in-law like that?”
Lewis's expression remained indifferent, and he said
nothing.
But Old Mrs. Horton, nearly eighty-five, smacked her hands on the table.
“Enough! Did you all come here to eat, or to pick fights? Keira is Lewis's wife,
and she’s the master of this household! You all will show her the respect she
deserves!”
Everybody was taken aback, looking at Keira in unison,
“Wife?”

Isla quickly explained, “Great-grandma mistook Keira for Mr. Horton's wife...”
And then, it dawned on everyone.
Melissa spoke in a sardonic tone. “I was wondering why you were suddenly so
nice to a stranger, but some people should have some self-awareness and know
exactly what their status is... Lewis, you just silently allow old Mrs. Horton to
mistake her identity. How are you going to explain it to your wife when she
returns to the country?”
Lewis glanced at Keira and said indifferently, “She won’t mind.”
Melissa wanted to say something more when old Mrs. Horton turned to her. “I
see you're clearly not her r the meal. Speak up. What's your real purpose for
coming here? Spit it out quickly and leave. Don’t ru the mood for me and my
granddaughter-in-law!”
Melissa immediately smiled sheepishly, looking towar
Oliver.
Oliver cleared his throat and said, “Grandma, here’s the thing. Isla is an excellent
graduate of Oceanion
University, and now she has made a great impact

online. You're unaware that the internet is full of praise for our family’s good
values, claiming that we pick our wives for their character, and Isla’s assistance
with the police case has spread far and wide. Shouldn't such an outstanding
great-granddaughter-in-law be rewarded somewhat?”
Old Mrs. Horton frowned. “You reward her, then!”
Oliver's mouth twitched, and he said nothing, once again looking at Melissa.
Melissa felt exasperated at how difficult it was to get her husband to speak, but
she had to resume the conversation. “Grandma, we have given her a reward, but
shouldn’t you also show some gesture?”
Old Mrs. Horton didn’t understand. “What kind of gesture should I show?”
“When Lewis married his wife, you gave her three percent of the shares. Now it's
Isla’s turn. Didn't you say last time that you wanted to give her two percent?
Old Mrs. Horton took a deep breath and glanced at Isla. “I'm not giving her any.”
Melissa was stunned, “Why not?”

Old Mrs. Horton said, “I don't like her.”
Isla suddenly bit her lip and bowed her head, a hint of hatred showing in her
eyes.
The old hag!
With a sense of being wronged, she pleaded. “Great-grandma, I know I made
mistakes before, but I've changed... How am I supposed to establish myself in
the Horton family after this?”
She bowed her head, wiping away tears.
Jake frowned. “Great-grandma, you...”
Before he could finish, Lewis's stern glance came sweeping over, scaring him
into shutting his mouth.
It was actually Melissa who spoke out recklessly, “Grandma, you can’t be so
partial! You've always favored Lewis since he was young, and we understood
because of his age, but what about now? The wives all married into the family
from the outside. With such favoritism, are you holding a grudge against our first
branch?”
After that, she started crying and turned to Nathan. “Dad, I didn’t get any shares
when I married Oliver.
