My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

114 Slap in the Face

Old Mrs. Horton frowned, her gaze flitting anxiously

toward Lewis.”

It was over. Nathan had caught her at a disadvantage. If Lewis didn’t agree, it
would be seen as suppressing his brother, and how could he then maintain his
position within the Horton Group?

Old Mrs. Horton immediately coughed, deciding to be

shameless!

After all, her illness was common knowledge, and it was better for her to act
shamelessly than for Lewis to

be criticized.

Old Mrs. Horton thought about it and was about to speak when Lewis's voice
suddenly rang out. “That's fine.”

Old Mrs. Horton was dumbfounded.

She was immediately stunned, looking incredulously at Lewis. “What?”

Lewis gave her a reassuring look before turning to Nathan. “I think you're right.
Since that’s the case, why

you first transfer the shares to... my wife.”

After announcing their marriage to the public, he would often mention “my wife”
at home.

Since it was only an excuse, he never felt anything

about it.

But today...

When he uttered these two words again, they

suddenly felt too hot on his tongue.

He glanced at Keira subconsciously and saw her eating a croissant with her head
lowered, seemingly paying no mind. He breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same
time, he felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

She seemed to be completely indifferent to this marriage, which made sense
since they had agreed divorce later on.

A shadow flickered in the depths of Lewis's eyes.

He didn’t see Keira’s movements pause slightly as she ate, her cheeks tinting
with a faint blush.

The words “my wife” were spoken so smoothly by

Lewis with his deep voice. It was like a small current of electricity, passing
through her veins.

It was rather sweet.

A smile she couldn't suppress spilled across her lips.

Nathan frowned. “That's fine, but the share transfer agreement isn't ready yet...
“It's ready.”

Lewis interrupted him, waving his hand dismissively, and Tom entered with a
smile, handing a contract to Nathan. “Mr. Horton, please sign here.”

Nathan was dumbfounded.

He frowned and looked down to find it was a transfer

agreement.

When the Horton family signed an agreement public it was said to be for the
daughter-in-law, but in rea the agreement still benefited a member of the Horto
family, so the share transfer agreement showed Nathan transferring two percent
of his shares to

Lewis.

He had no objections to that

He wouldn't feel comfortable giving them to an outsider.

He looked up at Lewis and sneered. “You're quite prepared, aren't you? How
come? You haven't fully taken control of the Horton family yet, and you're already
eyeing my shares?”

The accusation was quite unreasonable.

The croissant in Keira’s mouth suddenly didn’t taste as good. She looked at
Lewis, never expecting that this powerful man would also have a messy family
situation.

A biased father, a scheming older brother, plus a sister-in-law who could stir up
trouble...

Lewis was neither servile nor overbearing, his

demeanor remaining calm and composed. “Wasn't it you who first came to
Grandma today asking for shares? I can’t know in advance that you would give
me shares.”

Tom then explained with a beaming smile. “This share transfer agreement was
originally prepared for old Mrs. Horton. It listed two percent of shares, and now
we have simply changed the recipient's name...”

Nathan huffed, said nothing, and promptly signed the agreement that Tom
handed over.

He then said, “Since the transfer document is already here, let's just amend the
shares to five percent, and have my mother sign it as well.”

Tom smiled. “No problem. I'll go make the changes right now. It might take a few
minutes.”

Lewis said indifferently, “A few minutes? I suppose we can wait that long, can’t
we?”

Nathan kept silent.

But Melissa had to keep up the mood in the room, so she said with a smile, “We
can wait. Of course, we can wait... Come on, let's all sit down and eat. It's been
so long since I had breakfast at Grandma's. I've really

missed it!"

She also didn't argue with Keira over seating anymo and took a seat on the other
side of Nathan, allowing Isla to sit between her and Keira.

Tom took the share transfer agreement and went to the study.

The dining table seemed to have returned to a peaceful and calm state.
Melissa was very friendly toward Isla Olsen and even

served her food. “Isla, you are now the face of the Horton family. Have some
more.”

A smug expression flashed across Isla’s face.

She glanced at Jake but noticed that his gaze was flickering, always sweeping
over Keira from time to

time.

Isla’s expression darkened slightly.

She clenched her fists and lowered her gaze.

All of a sudden, she smiled slightly and turned her head toward Keira. “Keira, are
you getting used to living

here?”

Keira, who was enjoying her food, looked at her, puzzled.

Isla said, “Dad asked me to remind you that the Ho

estate is large, so when you're staying with the Hortons, remember not to wander
off, and don't disturb the other members of the family. He also said that if you've
had enough, go back to your own home. After all, your husband is waiting for you
at home!”

Upon finishing her speech, she suddenly realized something. “Keira, I just
remembered. Your husband

doesn’t have a house or a car now. Do you nowhere to live? Jake, I recall you
have an apartment

in the city. Why not give it to Keira as a token of gratitude for saving Great-
grandma's life?”

Keira didn’t know what to say.

The implication was clear. After giving her the money, the debt of gratitude would
be paid off, and then she wouldn't expect to live here anymore!

By saying this, Isla was completely acting as if she were

the hostess.

The corners of Keira’s mouth twitched. “In your mind, is old Mrs. Horton's life only
worth an apartment?”

Isla was taken aback. “That's not what I meant. I'm ju concerned about you...”
Keira lowered her eyes. “Enough with the pretense. Worry about me when you
really marry into the Horton family.”

Isla’s face turned ugly, “You...”

Melissa frowned. “Miss Olsen, Isla will soon own

shares, and she and Jake are only one step away from getting their marriage
certificate. She's practically the

Isla remained silent.

Keira was about to retort when Lewis
interrupted lightly. “Who taught you

way?” The content is on

But Melissa said, “Lewis, this is

wronged just to favor an outsider?”

However, Lewis scoffed. “Good reputation? Are you

Melissa was stunned.

Lewis then placed his mobile phone on the table. “Before you speak, I would
