My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

139 Identity
Everyone turned their heads to see Lewis and were
stunned.
Someone who didn’t know who that was asked, “Who
is this?”
The person next to them immediately replied, “That's Jakes uncle, the current
man in charge of the Horton family! I saw him on the financial news channel just
a few days ago...”
No sooner had they finished explaining than Professor Miller stood up,
exclaiming in surprise. “Mr. Horton?”
The Horton Group gave a substantial amount of support to Oceanion University’s
labs every year, and now that Professor Miller had become the dean of the
Energy College, of course, he had dealt with Lewis before.
As he stood up, the others immediately followed suit.
Jake and Isla exchanged glances and both smiled.
What a large-scale adultery bust!
Jake looked down and politely called out, “Uncle, what
09:12

brings you here?”
Lewis glanced at Keira and Scott before looking away and said in a deep voice, “I
heard it's Professor Miller's birthday, and I happened to be in the area, so I came
to have a look. Why? Am I not welcome?”
“How could that be!”
Jake gestured toward Keira’s seat. “Uncle, please take a
seat.”
The seat of honor belonged to Professor Miller, who as today’s birthday star and
elder, couldn't possibly give up his seat. Given Lewis's status, Keira immediately
moved down one spot.
Lewis walked over without ceremony and sat between
her and Professor Miller.
Upon seeing this, Isla cheerfully said, “Mr. Martin, what are you waiting for?
Please, take a seat.”
Scott, hearing this, gave Keira a look, thought for a moment, and sat next to her.
The classmate who had been sitting next to Keira immediately stood up and
vacated his seat, allowing Scott to sit down without
hesitation.

And so...
Keira found herself sandwiched between Scott and
Lewis.
Keira, suddenly feeling a chill coming from Lewis, was puzzled.
She looked at Lewis, bemused.
Just as she was about to ask why he came over, Professor Miller spoke first.
“Keira, didn’t you have some misunderstanding with Mr. Horton before? Has it
been resolved now?”
Keira smiled. “Yes.”
“That's good to hear.” Professor Miller sighed in relief.
Even though Keira was Dr. South, she was merely a research staff, and for the
Hortons, the wealthiest family in Oceanion, snuffing her out was as simple as
lifting a finger.
Professor Miller then turned to Lewis. “Mr. Horton, it's good that you're here. I
have some experimental data that I was just about to report to the Horton
Group..."
He began to talk to Lewis.

This left Keira with no chance to inquire further. She sighed in resignation and
suddenly felt a tug at her
sleeve.
Keira turned her head to see Scott looking at her.
The man’s expression was warm and smiling. “Miss Olsen, do you remember
who I am now? Could we add each other on WhatsApp?”
Keira had already figured out what was going on.
This man had no ill intent. He was called over for no reason, and considering he
had taken time off from his construction site to come here, Keira found it difficult
to refuse outright, so she merely nodded and took out her phone.
Scott scanned her QR code and sent a WhatsApp
request.
Not far from them, Charles saw what happened and immediately said, “Did you
see that? Dr. South and this gentleman just added each other on WhatsApp.
They really didn’t know each other!”
Erin couldn't stand him speaking up for Keira and immediately scoffed. “Brown-
noser, you're so eager to
clear things un for your hood What? Is she going to
09:13

give you a promotion and raise?”
Charles said, “You....I”
Erin instantly turned her gaze to Keira. “Who can't act? It's just a scan of a code.”
However, Charles had already believed Keira, and at the same time, he had
realized something. Even if she really wanted a temporary, there was no need for
her to marry a construction worker from a job site.
He hadn’t spoken yet when a male student beside them spoke up. “Erin, that’s
enough. Targeting Keira over and over today is indeed too much! I also think that
Keira wouldn't marry a migrant worker. In college,
she didn’t even give Mr. Horton...”
The words “a second thought” were forcibly swallowed
down.
He gave a sheepish smile.
Jake's gaze, however, turned gloomy.
Erin snorted. “She was just putting on airs, right? Later, she wanted him, but Mr.
Horton didn’t want her. I remember sitting behind Keira at the graduation
ceremony. When I saw Lewis proposing to Isla, Keira’s
09:13

eyes widened! Do you think she really didn’t want it? She just couldn’t have it!”
Upon hearing this, Jake was slightly startled and suddenly turned his gaze
toward Keira.
Did Erin's words mean... that if the surprise he had prepared for Keira at
graduation had been given to her, she would have accepted his love?!
Jake had pursued her for four years, always feeling like
he had no chance.
The final act was merely to draw a conclusion for
himself.

It never occurred to him that she would be an illegitimate daughter. Upon learning
of this, he was furious, yet all the surprises had already been arranged, and his
classmates were ready to play along Out of desperation, he intentionally chose
Isla.
For a moment, Jake didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh.
She had cared about him at one point!
But what of it?!
Her background doomed her to be someone he could
09:13

never truly consider.
His mother would never allow him to marry an
illegitimate daughter!
Jake steeled himself, and when he looked up again, the bewilderment in his eyes
had vanished, replaced by a more forbidding air.

Erin was speechless.

take her husband there?”
Isla immediately showed a look of embarrassment. “That... Well, Keira, I'm sorry,
I let it slip by accident...”
Keira suddenly tensed up.
Beside her, Lewis's gaze darkened. Just as he was about to speak, Keira
suddenly grabbed his hand under the
table.
Lewis was taken aback, then saw Keira slowly raise her
head.
Her back was straight, her eyes shifting from despair
to a slow determination.
Her identity had always been a pain she didn’t want to talk about, but she knew
she had to learn to face it
openly.
Keira began to speak, enunciating each word deliberately. “Because I am the
Olsen family’s illegitimate daughter.”
