My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

160 Another Slap in the Face
Lewis waved his hand dismissively, letting the butler exit first. “Please ask them
to wait.”
fYesa
After the butler quietly left, Lewis finally turned to Nathan, asking coldly, “On what
grounds?”
“On what grounds?” Nathan exuded a sense of authority. “With her status, she'll
only bring shame to the Horton Group! Do you know that if the reporters spread
the word tomorrow that your wife is an illegitimate daughter, how much our
shares will plummet?!”
Oliver also said, “Lewis, since you have taken the role of CEO of the Horton
Group, you must take on the corresponding responsibilities, including your
marriage! How could a woman of such status be worthy of you?!”
Seeing this, Melissa turned her gaze directly to Keira, “Miss Olsen, if you really
care about Lewis, you should conscientiously divorce him!”

Keira pressed her lips together, offering no response.
She wasn't foolish and certainly understood that these
people were just seizing the opportunity to make trouble. Even if today Lewis
announced that Madeleine was his wife, they would probably criticize Madeleine
for her humble origins, deeming her unworthy of
Lewis.
Yet, her own status was indeed the “issue.”
She turned her head to look at Lewis, trying to pull her hand out of his...
With a twinge of guilt indeed forming in her heart...
The “illegitimate daughter” label had imprisoned her for over twenty years, and
she didn’t want the same
shackles to bind Lewis...
Lost in thought, the strong, dry hand suddenly gripped hers tightly. Lewis's voice
then resolutely rang out. “Are there any legal stipulations that a corporation's
legal person, or a chairman, cannot marry an illegitimate daughter as a wife?”
His words made everyone speechless.
Nathan retorted angrily, “Do we need rules for that?

It's an unspoken consensus! You...”
“Since there are no stipulations...” Lewis cut him off directly. “If you wish to
remove me from the
chairman's position, then go through the proper
procedure, call a board meeting, and let everyone vote!”
“Your control of fifty-one percent of the shares makes the vote decision basically
whatever you say! I think you're just running a dictatorial regime in the company!”
An infuriated Nathan picked up a teacup and hurled it
at Lewis.
“Crash!”
The teacup smashed to pieces in front of Lewis, shards scattering everywhere.
Just as Nathan was about to speak, a walking stick suddenly struck out!
“Who allowed you to use violence?!”
Old Mrs. Horton, wielding her walking stick, struck at Nathan. “How dare you lay
a hand on Lewis and his wife? You're a disobedient son! Are you trying to kill

me?”
160 Another Slap in the Face
With a frown, Nathan looked at old Mrs. Horton,
showing a helpless expression, “Mom, I..."
“Don’t call me mom! If you don’t recognize your grandson's wife, then I don't
recognize you as a son!”
Old Mrs. Horton lost her temper. “You even dare to hit your grandson's wife.
What kind of grandfather-in-law are you? Which family’s grandfather-in-law dares
to strike their granddaughter-in-law?”
Dodging her blows, Nathan argued, “Mom, don't talk nonsense; everything I said
is for the best interest of the company. His choice of a wife is good for nothing,
and bringing it up only brings disgrace upon the Horton Group! Now he’s already
caused such a negative impact on the company, yet he still clings to the
chairman's seat. He's just being selfish! Even if I let it go today, there are still so
many executives in the Horton Group! With so many reporters at today's
banquet, the articles will soon come out, and the Horton family will become the
biggest joke in
Oceanion. Let's see how he'll explain himself to those executives tomorrow!!”

At those words, Oliver had already pulled out his phone, opened the financial
news channel's feed, and heaved a silent sigh. “Dad, we don’t need tomorrow.
The buzz has already started.”
Old Mrs. Horton paused her actions, while Nathan immediately turned to look at
his phone.
However, he saw headlines like #CEO of Horton Group's wife is an illegitimate
daughter# and #Mistress causes a scene at Old Mrs. Horton's birthday banquet#
that were eye-catching and had topped the trending searches.
Among them, the clickbait topic #Shocking: Lewis's wife is actually her# was
ranked first!
With a sneer, Nathan said, “Lewis, look at this, this is your doing! Tonight's
trending should've been about your grandmother’s birthday celebration, but it
turned into this! God knows how they're mocking you inside! What's so good
about this illegitimate daughter? You must give the Horton Group an explanation
today!”
Oliver also sighed. “Lewis, this matter concerns the entire company’s future
operations. You can’t act on a whim, nor can you neglect the company. Even if
you

don't give us an explanation today, you'll have to give one to those directors in
the company tomorrow,
you..."
Before he could finish, Keira suddenly said, “Did you see the title of the top
trending search?”
This remark made everyone pause slightly.
Nathan immediately frowned, “Such lack of manners. We are in the middle of a
conversation, and there you go interrupting. What business is it of a woman's?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the cane struck again. “l am also a woman. Are
you going to tell me to shut up, too?!”
Nathan was speechless.
There was simply no reasoning with old Mrs. Horto
Oliver then said. “Of course, I saw it. The heat of the
top trending search title is so much higher than the others. Without even opening
it, I know what it's saying, what it's criticizing...”
These trending searches had risen so quickly, naturally, because he had just paid
someone to boost them!
8/9
160 Another Slap in the Face
The first trending search title gained heat the fastest, so he spent five hundred
thousand on promoting its popularity!
Using the identity of Keira, the illegitimate daughter, to suppress Lewis...
But Keira smiled. “Then take a look inside..."
Oliver said with a sneer, “To see how others are
criticizing Horton Group?”
While saying that, he clicked on the title.
The next moment, he was stunned.
The content in the trending search title actually read, “Explosive! You'll never
guess who Lewis's wife is-it turns out to be Dr. South! Yes, Dr. South, the person
is at the forefront of cutting-edge technology in the new energy industry! Horton
Group's move is simply awesome, a powerful alliance! Once Horton Group's
stocks start trading tomorrow, they're probably going to see a surge!”
Below was a row of praises.
Oliver was dumbfounded. What was happening?!
Keira's lins curved un in a smile.

Keira teased him. “Oliver, thanks for the heat you provided.”
Oliver was dumbfounded.
He was so angry he nearly had a heart attack.
Lewis and Keira exchanged glances, a smile forming on their lips.
Lewis said lightly, “Dad, Oliver, whether Horton

He took Keira's hand. “Mr. and Mrs. Allen are still
outside waiting for us. We bid you farewell.”
The two of them joined hands and turned around, leaving the living room
together.
Once outside, they shared a smile before turning to
look at Mr. and Mrs. Allen, who had come back.
