My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 101

101 The Stolen Life

Keira’s eyes were cold and sharp. The smirk at the

corner of her mouth was devilishly enticing, carrying a wild vibe.

A sense of alienation from the world engulfed her.

The truth was, she never really felt she belonged to

this world.

When she was little, Isla had her classmates isolate and bully her. After leaving the Olsen family, she kept to herself over the years, making few friends.

The opinions and views of others were irrelevant to

her.

She wasn’t afraid of the invectives on the internet

did she fear the real-life reproaches. The words of journalists and Poppy hadn’t perturbed her at all.

So even if she threw a punch and hit someone, whic caused her name to trend online, she wouldn’t care!

With that thought, she took a step forward. The aura of defiance around her suddenly intensified!

The journalists immediately hoisted up their cameras,

ready to capture the moment she initiated an attack. Once that happened, she would become the target of public outrage!

But just then!

A deep voice filled with sternness rang out suddenly.

“Stop!”

Surprised, Keira looked downstairs to see a tall figure striding toward them.

Lewis dressed in a tailored suit and was angry when he saw the scene. He waved his hand, and the bodyguards behind him surged forward, isolating Keira and the journalists and filling the narrow staircase.

The bodyguards emitted an intimidating aura, and their fierce appearance intimidated the journalists

Poppy.

Josh swallowed nervously. “Mr. Horton, what’s going

on?”

Lewis’s eyes were dark. “I suspect that you’re illegally infringing on Miss Olsen’s freedom!”

Josh quickly defended himself. “We are just doing a

normal interview…”

His voice lacked conviction even as he spoke.

“Normal?” Lewis scoffed. “You can discuss that with my legal team.”

Having said that, he walked over to Keira, picked up her suitcase with one hand while grabbing her wrist with the other, and led her down the stairs.

This time, no one dared to obstruct them.

As Keira followed him down and out of the building, the sunlight showered upon her, sweeping away the gloom in her chest.

She looked up at the blinding sunlight, her expression cold and her voice indifferent. “You shouldn’t have come. Those journalists couldn’t have cornered me.”

Lewis replied, “If you hit someone, you’ll be critic

“I’m not afraid of being criticized.”

“But you shouldn’t be criticized.”

Keira was taken aback.

She had become accustomed to being criticized and being incompatible with others. She was used to

2/6

putting up a prickly defense. She never thought she’d hear such words one day.

The coldness around her gradually faded, and the alienation in her eyes slowly vanished.

Suddenly, she let out a soft chuckle.

Lewis asked, “What are you laughing at?”

“I’m just thinking how miserable Connor must be right

now.”

Keira looked up and was back to her old self again. “He’s probably on the verge of collapsing…”

If Connor couldn’t hang in there and go to Isla, the two of them would fall out. Keira could then produce evidence of Connor being the murderer. Once he was arrested, he would expose the secret that Finley t to his grave…

As they talked, they came to Lewis’s Bentley. As the door opened, Keira immediately noticed that old Mrs

Horton was inside.

Old Mrs. Horton’s gaze fell upon their still holding hands… Her eyes lit up. “Well done, my boy!”

Keira had just realized that they were holding hands.

She instantly withdrew her hand, finding the spot where he’d gripped her wrist was hot.

To change the subject from the old lady’s amused expression, she asked, “Grandma, what are you doing here?”

Old Mrs. Horton promptly replied, “Of course, I came to pick up my granddaughter-in-law and take her home!”

“Home?”

“Yes!” Mrs. Horton seemed hopeful. “I’m sick of the hospital. My dear, since you can’t stay here anymore, why not come home with me?”

Just as Keira was about to refuse, old Mrs. Horton said, “If you don’t come home with me, I’ll just continue stay in the hospital.”

Old Mrs. Horton’s illness had long vanished. She had been pretending to be sick just to make Lewis and Keira stay by her side and spend more time together.

Lewis also said, “Miss Olsen, these reporters can be pretty persistent. Only the Horton family can ensure

17:52

your safety. Please come stay with us for the time

being.”

102 The Stolen Life (2)

Keira said, “Okay.”

“Fantastic, my dear granddaughter-in-law, let’s go

home!”

The car quickly entered House One Manor, winding along the driveway for ten minutes before entering the Horton residence

Despite not being her first visit, Keira still marveled at

the size of the manor.

No wonder Isla was so keen to marry Jake and become

the hostess here.

She was lost in her thoughts when their car pulled

over.

Keira and Lewis helped old Mrs. Horton out of the and into the living room.

As they entered, they saw Isla trying to appease Jake. “Jake, don’t be mad at me. I’ve already apologized to the Allen family. They won’t blame me anymore.”

Jake’s expression was foul. He initially tried to ignore her, but upon hearing the approaching footsteps and

seein

Keira entering alongside Lewis, he stood up in surprise. “Keira, what are you doing in my house?!”

Before he could continue, old Mrs. Horton snapped. “I invited my granddaughter-in-law here! Got a problem with that?”

Jake was taken aback, “Granddaughter-in-law?”

Isla quickly said, “Jake, it seems like Great-grandma has mistaken Keira for Mr. Horton’s wife…”

Jake immediately glanced at Keira and Lewis, his brows furrowed.

Lewis suddenly emphasized each word. “Miss Olsen is our guest. She’ll be staying with the Hortons for a

while.”

At the sound of these words, Isla clenched her fist even tighter, her eyes glowing with jealousy.

She voiced her disagreement. “Is this a good idea? Keira being labeled as a killer might bring trouble to the Horton family. If a reporter catches wind of her staying here, people might think we’re harboring her. This might even affect the Horton’s stock…”

Before she could say anything else, Lewis cut in with a

12:42

217

cold voice, “The matters of the Horton family are none of your concern.”

Isla felt insulted and bit her lip in frustration.

Suddenly, Jake grabbed her hand. “Uncle Lewis, Isla is just concerned for the Horton family. After all, she’s my fiancée.”

A wave of happiness washed over Isla!

Despite her efforts to make up for her mistakes recently, Jake had been ignoring her. But now that he suddenly supported her, she realized he was using her to target Keira.

Isla was never one to be blinded by love. She knew what she had to do. Jake wouldn’t let her go because he still found her useful.

Now, what she needed to do was to stay here an

rid of Keira!

With this in mind, she gave Jake a nod and was abo to speak when her phone suddenly rang.

Without thinking, she pulled out her phone and saw “Connor” flashing on the screen.

Now was a critical moment to win Jake back, so how

37

could she take another man’s call?

She immediately hung up and went on. “Mr. Horton, I’m not against Keira. I’m just giving advice from a PR perspective. The Horton family should clear its name from any negativity. I…”

She heard the ringtone.

Her phone rang again.

Isla quickly picked up and hung up again.

Before she could say anything, the phone rang once

more.

Jake’s face darkened, and he let go of her hand. “Just answer your phone!”

Isla immediately clenched her fists, gave Jake an apologetic smile, and answered the phone. “Hey, busy. Can we talk later…”

Before she could finish speaking, Connor snapped “What could be more important than me?”

Isla tried to calm him down. “There really is something…”

“I don’t care. I need you to come over right now! The

C

reporters are surrounding me, and they’re all lashing out at me. Aunt Poppy is also here at my school,

blocking my dorm door and calling me an ungrateful wretch! Doesn’t she always listen to you? Come here and take her away!”

Isla bit her lip and looked back at Jake. He was expecting her to do something, and it was the only time in the past few days he’d seemed content with her. She knew she couldn’t leave today.

Otherwise, Jake would truly be fed up with her!

Isla covered the phone and said to Jake, “I’m going to take this call and try to finish it as quickly as possible.”

Then she walked out the door.

Once she left, Keira and Lewis exchanged a glan

Lewis immediately pulled out his phone and beg tapping the screen. He then handed Keira a Blue earphone.

The conversation between Isla and Connor was immediately transmitted into the earpiece.

She could hear Isla’s every word. “Connor, stop making a fuss. I have something very important going on now.

5/7

You were just criticized a few times, right? Just bear with it a little longer…”

“I can’t bear it!” Connor yelled angrily. “You don’t know what it feels like. The way my classmates look at me- it’s all disgusted and disdainful looks. When I go to the canteen, even the people there won’t serve me food anymore! Wherever I go, I’m pointed at and whispered about. Isla, let’s run away and leave this city! We’ll find a place where no one knows us!”

Isla lost her patience and snapped back, “Enough! If we leave here, where would we go? Do you have money? Without any money, how are we supposed to live? In Oceanion, I’m Miss Olsen. If I go with you, could you provide me with the life I have now?”

Upon hearing this, Keira’s eyes narrowed a bit.

She thought it would take at least a couple of days before Isla and Connor would have a fallout, but it wasn’t even a full day before Connor lost his patienc

As she was contemplating this, she heard Connor roar on the phone, “I don’t have any money, but I can make sure that you can’t continue this life you’re living in Oceanion! Do you think your current lifestyle can last?

This life you’re living now is actually all stolen from

103 Arrest

Keira blinked slightly.

What did Isla steal from her?

While deep in thought, she heard Isla frantically defend herself. “What nonsense are you spouting?!”

“Did I hit a nerve?”

Connor, who had lost his composure at school, was taunting Isla relentlessly, using her pain points against her. “Did you not steal Dr. South’s identity from her to win over Jake? Do you really think Jake would love you? He’s just interested in Dr. South! And then there’s the Allen family, you pretended to be Keira again, Isla. You seem quite familiar with this modus operandi!”

Isla exploded in fury. “Connor Hill, shut your mouth

Connor sneered. “Why should I shut up when you’ve stolen something even more important from her? Do you want me to spell it out?”

Something… more important? What could it be?!

Keira frowned.

Isla roared, “Shut up! Shut up!”

It seemed that Connor still had some expectations for her, so he didn’t bring up that topic anymore, “Isla, I can stay silent, but you have to elope with me. I’ll work hard to earn money and provide you with a better

life…”

Isla took a deep breath and said resolutely, “You, a dropout, what can you give me? What I want is the position of the mistress of the Horton family! Connor Hill, I’m not going with you!”

“You! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll reveal your secret?!” Connor growled with anger.

Isla chuckled. “Go ahead. Connor Hill, do you honestly believe that only you have leverage over me and that have no leverage over you?”

Connor was stunned. “What do you mean?”

Isla seemed to have taken out a voice recorder, and after she turned it on, there was first an electric current hiss, followed by Connor’s voice. “Isla, don’t worry. I killed my father! He’ll never bother you again!”

Isla exclaimed, “How could you murder someone? You

will and un in prison!”

218

“No, I can pin the blame on Keira. Isla, I’ve removed these two annoying people for you at once. Remember, it’s all for your own good. I love you…”

The recording abruptly ended.

Isla laughed. “Connor, if you dare expose my secret, I’ll hand this over to the police! If I lose everything, your ending will be a thousand times worse than mine!”

Connor sounded horrified. “Isla, you can’t treat me like

this!!”

“You and your father forced me first!” Isla’s voice was exuberant as she said quietly, “Connor, we both hold each other’s secrets, so let’s be at peace.”

“How can I be at peace? I’m surrounded by reporters and attacked by my aunt! I’m going crazy!”

“Then suck it up!” Isla’s voice was ruthless.

It seemed that Connor was frightened by her. “Isla, don’t you care about my feelings at all? Don’t you love

me?”

But Isla didn’t want to deal with him tactfully anymore. “Are you kidding me? If it wasn’t for your father forcing me to tutor you, would I have treated you like

378

that? Every time I see you and your father, I feel sick! You’re parasites and blood-suckers! Connor Hill, don’t bother me again!”

Connor was stunned. “You never loved me?”

Isla sneered. “I only love myself! If you obey, we can continue as before. If you threaten me again, don’t blame me for being unforgiving!”

Connor sobbed. “Isla, don’t scare me. If I’m caught by the police, I’ll expose your secret!”

After saying this, Connor hung up.

In the living room, Keira removed her earphones, her eyes shining brightly.

She took out her cell phone and sent a message to Holly. “You can arrest Connor Hill now.”

After sending the message, she looked up at Lewis.

Lewis immediately understood her meaning and nodded slightly.

Their tacit interaction made Jake feel very

uncomfortable!

There must be something between his uncle and

12 43

4/8

Keira. But how could that be? Keira should be his!

He clenched his fist, his eyes welling up with tears. “Uncle, wouldn’t Auntie be displeased with Keira living here and being mistaken as jer by Grandma?”

Lewis smiled. “She probably won’t mind. Isn’t that right, Miss Olsen?”

Keira raised an eyebrow, “That should be the case, Mr.

Horton.”

Their conversation was polite and distant, but it was strangely sweet.

Jake’s anger escalated, and he was about to say something, but Isla walked in from outside. “Mr. Horton, the point isn’t Mrs. Horton’s attitude, but that Keira is now deep in a public opinion controversy. I just checked online. She actually attacked a reporte and even harmed her own mother. Mr. Horton, the video of you taking her away has been released, and now everyone is saying that the person shielding her is the Horton family…”

Isla handed her phone to Jake. Indeed, the public opinion online was all criticisms toward the Horton family.
