My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 114

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.

2/9 

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. 

4/9 

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…”
