My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 115

115 Breaking Off the Engagement 

At these words, the entire dining table fell suddenly silent.” 

Unclear on the situation, Melissa asked, “What’s wrong 

with the trending topics on Twitter? Today’s hot 

search is filled with praises for Isla, a fact I’m well 

aware of!” 

She was the one who instructed the PR department to 

do this. 

“Are you sure it’s praise?”

Lewis’s indifferent remark, however, ignited an ominous feeling in Melissa’s heart. 

She immediately took out her phone and opened Twitter’s hot search. 

At the same time, Jake’s phone also rang. It was a ca from the Horton Group’s PR department! 

Jake’s expression suddenly changed after he took the call, and he abruptly hung up, looking incredulous. He then opened Twitter on his phone to check the trending video.

Isla, not understanding what was going on, hesitantly asked, “Jake, what’s wrong?” 

“What’s wrong? You still have the nerve to ask what’s wrong?” 

Before Jake could continue, Melissa had already swept all the tableware off the table, directing it all at Isla! 

The hot milk that had just been served scalded Isla, making her jump up immediately. As she was about to speak, Melissa stood up, swinging her arm… 

“Slap!” 

The crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the room. 

Isla stood still, holding her face, seemingly unable to comprehend what had just occurred. “Auntie, what exactly is going on?” 

With a cold sneer, Melissa said, “Check Twitter!” 

It was only after checking Twitter that Isla realized she had been harshly criticized. 

It turned out that after Ms. S retweeted Josh’s post, it immediately captured everyone’s attention, allowing it to ferment to the top of the hot search in such a short

time. 

Moreover, after the police investigation, they had 

already announced a reward, verbally praised Josh, and issued him a certificate of commendation. 

All was said and done, and there was no room left to turn things around! 

In the past, when Isla stole Keira’s credit, at most a few people knew. But this time was different; everyone now knew her hypocritical nature. This time, she had thoroughly failed! 

Isla remained rooted to the spot, stunned. 

Seizing the moment, Tom walked in with a smile, holding a contract, and said, “Mr. Horton, I have revised the contract here. Do we sign the share transfer agreement now? Share transfers need to be made public.” 

With an icy response, Lewis said, “Are you sure you still want such a daughter-in-law? If the Horton family lets her in, I’m afraid it would become a joke!” 

Upon hearing this, Melissa clenched her fists tightly and pointed furiously toward the door. “Get out! I want you to get out! The marriage between our two

families is canceled!” 

Isla still wanted to explain. “Auntie, I…” 

“Shut your mouth! If you don’t leave now, I’ll call security!” 

Isla was shaking all over. She looked at Jake, only to see the man staring at her with disbelief in his eyes, clearly showing that he wouldn’t speak up for her. 

Isla lowered her head. “I’ll leave right away.” 

Even after she left, the dining room remained deathly 

silent. 

Tom continued. “So about this share transfer 

agreement… are we still signing it?” 

Melissa was dumbfounded. 

Nathan and Oliver both tensed their jaws. 

It wasn’t until this moment that they finally realized they had suffered a loss today! 

Not only did they fail to secure the five percent shares, but they had actually lost two percent! 

Nathan was so furious that his chest heaved with 

anger. He glared at Oliver, then snorted coldly, stood

up, and stormed out. 

Oliver got up to follow him. “Dad, let me take you back…” 

With both men gone, Melissa and Jake would be a joke if they stayed. They came pompously and left in disgrace. 

Isla soon arrived back at the Olsen residence. 

She was still covered in milk, dirty and disheveled. 

As soon as she entered the house, Taylor came to greet her. “Isla, how did it go? Jake came early this morning to take you to the Horton residence. Did you get the shares?” 

Right after he finished speaking, he noticed the expression on Isla’s face and paused in surprise. “Is what’s wrong? Shirley, come quick!” 

Mrs. Olsen, who had been resting upstairs, came down with Aunt South’s assistance upon hearing this. 

Seeing Isla’s condition, she frowned. 

Taylor sat Isla down on the couch, rage on his face.

“Who did this to you? The Horton family? They dare to bully my daughter; I’ll confront them!” 

But just as he reached the doorway, he was called back 

by Isla. “Dad, no, it’s not that. Come back!” 

Taylor stopped in his tracks. “Isla, then explain what exactly is going on?” 

Before Isla could speak, Mrs. Olsen had already approached them. 

Since recovering from her nightly coughs, she had been resting well recently, and her complexion had greatly improved. She was no longer as pale as paper, yet she remained frail, with a sickly look. 

Still, she stood with the grace and uprightness of 

bamboo in winter. 

She began to speak slowly. “Is it about the inciden trending on social media?” 

Isla’s pupils contracted, and lowering her head, she covered her face and began to cry. “Mom, I really didn’t mean to do it, Connor Hill came to see me, and I was terrified. He threatened me not to tell anyone, or he would come after me! I didn’t dare to speak at that
