My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 121

121 Granddaughter-in-Law

“Whoever your husband is, that’s no excuse for you to be someone else’s mistress, a homewrecker!”

Jake’s gaze was sharp as he stared at her. “Or is that what you are? Your mother was someone’s mistress. Have you inherited her genes? Do you think you’re destined to be a mistress and that you can’t be comfortable unless you’re wrecking someone’s home?”

His provocative words sounded a bit insane.

Keira only found it ludicrous and couldn’t be bothered to argue. “Think what you like.”

That apparently further enraged Jake, and he angrily grabbed her arm. “Keira, I order you to leave my uncle

at once!”

Keira scoffed. “Under what authority are you ordering me?”

Jake clenched his fists.

At this moment, Isla’s voice rang out. “Keira, Jake, what are you guys doing!!”

She strode over angrily.

Her gaze swept from Jake to Keira, then she showed a pitiful expression. “What are you two doing behind my back here, grabbing at each other?”

Her voice was shrill, quickly drawing the attention of the surrounding security guards and maids.

The Horton residence was vast, and many people

worked there. Isla roughly estimated there to be over a

hundred!

Seeing that everyone was looking over, she cried out even more miserably. “Keira, back in university, Jake chose me! Now that you’re with Mr. Horton. Why are you still pestering Jake?”

Keira was perplexed.

She narrowed her eyes as she looked around.

Sure enough, quite a few were pointing and murmuring/

“I heard she’s the illegitimate daughter of the Olsen family, always competing with Miss Olsen for things… even in university, she competed with Miss Olsen for Young Master Jake…”

“Exactly, her mother was a mistress, so she’s just not

content with a plain life, right? She hasn’t seen much of the world. Isn’t that why she grabs whatever she

sees?”

“Miss Olsen and Young Master Jake just got married, and she’s already after Young Master Jake. How

shameless!”

“That’s not right. Didn’t she seduce Mr. Horton? Didn’t you see the photos from yesterday?”

“Ah, she seduced Mr. Horton, Does she try to stir up Young Master Jake’s jealousy? This woman is terrifying. Is she evil or something? She’s twisting both men around her finger…”

“How shameless and disgusting!”

Such comments made Keira frown.

She suddenly realized that old Mrs. Horton ha respected her choices and would at most use h health as an excuse to force her to live with Lew develop a relationship. She wouldn’t have drugged

Horton.

Was someone plotting against them to take those photographs?

Was it Isla or Melissa?

Was it aimed at her, or to defame Lewis?

Keira felt ridiculous for a moment and pulled away from Jake’s arm. “Jake, tell everyone. Am I pestering you?”

Jake was being stared down by her captivating eyes, and his aura weakened as he subconsciously said, “No…”

Before he could finish, Isla stepped forward, took his arm, and glared at Keira. “If you’re not clinging to him, is it Jake who’s clinging to you? We just got md today, and we’re in the sweetest time of our liv definitely going to tell old Mrs. Horton so she c

your true colors and kick you, the troublemaker, the Horton family!”

Kick her out of the Horton family…

Upon hearing this, Jake’s eyes suddenly turned cold and menacing.

O

If Keira were to be driven out, wouldn’t the link between her and his uncle be severed? In Oceanion, wouldn’t Keira have no choice but to obediently surrender, to be molded as he pleased?

Having understood this, Jake said coldly, “Keira, I’ve been polite to you out of respect for our past as classmates, but since you’ve seduced my uncle, why bother me anymore? I’m married now, and from today on, Isla will be the only one in my heart! Please have some self-respect in the future!”

Keira frowned.

She looked at Jake and suddenly let out a mocking

laugh.

From that moment on, that spirited and hands me young man from university was truly gone…

Jake’s words confirmed the accusations of Kein seduction, and Isla immediately bit her lip and b to accuse Keira. “Keira, you’re already married. Ik your husband is no good and doesn’t have a proper job. He can’t support you, but Mom always taught us be self-reliant since we were young! If you really can’t find a good job, we can help you, but how could

O

you do such a thing?”

She lowered her head and began crying with restraint. “Ever since we were kids, you’ve always competed with me for everything. You can act; you please Mom, and she favors you. I could endure all that, but Jake is all I have now. How could you take him from me too? I’m already carrying Jake’s child. Do you want my child to be born into a family torn apart by your mother’s

deeds?”

Isla knew exactly what the family cared about most, and with just a few words, she elicited everyone’s sympathy. People began pointing fingers and murmuring about Keira.

“Oh my God, how shameless! Even stealing someone

else’s mother…”

“When Mrs. Olsen came visiting yesterday, I notic

she treated Keira better than Miss Isla. I was

wondering what was going on, so that’s the reason..

“Mrs. Olsen is confused too. Can’t she tell who her re

daughter is?”

“Gosh, she and her mistress mother are unbelievable.

Although we’re used to seeing affairs in wealthy

111

O

6/9

families, I’ve never seen a mistress so brazenly enter a home like this before. Just hearing about it makes me

furious…”

As the group was in the midst of their condemnation, Melissa and old Mrs. Horton received the news and hurried over.

Since old Mrs. Horton was closer, she arrived first and immediately roared, “Don’t bully my

granddaughter-in-law!!”

Her words left everyone stunned.

What did old Mrs. Horton just say?

Granddaughter-in-law?

Could Keira possibly be Lewis’s wife?!

While everyone was reflecting, Isla continued her tearful accusations. “Keira, you are truly heartless. You’ve even deceived old Mrs. Horton. She has dementia and can’t recognize people, so you lied to her, saying you’re her granddaughter-in-law. That’s how you got into the Horton household and climbed into my uncle’s bed! How can you be so unashamed to

O

stoop so low?”

Jake also said angrily, “Keira, we used to be classmates, and I showed you some respect. Now, make things clear to my grandmother, and we won’t pursue this matter any further!”

The two spoke as if they were righteous and just.

Old Mrs. Horton immediately shielded Keira. “Jake, your aunt is right there. How can you speak to her like that?!”

Jake took a step forward. “Great-grandmother, you’ve been deceived by her! She can’t possibly be my aunt!” “She is!” Old Mrs. Horton looked directly at Fiona. “Hurry up and call that brat back! Tell him his wife is being bullied!”

122 Tip-off

Fiona immediately nodded, took out her mobile phone, and intended to go aside to make a call.

But a large hand reached over and snatched her phone

away.

Jake sneered, “Fiona, having this woman here is nothing but a calamity. She has been deceiving Great-grandma all along. We’re also considering the Horton family’s well-being. You don’t need to make that call. After we send this person away, when my Uncle comes back tonight, I’ll explain everything to him.”

Fiona frowned. “Mr. Jake, we should still wait for Mr. Lewis to come back and decide on this matter! After all, Miss Olsen is a guest of him and old Mrs. Horton!”

“A guest? I see her as nothing but a shameless woman clinging to my uncle!”

Jake flatly said, “The photos of her and my uncle have already spread. This is very bad for the company’s image. What I’m doing is for my uncle’s good.”

Old Mrs. Horton was so angry that her chest heaved. “Jake! You disobedient boy! I’ve said it. She’s your uncle’s wife; you can’t treat her like this!”

Jake cast his eyes down and said nothing.

Melissa had already hurried over, exchanged a glance with Isla, and the two quickly went to Old Mrs. Horton’s side, each taking an arm of her.

Isla said gently, “Great-grandma, it’s cold here. Let’s get you back to your room first, so you don’t fall ill.”

Melissa also heaved a sigh. “Grandma, you are really confused. Lewis’s wife is studying abroad; she hasn’t returned. You mistook this Miss Olsen for someone

else!”

“I didn’t mistake her for anyone!”

Old Mrs. Horton struggled, refusing to leave.

Melissa was conscious of old Mrs. Horton’s health an didn’t dare to be rough.

But Isla hated the old woman to her core. It was all

because of this damned old wretch that Keira was so

favored in the Horton family

Angered she pinched old Mrs. Horton hard.

O

Old Mrs. Horton cried out in shock, “Why are you pinching me?”

Isla feigned ignorance. “Great-grandma, I didn’t! You’re mistaken again…”

Upon hearing this, Keira immediately looked toward Isla, bent down swiftly, and reached old Mrs. Horton. She immediately grabbed Melissa by the arm, sending a shock through her hand and making her release old

Mrs. Horton.

Keira’s other hand then struck Isla’s face hard!

“Slap!”

Isla saw Keira charging over, thought of the past instances when she had been hit, and already had stepped back to evade, but she didn’t expect tha

would still get struck.

Clenching her fists, she suddenly took a step back deliberately fell to the ground, “Keira, what are you doing?”

She then clutched her lower abdomen, “My belly…”

Jake instantly looked at her with concern.

Indeed lake had been tricked by Isla some time ago

and spent a night with her in a hotel. Hence, he truly believed that the child was his.

He bent down to help Isla up, then turned his furious

glare towards Keira, “You can speak without having to resort to violence, can’t you?”

Keira ignored him and checked on old Mrs. Horton, “Grandma, are you alright?”

Old Mrs. Horton rolled up her sleeve to reveal a bruise on her arm and complained with a sense of grievance. “Granddaughter-in-law, she pinched me!”

Keira suddenly turned around, her gaze on Isla fierce.

That chilling look made even Jake feel as if a surge of lethal intent suddenly raced up his spine, sending a shiver down his back.

He stepped back, looked at the surrounding securit guards, and ordered, “What are you dawdling for? G this woman out of here now!”

“Let’s see who dares!”

Keira shouted fiercely, her piercing gaze directed at the security guards. “You don’t believe I am Lewis’s

12.60

O

wife, and you don’t care about old Mrs. Horton’s safety either?! If you dare to make a move and jostle the old lady, Lewis won’t let you off when he comes back!”

It wasn’t that she was afraid of them or afraid to engage physically; she was just worried that the scene might distress old Mrs. Horton.

Sure enough, the security guards were frightened and, although they surrounded Keira, they dared not move.

Melissa stepped forward. “The family doctor said that the old Mrs. Horton is in good health. She’s not that fragile! Go on, throw this woman out for me!”

But those around her still hesitated and didn’t dare to

act.

They had all witnessed Lewis’s methods!

When he returned to the country this year, Melissa, representing the first branch of the family, wanted to put him in his place by intentionally having the kitche send him cold meals.

As a result, Lewis immediately took some people and smashed up the kitchen!

A few chefs and those helping in the kitchen were

5/8

injured, and afterward, they were never compensated and were fired under the pretext of neglecting their

duties.

To this day, those chefs were still unable to find work!

Moreover, Lewis wasn’t just assertive at home, but also at the company. Anyone who dared to defy his orders had been dealt with long ago.

These security guards knew very well who could be bullied and who couldn’t!

Seeing they still hadn’t made a move, Melissa shouted immediately, “If you don’t act now, I’ll fire you! And don’t worry, I’ll take the blame if anything happens!”

Hearing this, a few security guards stepped forward slowly encircling Keira and old Mrs. Horton but stil not laying a hand on them due to their concern for old lady.

Seeing this, Isla immediately yelled, “Keira, old Mrs. Horton isn’t suited for this scene. If you really care about her well-being, let Fiona take her back to her

room!”

Fiona, who was anxiously circling outside the crowd, quickly broke into the security circle upon hearing this

and supported old Mrs. Horton.

Keira urged her. “Grandma, you go back with Fiona.”

“I won’t. I must protect my granddaughter-in-law!”

Old Mrs. Horton was very angry.

Fiona then spoke up, “Ma’am, my cell phone was taken away. If you come with me, we can call the master using the landline and let him come back!”

Old Mrs. Horton was taken aback.

Keira said, “Right, you go and spread the word quick.”

Indeed, the current scene had agitated old Mrs. Horton, and she seemed somewhat confused, “Right, I must find that brat to save my granddaughter-in-law!”

Keira then patted her arm. “Grandma, then pleas

with Fiona.”

Fiona took the opportunity to steady Old Mrs. Hor and led her away.

Fiona also whispered, “Miss Olsen, a wise woman doesn’t fight when the odds are against her. You should leave with them first, and I’ll immediately call the master to help you!”

O

Keira lowered her eyes. “I understand. You two go

inside.”

123 Lewis Arrives

Outside the courtyard.

Over half a dozen security guards surrounded Keira, closing in step by step.

Seeing this, Jake found it unbearable, so he shouted,

“Keira, just surrender and leave the Hortons. You won’t have to suffer! Otherwise, this is my home. You’re intruding, and if we kill you, we’ll bear no legal responsibility!”

Isla, supported by him, bit her lip upon hearing this, a flash of ruthlessness sparking in her eyes.

Even at a time like this, Jake was still concerned about Keira’s safety.

That Keira was simply a disaster!

No matter what, she had to be driven out today.

Thinking this, Isla also feigned concern. “Keira, you should go. Don’t worry, I’ll arrange a job for your husband in the Horton family. If you really have nowhere to go, you can also return to the Olsen family…”

Keira turned to look at her, a scornful smile on her lips. “You can’t even tolerate me here in the Horton’s.

Would you really be at ease if I actually went back to the Olsens?”

Isla’s gaze flickered. Of course, she couldn’t bear it!

But it was still better than having Keira stay here, clinging to Jake, and it would be always on her mind!

Isla hung her head. “What’s there to worry about? If you could go back and take care of Mom and Dad, I’d be happy…

“Hypocrite.”

Keira uttered that word coldly.

Isla’s eyes reddened, and she was still pretending. “Keira, please go. If you stay here, one minute you’r seducing Mr. Horton, the next you’re messing with Jake. You’re going to cause discord between Lewis an Jake!”

Keira scoffed. “Stop trying to put Jake on a pedestal. If I could seduce Lewis, how could I possibly settle for Jake?”

Jake’s face stiffened.

Isla also twitched at the corner of her mouth.

Melissa said angrily, “How is my son any worse than

Lewis? In terms of looks…”

She paused for a moment.

While Jake was indeed a sunny, handsome boy,

compared to Lewis’s exquisitely handsome face, he really did fall somewhat short.

She quickly changed the subject, “In terms of knowledge…

No sooner had these words come out than she paused

again.

Jake being admitted to the top-tier university in Oceanion was indeed impressive, but over the yea Lewis hadn’t been an ordinary playboy abroad. He completed graduate studies at Stanford University which was incomparable.

Melissa swallowed, steeling herself to continue. “…is hardly much less than his younger uncle. My son is st young, six years younger than his uncle! Besides, Jake is much more obedient and even-tempered than Lewis. He’s easier to control! You’ll never be more to

I own than a lovor but if you hang on to mu son

might just end up being promoted to a wife! As if nobody knows what little schemes you have in your

heart!”

Hearing this, Isla clenched her fists.

Melissa’s words had struck a chord; that was exactly

why she had targeted Keira as soon as she entered the Horton household!

Jake was easily swayed; Isla could deceive him, and so

could Keira!

Moreover, Jake genuinely liked Keira.

The way he looked at Keira was filled with barely concealed possessiveness.

Therefore, she had to drive Keira out today, lest stay and become tangled with Jake in the future
