My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 71

71 Open Your Eyes

Having heard their dialogue, old Mrs. Horton also realized something. “Granddaughter-in-law, the person you said you visited today, is it the younger sister of the Allen family?”

After Keira came back from the police station, she made a visit to Rebecca and came back only after seeing that she had finished her rehabilitation training.

She gave a simple explanation to old Mrs. Horton, and surprisingly the old lady remembered it.

Looking at Mrs. Horton, Keira found her health hadn’t declined recently. Instead, it seemed to have improved

somewhat.

The medicine had to be developed soon. It would be best if it could help the old lady remember the truth about her marriage to Lewis

Lewis, who was listening to their conversation, raised the corner of his lips, and a mocking look flashed in his

eyes.

It turned out that Frankie had mistaken someone else

for her.

He suddenly spoke up, “Miss Olsen, the day after tomorrow, there’s a celebration banquet for the collaboration between Horton Group and the Allen family. I’m still missing a female companion. Are you interested?”

Keira didn’t raise her head. “No.”

Lewis choked for a moment, his deep eyes flickering. “Didn’t Miss Olsen say that she wanted to introduce the two families?”

Only then did Keira look at him, her amorous eyes twinkling, and she reluctantly agreed, “Alright.”

Old Mrs. Horton looked surprised. “Are you willing to reconcile with the Allen family, you brat?”

Lewis responded vaguely before changing the topic. “What did you eat for lunch today?”

“I had rice, chicken soup, and celery…”

Tom, sitting next to them, couldn’t help but glance at

his boss.

The boss had never shown a bit of intention to reconcile with his mother, whom he had never met.

This time, he made it a point to keep everything professional, and thus the news of his disagreement with Frankie spread. But in fact, during this collaboration, Frankie had extended his goodwill multiple times, and the boss had never reciprocated, making it clear that he didn’t want to have any relations beyond business with them.

So, was his proposal just to make Keira his companion for the party?

Tom showed a thoughtful expression.

After dinner, Keira wanted to take her dog for a walk.

She put the leash on the puppy and walked out the

door.

Tom was going downstairs to get some files, so he took

the elevator with her.

As they walked side by side, Tom suddenly smiled and asked, “Miss Olsen, what sort of man do you like?”

Although Miss Olsen had a boyfriend who was anxious to get married, as long as they weren’t married, the boss still had a chance!

Tom had to help his boss find out, so it would be

71 Open Your Eyes

easier for him to snatch her away from her boyfriend!

Upon hearing his words, Keira seemed slightly taken

aback.

Having watched Poppy, who was love-struck, refuse to leave the Olsen family since childhood, she was somewhat repulsed by the idea of love and marriage. That was why she chose to reject the pursuits of boys.

She was afraid that after falling in love, she would lose

herself.

She had never thought about what her future partner might look like…

But when Tom asked that question, the handsome face of Lewis was the first thing that came to her mind.

Without thinking, she answered, “Handsome, about six feet tall, seventy-five kilograms in weight, with a deep and attractive voice, thoughtful, and particularly good at scolding people…”

Tom’s eyes grew brighter as he listened. She might as well have just said his boss’s name!

Did Miss Olsen and the boss have mutual feelings for

each other?

Noticing the expression on his face, Keira suddenly realized what she had said. Changing the direction of the conversation, she hastily added, “…amiable and warm, good at telling jokes, a kind man!”

Tom was dumbfounded.

A warm, gentle man? That had nothing to do with his boss at all, right?

He had always been known for being cold with a gloomy face.

Seeing the change in his expression, Keira finally breathed a sigh of relief, her cheeks slightly flushed. Annoyed at the slow pace of the puppy, she bent down to pick it up and descended the stairs quickly.

Tom sighed, feeling that Lewis had no hope.

He turned around to go back to the ward but fro

when he saw Lewis standing behind him.

The corridor lights were somewhat dim, and half of man’s face was in shadow, making him look rather lonely.

Apparently, he had heard all of the conversation

between Tom and Keira!

Tom cleared his throat and innocently scratched his

head. “Well, Boss, you could try smiling more at Miss

Olsen…”

“… You talk too much.”

Lewis scolded as he passed Tom, descending the stairs quickly.

It was already dark outside. Under the streetlight, Keira was crouching and caressing the dog.

She bent her head, looking at the puppy. Her usual sharpness was gone, replaced by a touch of tenderness.

Lewis slowly walked over to her.

Feeling his shadow, she raised her head.

The moment she looked his way, Lewis moved the corner of his mouth, raising a smile he believed was

gentle.

However, Keira got up and looked at him warily. “Mr. Horton, is your mouth twitching?”

Lewis was speechless.

Slowly withdrawing his smile, he saw her obviously

relieved expression. He was rather embarrassed. He took a deep breath and said, “Grandma asked me to accompany you to walk the dog.”

“Okay.”

The clumsy puppy ran toward the park, with them closely following behind.

A cold wind blew, and Keira shivered.

The temperature had dropped sharply that day, and she wasn’t prepared for it.

Just as she was rubbing her arms and thinking about returning to the room soon, a large warm coat was suddenly placed on her shoulders.

Keira stiffened. She slowly turned her head to see Lewis standing there, wearing a shirt. His gaze was fixed elsewhere, looking somewhat awkward.

Keira smiled. “Thanks.”

“You’re welcome,” Lewis said indifferently. “I’m mainly afraid that if you catch a cold, you’ll infect Grandma.”

Keira couldn’t help but laugh quietly.

She thought this man was really tough.

as

they stood there awkwardly, a voice suddenly

came. “Mr. Horton?”

When Keira turned her head, she saw Frankie standing

in the park, looking gloomy at her sight.

Keira was perplexed.

Lewis stepped forward, blocking Keira. “What’s the matter?”

“Can we talk in private?”

Frankie took another long look at Keira and walked to

the side.

He didn’t look too happy.

Just after returning to the ward, he heard that his sister was quite concerned about the first time she asked for help and was told by a passerby that an infatuated woman should die.

Even during the surgery, his sister had lost the will to

live because of this!

He was very angry!

When Lewis came over, Frankie asked with a frown, “What’s your relationship with this Miss Olsen?”

71 Open Your Eyes

Lewis coldly replied, “Mr. Allen, this has nothing to do

with you.”

Frankie took a deep breath, “Anyway, you’re my aunt’s son. Seeing that you and her seem to be more than casual acquaintances, I felt I should remind you to keep your eyes open. This woman is not a good person!”

“There’s no relation between our two families. Mr. Allen, you don’t need to worry about me.”

The tone of Lewis’s voice had grown even colder as he said, word by word, “Moreover, I think the one who should keep their eyes open should be you.”

Frankie paused, “What do you mean?”

72 Banquet

Lewis didn’t say anything more and turned to leave.

Frankie frowned and said, “Lewis, how could you be so ungrateful? You….”

Before he could finish his sentence, Lewis abruptly halted and whipped his head around.

His gaze revealed a glimmer of sullen anger. His expression was dark and terrifying, like a fiend

crawling out from hell, making Frankie choke on his

words.

Lewis stared at him, his voice low yet ominous in the evening air. “Mr. Allen, our relationship is purely business. You’ve crossed the line.”

Having left these words behind, he briskly walked

away.

Frankie stood rooted in shock, his face taut.

In this collaboration, Lewis was seen as cold but gentlemanly, and the latter quality made Frankie forget that once upon a time, Lewis had a reputation for being ruthlessly malevolent and aggressive.

72 Banquet

Frankie had thought it was all rumors, but Lewis’s

fierce countenance just now made Frankie realize he wasn’t one to be trifled with.

As Frankie kept his eyes on Lewis, he saw the aggression that threatened to overflow from Lewis fading away as he approached Keira.

By the time Lewis returned to her side, he was just that slightly cold-hearted normal man once more.

Draped in Lewis’s jacket, Keira was no longer feeling

the chill.

The well-tailored black suit was warm from his body heat. It enveloped her and subtly gave off a masculine

scent of vanilla.

Her heart became tender.

Seeing that Lewis was only wearing a black shirt, she picked up the little puppy. “Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

It was the following morning.

Lewis had gone to work. Keira was basking in the

72 Banquet

warmth of the sunlight from her spot on the sofa, finally wrapping up the research on Alzheimer’s disease. After sending the email to the overseas biopharmaceutical research base, she stood up and stretched.

She picked up her phone, only to find a WhatsApp message from Rebecca. “Miss Olsen, do you have time tomorrow night? Can you come to see me?”

Keira replied. “I’ll be attending the celebration dinner of the Horton and Allen family tomorrow evening.”

Just as she finished sending the message, a call came in from Samuel. “Boss, we’ve encountered a bit of trouble with our project.”

Keira asked calmly, “What happened?”

Samuel responded angrily, “We’ve always purchased our hydrogen energy materials from the Allen family. I intended to purchase more today, but they’re suddenly not selling it to us! With the burgeoning development of new energy, production can’t keep up with demand. Even if we want to buy from other suppliers, it’ll take time… The problem is, we’ve agreed on delivery dates with our customers, and if something stalls us, we’d be

breaching the contract!”

Keira frowned. “The Allen family in Clance?”

She had always entrusted her company’s matters to Samuel to manage, whereas she was only responsible for technical issues, so she never expected her company to have dealings with the Allen family.

Samuel replied, “Yes, them. I’ve always bought from them. I tried prying for information from their sales manager. They haven’t lined up another buyer, but someone from the top apparently ordered not to sell

to us!”

Keira lowered her gaze. “I understand. I’ll go ask.”

After hanging up, she got up and headed toward the rehabilitation ward.

She was friends with Rebecca and on good terms wit her parents, so she decided to ask them directly, in case someone was stirring up trouble.

Not long after reaching the hospital ward, she ran into Frankie by chance.

It seemed he had just returned and was about to go upstairs.

72 Banquet

Keira quickened her pace and called out, “Mr. Allen,

hello.”

Frankie halted and turned his head. His gentle demeanor turned noticeably frosty upon seeing her.

Keira asked in confusion, “I’m Dr. South. My company has been continuously purchasing hydrogen energy materials from your company. However, your company suddenly announced this month that it would no longer sell to us. Is there a misunderstanding?”

“No misunderstanding.”

Frankie’s face was cold, his eyes filled with disdain. “It was my order. We won’t sell anything to you.”

Keira was taken aback, “Why?”

Frankie frowned. “Miss Olsen, have you already forgotten what you casually said?”

Keira was confused.

Did she accidentally say something wrong when she was accompanying Rebecca?

But she had no recollection of such an incident. Moreover, every time Rebecca ended their

conversation she seemed quite cheerful and even inst

now she was messaging her…

Keira couldn’t recall anything and said, “Even if I did say something wrong, Rebecca probably doesn’t hold a grudge. So, in consideration of the little favor I did for Rebecca, can you not be petty, Mr. Allen?”

A little favor…

At those words, Frankie mistakenly assumed she was referring to helping out with witness testimony at the police station, given that making a call to save

someone was worth merit.

Frankie reprimanded, “How dare you mention Rebecca? You ought to help her with the testimony! That’s the duty of every citizen!”

Keira was displeased, her voice turned cold. “Mr. Alle nothing should be taken for granted.”

Frankie was even angrier. “You’re right, so the Allen family also doesn’t have to sell the hydrogen energy materials to you.”

Keira took a deep breath.

Initially, when she met him for the first time at the hospital, she thought Rebecca’s brother wasn’t half

10

bad, but she didn’t expect him to turn on her so cold-heartedly.

Before she could say anything else, Frankie had already strode into the rehabilitation department, with his assistant stationed at the entrance, “Miss, please keep your voice down and avoid disturbing the patient’s

rest.”

Keira was shocked.

The fury welled up within her, and she turned around

to leave.

Forget it. She would properly address the issue with

Mr. and Mrs. Allen at the dinner tomorrow.

Time soon came to the next evening.

Both the Horton Group and the Allen family’s new project were major billion-dollar deals, hence it was quite a grand celebration.

They had organized a large celebration dinner at the Imperial Hotel.

A considerable number of employees from the Horton Group attended, and some people also flew in from Clance on behalf of the Allen family.

Back in the hospital,

Rebecca got dressed up and was lifted into a wheelchair by Frankie.

Mr. Allen sighed. “You always hated these kinds of events. Why are you insisting on going today?”

Mrs. Allen also advised, “Don’t go if you don’t want to. If you don’t want to be alone, I will stay with you.”

Rebecca seemed dispirited, her expression was quite downcast. Looking at her phone, she said, “Since yesterday, Miss Olsen has been distant with me. When I asked her to come to see me, she made an excuse to decline, so I have to go to the banquet to find her! Let’s

go now.”

Frankie pushed her out of the room and to the parki

lot.

Just as he was about to lift her from the wheelchair

into the car, a Bentley drove by.

The Allen family turned to look and saw Keira and Lewis sitting in the back seat of the Bentley.

Rebecca brightened up and said, “Miss Olsen!”

73 Match Made in Heaven

At Rebecca’s words, Mr. Allen and Mrs. Allen also

looked carefully, seeming to catch a glimpse of Keira’s lovely face.

They also wanted to greet her, but the Bentley never stopped and directly drove past them.

Mr. Allen was taken aback. “Seems like it was indeed

Miss Olsen?”

Mrs. Allen also agreed. “I think I saw her as well.”

Frankie frowned.

The one sitting in Lewis’s car could only be Keira, not

Isla.

He looked at Rebecca, “Was that Miss Olsen, the one who has helped you?”

“Yes!” Rebecca said excitedly. “Hurry up and catch up with her! I want to attend the banquet with her!”

Frankie clenched his jaw.

Could it really be Isla in the car?

As the whole family got into the car and chased after

20.34

1/9

the Bentley, it was already out of sight. Rebecca instructed the driver, “Drive faster. We might run into Miss Olsen before entering the banquet!”

The driver sped up and indeed saw the Bentley again before entering the Imperial Hotel.

Unfortunately, the Bentley went directly into the

employees’ parking lot, while their car was stopped

outside.

Frankie consoled Rebecca. “We can meet her at the

banquet.”

Rebecca appeared disappointed. “I guess that’s the only choice.”

The Imperial Hotel was also part of the Horton Gro so Lewis’s car was parked directly in the employee

area.

After Keira got out, she followed Lewis. She noticed something wasn’t right as they walked on.

It didn’t seem to be the way to the banquet but to a

hotel suite..

She paused slightly.

Lewis seemed to have sensed it and turned to look at

her as if asking her what was wrong.

Keira hesitated. “Where are we going?”

“The suite,” Lewis answered simply.

Keira’s heartbeat accelerated. “What for?”

Before Lewis could speak, Tom, who was following them, replied instinctively, “Of course, it’s for your makeup and dress for the evening! It was inconvenient in the hospital, so we booked a suite!”

Keira was speechless.

Only then did she realize she had been overthinking.

She cleared her throat to conceal her embarrassment

“I see.”

Seeing this, Lewis glanced at her as if seeing through her thoughts, a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his

mouth.

Keira felt hot and her cheeks slightly flushed.

She quickly diverted her gaze.

She felt she was rather wishful thinking.

10 34

later, so what was she thinking just now?

Tom even asked back, “What did Miss Olsen think we were going to do?”

Keira lowered her eyes, her cheeks redder, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Just as she was trying to pretend to be calm, Lewis had already changed the subject. “Has the makeup artists arrived? How are the preparations for the dress?”

Tom quickly replied, “They arrived early. As for the dress, since we didn’t know what Miss Olsen would like, we prepared over a dozen for her to choose from…”

Keira breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

The three of them soon arrived at the presidential suite on the top floor.

The makeup artist respectfully asked, “Miss Olsen, which dress do you prefer?”

Keira frowned slightly. In front of her were rows of luxurious dresses in all kinds of colors and styles, making it a dazzling array.
