My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 9

The receptionist personally escorted Isla to the elevator.

While waiting for the elevator, Isla noticed that Keira hadn’t left and was sitting on the couch in the lobby, obviously not intending to leave.

How shameless.

Isla glanced at the receptionist. “You guys really have it tough. I will mention to Jake about giving you a raise…”

Joy appeared on the receptionist’s face, “Thank you, Miss Olsen! Please feel free to instruct me if you need anything!”

Isla sighed. “My little sister is really stubborn. Please don’t let her wait until Mr. Horton comes…”

After saying these words, Isla entered the elevator.

As the elevator doors closed, she could see the receptionist walking toward Keira. The corner of Isla’s mouth curved into a triumphant smile.

Did Keira really think she would get Mr. Horton’s attention just because of her good looks?

How foolish.

The world of the wealthy is ruled by interest, not by emotions.

Jake had pursued Keira for four years and had been so in love with her. Still, he ended up proposing to Isla…

All of this happened because Isla had what was needed to marry into the Horton family!

The elevator quickly reached the 68th floor. When Isla entered the office, she had returned to her usual serene and gentle demeanor.

Jake was in a suit and tie, his youthful naivety from school days replaced by a hint of sharpness. His gaze fell on her face, and he casually asked, “What happened to your face?”

Isla lowered her gaze. “Keira hit me…”

Jake warned her, looking displeased, “I’ve told you before. Don’t provoke her.”

Isla said, “It was my fault.”

She moved to Jake’s side. “Jake, I heard your new project is about renewable energy?”

Jake looked at her seriously. “Yes, if the Horton Group cannot come up with the latest technology, we’ll be surpassed in the future.”

Isla smiled and said, “I made a dining arrangement with Dr. South and my mother. Shall I ask Dr. South to join your research and development team?”

Jake’s expression eased up. “That would be great.”

His attitude shifted. He draped his arm around Isla’s waist, gently caressing her cheek. “Indeed, Keira was so unruly. Does it still hurt? I’ll blow on it for you…”

Isla lowered her eyelids, pretending to act shy.

But inside, she was laughing coldly.

With connections like Dr. South, what could Keira use to compete with her?

As for who Jake really loved…

She didn’t care!

All she wanted was to marry into the Horton family and become Mrs. Jake Horton!

Even if her real identity was revealed in the future, her wealth and status would be secured…

In the lobby downstairs.

Keira sent her address to “Grandson”.

The old lady was now living at her place, so it indeed made sense to clarify the responsibilities with the old lady’s family ahead of time to avoid future trouble.

She was about to arrange a meeting time with the person when her surroundings dimmed.

The receptionist stood in front of her with two security guards and said arrogantly, “You cannot sit here. You’re hindering my work. Please leave immediately.”

Keira’s expression turned icy.

The sofas in the lobby were for anyone to sit on as they pleased. Moreover, she wasn’t making a sound. How could she be affecting the receptionist’s work?

Keira leaned back lazily. “If your work is so easily affected, perhaps you should find a private office.”

The receptionist stammered. Enraged, she ordered the security guards, “Kick her out immediately!”

Before the security guards could even move, the noisy lobby suddenly grew quiet.
