My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Lewis had changed into a new suit of the sstyle and as he descended the stairs slowly. There was a

palpable sense of oppression that pervaded the entire banquet hall.

His gaze was intent, and after reaching the bottom of the stairs, he first looked toward the screen before

surveying the surroundings.

He quickly spotted Keira and strode over to her.

But to his surprise, he was intercepted by Poppy.

She rushed in front of Lewis and clung to his lower leg. “Mr. Horton, | am Keira’s mother. You've slept with her, so

you must give her an explanation. You can’t just leave things unresolved!”

Lewis frowned. He wanted to kick her away, but when he remembered that this woman was, after all, Keira’s

mother, he still showed srestraint and merely shook her off before turning his gaze to Tom.

With a wave of Tom's hand, two bodyguards in black immediately rushed over and grabbed Poppy.

Poppy sat on the ground, slapping her thighs and crying., “Cand see, someone is going to murder me! Mr.

Horton slept with my daughter and refuses to take responsibility...”

The next moment, a rag was viciously stuffed into her mouth by Tom!

Poppy couldn't speak a word anymore and only could make muffled whining sounds.

Tom then picked at his ear. “Finally quiet. Your wailing was really annoying!”

This sequence of actions swiftly took care of the

noisiest person at the scene.

Yet Lewis was stopped again by Jake, “Uncle Lewis, with so many executives here, shouldn't you give us an

explanation about what's on the screen?”

Lewis's gaze sharpened as he looked toward him.

Jake swallowed nervously, no longer daring to speak.

Jake's father, Oliver started talking. “Lewis, as the person in charge of Horton Group, you should set an example.

How could you be so reckless and even allow evidence to be captured...”

He sighed. “Today, many reporters are here to cover the grand occasion of your grandmother's birthday

banquet. Even if you can silence us, you can’t silence them. So now, we need a practical plan!”

Lewis remained composed but didn’t rush to explain. Instead, he looked at his brother, “What kind of plan should

we cup with?”

Oliver didn’t speak.

But someone among the executives behind him spoke up. “Mr. Horton, we want to know. Is the photo real?”

Lewis glanced at the photo again, and his expression remained indifferent, “It's real.”

As soon as he said that, the people around immediately started buzzing with conversation.

“Mr. Horton isn’t even trying to hide it? It’s actually

real!”

“Yeah, in such a situation, no matter what, he shouldn't

have admitted it! Now that he has admitted it, what

will he do next?”

“Is Mr. Horton willing to risk everything for this fefatale? He’s even disregarding Mrs. Horton's feelings!”

Speaking of Mrs. Horton, everyone instinctively looked toward Madeleine.

But they saw her continue to step back and then looked at Lewis with eyes full of sorrow.

Lewis, however, didn’t look at her and only focused on the executive. “Anything else?”

“Mr. Horton, we've heard that Miss Olsen is married?”

“Correct.”

Lewis nodded again.,

The executive was taken aback. He had hoped that Lewis would argue for the sake of his reputation, maybe by

saying he was unaware she was married...

The executive said awkwardly, “Did Miss Olsen sedu you? Was that why you couldn’t control yourself fo

moment?”

Lewis lowered his gaze. “No, Miss Olsen and | are in love with each other.”

After those words, the room erupted in an uproar that could blow the roof off. Everyone stared at him in

disbelief.

“My God! Mr. Horton is openly admitting to cheating!”

“Keira sure is beautiful. She has completely enchanted Mr. Horton! She's really something!”

“What a pair of adulterous scum! They have no shat all!”

Even the executive who had asked the question was at a loss for words for a moment.

Oliver frowned. “Lewis, have you lost your mind? You're married, how can you stoop so low with a married

woman?! Every action you take represents the image of the company. You can’t act recklessly and do whatever

you please! Kick that mistress out right now, or else you may not be able to hold onto your CEQO’s position!”

At these words, Keira, who had been standing aside, raised her eyebrows.

She thought to herself how that curtain had mysteriously revealed their presence, so it was the first branch of

the family’s doing, aiming to ruin

Lewis's reputation and pull him down from the CEO's

position!

She found it laughable and couldn’t help but curl her lips into a mocking smile.

Isla said, “Keira, what are you laughing at? Do you think you've stolen my uncle from my aunt? Don’t you have

any sense of decency? | advise you to leave

quickly! Go live a good life with your husband and stop trying to break up my uncle and aunt!”

The people around them were all talking.

“Exactly, I've never seen such an arrogant mistress. Even if Mr. Horton is impressive, the way he’s handled this

situation is utterly contemptible!”

“| used to think Mr. Horton was deeply devoted to his wife, staying away from other women for so many years,

but it was all a facade! It was all an act, right?”

“Oh my, what an eye-opener today! I've seen many mistresses before, but never one who could bewitch

someone to this extent!”

“This Keira is a disaster! A calamity!”

“Keira, if you truly love Mr. Horton, then have the decency to step back. Are you so selfish that for your so-called

mutual love, you would drag Mr. Horton

doum from his nodocto12”

The executives surrounding Lewis were giving him a hard time.

The group of rich ladies surrounding Keira were also accusing her.

Keira frowned, ready to retort with a cold laugh when her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Mrs. Olsen.

Mrs. Olsen was trembling slightly as she stared at Keira. “Keira, I'm asking you one last time, will you leave with
