How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 244 - Chapter 244 Chapter 244

Chapter 244: Chapter 244 Chapter 244: Chapter 244 The name “Stubborn Fifth” was used only by two people: Mr. Horton and another person.

That was Little Bun!

After being abducted by human traffickers, he sensed that the traffickers intended to kill him, so he was extremely secretive about his own name, never even telling Little Bun.

He simply said that he was the fifth child at home, and the elder called him Stubborn Fifth.

But wasn’t Little Bun Madeleine Davis?

When had Madeleine Davis sent him a package?

Lewis Horton looked at the family driver with confusion and asked, “When was this package sent? Did the elder forget to give it to me?”

The driver scratched his head: “No, it arrived the night before last. The old man asked me to rush back overnight to deliver it to you personally, saying it was very important and that you had mentioned it before.”

It arrived the night before last…

Could it be that it was sent by Madeleine Davis before she jumped?

Lewis Horton suddenly felt a heaviness in his heart.

He lowered his gaze and took a deep breath, “I see.”

He re-entered the study, his eyes landing on the package… then he walked over and picked up the package box.

Inside was a box, wrapped tightly in foam.

There was also a letter tucked beside it.

What would Madeleine Davis say in the letter?

This must be her last words, right?

Lewis Horton scoffed, threw the letter back onto the desk, leaned back in his chair, and looked at the marriage certificate and the household registration booklet on the desk.

In the live broadcast, Keira Olsen said that, clearly having made up her mind.

There was no use in him being stubborn anymore.

He picked up the marriage certificate and opened it to look at the photo on it.

The girl was smiling shyly at the camera, with a teardrop-shape mole at the corner of her eye, identical to Keira Olsen’s…

But Lewis Horton suddenly sat up straight.

The girl in the photo wasn’t her!

Keira Olsen’s gaze was determined; she had never shown such shyness or timidity, someone might mimic Keira Olsen’s appearance, but they could never replicate her essence.

Lewis Horton tensed his jaw.

Even if this woman was an imposter, legally, the marriage certificate was real…

While Lewis Horton was mulling over this, someone knocked on the door.

He looked up and saw Old Mrs. Horton, trembling and walking in with the support of Fiona.

Lewis Horton immediately stood up: “Grandma…”

Old Mrs. Horton sighed, “Brat, is your wife going to divorce you?”

Lewis Horton didn’t speak.

Old Mrs. Horton then said, “Brat, some things you need to pick up and let go. If you can’t resolve the issue with Madeleine Davis, then you can’t drag your wife into it. Otherwise, what is she supposed to do? Don’t you see how awkward her situation is now?”

Lewis Horton tensed his jaw again.

He never expected that his grandma, who would feign illness every time he mentioned divorce, was no longer supporting him…

His mouth opened as if to say something, yet he didn’t know how to express it…

The struggle and pain in his heart felt as if a monster were viciously tearing through his lungs…

Clenching his fists tightly, his voice hoarse, he said, “Grandma, in this life, besides you, I have no kin, she is the only one, the one person I want to hold on to, I don’t want to let go…”

As he finished speaking, Old Mrs. Horton had already reached him and gently patted his shoulder, “Brat, I agree with your wife’s decision. You’re too sentimental. If your lifesaver just dies like that, you’ll never move on for the rest of your life. It might even become an insurmountable barrier between you and your wife in the future. It’s better to divorce now, set her free, and also give you enough time to deal with Madeleine Davis.”

She smiled faintly, “There’s no need to be so pessimistic. If you and your granddaughter-in-law are meant to be, I believe you will rekindle your past relationship in the future…”

Lewis Horton’s expression turned cold, “But what if she doesn’t give me another chance, Grandma? What if, after the divorce, she falls in love with someone else?”

Old Mrs. Horton fell silent for a moment, eventually sighing helplessly, “That would mean you are destined but not fated. Brat, think about it carefully.”

Leaving these words behind, she turned and left.

The moment the study door closed, Lewis Horton suddenly threw a fierce punch at the wall beside him.

“Bang!”

A bloodstain remained on the wall.

Only then did Lewis Horton turn back and look directly at the marriage certificate on the desk…

In the end, he strode over, put the marriage certificate, identity card, and household registration book all into his pocket.

It was three hours away from two in the afternoon.

And in three hours, Keira Olsen would no longer be Mrs. Horton…

Lewis Horton let out a low chuckle.

The laugh was haunting, yet filled with misery and helplessness, as well as a despair that was out of his control.

He leaned back in his chair and suddenly swept everything off the desk onto the floor!!

He then hugged his head tightly.

His fists were trembling.

Ironically, the box fell to the ground and opened, and the Jade Ring jumped out, rolling on the floor, making a “rumble” sound.

Lewis Horton was slightly stunned.

Following the sound, he looked over and saw the Jade Ring roll on the floor for several turns before it stopped…

Once he recognized the Jade Ring, his pupils suddenly contracted.

This Jade Ring… wasn’t it said to have been sold by Madeleine Davis’s mother?

How come it’s here?!

This Jade Ring was an heirloom belonging to Old Mrs. Horton and was part of the family treasures, so when Madeleine Davis said it was sold, he had Tom Davis search for it over the years.

If possible, he wanted to buy it back to return to Grandma.

After all, Grandma intended to gift the Jade Ring to her granddaughter-in-law…

So how did the item suddenly appear?

Did Tom Davis find it?

…No, that’s not right!

The Jade Ring was delivered to the old house with the letter!

Could it be that…

Lewis Horton’s pupils shrank, he hastily pushed the chair away, crouched on the floor to move the papers aside, and finally saw the letter he had cast aside.

His hands trembling, he slowly opened the letter…

The handwriting wasn’t Madeleine Davis’s; instead, there was a peculiar sense of familiarity.

That familiarity made Lewis Horton’s heart suddenly fill with an incredible suspicion…

He quickly continued reading the letter…

Then, after seeing the signature, he froze completely in shock!!

The letter read:

“By the way, I didn’t have a name when I was a child, but I do now. My name is Keira Olsen, phone number 183xxxxxxxx. If you come to Oceanion, I’ll treat you to a meal.”
