How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire -
Chapter 272 - Chapter 272 Chapter 272
Chapter 272: Chapter 272 Chapter 272: Chapter 272 Keira Olsen arrived at her room and saw Howard’s mother waiting at the door.
She hastened her steps and frowned, “Is Amy asleep?”
“Asleep.”
Howard’s mother’s eyes flickered, and suddenly she pulled out Amy’s milk bottle, “Tonight, Amy absolutely refused to drink her milk. Could you taste if the milk has gone sour or spoiled?”
Keira narrowed her eyes, sensing something was amiss.
She removed her mask, opened the milk bottle, tipped her head back, and ensured the bottle didn’t touch her mouth to prevent bacterial contamination. After taking a sip, she carefully pondered, “It’s not spoiled.”
“Is that so?” Howard’s mother waved her hand dismissively, “Then probably she’s just full and doesn’t want anymore. Perhaps we should switch to a different brand later… You finish up the rest, don’t waste it.”
Keira had gone early in the morning to the Horton Family for the funeral and hadn’t had a chance to eat lunch; she was now ravenous.
She asked with downturned eyes, “Has Mrs. Horton been buried?”
Howard’s mother impatiently replied, “She’s been buried, she’s been buried. Why so many questions? You really think you’re mrs. Horton’s high school classmate now? You’re really into your role! Hurry up and drink, no more dilly-dallying!”
Keira’s eyes flickered, she quickly finished the milk, and prepared to take it into her room to wash the bottle.
Before she could push open the door, Howard’s mother snatched the bottle away, smiling, “I’ll wash it, you’ve had a long day. Go to bed early!”
After that, she took the milk bottle back to her room.
There was definitely something wrong!
Howard’s mother was never usually this eager.
Could “they” have come looking for her?
Due to Keira’s iron deficiency, she had a certain resistance to medications.
She swiped her hotel card, opened the door, and took a few steps forward.
Just as she opened the door, Howard came over, his usual disdain replaced by a somewhat warm expression, “Back already?”
Keira furrowed her brow and before she could speak, Howard chuckled, “It’s getting late, go wash up and sleep… I won’t disturb you anymore!”
He quickly slipped past Keira, leaving just a sentence as he exited, “Amy’s with me, don’t worry. Take good care of the man in your room!”
Keira had already sensed something was off, and at that moment, she grabbed Howard’s arm, blocking his way.
She was determined to see what Howard was up to!
But when she abruptly turned around, and saw the figure sitting on the couch of the hotel room, she was totally stunned!
Lewis Horton!
How could he be here?!
In that moment of shock, Howard had already wrenched away and left the room, following which a “click” of the door being locked sounded.
Keira violently pulled at the door, but Howard was already outside locking up the door with a chain, making it impossible to open!
After doing all this, Howard clapped his hands.
Hearing Keira pushing against the door inside, he immediately said, “Keera, make sure you take good care of Mr. Horton, you’ll bring our company immense benefits, you hear me?! Don’t resist! Did you hear that!”
The expression on Howard’s face was one of smug triumph!
Though he had met Uncle Olsen at the funeral, when Howard messaged him later, he was largely ignored.
So, when he noticed at the funeral that Mrs. Horton and Keera looked very alike, he hatched this plan!
By sending Keera to Mr. Horton’s bed, he could then connect with the Horton Family in the future!!
Howard’s mother appeared behind him. “Son, will this really work?”
Howard sneered, “Mom, isn’t that all there is between men and women? Besides, Keera’s health is poor, and she hasn’t gotten pregnant in the past two years. It’s impossible for her to bear me a son anymore. My future offspring will all depend on Cindy. Keera has a pretty face, which was of no use staying at home before, but now it finally comes in handy. I’m not even afraid of being cuckolded, so what are you worried about?”
Cindy was his mistress, who was now pregnant, and the doctor had diagnosed that it was a boy.
Howard’s mother had always been very attentive to her, awaiting her grandson!
Hearing this, Howard’s mother slapped him lightly. “That’s not what I mean. I’m saying Keera is devoted to you. What if she refuses, wouldn’t that backfire?”
“Rest assured…” Howard smiled smugly, “I’ve just drugged both of them. That drug is potent, most people can’t handle it…”
Howard’s mother then asked, “Speaking of which, why do Keera and Mrs. Horton look so similar? I was shocked after seeing Mrs. Horton’s will. Could they be twins?”
Howard stroked his chin, “Keera is an orphan, adopted by her parents. I guess it’s most likely true, Mom, we really came to the right funeral! I didn’t expect to encounter such an opportunity.”
But Howard’s mother frowned, “If Keera and Mrs. Horton are really twins, couldn’t we use this relationship to connect with Mr. Horton? Why did you still send her to Mr. Horton’s bed?”
Howard waved his hand. “What do you know? Who keeps in touch with their deceased wife’s family? Keera is not good, but you can’t deny she’s really beautiful! By giving her to Mr. Horton, Mr. Horton will appreciate her and definitely keep in contact afterward. Also, by using Keera and Mrs. Horton’s relationship, wouldn’t we have to act according to Keera’s mood later on? But if we hold proof of Keera’s infidelity… heh, heh, later on in this house, whatever I say goes!”
Howard’s mother’s eyes brightened. “Son, you truly are like no other!”
They quietly discussed as they returned to their room.
Inside the room.
Keira Olsen hadn’t heard their voices, but she had already guessed Howard’s intentions.
She couldn’t help but spit in disgust.
Keera, what kind of husband have you found!
“Keira… it really is you!”
Behind her, a man’s voice — low, husky, mixed with disbelief — reached her, making Keira Olsen’s body stiffen!
The mask had long been removed, and it was too late to put it back on now…
Lewis Horton had already seen her face!
Keira Olsen clenched her fists and slowly turned around.
She looked at Lewis Horton, her eyes filled with longing at that moment!
Her mother had been kidnapped…
Her sister had died!
The home she had barely had fell apart.
It seemed that all she had left now was Lewis Horton!
This thought slightly crumbled her spirit, and the agitation within her body didn’t want to be suppressed!
She had been repressing herself too much, and at this moment, she also wanted to vent properly!
Forget the old flame, forget the life saver, just set them aside for now!
With that thought, Keira Olsen walked towards Lewis Horton!
She had only taken a step when her legs suddenly gave out, and she fell into Lewis Horton’s arms…
Lewis Horton had clearly been drugged too; his clear consciousness collapsed upon seeing her face, smelling her familiar scent.
Without restraining his longing, he lowered his head and fiercely kissed her lips!
