How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 274 - Chapter 274 Chapter 274

Chapter 274: Chapter 274 Chapter 274: Chapter 274 Lewis Horton’s gaze was so intense that it bewildered everyone who got out of the car.

Kiera Olsen, holding Amy in her arms, stood still without speaking.

Howard, however, was startled.

Facing Lewis Horton’s stance, especially with the group of bodyguards that seemed to want to surround them and not let a single one escape…

Was he here to settle scores?

Or had he found a taste for pleasure last night and come looking for Keera?

He swallowed nervously and subconsciously looked toward Howard’s mother.

Howard’s mother also took a step back, suddenly pushing Kiera Olsen forward, shoving her out in front as a shield.

Then she said, “Mr. Horton, we were deceived by her too last night, all of this was her scheming, it has nothing to do with us…”

As soon as she uttered those words, Lewis Horton’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Seeing this, Howard immediately nodded in agreement, “Yes, yes, it was all her own idea…”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Lewis Horton stride toward them!

Howard felt his legs go weak with fear.

Wanting to flee immediately, he found his way blocked as his car was already surrounded by the bodyguards in black.

There was no escape!

As Howard turned pale, he saw Lewis Horton approach Kiera Olsen, his deep gaze on her as if he couldn’t bear to look away from her face for even a second, his voice low and husky, “Kiera, I’m here to take you home.”

Kiera Olsen pursed her lips.

She didn’t know if Lewis Horton could recognize her, for, after washing off the iodine from her face, she had deliberately concealed the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye.

Howard and his mother hadn’t noticed any anomalies for the past two days…

Kiera Olsen pretended to be nervous, hugging Amy a bit tighter, which made Amy immediately cry out, “Mommy, I’m scared!”

Kiera immediately soothed her by lifting her slightly, “Don’t be scared, Amy, don’t fear, Mommy’s here…”

Her eyes appeared aggrieved, anxious, and a bit coy–the very picture of a vulnerable girl facing the man from a one-night stand.

On the way back, she had already thought about how she should deal with him.

Lewis Horton would definitely investigate her after waking up.

The existence of Keera was beyond doubt; the more he investigated, the more he would realize she was Keera.

Indeed, Lewis Horton’s gaze became hesitant as he looked at her, his fingers gripping tightly, his voice low and slow, “Are you… Keera?”

The pronunciation of ‘Ge ‘ (Ge) and ‘Ge ‘ (Keera) was different.

Kiera Olsen was sure he was asking about “Keera,” so she nodded, anxiously biting her lip, her eyes barely daring to meet his, “Mr. Horton, is there something you need?”

She played the part of a meek homemaker to perfection.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Lewis Horton continued to watch her.

He stared hard at her face as if looking at her, yet as if seeing someone else…

The Kiera Olsen he knew was always haughty, proud like a peacock, never this abject.

Lewis Horton’s eyes fell, “You’re really not her.”

With these words, he turned away dejectedly.

These words made Kiera Olsen breathe a sigh of relief.

Lewis Horton went straight into the car, and the door of the black stretch Bentley slowly closed, followed by the window opening again, as Lewis Horton appeared there, suddenly looking toward her, “About last night…”

Kiera Olsen immediately waved her hands, “Last night was just a misunderstanding… I entered the wrong room… Sorry, so sorry!”

Lewis Horton’s look turned colder.

He nodded, then finally rolled up the car window.

The car slowly started and drove past Keira Olsen and Howard.

By the time the car had left, the rest of the bodyguards immediately got into their vehicles and followed behind that car. In a matter of moments, about a dozen people had left from in front of the South Family’s villa.

Only after the last black sedan had disappeared around the corner did Howard and Howard’s mother come back to their senses.

Just then, Howard had been terrified looking at all those bodyguards, feeling regret for his actions from the day before!

Had he been so blinded by foolishness to think he could actually plot against Lewis Horton?

But when Lewis Horton had left so casually, Howard furrowed his brow and turned to Keira Olsen to say, “Why didn’t you take advantage when Mr. Horton mentioned last night’s matter? Why didn’t you ask for some benefit?”

Howard’s mother also immediately made a face and said, “Exactly, why are you being so cheap? Just letting yourself be slept with for nothing? Even a prostitute knows to collect payment, what about you?”

Keira Olsen’s eyes turned slightly cold.

She was about to retort with sarcasm but then suddenly realized that Lewis Horton might still be nearby, so the words that reached her mouth changed to, “I, I was just too scared… Aren’t you scared? Mr. Horton seemed like he might devour someone… How could you dare to plot against him?”

Howard choked on these words.

He coughed and retorted, “Totally embarrassing. We finally had this connection with Mr. Horton, and you couldn’t even capitalize on it! No wonder the company is in such a state under you!”

Howard’s mother expressed her confusion, “Son, what exactly did Mr. Horton mean just now?”

Howard frowned and said uncertainly, “He arrived here earlier than us, which means he must… care, right? But then he didn’t show any… indication.”

Howard’s mother looked at Keira Olsen again and said, “It’s all because of this useless piece of trash! Unable to conceive a grandson, we sent you to do some PR for the company, and even that you can’t manage properly. I really don’t understand what you are good for!”

Swearing and grumbling, she and Howard entered the house.

Keira Olsen followed behind them, then suddenly turned back to look in the direction where Lewis Horton had just disappeared. After a long moment, a glimmer of darkness flickered in the depths of her eyes.

…

The black Bentley luxury car slowly exited the gates of the villa district.

Tom Davis sat in the passenger seat. He had been startled when he first saw Keera’s appearance. He glanced at the boss in the back seat.

Seeing his cold expression, Tom couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, doesn’t this Keera resemble Miss Olsen too much? Apart from lacking the teardrop mole, they are almost identical! Can there really be people this similar in the world? Or are they actually… twins?”

No sooner had these words fallen than Lewis Horton suddenly ordered, “Stop the car.”

The driver immediately pulled over to the side of the road.

Lewis Horton turned back to look at the villa district.

After an indefinite period, he suddenly said, “Let’s go.”

Tom inquired, “Back to Oceanion?”

“No.”

Lewis Horton suddenly turned his head to look out of the window, “The first branch has been spreading rumors within the company, claiming I don’t have the ability to lead the Horton Family into Clance. If that’s the case, let them see that I merely choose not to engage with Clance’s market, not that I can’t!”

Tom was confused, “But Boss, you didn’t say that before…”

The Boss had already made a name for himself overseas, so how could he possibly not be able to break into Clance?

When the first branch had been spreading rumors, he had been furious and wanted to request to undertake the Clance initiative himself but was rejected by the Boss.

He had said not to care about others’ opinions.

So why care now?

And to personally spearhead the venture?

This… was this not an overkill?

While thinking this, he hadn’t finished speaking when confronted with Lewis Horton’s icy gaze, and he immediately nodded, “Yes, Boss.”

Lewis Horton’s jaw tensed as he issued another order, “Have someone keep an eye on the South Family.”

“Yes.”

Tom knew the Boss was suspecting something.

That face, identical to the lady’s, not only made the Boss suspect, but he himself also did. Unfortunately, that man was too different from the lady…

Sigh, if only Keera were indeed the lady, then perhaps the Boss could come back to life.
