How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 280 - Chapter 280 Chapter 280

Chapter 280: Chapter 280 Chapter 280: Chapter 280 Keira Olsen lowered her eyes, hiding the chill at the bottom of her gaze.

She indeed had to act like she didn’t want a divorce and be completely obedient to Howard and Howard’s mother, but that didn’t mean she would let herself be treated so lowly!

Cindy Lloyd’s entry into the house was utterly shameless.

She looked directly at Howard, “The contract that Mary Davis gave you today, it seems like their company hasn’t stamped it yet, has it?”

This made Howard stand up abruptly, “Keera, what are you implying? Are you threatening me?”

Keira Olsen kept her eyes down, “No, it’s just that Mary Davis always hates evil as if it’s a personal enemy, she’s taken a disliking to you for a long time now. If she knew that you brought Cindy Lloyd over, I’m afraid it would cause a lot of problems. Howard, you keep a mistress, a home-wrecker, and I’ve put up with it, but don’t you overstep…”

Howard bringing Cindy Lloyd home indeed had the intention of testing Keera’s limits.

Earlier, when Keera found out he had a mistress, she just had a fight with him, cried her eyes out, but afterward, she didn’t even dare to bring up divorce.

So, he planned to bring Cindy Lloyd home, if Keera still reacted as before, then he could rightfully bring Cindy Lloyd home…

But he didn’t expect Keera to actually threaten him with Mary Davis!

Howard wanted to say something, but he thought of the big order from Mary Davis, and just sneered coldly at Keira Olsen, then he turned to look at Cindy Lloyd, “Cindy, if she can’t cook a decent fish, let’s go out to eat!”

Cindy’s face changed immediately, “The food outside is not clean, pregnant women should eat less takeout~”

Howard’s mother immediately looked at Keira Olsen, “Keera, stop throwing a tantrum here; if you don’t start acting sensibly, I’m going to make Howard divorce you! Then you won’t be allowed to see Amy ever again!”

Keira Olsen still kept her head down, appearing weak and aggrieved, “Mom, Howard, this house was left to me by my parents. This home-wrecker absolutely cannot enter, this is my final bottom line!”

Howard’s mother burst out angrily, “What about later, then? She’s carrying the seed of Howard’s family!”

Keira Olsen looked at them pitifully, “The child can enter this house, but not this woman.”

Cindy angrily said, “You…”

Howard immediately coughed, “Alright, Cindy, let’s leave!”

Cindy wanted to say something more, but Howard glared at her.

Cindy then gave Keira Olsen a resentful look, only to see that this frail woman was defiantly giving her a challenging glance.

Cindy immediately understood, this was Keera declaring war!

Hmph.

Did she really think she could win?

It was just that Howard had recently become so compliant with her after signing a deal with Mary Davis. Once the contract was finalized and both sides were in regular collaboration, she’d see how long Keira could remain arrogant!

Cindy reluctantly followed Howard out.

After the two left, Howard’s mother snorted coldly, “Are you satisfied now? Now go and cook!”

“…Okay.”

Keira Olsen looked very obedient.

In the following days, she tried her best to play the role of a good wife and daughter-in-law; her meals were exquisite and delicious, and both Little Amy and Howard’s mother had gained weight.

When Keira Olsen was at home, she didn’t talk much but was very diligent.

Sometimes, she would even deliberately try to please Howard’s mother.

Several times she overheard Howard’s mother talking to Howard on the phone, “… Keera takes very good care of me! I just dance in the square every day, doing nothing else. She’s much more sensible than before, she often tries to please me too. I’m thinking, after you and her divorce, we can keep her in the house as a maid for me, and we don’t even have to pay a salary, how great would that be?”

Keira Olsen just curled her lips slightly.

It’s easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to return.

In modern society, how could a daughter-in-law possibly wait on her mother-in-law like this?

The more she did now, the more she satisfied Howard’s mother, and the more comparisons there would be when Howard’s mother and Cindy Lloyd lived together after the divorce.

She could almost see it now–once they were living together, their home would be a complete mess…

A month had passed quickly.

In two days, the contract would expire.

It seemed that Howard had no awareness at all that his company couldn’t deliver the technology, and he spent every day living carefree with Cindy Lloyd in their little place outside.

“I’ve got my lawyer all ready,” Mary Davis said excitedly to Keira Olsen, then she looked at her seriously, “Keera, I’m asking you one last time, after a month’s cooling-off period, are you sure you want to divorce him?”

Keira Olsen nodded, “I’m sure.”

“That’s good. I was really afraid you’d go soft, that all these tactics were just to make him change his mind.”

Keira Olsen changed the subject, “By the way, why did you arrange to meet me here today?”

This place was a private restaurant, very quiet, and the decor looked expensive.

Mary Davis raised an eyebrow immediately, “Oh, I’m meeting a blind date here today, so I asked you to come over and keep an eye out for me.”

Keira Olsen: ?

She was taken aback for a moment, “A blind date?”

Mary Davis sighed, “Yes, an arranged marriage! My family situation is actually quite complicated… My parents said this marriage is important, as the other party has high status and wants to ‘select a consort’ in Clance. I’m one of the candidates!”

She propped her chin with both hands, looking a bit defeated, “Keera, actually, sometimes I’m really envious of you. At least when you’re in love, you have your freedom. You wanted to marry Howard and you did, but me…”

Her gaze dropped, “If I can impress this distinguished person today, my parents will have a stronger say at home.”

After saying this, she gave a self-deprecating laugh, then took a makeup mirror out of her bag to touch up her makeup, and then looked at Keira Olsen, “Keera, do I look pretty today? Do you think that distinguished person will be impressed?”

Keira Olsen saw a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

She pressed her lips together and said, “Beautiful. That distinguished person will definitely be impressed with you!”

People from every social stratum have their own troubles.

Prominent families are no exception.

Mary Davis nodded, “I also think that among the beauties of Clance, my looks definitely rank in the top five. Men pursuing me could circle the globe. If he has any taste at all, he would definitely take a liking to me!”

After saying this, she propped up her chin again, “But I’ve heard that his family originally didn’t have any girls, and for the marriage alliance, they picked two girls from a side branch to be raised under the main house. This means if I really marry into that family, I’ll have two difficult younger sisters-in-law to deal with!”

She sighed quietly, “Keera, if only you had a brother, I could just marry him and become your sister-in-law!”

Keira Olsen: “…Who is your blind date?”

Mary Davis sighed resignedly, “One of the five major families of Clance, the young master of the Olsen family, Ellis Olsen.”

Keira Olsen: ??

Mary Davis had just finished speaking when the door to the restaurant was suddenly opened, and Ellis Olsen walked in.

Keira Olsen twitched the corner of her mouth, just about to say something, when she saw a familiar figure following behind Ellis Olsen.

That person was–Lewis Horton!

Keira Olsen was stunned.
