My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

104 The Truth

Keira didn’t expect Connor to be arrested so soon. She didn’t realize that as soon as she named Connor as the

murderer, Holly had already asked her colleagues at the police station to monitor him.”

So, when the message arrived, the arrest happened swiftly.

What was more, due to the presence of journalists nearby, the whole process was filmed!

When the police, followed by the journalists, arrived at Connor's dormitory, Poppy was causing a fuss, hurling

insults and hitting her nephew repeatedly, all while sobbing and cursing loudly.

“You ungrateful boy, how could you write a letter of forgiveness to Keira? Do you have any respect for yo

deceased father?

“You bastard, you sold your conscience for a bit of money! I'll kill you today! You better retract that letter

immediately! | want that ungrateful creature to rot in jail! She must pay for her actions!

“You damn fool!”

Despite being a man, Connor was rather frail and, surrounded by a crowd of students, he felt unable to fight

back.

Poppy, however, was a middle-aged woman with a strong hand, so Connor was left dodging her strikes and

covering his head, unable to pull away from his aunt's grip.

Fortunately, the arrival of the police provided him with a timely rescue.

Enthusiastically, he blurted out, “Officers, please, take this crazy woman away! She’s assaulting me!”

Unfortunately, the officers simply walked up to him. “Hello, you are suspected of murder. Please coop te with our

investigation.”

Hearing this, both the surrounding journalists and Poppy were dumbfounded.

Poppy regained her composure to speak, “Yes, take him away. Make him retract that letter of forgiveness.

At her words, a nearby journalist inquired,

“Officer, we're confused. Why are you arresting Connor for murder? Shouldn't you be arresting the suspect?”

“Could it be because he was paid for the letter of forgiveness?”

“When will you arrest Miss Olsen? The murder suspect is out on bail awaiting trial. Why are you here arresting

the victim? What's the reason?”

“Have you been pressured by the wealthy family? Is there skind of collusion going on?”

Poppy shouted, “You should be arresting Keira Olsen! She's the murderer! Shoot her!”

Ordinarily, the police wouldn't need to explain their actions to the public, but considering the wides d

repercussions of this case, the officers applied f permission from their superiors before reluctant addressing the

journalists.

At the Horton residence...

Isla was as pale as a sheet. Looking at the resolve on Keira’s face, she felt a pang of fear.

Could it be as she had imagined?

Jake said “Uncle, are you watching? Even the journalists are starting to mention our family! Soon, people will find

out that the wealthy family they're referring to is the Horton family! Are you really going to protect a murderer?”

Lewis spoke in a somber tone, “Did you ever consider why the police are arresting Connor rather than

Keira?”

Jake scoffed. “Why would that be? Surely it’s because they need more evidence from Connor Hill, right? | mean,

Connor Hill can’t be the murderer, can he?”

Isla turned even paler at his words, her gaze fixated nervously on the scene unfolding on her phone scre

Just then, the police officer spoke. “We have evidenc that Connor Hill is the murderer. He has made false

accusations against Miss Olsen, so we're taking him into custody for further interrogation.”

Once these words were spoken, the journalists at the scene were dumbfounded.

Everyone began shouting.

“How is that possible?”

“That's right! The victim is Connor Hill's father! How

could he be the murderer? Isn't this a forced confession? Just to clear that woman's name?”

Poppy, who had just violently confronted Connor, couldn't bear to see her only nephew be executed. She

abruptly stood in front of him, glaring angrily at the officers. “What nonsense are you speaking? How could

Connor kill my brother?! Is this a setup by Keira Olsen? Did she bribe you to frhim?”

The police officers remained stoic and serious. “We won't be lenient with any criminals, nor would we wrongfully

accuse anyone. We have substantial and conclusive evidence.”

“What evidence? Unless you show us, you can’t tak

him away!”

Poppy continued to block Connor.

Connor swallowed hard. Being skilled at deception, he portrayed himself as a victim and pleaded to the

camera. “I didn’t kill him. Aunt, please help me. I've already issued a letter forgiving Keira. What more do they

want from me?”

The journalists were immediately misguided.

They gathered around Connor.

“Right now, we're questioning your judicial fairness. Without sufficient evidence, you can’t take him away!”

“From the sound of it, wasn’t the letter of forgiveness given involuntarily? There must be sconspiracy!”

“Until this point, we've been stationed outside the wealthy H family’s mansion, yet we've seen no sign of any

arrests. Instead, you're arresting the victim. Are speople really above the law? Is your plan to arrest the

victim's family, so there's no one left to protest?”

These uncertain voices cout of the phone.

Jake continued his questioning. “Uncle, did you pressure the police station or are you slandering Connor Hill? Do

you hear that? The public isn’t blind. You can’t protect her with these underhanded tactics! With so many people

watching, will you really

disregard the Horton family’s reputation for this

woman?”

As he questioned, one of the officers took out a phone and played a recording.

The recording captured a conversation between Isla and Connor.

“Isla, don’t worry. | killed my dad! He won't bother you anymore!”

“How could you kill someone? You'll go to jail for that!”

“No, I've framed Keira for it. Isla, I've taken care of both annoying people for you. | did it all for you. Remember

that, I love you...”

Upon hearing these words, Connor shot a disbelieving look at the officers.

At the Horton residence, Isla swayed slightly, almost losing her balance.

She stared wide-eyed and in disbelief at the video on her phone...

How could this be... That was impossible!

How did this recording end up in the hands of the police?!

If Connor was arrested because of this recording,

would he think she was behind it?

But then...

She swallowed nervously, hastily taking out her phone

to call Connor.

Just when she was about to dial, Connor's voice cfrom the phone. “It was Isla! She’s behind it! That damn

woman! | want to see Keira Olsen, | need to speak to

her!!”
