My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

107 Confirm

Keira’s eyes flashed with a bright light, and she felt as if her life had suddenly burst into splendid color.

Could it be as she had guessed?

Mrs. Olsen was her mother...

Only this reason could explain why Isla had been blackmailed by Finley for so many years, and also why Connor

would say that Isla had stolen Keira’s life.

Keira felt a seed of hope deep within her suddenly take root and sprout rapidly.

“If you say it is, then it is.”

However, Connor spoke up, his eyes showing a hint of relaxation.

His sudden change of demeanor made Keira frown, unable to grasp his intentions for a moment.

Connor was like a rat in the dark. After killing Finley, he put on an act of unjust fear, deceiving both Captain

Lincoln and Holly.

At this moment, his demeanor made Keira uncertain

of the truth.

But she wasn’t in a hurry. “Connor, I'll find out after a DNA test. What use is there in hiding it so well?”

Keira stood up straight, narrowing her eyes. “You always said that your dad treated you badly and that you're

burdened by so much debt, which is why you killed him, but you've always known, haven't you? Isla was forced

by your dad to tutor you. Your dad had so much gambling debt, yet you always had money for school fees and

living expenses, even if it was meager. Even in the end, your dad told you that secret, also wanting you to

continue blackmailing Isla...

“So, it's not that you had no choice. You've always been a bad person...”

Upon hearing this, Connor suddenly looked up, his gaze frighteningly fixed on her.

But Keira had already turned and left the interrogation room. She nodded to Holly, who then had people take

Connor to the detention center.

Keira asked, “What sentence will he receive?”

Holly said, “Death sentence with a suspension, usually. When the execution is suspended he won't be

the end.”

“As long as he doesn’t die.”

Keira said, “If | guessed wrong, that secret still has to be squeezed out of him in the end.”

Unable to help herself, Holly asked, “Isn't he

completely devoted to Isla? Will he still talk?”

Keira glanced at her. “You really don’t know Isla very

well.”

Holly paused, then turned her head away. “Back in middle school, | only knew you, and she was only your

sister...”

Speaking of the past, Keira couldn’t help but probe, “Back then...”

Holly stiffened slightly.

Keira knew she cared a lot about the events of that year, so she said softly with downcast eyes, “Back then, |

didn’t mean to deceive you!

Holly's eyes immediately reddened. “Then why didn’t you properly take the middle school examination? We had

an agreement to get into the best high schools

together and to study hard together. | know how excellent your grades were!”

Keira gave a wry smile. “Can’t you just think of it as a performance slip?”

“No!” Holly Sims said earnestly, “You had already self-studied the high school curriculum in middle school. You

could have done well even with one eye closed. How could you not do well in your exam?”

Keira sighed silently.

Although she moved out from the Olsen family during

middle school, she and Isla were still at the same

school.

Back then, during the middle school exams, she had agreed with Holly to get into the best high school.

But the night before the exam, Poppy cto her, demanding that she not take the exam. If she dared to tangle

with Isla and attend the shigh school, Poppy wouldn't let her off the hook.

Keira feared that telling Holly in advance might affect her performance.

She just made sure she got a score that was low

enough.

After the results cout, she tried to explain, but Holly just wouldn't listen to her.

Later on, Keira was busy working part-tjobs to earn money for living expenses and tuition and gradually lost

contact with Holly.

But Holly was the first female friend in Keira’s life, and Keira always thought of her.

She lowered her head and explained, “You saw it for yourself. Poppy is my mother, and she practically wishes me

dead. She wouldn't letand Isla attend the shigh school.”

Holly immediately said, “Then you could have told me, and we could have attended an ordinary high school

together.”

“Holly Sims,” Keira Olsen suddenly called out her ngravely, then slowly lifted her head. “You were born a

specially privileged woman, but my life was in

shambles to its very core. | couldn't bear the weight of your dreams and brilliant life.”

Holly was stunned.

During the university entrance exams, she had seen too many young couples, who, despite scoring high, would

choose a mediocre university for the sake of

love.

Back then, it felt romantic.

But only after leaving school did she realize how naive

that had been.

She suddenly understood Keira, and her eyes becteary. “I understand now.”

Keira patted her shoulder and continued to head out.

Holly suddenly asked in a muffled voice, “How about your wedding banquet with Mr. Horton? Was it a lot of

fun?”

Keira paused.

Holly continued. “We'd agreed that when either of us got married, we would be each other's bridesmaid. You

thought | had blacklisted all your contact information, huh? That's why you didn’t call me..."

Keira felt a warmth in her eyes. “We haven't even had a wedding ceremony yet.”

“What?” Holly lifted her head her eves suddenly

lighting up. “That's good.”

After saying so, she felt embarrassed, so she looked upward. “Um, | don’t mean you have to haveas your

bridesmaid. I'm saying, when you got married, at least you could sendan invitation...”

“But | do want you to be my bridesmaid,” Keira said jokingly. “So, Miss Holly Sims, can you unblock me?

Otherwise, how am | supposed to send an invitation?”

Holly immediately muttered, “I've already done that...”

She sulked all summer but already unblocked Keira’s number in their freshman year of high school.

But Keira had never reached out to her.

Keira didn’t catch what she said. “What?”

Holly looked up, saying pretentiously, “I said, | would let you off. But if you wantto be your bridesmaid, you

have to prepare a big bonus.”

“Okay.”

Keira smiled, teasing Holly. “Then you'd better not dress too beautifully that day. Don’t steal my thunder.”

Holly Sims instantly blushed. “What are you talking

about? I'm busy. I've got to go.”

After she ran off, Keira Olsen finally stood up straight.

Turning around, she caught sight of Lewis standing there, quietly watching her.

Keira thought about what she had just said to Holly about the wedding and instantly felt uneasy. She

hurriedly explained, “Mr. Horton, don’t misunderstand. | didn’t mean | don’t want a divorce...”

Lewis's eyes were brooding, and he lowered his

The two left the police station and got into the car. Lewis asked, “Are we going to the Olsen family?” “Yes.”

Keira couldn't wait any longer. She needed to get a DNA test with Mrs. Olsen!
