My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

74 Introduction

Oceanion is the hground of the Horton Group.

Thus, as soon as Lewis entered, the executives

swarmed toward him.

Lewis exchanged pleasantries with them, his

peripheral vision darting to Keira, who had slipped

away quietly and distanced herself from him as soon as they entered.

Keira had slid through the crowd like an eel and

hidden herself in the snack area nearby, where she

finally stood upright and began to help herself to sfood.

She thought she was hidden in the corner, oblivious to the fact that she had becthe center of attention.

Lewis was lost in his thought, his hanging hand seemed to still feel the smooth and soft texture of her waist...

He loosened his tie, only to hear the flattering remark from the person in front of him. “Mr. Horton, didn’t Mrs.

Horton calong? You're hiding her too well.

We should meet our first lady at least one time.”

Someone nearby quickly pulled the speaker aside.

Normally, Lewis dislikes people talking too much about his wife. This person had just been reassigned from

another city and wasn’t aware of Mr. Horton's preferences. Would Mr. Horton be angry now?

Unexpectedly, Lewis simply responded noncommittally, “You'll get an opportunity someday.”

Everyone was dumbfounded,

Mr. Horton's attitude had changed!

Rebecca, seeing Lewis entering without Keira, felt a

little disappointed.

She continued to look around.

Frankie said, “I have something good to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“Do you remember the incident when Miss Olsen, the person you first sought help from, not only refused to lend

you a hand but also insulted you?”

Dohanna’s punila contrasted lightly and che lowered

219

her head, responding with a touch of sadness. “I remember.”

When in a dilemma, the anger and accusations from a

stranger could potentially cause a person’s mental state to collapse.

Being scolded back then indeed made her feel desperate.

Frankie slowly said, “I took revenge for you.”

“What?”

“Her company needs to purchase raw materials from us. | cut off her supply chain. She won't be able to procure

the materials she needs anytsoon,” Frankie's voice carried a hint of darkness.

Those involved in business were all cruel.

Rebecca bit her lip. “It wouldn't go that far, right? She might have been impulsive at the moment.”

“Even if she was impulsive, she shouldn't have insulted

anyone at will.”

Jake suddenly emerged from the side, fuming. “I'm sorry, Mr. Allen, | just happened to pass by and overhear your

conversation. | couldn't help but add my

Bi/3]

two cents.”

He looked at Rebecca. “Everyone has to pay for their actions. Even if she’s naturally cold and doesn’t want to

help, she shouldn't have said such words to a person in a predicament. | think Mr. Allen is too kind. This little

punishment is too lenient for her!”

Frankie also gently patted her head. “We should thank young Mr. Horton for this. He informedabout the

collaboration between our two families. Otherwise, | wouldn't have known about this small project.”

Jake laughed. “It’s nothing.”

Rebecca nodded her head in agreement.

She asked, “Where is Miss Olsen?”

Jake chuckled, “She went to the restroom to touch up her makeup.”

Rebecca's eyes lit up. “Mom, let's go and find her.”

Feeling uneasy among strangers, Mrs. Allen didn’t

refuse and pushed Rebecca toward the direction of the

restroom.

As the two arrived at the restroom, they caught Isla

just as she was coming out after touching up her

makeup.

When they brushed past each other, Rebecca turned

her head abruptly to look at her.

Mrs. Allen asked, “What's wrong?”

Rebecca clenched her fists tightly.

She had initially thought that her brother had acted too harshly, thinking that she didn’t hate this woman, but at

that instant, she realized how deeply Isla had

hurt her.

It almost caused her a mental breakdown.

Isla’s comment made her feel as if there was no hope for her future, and there was no point in living.

She clenched her fists tightly, took out her phone, a sent a Whatmessage to Frankie. “Frankie, that woman

is also here. Can you get her to leave? | don’t

want to see her.”

By the tFrankie read this message, Isla had walked

over to them.

She affectionately folded her hands around Jake’s arm and was about to greet Frankie, when she saw him lift his

gaze, a hint of sternness flashing in his eyes. “Has

10

the other Miss Olsen also arrived?”

Jake and Isla both frowned.

The three of them looked around the room, searching for Keira, but the convention hall was quite large, and filled

with people coming and going, so they didn’t see her right away.

Isla inquired, “What's the matter?”

Frankie's face darkened with anger. “Rumor has it that she also cto the feast. What does this mean, young

Mr. Horton? Is the Horton Group looking to embarrass the Allen family?”

Jake replied, “I'll handle it now.”

Keira was relatively quiet in her corner.

Even though she drew a lot of attention, her chilly demeanor and the coldness in her eyes held people bay, with

only a few daring to approach her.

A couple who attempted to engage her had been turned away after a few exchanges.

After a while, Jalen cover with an excited yet

10

aloof expression. “What are you doing here alone? Who did you cwith?”

The last part was said with a sense of blame, obviously assuming that whoever invited her had been

neglectful.

Keira smiled. “Being alone is wonderful. There are no

disturbances.”

“Indeed.”

Jalen seemed to want to say something, but a group of people approached, surrounding Jake. “Young Mr. Horton,

you'll have to guide us more in the future!”

Jake responded with a light smile. “There’s no need to be so formal, I'm just the deputy head of the development

department.”

“You are too humble. We have heard insider news tha

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

plans are underway to promote you to director!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately started congratulating him.

“Young Mr. Horton is so young and has already done so much for the group!”

“Mr. Horton and Mr. Allen don’t get along very well.

They say this collaboration almost didn’t happen. Thankfully young Mr. Horton acted as the mediator. We just

saw Mr. Allen and young Mr. Horton talking happily!”

Jake enjoyed this kind of atmosphere, raising the champagne glass in his hand. “Don’t say that, the project was

initiated by my uncle.”

“Mr. Horton indeed has abilities, but he’s somewhat aloof. If he could be half as amiable as you, all discussions

would be smoother...”

“Yes, yes, our group and the enterprises in Clance have always been unable to establish a connection. If Mr. Allen

could introduce us, the future development scope of our group could be broader!”

Hearing their words, Jalen sneered. “This Jake, | do know what he used to win over Mr. Allen’s favor. He been

acting all high and mighty in the company thes past few days!”

After that, he said in frustration, “My cousin is the most stubborn person! Although it's him who has some

connections with the Allen family, he refuses to

talk properly. It would be great if | could meet

someone from the Allen family. If he doesn’t want to establish a relationship, | can do it for him, to prevent Jake

from slandering him behind his back!”

Listening to his words, Keira glanced around and caught sight of Mr. Allen who was talking to Frankie. She said,

“Let’s go. I'll introduce you to the Allan family.”
