My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Chapter 150 - 150:  Disappointment

Keira knew that no matter what she said, these people wouldn't believe her.

Just like the class reunion a few days ago...

She didn't plan to make empty claims. Instead, she took out evidence, hoping to convince Mrs. Olsen of her innocence.

She looked at Mrs. Olsen and slowly said, "Ma'am, Mr. Horton and I truly are..."

Before she could finish, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and snatched her marriage certificate from Mrs. Olsen's hand.

Isla's shrill voice interrupted her. "Do you think that just by producing a marriage certificate, you can prove your claim? Keira, do you take everyone for blind fools?"

Without even looking at the document, she attempted to tear it apart, but her manicured nails prevented her from exerting any strength. Frustrated, she threw it violently onto the floor and repeatedly ground it under her high heels.

Keira's pupils contracted, and she immediately grabbed Isla's arm, her other hand swinging down at her!

"Smack!"

The loud slap echoed in the hallway. Unlike the slap Mrs. Olsen had delivered before, this time a visible handprint welled up on Isla's face.

With a fierce look in her eyes, Keira stared at her. "Isla, I could call the police right now and accuse you of destroying national documents, and you would end up in jail."

At these words, Isla's fingers tightened, but a glance at Mrs. Olsen bolstered her confidence. "Go ahead, call the police, and why not summon some reporters too? Let everyone see whether it is you, the adulteress and homewrecker who should be denounced and vilified, or whether I, the defender of justice, should be blamed!"

Keira said forcefully, "I've said it before, I am not the 'other woman', Lewis and I are..."

"Smack."

Suddenly, something brushed across her face.

Keira was stopped mid-sentence, and she froze in place, and in disbelief. She slowly turned her head to look at the one who had struck her—Mrs. Olsen.

Mrs. Olsen's eyes were red, her body trembling slightly as she stared at Keira, "Keira, if you still listen to me, leave this place with me now!"

Keira's eyes widened in astonishment.

Actually, it didn't hurt at all...

Mrs. Olsen hadn't had the heart to hit hard, and her cheek had only been grazed.

Having been beaten by Poppy from a young age, this slap was indeed the lightest she had ever received in her life...

Yet Keira had never felt as heartbroken as she did at this moment, the pain so severe that for an instant she struggled to breathe.

Clenching her fists tightly, she stared in shock at Mrs. Olsen and after a long moment found her voice again, "...You don't believe me either?"

Mrs. Olsen hadn't expected to strike her either. She looked down at her trembling fingers and let out a bitter smile upon hearing Keira's words.

She had always believed in Keira's character. As a child, Keira would rather starve and rummage through garbage bins for food than casually take a cake left out on the table, even if she was nearly dying of hunger...

Back then, Mrs. Olsen had admired Keira immensely.

And gradually, she took her to heart.

But she had never expected her to do something like this...

Mrs. Olsen had already made inquiries and learned that Lewis got married two years ago, but Keira had only registered her marriage this year. She simply couldn't imagine the two being husband and wife.

And the photographs that Isla showed her last time weren't edited; they were real...

In those photos, the intimacy and the looks in the eyes of Keira and Lewis clearly showed they had feelings for one another...

So how could she possibly believe Keira?

Mrs. Olsen closed her eyes, feeling dizzy from anger. Overcome with a sense of powerlessness, in the end, all she could say to Keira was, "Leave..."

Keira was stunned. "Mrs. Olsen, it's not what you think, Mr. Horton and I..."

Isla felt immense satisfaction upon witnessing this scene.

Keira was too capable of fighting back, making Isla always feel powerless in front of her.

But there was one person whom Keira would never retaliate against, and that was Mrs. Olsen!

She said sarcastically, "Didn't you hear what my mom said? She wants you to leave. She never wants to see someone as despicable as you ever again! You and your mother are both shameless homewreckers who shouldn't be seen in daylight!"

Keira continued to look at Mrs. Olsen, "Mrs. Olsen..."

Isla stepped forward, placing herself between her and Mrs. Olsen. "Are you leaving or not? Are you staying here on purpose to upset my mom to death so your own mother can take her place? What exactly are you plotting?!"

As soon as these words fell, Mrs. Olsen went limp, and she was about to collapse to the ground!

"Shirley!"

Taylor quickly approached and steadied Mrs. Olsen's shaky body. He looked around in shock and asked, "What happened?"

Isla immediately said, "My mom can't stand the shame of Keira being here as my uncle's mistress and homewrecker and told her to leave, but she refused, and it upset my mom!" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Upon hearing this, Taylor immediately glared at Keira. "You ungrateful creature! How well has Shirley treated you since you were little? Have you no conscience?!"

Keira looked at them, momentarily not knowing what to say.

She suddenly let out a low laugh, finding it all rather meaningless.

Not a single person was patient enough to listen to her explanations...

She cast down her eyes, her expression indifferent. "Mrs. Olsen, take good care of yourself. There's no need to get angry because of me."

After these words, she turned and walked away.

Mrs. Olsen leaned on Taylor, watching Keira leave, wanting to reach out and call her back, but not knowing what to say...

Isla pointed toward the lounge and said, "Dad, Mom, why don't you go inside and rest for a bit..."

Taylor helped Mrs. Olsen into the room.

After a while, Mrs. Olsen finally regained her breath. Taylor scolded her angrily. "Shirley, why are you getting angry over such an ungrateful daughter? She's not worth your efforts! Her mother had no shame and schemed against me to have her. She has Poppy Hill's blood flowing in her veins. She's selfish and without a moral bottom line..."

Mrs. Olsen's gaze was empty, her heart filled with disappointment.

"You're always strict with Isla, and you always tell me that Keira is better than her. Look at her now. Keira's moral bottom line is far behind Isla's! No matter what, Isla has never reduced herself to being a mistress!

Taylor held Mrs. Olsen's hand. "Shirley, promise me, don't worry about Keira anymore. From now on, stay away from her, and don't upset yourself anymore, alright?"

Mrs. Olsen painfully closed her eyes.

Had this child, Keira, truly gone astray?

She clenched her fists tightly, finding it hard to believe, yet the truth was before her eyes...

Seeing she didn't respond, Taylor simply said, "Are you feeling better now? If you are, then let's go. We've made our presence known today, and that should be enough for the Horton family."

Mrs. Olsen, trembling and unsteady, stood up, and with the support of Taylor, stepped out of the lounge.

By then, the outside had quieted down. Everyone had gone to the front hall.

As the two of them stepped out, they saw a marriage certificate lying lonely on the ground; Mrs. Olsen paused, then took a step forward and picked it up...
