My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 143

143 Aunt 

Isla had already dialed the number after saying that, a triumphant smile on her face as if to reveal the true face of the person in front of everyone. 

Of course, the number she dialed wasn’t the one that 

Keira usually used. 

What Isla didn’t know was that Keira had several 

phone numbers. One was commonly used and also what her acquaintances knew. 

There were also several numbers designated for 

different identities. 

There was one exclusively for Dr. South, one for Nora the researcher, and several more. Sometimes she 

couldn’t even remember which was which, so she 

turned them all off. 

“Contact me via email if there’s anything. Don’t distur 

my normal life.” 

So, when Isla dialed the number, the response from the other end was, “Sorry, the number you have dialed 

is switched off…”

Keira raised an eyebrow. 

Isla, on the other hand, put down her phone but still insisted, “Keira, what are you so proud of? I asked around already, and my aunt doesn’t like to be 

disturbed, which is why she turns off her phone. Since she’s going to attend my great-grandmother’s birthday banquet, that means my uncle is planning to make her identity public! By then, I’ll see how you will deal with 

it!” 

Keira shrugged. “Then you don’t need to worry about 

it.” 

Seeing her unyielding demeanor, Isla suddenly 

laughed, “You don’t really believe, do you, that my uncle holds deep affection for her? Keira, guess who made the call just now that took my uncle away?!” 

Keira was slightly startled upon hearing this. 

Isla went on. “As far as I know, my aunt hasn’t been in good health and had always resided in a sanatorium abroad. During her days back in the country, she has also been staying in a sanatorium, and my uncle went to see her several times. They have deep feelings for each other. Back in the day, to marry her, my uncle

went against everyone’s advice. For him to come here today is a joke! A call from my aunt and he immediately left you!” 

Keira’s fingers tightened. 

Suddenly, she remembered the day she was released from prison and hospitalized. Lewis was called away for an entire night. She also thought about last night when a phone call took him away, and he didn’t accompany her to the Olsens’… 

Plus just now… 

No matter how busy a person’s career was, they wouldn’t encounter emergencies so frequently. 

Unless… 

This emergency was one thing or one person! 

Had he run into some trouble? 

Keira’s brows knitted slightly with worry for Lewis. 

But the concern on her face was misinterpreted by the others. 

Isla immediately laughed. “You have nothing to say now, do you?”

She then looked around at the others, her eyes turning slightly red. “I know, maybe you all think I’ve been too aggressive today, but I just don’t want my aunt to lead a life interrupted by a third party like my mother did. Keira’s mother is the biggest rift between my parents, and it took them a lifetime to mend. Keira, I hope you won’t make any more mistakes. Have a good life with your husband, and don’t let your future children become another rift between my uncle and aunt!” 

Her emotionally charged words made it impossible for anyone at the table to blame her anymore. 

Indeed, Isla herself was a victim, and her targeting Keira seemed somewhat justifiable. 

Even Charles opened his mouth and then closed it again, not sure what to say to defend Dr. South. He eventually only managed a faltering, “I believe Dr. South isn’t that kind of person.” 

Jake scoffed. “Facts speak louder than words! If anyon here doesn’t believe what Isla says, I can send out the invitations! Then everyone can see for themselves who my aunt really is!”

The certainty with which Isla and Jake spoke made everyone feel as if they had to believe them. 

Keira, unable to carry her marriage certificate around to prove these things, simply lowered her gaze and said lightly, “Then we shall wait and see.” 

She had already understood this principle: sometimes, some things one said weren’t necessarily believed by 

others. 

The birthday party ended in discord rather than joy. 

The classmates left one after another, while Professor 

Miller looked at Keira with concern. “Keira, are you 

really married to Mr. Horton?” 

Keira sighed, “Professor, it’s true.” 

Still worried, Professor Miller said, “Keira, you’re still young with a promising future. Just don’t be misled b Mr. Horton’s appearance and go astray.” 

Keira’s mouth twitched, wondering if Lewis knew he was being compared to the likes of a seductress. Would he be infuriated to death? 

After sending off Professor Miller. Keira turned around

and saw Charles looking at her from a short distance. away, his expression hesitant as if he had something to say. Worry was written all over his face, “Dr. South…” 

Keira said, “Just call me Keira. We’re classmates. 

There’s no need to be so formal.” 

Charles cleared his throat. “Well, Keira, if you need any help, just tell me, or if you have any difficulties, you can also confide in me. I’ll help clear things up among our classmates…” 

Keira rubbed her forehead. 

She understood what Charles meant. He had always been the responsible one among their classmates and had shown such excellent quality that Samuel had chosen him to join her company. 

Charles also didn’t believe that she and Lewis were 

married. He was worried that she would be slandered 

and wanted to help her explain… 

Keira sighed. “I saw that Jake gave you an invitation just now, right? Then let’s meet at the banquet.” 

Charles still looked concerned. “Are you sure?” 

“Yes.”

“…Alright.” 

Charles walked away, only half-convinced. 

At that moment, Keira’s phone rang. She picked it up, and Samuel’s voice came through, “Boss, I was going to deal with your classmate Erin, but I found out 

someone beat me to it. She’s been fired by her 

company, and she won’t be able to find work in Oceanion again.” 

A fierce glint flashed in Keira’s eyes. 

She was never one to be bullied. How could she possibly let Erin go after being humiliated by her repeatedly at the banquet today?

It was just a minor punishment to serve as a warning 

to others. 

Keira asked, “Is it possible to find out who helped? 

“There are two forces, one is the Horton family, probably Lewis’s doing. The other is an expatriate named Scott, a well-known real estate tycoon from abroad. He’s been making quite the stir since coming to Crera, but why he would help you, I have no idea.” 

Keira said, “Who knows.”
