My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 280

280 The First Step of Divorce

Mary immediately frowned and looked at her.

Keira pursed her lips, trying to make her gaze seem softer.

Mary examined her face back and forth, then suddenly stood up, walked over to her, and touched her forehead.

Keira was dumbfounded.

“You don’t have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense? You refused to tell me who they were back

then, saying it would compromise my safety. Why are you asking me now?”

For the first time, Keira sensed Keera’s caution.

At least regarding this matter, she was very careful.

Keira just said “Right”, her expression unchanged. “I was worried you might have discovered some clue, but it seems you still know nothing. That’s good.”

Sure enough, Mary was led astray. “Keera, you really are too cautious. Didn’t you say? Since you couldn’t even complete their first task, they wouldn’t come looking for you again.”

That remark made Keira momentarily stunned. “The first task?”

“Yes, you said the first task involved someone very important to you, so you refused…”

Someone very important…

Keira frowned. “The very important person to me… who is it?”

Mary immediately rolled her eyes. “Who else could it be? Howard! You two were already together then.”

She then spoke with a strong hint of jealousy. “Anyway, it’s not me.”

After saying that, she couldn’t help but complain. “I considered you my best friend; we’ve been to the same school since kindergarten and have stayed friends all these years, but to you, I’m less significant than Amy, let alone your mother-in-law and Howard. For them, you actually abandoned me… Forget it, let’s not talk about it. It makes me feel so sad!”

She was genuinely aggrieved!

Mary pouted.

Keira wasn’t good at comforting others, so she remained silent. Just then, the sound of the door opening was heard, and Howard’s mother walked in.

Humming a tune from a dance, she didn’t look toward the living room as she entered but headed straight for the kitchen. “Keera, what’s for dinner? I’m hungry after exercising!”

By the time she finished, she was already in the kitchen, only to find it completely empty, without a trace of cooking.

Howard’s mother was startled, then stormed out shouting, “Keera, what have you been doing at home all afternoon? What time is it now, and you still haven’ started cooking? You…”

Speaking, she saw Mary and immediately stopped, then scoffed, “Oh, isn’t this Mary? Haven’t seen you here in over half a year, huh? What, you’ve come to your senses and decided to bring a partnership proposal for Howard?”

Mary responded with a facade of a smile. “Auntie, haven’t seen you in half a year, somehow you look even more spiteful?”

Howard’s mother’s expression faltered, and she said

indignantly, “You’re so rude!”

Mary spread her hands. “Just telling the truth!”

“You!”

Howard’s mother clutched her chest in anger and pointed at Keira, saying furiously, “Keera, you’re just going to stand there watching your friend insult me? Let me tell you, her being rude to me is the same as being disrespectful to you! She obviously doesn’t take you seriously, otherwise, wouldn’t she know such behavior would put you in an awkward position?

“Keera, you have to kick her out right now! And you’re not to see her again. If you don’t, I swear I’ll tell Howard you allowed your friend to come over an bully me!”

Mary’s chin tensed up when she heard this.

She looked at Keira.

Half a year ago, it was just like this.

Howard and his mother’s words made Keera block her outright.

Later when she ran into Howard he shamelessly proposed that if her family’s company partnered on a project with him, Howard would have Keera add her back.

Mary was furious at the time.

She felt that Howard was treating her best friend and their friendship like commodities being negotiated for a price!

She felt anxious for Keera’s sake, frustrated that she had somehow set her sights on such a loser.
