My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 692

Keira glanced nervously at Lewis upon hearing Erin's words. Lewis's lips curled into a faint smile.

Realizing that Lewis must have already made arrangements with the pirates of the Trident Strait, Keira understood that they would likely release Professor Barry Brandt.

Seeing the two of them so relaxed, Erin grew more anxious. “You need to inform the higher-ups immediately! This is serious! I've dealt with the Trident Strait's King before—he doesn't respond to reason.”

Keira raised an eyebrow. “King?”

Erin nodded. “Yes, their leader is called King. He's a notorious pirate who took control of the Trident Strait five years ago. His crew is formidable, and he's known for his ruthless methods.”

She leaned in and whispered to Keira, “If you can build a good relationship with King, it could significantly boost your chances for the successor position!”

Keira fixed her gaze on Erin. “So you're actually helping me rather than being a rival.”

Erin looked puzzled. “What are you talking about?”

Taking a step back, Erin tossed a pistachio into her mouth and said, “I'm just trying to warn you about the Trident Strait issue. Can you focus on that?”

Keira crossed her arms and stared at her. “The fact that you're helping me does matter. What's our relationship really like? That's a crucial issue.”

Erin frowned. “I'm trying to talk about serious matters here. Can you stop interrupting?”

“To me, who you are and what our relationship is is the most important issue.”

Keira spoke calmly.

Erin's frustration was evident. She seemed nervous, her anxiety almost palpable. “Why are you making this so complicated? I just don't want you to get killed off too soon. I want you to compete with the other successors so I can benefit in the end!

With that, Erin hurriedly retreated into the cabin, looking somewhat guilty. “Enough about this. I'm tired. You've been on the road all this time, aren't you tired too? Get some rest. We'll have a tough fight when we get back home tomorrow!”

Keira asked, “What kind of fight?”

Erin replied, “You've lost Professor Brandt. Even if you explain to the authorities, there's no evidence! Isn't that a tough situation? Also, I heard that the Horton Group is holding a press conference tomorrow to announce something. Uncle Olsen promised to address the issue of you being kicked out of the house.”
