My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 799

Jenkins stopped in her tracks and turned around, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. “What? Having second thoughts about letting me go?”

The voice that stopped her was Keira's. Peter also spun around, his gaze shifting to Keira.

Keira looked at them both and said slowly, “I just thought you two could use a proper goodbye.”

The words lingered in the air. Peter and Jenkins exchanged a glance but quickly looked away, each refusing to hold the other's gaze.

Keira noticed and gave a faint smile as she stepped between them. “Jenkins, you really do care about my brother, don't you?”

Jenkins was caught off guard, pausing for a beat.

Peter froze as well.

“If you didn't care,” Keira continued, “then when you made him choose, you would've simply said yes to his question. If you truly wanted him to choose you over me, you would've told him you cared. But you avoided it, didn't you?”

She turned directly to Jenkins. “Why?”

Jenkins's face tightened. “I just didn't want to lie.”

“No,” Keira replied. “You just didn't want to put Peter in a difficult position.”

She glanced at Peter. “Peter, she does care about you.”

Peter stared at the ground, silent.

Jenkins's jaw clenched. “What's the point of saying all this now? You're just making things harder for him.”

Keira took a step forward. “Lion, have you really thought this through? Do you honestly believe you'll come out on top?”

Jenkins faltered, her lips pressing together.

“Let's be real,” Keira said softly. “You were sent to different countries nearly twenty years ago, right? Back then, assignments were based on status and strength. Even twenty years ago, your so-called ‘Country A' was small potatoes. Doesn't that say something about your position?”

Jenkins's fists clenched. “And?”

Keira sighed, her gaze dropping. “No one expected Crera to rise like it did. But now that it's thriving, suddenly everyone's desperate to get a piece. How many of you have actually managed to break in?”

Erin chimed in from nearby, grinning. “None! Crera's economy is in the palm of Rabbit's hand now, and everyone in Clance's inner circle answers only to her. The alliance here is tighter than you could dream of.”

Jenkins's expression turned stormy. “So what?”
