My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Chapter 19: She Has Always Known

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Keira stared dumbfounded at the marriage certificate in her hand.

She suddenly realized, that the first time old Mrs. Horton saw her, she called her “granddaughter-in-law”. The old lady had known all along that Keira and Lewis were married!

Keira felt that she had found a clue.

She immediately asked, “Grandma, how did you come by this marriage certificate?”

Old Mrs. Horton was taken aback, her eyes growing a touch bewildered. “I… I can’t really remember.”

Keira continued. “How did Mr. Horton and I come to be married?”

Old Mrs. Horton just shook her head. “I don’t recall.”

Keira grew somewhat anxious. “Grandma, please try to think back…” “Enough!”

Lewis said unhappily, his towering figure standing between the two women. His eyes were cold when he asked, “Miss Olsen, is this certificate real?” “Of course.”

Lewis’s face darkened. “Are you going to say we don’t need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau now?”

So that was her aim!

She used a legitimate excuse like going to the Civil Affairs Bureau as a setup, then lured his grandma into taking out this fake certificate and tricking him’ into believing it was true.

If he hadn’t seen how his grandma just did as she was told, he might have believed Keira!

Keira sensed the hostility in the man’s tone and found it baffling. “We don’t have to go today.”

Divorce isn’t something that could be resolved by just stopping by the Civil Affairs Bureau.

For two years, they were legally husband and wife, so there were a lot of property distribution issues to deal with. They needed to sign a divorce agreement first.

“No.”

After Lewis spoke, he carefully observed Keira.

She was slightly taken aback, then she said nonchalantly, “Whatever you say.” He wondered if she was too confident in her acting that she wouldn’t give up until the last moment.

Or was this marriage certificate genuine?

Lewis was suddenly unsure. He simply picked up the marriage certificate and headed out. “I’ll wait for you in the parking lot.”

Keira smiled reassuringly at the old lady, then followed Lewis out. The man walked quickly, and she almost had to trot to keep up with him. When they arrived at the parking lot, they saw Poppy standing there with an ashen-faced Isla, who was shaking and sneezing. Poppy seemed heartbroken. On seeing Keira, Poppy’s eyes lit up. “Keira!”

She quickly walked over, cautiously avoiding Lewis. She stood before Keira and said self-righteously, “You must help your sister!”

Keira raised an eyebrow.

She didn’t understand why the two were out so early in the morning.

Didn’t they leave last night?

Before she could speak, Poppy was already rambling.

■’Keira, you’re an illegitimate child, but the Olsen family didn’t mind your background and raised you. For all the hardship they went through, you should reciprocate for the Olsen family…

“Your sister has been even better to you. Not only did she let you go to school with her, but she also shared her clothes with you.

“And also, you were so weak when you were born that you wouldn’t have survived. I didn’t have any milk, so you only survived because you took the milk that was supposed to be for your sister.

“Back then, the Olsen family hadn’t intended to take us in. Mrs. Olsen and your father only decided to keep us because you and your sister were born the same day…

“So, you owe your sister. You should repay her kindness all your life…”

Keira hadn’t heard those words in ten years.

When she was little, she believed these lies and worked like a horse for the

Olsen family, she let Isla bully her. How ridiculous!

Indeed, the Olsen family had raised her, but parents having to raise a child was a legal obligation. If they hadn’t taken care of her, they would have been guilty of desertion!?? ^y

She did go to school with Isla Olsen, but she had to carry Isla’s school on their way to school and back home. She also had to be Olsen’s servant at school. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

If Isla happened to cough one day, it was Keira’s fault for not taking good care

of her, and she would get beaten by Poppy.

In school, she could only get the last place in exams because she couldn’t outshine Isla!

And the clothes… Her parents never prepared any for her. She could only wear Isla’s hand-me-downs; hence, her clothes were always a bit too small.

Mrs. Olsen did buy her a new dress once, but as soon as she put it on, it was taken off by Poppy and given to Isla, stating that she wasn’t good enough! She couldn’t be prettier than Isla!

As for being weak…

Which baby wouldn’t be weak after being starved for five days?

The mockery in Keira’s eyes grew more intense.

But Poppy didn’t sense her emotions at all. After saying those things she immediately added, “Now that you’ve grown up, you finally have a chance to repay the Olsen family. Keira, old Mrs. Horton listens to you, right? Ask her to return the 2% of the shares to your sister!”

Keira looked down and laughed. “You’re right.”

Poppy’s face lit up, thinking she had convinced Keira, only to hear the girl’s indifferent voice a moment later.

‘Tm just a lowborn illegitimate daughter. How could old Mrs. Horton possibly listen to me?”

Poppy froze, wanting to say something else, but Keira had already walked past her and got into Lewis’s car. “Let’s go.”

Lewis was speechless.

He looked at the girl sitting in the back seat, thinking about telling her that the driver hadn’t arrived yet.

But then Poppy seemed to try to run to the car.

Lewis sat behind the wheel and closed the door. He then slowly fastened his seatbelt before starting the car and driving off.

The black Bentley drove smoothly.

Lewis looked back at the girl through his rearview mirror. She was staring at the passing scenery outside the window. Her exquisite and beautiful face was calm.

He looked away and continued driving.

He had planned to warn her, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.

The car quickly arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

As soon as he stopped, Tom knocked on the driver’s side window.

Lewis rolled down the window, and Tom’s voice came through. “Boss, the driver said you took the car yourself, and it scared me, so I followed the GPS. Did something happen?”

“No.”

Lewis was as sparing with his words as ever.

Tom looked at the Civil Affairs Bureau, “Why did you come here? Don’t tell me you were so bothered by Keira Olsen that you became paranoid. Don’t worry. I told you. She can’t see you again. If she does, then I will…”

“Livestream eating shit?”

Before Tom could finish, he heard a lazy female voice.

He stiffened and slowly looked at the backseat to find Keira with a teasing look

in her eyes, “Which livestream channel do you use?”

Tom was completely stunned!

The three of them entered the Civil Affairs Bureau and approached the service window.

Tom took the lead and asked, “Hi, I have an inquiry. Can one pick up the marriage certificate without the persons involved being present?” The clerk said, “Absolutely not.”

“Did you hear that?” Tom looked at Keira mockingly, glancing at the marriage certificate in her hands before he sneered, “You even prepared a fake certificate? Nice, I’ll report you for forgery and harassment now!”

However, Lewis handed over the marriage certificate. “Excuse me, could you please check if this marriage certificate is genuine..”
