How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire

Chapter 140: Chapter 140 Chapter 140 -140 As those words were spoken, the room fell into complete silence.

Isla Olsen and Jake Horton simultaneously turned to look at Lewis Horton, having called him over to witness Keira Olsen’s husband and embarrass them.

But now, was Lewis Horton really standing up for Keira Olsen?

Isla Olsen found herself unable to speak for a moment.

Erin Davis, who was already resigned to her fate, blurted out directly, “Mr. Horton knows her husband? Dressed like that, isn’t he just coming from a construction site? Even if he isn’t a laborer, at best he’s a contractor, right?”

These days, a contractor could make a lot of money.

But in Erin Davis’s mouth, it sounded as if the job was incredibly demeaning.

Lewis Horton’s eyes darkened, about to speak, when suddenly the door to the private room was knocked on, and a man dressed in a suit walked in, “I’m sorry to interrupt.”

Upon seeing him, someone among the classmates immediately spoke up, “Mr. Hill?”

The suit-clad Mr. Hill was slightly startled, “You know me?”

“Ah yes, our company has recently cooperated with yours to provide a constant temperature energy system, you might not remember me; I’m just an intern at our company.”

The young man who spoke smiled awkwardly.

Someone quietly asked nearby, “Who is this guy?”

The young man immediately replied, “He’s an expatriate who came back to get into real estate, I heard his family’s business spans globally, and now they are venturing into the Crera market, pretty impressive!”

“Really? What’s someone like him doing here? Could he be looking for Mr. Horton?”

In the room, only the Horton family would have the status to discuss matters with such a family.

Lewis Horton’s eyebrows knitted together.

Real estate in Crera was currently on a decline, and Horton Group’s real estate sector had already completely transformed; he did not recall any cooperation with the Martin family.

As he was pondering this, the Mr. Hill walked over to Scott Martin with a bow, then took out a contract from the document bag he was carrying, “Boss, I’ve thoroughly inspected the construction site you just visited, and it completely meets our investment standards. Here’s the contract, since it’s urgent, I brought it over for you to sign.”

After he finished, he nodded apologetically to everyone at the table.

Everyone: “…”

Lewis Horton frowned, looking towards Scott Martin, his gaze suddenly turning icy.

Under the table, just as Keira Olsen was about to stop him from speaking, she was still holding his hand. Later, when Keira Olsen brought up her own background, she hadn’t let go, seemingly drawing strength from it.

Now, as everyone’s attention had shifted, Keira Olsen wasn’t focused on as much, and she relaxed and subconsciously thought about pulling her hand back.

But in the next moment, the large hand she was holding took charge and held hers tightly!

Keira Olsen pulled hard, yet couldn’t pull it back.

She looked at Lewis Horton in surprise, only to see possessiveness and a trace of sourness on his face – was he jealous?

Following his gaze, Keira Olsen saw Scott Martin.

Keira Olsen couldn’t help but be amused.

She hadn’t expected that Scott Martin’s arrival would make Lewis Horton feel threatened…

She thought about it and decided not to move.

At that moment, everyone’s attention was on Scott Martin, and he could feel the intense stares. Yet among them was one filled with inscrutable hostility.

After Scott Martin finished signing, he looked up to find Lewis Horton staring at him.

Scott Martin gave him a gentle smile, then turned to Keira Olsen, “Miss Keira, I forgot to introduce myself, I’m Scott Martin.”

He extended his hand towards Keira Olsen.

Keira Olsen: “…”

She could only use her other hand, the one not held by Lewis Horton, to shake hands with Scott Martin before quickly leaving. Even so, Lewis Horton’s expression turned dark.

Scott Martin, seemingly unaware, looked toward Erin Davis again, “I’m not a construction worker. I dressed like this because I just finished an inspection. It caused misunderstandings, and I’m truly sorry.”

Erin Davis: !!

At this moment, her mouth was so wide open, it seemed she could fit an egg inside.

She sheepishly looked at Scott Martin, then at Keira Olsen, speechless for a moment.

Charles Riley’s eyes lit up instantly, “I knew it! A person like Dr. South, how could she possibly marry a bricklayer? Turns out he’s quite the big shot!”

“One is Dr. South, the other a real estate mogul, what a match!”

“Ah, I just Googled the Martin family. Oh my, they’re quite something!”

“…”

Isla Olsen and Jake Horton frowned tightly, looking puzzled at Keira Olsen.

How could it be…

How could she possibly have married such an impressive person?!

Jake Horton felt, to snatch her from such a man to make her his mistress, was definitely impossible now…

He subconsciously looked toward Lewis Horton.

But he saw his lofty uncle also frowned, inexplicably, he felt a secret thrill.

Yes, if Keira Olsen was beyond his reach, his uncle would likely not have her in the future either…

While he was thinking this, Isla Olsen suddenly spoke up, “Keira, is this man really your husband?”

This question made Keira Olsen look at her with a half-smile, “Do you hope he is, or isn’t?”

Isla Olsen choked.

Keira Olsen didn’t keep them in suspense, speaking up directly, “He is not my husband.”

Scott Martin also sighed, “I’m not Miss Olsen’s husband. It was raining yesterday, Miss Olsen helped me with an umbrella. I was returning the umbrella. I was mistakenly added on WhatsApp by Miss Isla Olsen here, and she invited me to come here claiming that I could meet Miss Olsen, so I came…”

He explained it very clearly.

Isla Olsen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, “So it was a misunderstanding, my fault!”

Keira Olsen looked at her, finding it somewhat amusing.

When Scott Martin was thought to be a construction worker, they denied it, Isla Olsen didn’t believe it and led the charge in attacking her.

But as Scott Martin turned into a real estate tycoon, a simple word from him, and Isla believed him again.

Keira Olsen leisurely watched her, “As long as you believe it, so you don’t put another label on me.”

This remark exposed Isla Olsen’s intentions directly, making her face look bad, and she smilingly said, “It’s my mistake, but Keira, who exactly is your husband? Why not bring him here for everyone to see… Everyone must want to know! Who is so fortunate to marry such an excellent person without caring about status?”

She emphasized the word “excellent” deliberately.

The sarcasm was evident.

Professor Miller also looked toward Keira Olsen, “Keira, bring him along next time, so your teacher can take a look and vet him.”

Keira Olsen smiled faintly, ready to nod in agreement.

But unexpectedly, she heard a deep and authoritative voice beside her, “No need for next time, he is already here.”
