How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire-Chapter 141 -
Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Chapter 141 -141 Lewis Horton’s words once again quieted the private room.
Everyone was shocked and turned their gaze towards him.
Professor Miller was dumbfounded, “He’s here? Where?”
Lewis Horton straightened his back, only to see Professor Miller bypass him and start inspecting each of the men seated from Scott Martin onwards, but after making a full round, he didn’t find the person.
Professor Miller: “Kiera, who exactly is it?”
Lewis Horton: ?
Seeing the change in the man’s expression, Kiera could hardly suppress her laughter.
Since the first time she saw Lewis Horton, he was always very serious. This was the first time Kiera had seen so many complex emotions on his face.
She smiled, remaining silent.
Isla Olsen furrowed her brows, “Kiera, did you really marry one of our classmates? Who is it exactly? Stop keeping us in suspense!”
As soon as those words were dropped, Lewis Horton spoke up, “Her husband is me!”
“…”
Suddenly, the room became dead silent, and everyone abruptly turned to look at the two of them.
Isla Olsen wanted to say something, but her mouth opened and closed again after facing Lewis Horton’s cold face, and she swallowed her words.
Lewis Horton took Kiera Olsen’s hand, which he had been holding under the table, and showed it to everyone. He then cautiously glanced at Scott Martin, “Mr. Martin, I’m glad my wife could help you. If there’s anything in the future, you can contact me directly.”
Scott Martin: “…”
Lewis Horton then looked at everyone and signaled to Tom Davis, who immediately smiled, “Mr. Horton and Miss Olsen arranged for a few bottles of fine wine to celebrate Professor Miller’s birthday. They will be served soon. Everyone, please enjoy your meal, and this meal will be charged to Mr. Horton’s account.”
The classmates were all very grateful and immediately raised their glasses, “Thanks to Mr. Horton, and thanks to Dr. South!”
The atmosphere during the entire birthday celebration seemed to reach its climax at that moment.
Lewis Horton intended to join everyone for the meal, but his phone suddenly rang.
After answering, whoever was on the other side said something, and his expression changed drastically, “I’ll be right there.”
After hanging up, he apologetically looked at Kiera Olsen, “I might have to leave first.”
“Go ahead,” Kiera Olsen said nonchalantly.
Lewis Horton paused, glanced around, and then added, “I’ll leave my car for you, and have the chauffeur drive you home later.”
He then stood up, adjusted his suit, and was about to leave when he passed by Scott Martin and suddenly said, “Mr. Martin, since this is a gathering of Kiera’s college classmates and teachers, it seems they can’t fully relax with you here. Why not leave together?”
“…”
Scott Martin’s mouth twitched, but he still rose gentlemanly, “Alright.”
However, as he was leaving the doorway with Lewis Horton, he still turned back to look at Kiera Olsen, “Miss Olsen, I’ll be in touch with you often in the future.”
This comment darkened Lewis Horton’s expression further.
Once the two finally left, the atmosphere in the entire private room completely relaxed, and everyone was like they had seen off a superior, slumping in their seats and letting out a heavy sigh of relief!
“Who would have thought that one day I’d be dining with such important people, I guess this luncheon is the peak of my life!”
“Never again will I be short of topics to talk about! To think that people normally seen only on financial channels are now dining and drinking with me in reality… Oh my!”
“Alright, they’re gone, but we still have Dr. South!”
Professor Miller couldn’t help but laugh as well. Just as he was turning his head to discuss an academic issue with Kiera Olsen, Isla suddenly spoke, “Kiera, you are just too… shameless, aren’t you?”
As soon as these words dropped, everyone immediately turned to look at her.
Charles Riley furrowed his brow. “Isla, I see it all clearly now. You’ve been the instigator the whole day, using Erin Davis as nothing but a pawn. What now, with Erin staying silent, what do you intend to do next?”
Isla didn’t expect her scheme to be revealed and bit her lip in anger.
She looked down in contemplation for a moment, then simply laughed, “I didn’t intend anything. I just felt that Kiera went a bit too far! She managed to con Mr. Horton into pulling off such a grand act!”
Her words stunned the people around her.
Kiera furrowed her brows. “Are you ever going to stop?”
Isla scoffed, “You did it yourself, and now you won’t let others speak of it? Everyone in the Horton family knows that Mr. Horton was already married two years ago, and you got married after graduating. Tell me, how did the two of you manage to get married over those two years?”
Kiera frowned.
She too hadn’t figured out the complex reasons herself.
She spoke lightly, “Indeed, Mr. Horton and I are legally married, believe it or not.”
“Still being stubborn here! Jake, isn’t Uncle’s wife always abroad?”
Jake Horton had wanted to say this earlier, but was intimidated by Lewis Horton’s authority and didn’t dare speak, now he immediately sneered, “Indeed, Kiera, I chased you for four years, how could I not know that you turned out to be my aunt?!”
Isla sighed, “It was just that face of yours that pleased Mr. Horton, making him come along with you to deceive us all. Kiera, I really didn’t expect this from you; your mother was a mistress, and here you are, married yet willing to cheat and be someone’s mistress…”
Jake Horton added, “Must be some genetic trait in your family, isn’t it? Uncomfortable unless playing the role of a mistress?”
The words of the two were too harsh!
Compared to Erin Davis’s earlier insults, their comments more deeply shamed Kiera’s character!
Even Professor Miller, who usually didn’t involve himself in student affairs, couldn’t stand it anymore, “Enough! Isla, Jake, shut your mouths!”
Isla looked at him, “Professor Miller, knowing she is Dr. South, you favor her, but with her kind of troublesome personal morals, does she really qualify to be a distinguished professor at the school? Aren’t you afraid she might tarnish the school’s reputation?”
Professor Miller choked with anger, “You…!”
Being a cultured individual, he didn’t know how to argue with Isla and could only look at Kiera, “Kiera, tell me, is what she’s saying true?”
Kiera, with a somber look, responded, “Mr. Horton and I are indeed spouses under the law, if the school has concerns, I can present my marriage certificate.”

“Even now, you’re still being stubborn?” Isla scoffed mockingly, suddenly adding, “Oh right, perhaps you don’t know yet?”
Kiera frowned. “What?”
Isla continued, “In two days, it will be Great Grandmother’s 86th birthday party, which the Horton family will be hosting grandly. While organizing it with my mother-in-law, I saw the invitation list. Auntie will be making her appearance back then, Kiera, perhaps you didn’t know? Auntie has already returned to the country! I even got her phone number, I can call her right now to see who indeed is Uncle’s wife!”
Having said this, Isla picked up her phone and opened the recorded number.
Kiera glanced at it, then burst out laughing.
That was her number!?
