How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire-Chapter 153 -

Chapter 153: Chapter 153

Chapter 153: Chapter 153

Lewis Horton had changed into a matching suit and exuded a strong sense of oppression as he descended the stairs into the banquet hall.

His gaze was heavy. After reaching the bottom of the stairs, he first looked at the screen before surveying the surroundings.

He quickly spotted Kiera Olsen and strode toward her.

But to his surprise, he was intercepted by Poppy Hill.

She rushed in front of Lewis Horton, hugging his leg, “Mr. Horton, I am Kiera Olsen’s mother. You’ve slept with our Kiera, you must give her an explanation. You can’t just let this go!”

Lewis Horton’s brow furrowed deeply. He wanted to kick her away, but remembering she was, after all, Kiera Olsen’s mother, he restrained his anger and simply shook her off, then turned his glare toward Tom Davis!

At a wave of Tom’s hand, two black-clad bodyguards immediately rushed over and intercepted Poppy Hill.

Sitting on the ground and slapping her thighs, Poppy Hill cried out, “Come see, they’re going to kill someone! Mr. Horton slept with my daughter and now he refuses to acknowledge it…”

The next moment, a rag was fiercely stuffed into her mouth by Tom Davis!

Poppy Hill immediately could no longer make a sound, and could only let out muffled cries.

Tom Davis then casually cleaned his ears, “Finally, peace. Your wailing was indeed annoying!”

This series of actions was executed smoothly, resolving the most disruptive presence in the hall.

Yet, Lewis Horton was again stopped by Jake Horton, “Uncle, with so many executives here, shouldn’t you explain what’s on that screen?”

Lewis Horton’s eyes were piercing as he looked at him.

Jake Horton swallowed nervously, not daring to say another word.

Jake Horton’s father, Oliver Horton, however, spoke up, “Lewis, you are now the head of the Horton Group. You need to set an example. How can you make such a careless mistake? And to be caught with evidence…”

He sighed, “There are quite a few reporters here today too, wanting to cover the grandeur of grandmother’s birthday banquet. Even if you can silence us, you cannot silence them. So now, we need a viable plan!”

Lewis Horton remained calm but did not rush to explain; instead, he looked back at his brother, “What plan does big brother think we should implement?”

Oliver Horton did not reply.

Someone from the executives behind him, however, spoke up, “Mr. Horton, we want to know if this photo is real?”

Lewis Horton glanced at the photo again, his expression still calm, “It’s real.”

At these words, the crowd around him immediately began to buzz with conversation:

“Mr. Horton isn’t even trying to hide it? It’s actually true!”

“Exactly, at this time, no matter what, he shouldn’t have admitted it! Now that he has, what is he going to do next?”

“Is Mr. Horton risking it all for this woman? He’s not even considering Mrs. Horton’s feelings!”

As Mrs. Horton was mentioned, everyone’s gaze shifted to Madeleine Davis.

But she only retreated further, then looked up at Lewis Horton with eyes full of sorrow.

Lewis Horton, however, did not look at her but continued to focus on the executive, “Anything else?”

“Mr. Horton, it is said that Miss Olsen is married?”

“That’s correct.”

Lewis Horton nodded in confirmation.

The executive was taken aback, having thought Lewis Horton would deny it for the sake of his reputation, like claiming he didn’t know she was married…

The executive coughed again, “So it was Miss Olsen who seduced you? You just couldn’t resist in the moment.”

Lewis Horton lowered his gaze, “No, Miss Olsen and I are mutually in love.”

With those words, the noisy chatter in the room exploded as if the roof was about to be blown off, everyone looking at them in disbelief.

“My God, Mr. Horton has just admitted to having an affair!”

“That Kiera Olsen is indeed beautiful; she has completely captivated Mr. Horton! She really is capable!”

“Such adulterers! They really have no shame!”

“…”

Even the executive who had asked the question didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Oliver Horton frowned, “Jake, have you lost your mind? You’re married, how can you be involved with another man’s wife? Your every action represents the image of the company, and you’re acting on a whim, doing as you please! Now, get rid of that mistress immediately, otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to sit in the CEO’s seat any longer!”

At this statement, Kiera Olsen, who had been beside them, raised her eyebrows.

She thought to herself, how did that curtain happen to reveal itself so mysteriously—it turned out to be the first branch of the family up to their tricks again, aiming to ruin Lewis Horton’s reputation and pull him down from the position of CEO!

For a moment she found it hilarious, the corners of her lips unconsciously curling into a mocking smile.

Isla Olsen spoke up directly, “Kiera, what are you laughing at? Do you think you’ve stolen Uncle from Auntie? Do you have any sense of propriety or shame at all? I advise you to leave quickly! Stay with your husband and lead a good life; don’t come back to break Uncle and Auntie up!”

The people around also spoke up:

“Exactly, I’ve never seen such a brazen mistress. Even if Mr. Horton is so powerful, what he’s done this time is really contemptible!”

“I used to think Mr. Horton was deeply affectionate towards his wife, staying away from other women for so many years, but it turns out it was all an act, right?”

“Goodness, today has been quite an eye-opener! I’ve seen many mistresses, but never one who could bewitch someone like this!”

“That Kiera Olsen is just a disaster! A femme fatale!”

“Kiera Olsen, if you truly love Mr. Horton, then be sensible and bow out. Do you really want to selfishly bring Mr. Horton down from his pedestal just for your so-called mutual love?”

“…”

The executives surrounding Lewis Horton were confronting him.

The group of wealthy wives surrounding Kiera Olsen were also accusing her.

Kiera Olsen furrowed her brows, about to sneer and say something, when her wrist was suddenly seized by Mrs. Olsen.

Mrs. Olsen’s body was trembling slightly, and she stared at Kiera Olsen, “Kiera, I’m asking you one last time, are you coming with me or not?”

Her voice was shaking, as was the determined look in her eyes.

Kiera Olsen, seeing her like this, felt a strange discomfort in her heart, “Mrs. Olsen, I’m not going.”

Mrs. Olsen gripped her wrist even tighter, staring at her intently.

After a long pause, she saw the determination in Kiera Olsen’s eyes and let out a bitter laugh.

She took the marriage certificate from Taylor Olsen’s hands and handed it to Kiera Olsen, “Kiera, if you don’t come with me today, I will never see you again.”

Leaving these words, she stuffed the marriage certificate into Kiera Olsen’s hand and turned decisively to leave.

But at the moment she turned around, Lewis Horton’s deep and clear voice slowly filled the entire hall:

“You want an explanation? I think it’s you who owe me an explanation, don’t you think?”

“My wife and I’s photo was made public like this; have you not infringed upon our marital privacy rights?”
