My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！-Chapter 564

564 Chapter 563

Erin couldn't believe her ears.

In disbelief, she looked at the police officer. "What did you say? That wife said it was us who started the fight? But that man pushed me first; he..."

The officer said in resignation, "The place where you were eating just so happened to have no surveillance cameras, so there's no way to prove your innocence. Right now, they are insisting that it was you who started the fight, and the man's injuries do look more serious. So..."

Erin's eyes widened in shock.

Keira just glanced at Tom, and he immediately said, "Alright, officer, we'll compensate him. It's a minor issue, so let me handle it..."

Tom went aside with the officer.

Only then did Erin slowly turn her head and look at Keira with a wronged expression. "Why did it turn out like this?"

Keira sighed. "Erin, you need to understand that the world isn't as wonderful as we imagine, but I don't want you to lose your love for it. Just maintain your innocence."

Like an eggplant beaten by frost, Erin followed Keira out the door.

Even after getting into the car, she still looked deeply affected, as if society had given her a harsh beating, which Keira found amusing.

Charles was doing a bit better than Erin, so he comforted her a little.

Seeing that Erin still didn't cheer up, Keira was just about to look for some comforting words online when Erin suddenly lifted her head, her eyes fixed firmly ahead. "I think my sister is right!"

Charles was startled, "What?"

Erin said, "Even though the world isn't that wonderful, it doesn't matter to me. My family is influential enough, and I can afford to make mistakes! Like today's incident, it won't have any impact on my life, so the next time something like this happens, I'll still intervene!"

Keira was slightly taken aback when she heard this.

She looked at Erin and saw a vibrant vitality in her.

She was like a little sun, born into a good family, always positive and never backing down.

It was different from Keira's childhood...

Back then, Keira didn't have the luxury of making mistakes. Helping the wrong person meant her future few months of living expenses would be used to pay for medical bills.

No one was there to cover for her, so she had to learn to protect herself wisely.

Suddenly, she felt a pang of envy for Erin, as it was a smooth sailing life that shaped Erin's cheerful personality. Keira also realized that she shouldn't have stopped Erin just then. She should have become part of Erin's confidence.

Having realized that, Keira let out a relieved smile.

Erin had fully bounced back. The incident didn't seem to have any lasting effect on her. The four adults and Amy found another place to eat and then went to a makeup studio for a session.

They had prepared their evening gowns in advance, and after getting dressed, they tidied up and headed to the hotel lobby for Scott and Vera's engagement party.

As they reached the entrance, they saw the Martin family's butler collecting invitations. Those invited were all notable figures from Clance, and security was extremely strict.

The group stood at the entrance, waiting for the Olsen family to arrive.

In the parking area, Rebecca and Frankie stepped out of the car together.

The Martin family held considerable influence abroad, so the five major families of Clance were willing to show their respect by attending; most families sent an elder along with their younger generations. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

As Frankie had taken over the family business, his parents didn't come.

Rebecca got out of the car and started looking around. "I don't even know if Keira has arrived yet. Ever since she moved back to the Olsen family, I haven't seen her, and I don't know how she's doing or if she misses me!"

As she said this, she sounded a bit resentful. "And then there's Mary, who went back with Keira to the Olsen residence, saying she had forgiven Ellis. I think she just wanted to stay with Miss Keira! Back at the South residence, she always competed with me for Miss Keira..."

Frankie listened to her childish complaints and couldn't help but rub his forehead, speechless.

Just then, the Olsen family's car arrived.

Rebecca's eyes immediately lit up.

She stationed herself there, staring intently at the cars. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

The Olsen family's vehicles arrived in a convoy of three, and once they were all parked, Rebecca anxiously looked toward the first car, from which two Olsen brothers alighted.

From the second car, three more brothers got out.

Rebecca's gaze then fixed on the third car. She walked over and thought Miss Keira had to be in that car.

But unexpectedly, when the door opened, the person who stepped out was Ellis.

Rebecca peered inside the car again and asked, "Ellis, where's Keira?"

Ellis coughed, "She came earlier with Mr. Horton."

"They came earlier? If I'd known, I would've messaged her first. I've wasted so much time here!" Rebecca deflated upon hearing this and hurried toward the banquet hall.

Frankie nodded respectfully at Ellis.

Ellis nodded back and continued to explain to Rebecca, "She just texted me. Since we're invited together, they are waiting for us at the entrance of the banquet hall."

Rebecca immediately quickened her pace. "Then let's hurry up. We shouldn't keep Miss Keira waiting too long!"

Reluctantly, Ellis hastened his steps.

Rebecca glanced back at his car, saw no one else coming out, and asked with a tinge of jealousy, "What about Miss Mary? Is she with Miss Keira? What did they do this afternoon? Why aren't they here? Did they go out to eat? Why didn't they invite me?!"

Ellis said, "Mary is feeling a bit under the weather. She's resting at home today."

At these words, Rebecca's eyes sparkled, "Really?"

Great! Tonight, no one would compete with her for the position of Keira's little follower! She could stick with Keira all night...

But when she saw Ellis's stern face, Rebecca realized she had made it too obvious. Being happy about someone else's wife being sick was indeed a bit inappropriate...

She gave a sheepish smile and then sped up her pace, moving as swiftly and lightly as a butterfly, quickly heading toward the grand foyer of the banquet hall.

"Miss Keira, I'm coming!"

Tonight, with Mary gone, there would finally be no one to compete with her for the role of Keira's little follower. She could stick with Keira all night long!

Rebecca indulged in her pleasant thoughts until she rushed to the banquet hall entrance, where she spotted Keira from afar. Her eyes gleamed even brighter. "Miss Keira!"

But the next moment, she saw a lively and bright girl, like a little sun, appear beside Keira.

Rebecca was dumbfounded.

A sense of crisis immediately struck her!
