My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！ - Chapter 542
Chapter 541
….
Keira didn’t catch what the maid said, so she asked her to repeat it.
The young maid immediately averted her gaze. “No, it’s nothing…”
She sneaked another look at Peter.
Years ago, as she passed a highway, she saw someone crash their car. She rushed over and found the car leaking oil. Without thinking too much, she immediately rescued the person from the vehicle.
Looking back, it was quite dangerous. They had just walked away when the car exploded. They could have been killed if things had gone wrong.
Afterward, she called 911 but was in a hurry to deliver a parcel, so she left first. When she returned after making the delivery, she heard that the person had been taken to the hospital.
She didn’t get involved any further.
However, even if that person was that gentleman, it didn’t mean anything…
As the young maid pondered this, she heard someone calling her from the kitchen. “South, where on earth are you?”
The maid immediately said, “I’m coming…”
Then she entered the kitchen.
Keira immediately frowned.
South?
Was the maid’s surname South?
Was it a coincidence, or…
Keira pursed her lips and approached the nearby butler. “That maid South, what’s her background?”
The butler said, “Her? She’s a trained maid. I heard she dropped out after high school and has been delivering parcels ever since. She later came to our house and was selected after an interview. She underwent three months of training before she assumed her position. Miss Olsen, did she do something inappropriate? Do you need her to be dismissed?”
Keira immediately said, “No, I was just asking. What’s her full name? Is her surname South?”
The butler answered, “No, that surname is quite rare. She’s Jenkins, South Jenkins.”
So, South was her given name.
Keira nodded and returned to the dining area.
Erin was insisting on her conclusion. “My instinct is never wrong! Susan is targeting my sister-in-law!”
As soon as she said this, she was so startled that she immediately covered her mouth.
The others also turned their gazes toward her.
James asked in confusion, “What sister-in-law?”
Erin’s dark gaze fell on Scott, and then she awkwardly chuckled, “No, it’s nothing…”
Charles immediately pressed. “There must be something, spit it out!”
Erin looked up at the sky and coughed lightly. “My brother likes Keira, so he wants her to become my sister-in-law.”
Scott immediately retorted, “Don’t be ridiculous!”
No sooner had he spoken than Lewis’s expression darkened.
Scott quickly said, “Miss Olsen is already engaged.”
Erin looked at him. “Is she married?”
“Not yet.”
“Then you’ve got a chance!”
The others didn’t know what to say.
Everyone was stunned and then eagerly turned their attention toward Lewis.
Lewis’s face grew dark as he turned to Scott.
Scott coughed lightly. “Well, please don’t take it the wrong way. It’s just that my grandfather is forcing me to get married, and I didn’t agree, so I made up an excuse…”
Erin immediately scoffed.
Scott gave her a wary look, and Erin fell silent.
Lewis, however, continued to press. “What excuse?”
Scott glanced at Keira awkwardly. “I just said I was already in love with someone, and Grandpa pressed me hard, insisting I tell him who it was. There aren’t many young women I know in Crera, so in a panic, I said Miss Olsen…”
Erin said sarcastically, “Right, he was panicked. It’s nothing serious.”
Scott immediately glared at her again.
Erin stuck out her tongue, then turned her head away.
That cute gesture caught Charles’s attention several times, making him blush.
How could there be such an adorable girl in the world?
More importantly, Erin got along well with Keira, unlike Susan, who was always causing trouble.
So, if he could win Erin’s heart…
As Charles thought about it, he blushed even more.
Erin said, “Come on, even my brother isn’t blushing. What are you blushing for?”
Charles quickly covered his face. “Am I? Well, maybe it’s because I ate something spicy just now!”
Erin immediately expressed her confusion. “Spicy? I love spicy food but haven’t seen any just now…”
Charles hastily changed the subject. “What’s your favorite food?”
“I like your Creran spicy chicken.”
“I know a place that makes great spicy chicken. Do you want to try it?”
Erin’s eyes immediately lit up. “Sure, when can you take me out?”
Charles coughed and glanced at the kitchen. “They’ll take at least an hour to make dinner, so why don’t I take you there now?”
Erin nodded enthusiastically. “Great!”
After that, the two didn’t care about the others and headed straight out. At the door, Erin suddenly remembered something and turned back to Scott. “Brother, you’d better come up with a good plan! Otherwise, Grandpa will force you to marry your cousin! Maybe Miss Olsen is willing to help you? In all of Crera, only Miss Olsen’s status is a good match for you. She’s probably the only candidate that’ll shut Grandpa up, right?”
Scott was so infuriated that he immediately said, “Just go already!”
Erin then left.
Keira watched her leave, deep in thought.
Could such a food-loving, lively girl be Fox?
As she pondered, Lewis suddenly asked, “Who’s the cousin your sister mentioned?”
Scott immediately responded, “Mr. Horton, please don’t get it the wrong way. Although I like Miss Olsen, I also know how to appreciate true beauty. It’s just that Grandpa was pressuring me, so I had to mention Miss Olsen’s name…”
As he spoke, he gave Keira a longing and profound look that was filled with emotion, but he quickly averted his gaze.
Lewis looked down and said indifferently, “I’m not misunderstanding anything. The cousin Erin mentioned wouldn’t happen to have the surname South, would she?”
“How do you know?”
Scott said with surprise, “Did you guess from Erin’s middle name? Erin’s mother is indeed from the South family. Our cousin is the daughter of my mother’s brother, so she also has the surname South, and her name is Vera.”
Keira was taken aback.
She looked at Scott in disbelief. “You mean your cousin is named Vera South?”
“Yes,” said Scott.
Scott asked, “Is there a problem with that name?”
Keira smiled. “No, I just didn’t expect…”
Her gaze shifted to Lewis.
Lewis also showed a hint of amusement. “It turns out that the most difficult search can end with effortless discovery.”
Vera was to marry Scott, and her surname was South. She must be Fox!
Keira suddenly turned to Scott. “I wonder if there’s a chance to meet this cousin of yours?”
