My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire! - Chapter 619
619 Chapter 618
After saying goodbye to Holly, Keira headed to the parking lot.
Lewis was standing by the car waiting for her. “Where to next?”
“The Olsen residence.”
The two got into the car, and Lewis drove toward the Olsen residence.
On the way, Keira suddenly turned to him and asked, “You’re following me around every day. What about the Horton Group?”
“Don’t worry. Tom will handle it.”
Keira then asked, “What about your companies abroad?”
“I’ll handle those.”
Keira couldn’t help but say, “I mean, maybe you should go back to the company for a visit. As the chairman, you shouldn’t be absent all the time, right?”
Lewis didn’t look at her but kept his eyes on the road ahead as he said, “You don’t need to find ways to send me away. I’m not going to leave you.”
Keira chuckled. “You’ve seen right through me.”
Lewis said, “You’re pushing Fox into a corner. You’re worried she might strike, and I am worried, too.”
Keira sighed, “I underestimated the South family before, which is why my sister died in that accident. This time… I can’t underestimate the South family. If Fox becomes desperate enough to assassinate me, I don’t know from which direction the attack will come.”
Although she was considered a top-ranked martial arts practitioner, there were countless ways to kill a person.
Back in Oceanion, she and Keera had been kidnapped onto that ship without anyone noticing.
Even after the fact, no traces were left.
All the surveillance was destroyed and completely irreparable.
There were no witnesses; it was as if she and Keera had magically gone from that private room to the ship…
The power of the South family shouldn’t be underestimated!
She worried that Lewis would be dragged into the mess with her, which was why she just tried to find a way to make Lewis leave…
Lewis then said, “That’s why I need to stick by your side to protect you.”
Keira said, “Grandma isn’t cured yet…”
Lewis asked, “Keira, are you scared?”
Keira hesitated.
Lewis then said, “The South family is indeed formidable, but if you feel defeated without a fight and scare yourself first, you’ve already lost.”
Keira frowned. “Don’t lecture me here. I’m not afraid of anything, not even death. But…”
Lewis turned to look at her. “Do you know what I’m afraid of?”
“What?”
“I’m afraid of you leaving me again,” Lewis said, his gaze firmly fixed on the road ahead. “I fear the helplessness of not being by your side when you leave me.”
He steered the car with one hand while holding her hand with the other. “I want to hold your hand and grow old with you. You’re my wife. Until death do us part.”
Keira’s eyes gradually moistened.
She suddenly smiled and held his hand back tightly. “Alright, until death do us part! We’ll stick together.”
As they talked, they returned to the Olsen residence.
Uncle Olsen was still in a deep sleep, not yet awake.
Keira and Lewis went to see him together, and when they were leaving, they saw Erin entering the house.
She greeted them warmly as soon as she saw them. “Where’s Charles? Hasn’t he finished school yet?”
Keira studied her and smiled. “I don’t know.”
Erin pouted. “That guy told me to wait for him here, and now he’s not even back yet.”
She took out her phone and sent a WhatsApp message to Charles. “Where are you? I’m at the Olsen’s!”
The message had just been sent when a voice came from the entrance downstairs. “I’m back! Erin, let’s go. I’ll take you to a state banquet!”
Erin’s eyes lit up as she hurried downstairs. “Really? Is it delicious?”
“Of course, it’s delicious! This hotel is used for entertaining foreign guests; the chef used to be a royal cook…”
“I’m drooling already!”
Erin’s laughter rang out as the young couple left the house, seemingly oblivious to the sorrows of the world, making Keira and Lewis exchange glances.
Lewis asked, “What’s Amy’s full name?”
Keira lowered her gaze. “On her identity card, it’s ‘Erin.’
“As in Erin South Martin?”
“Yup.”
“What a coincidence.”
“Yeah, quite the coincidence.”
Keira smiled. “I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence or if it has some other meaning, but the South family is really too mysterious. Up until now, none of the clues connect, and I have no idea what they’re actually doing.”
“We’ll Meet each challenge with its own solution, and step by step we’ll trace back to the South family and rescue your mother,” Lewis said reassuringly.
Keira immediately nodded and then looked down. “After tomorrow, when I’ve defeated Fox, we should be able to pry open Vera’s mouth, and we’ll get some answers.”
Lewis wrapped his arm around her shoulder. “Yes, let’s look forward to tomorrow.”
…
It was soon the next day.
Since they didn’t know when the Interpol would come to transfer Vera, Keira and Lewis arrived at the Special Division early.
They went straight to the interrogation room to visit Vera.
Under Holly’s watch, Vera had yet another sleepless night. Her eyes were red, and she seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
Seeing Keira, she sneered. “Do you think by treating me this way, I’ll tell you what you want to know? Rabbit, every girl in the South family has undergone special training. This kind of torture is nothing to me! You underestimated Fox, and you’ve underestimated me, too!”
Keira lowered her gaze, “Is that so?”
“Of course,” Vera said with a defiant attitude. “After today, I’ll be taken away by the Interpol, and we’ll never see each other again! Do you really think you can trap me here?”
Keira looked at her. “Let’s make a bet.”
“What bet?”
“If the Interpol takes you away, I’ll admit defeat. If not, you tell me all the secrets of the South family.”
Vera stared at her, and after a long while, she scoffed. “Deal.”
