How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire-Chapter 155 -
Chapter 155: Chapter 155
Chapter 155 -155
The moment the photo of the marriage certificate was shown, the scene erupted into a buzz of surprise.
Lewis Horton scanned the crowd with a cold smirk, “You aren’t still questioning the authenticity of this marriage certificate, are you? Do I need to take each of you to the courthouse to verify it?!”
Everyone present was stunned.
Isla Olsen’s pupils shrank violently, looking at Kiera in disbelief.
How could this be… How was it possible!
Wasn’t Kiera just recently married? How could it be from two years ago?
But she knew that the marriage certificate had to be real.
With so many journalists present, Lewis Horton couldn’t possibly have faked such a document…
Jake Horton’s entire complexion had turned ashen.
Kiera really married his uncle… She had been his aunt all along!
With others, Jake could still contend, strive against, perhaps force his way, but towards Lewis Horton, Jake felt a natural sense of dread and oppression!
Oliver and Nathan Horton both looked somber, their faces falling into disappointment.
The two exchanged glances, their expressions exceedingly grim.
Initially, they had hoped to use today’s event as an opportunity to pull Lewis Horton down from his pedestal, yet they hadn’t expected the truth to be like this!
When Kiera saw the marriage certificate, she raised an eyebrow.
She suddenly realized why Lewis Horton had been so late! He was fishing for a reaction!
This screen should have been under the control of the first branch of the family, specifically to release private photos, but now it displayed a marriage certificate instead, indicating he knew all along.
But Lewis Horton had just gone with the flow, striking the first branch of the family in the face!
Such a blunder would surely cause those who followed the first branch to waver, wouldn’t it?
As she mulled over this, Mrs. Olsen in front of her was also staring in astonishment at the marriage certificate in her hands!!
Mrs. Olsen had never expected such an outcome, her complexion complex as she looked at Kiera: “You kept telling me to look at the marriage certificate, was this the reason?”
Kiera’s gaze was downcast, the traces of hurt evident in her eyes.
But this was the first time in her life that Mrs. Olsen had not trusted her…
Kiera nodded, “Mhm.”
“I…”
Mrs. Olsen wanted to say something by way of explanation but suddenly found herself at a loss for words.
The truth was truly unexpected.
Facing Kiera, guilt surged in her heart.
Kiera had tried several times to explain, but Mrs. Olsen and Isla had cut her off, Kiera had passed the marriage certificate to her to see, but she hadn’t looked…
As Mrs. Olsen faced Kiera in silence, a shocked exclamation burst from the group of classmates beside them: “How is it possible! Kiera, an illegitimate daughter, actually married Mr. Horton?!”
It was Erin Davis’s piercing voice.
Her expression was one of complete shock, at this moment no longer maintaining her composure, her hand shaking as she pointed at the screen: “This must be fake! How could Kiera deserve this!!”
The classmates around immediately looked at her as if she were a fool.
It seemed that being fired from the company and never finding a job in Oceanion again hadn’t taught her a lesson…
Kiera’s eyes turned icy as she was about to speak, but Tom Davis had already stepped forward, “Miss Olsen… oh, no, it should be Mrs. Horton, the hostess of the Horton family. How dare you insult her here? Are you looking down on our Horton family?”
Erin Davis was dumbfounded, swallowing her saliva.
Looking at the black-clad bodyguards following behind Tom Davis, each of them was tall and sturdy, and any one of them was intimidating enough to fray nerves on their own.
It was only then that she seemed to understand the caliber of the person she had offended!
She collapsed to the ground in an instant, hurriedly looking towards Lewis Horton, “Mr. Horton, I, I was wrong, I’ll never dare to do it again…”
Lewis Horton did not speak.
However, Tom Davis understood what his boss meant and directly chuckled, “Don’t you know whom you have offended?”
These words made Erin Davis abruptly turn to look at Kiera Olsen.
Resentment flashed in her eyes.
Back in university, Kiera Olsen kept to herself, not as sociable with classmates as Erin… but now…
Their statuses could not be more different!
In front of absolute strength, Erin Davis could only bow her head, “Kiera Olsen, I slandered you, I was wrong! Please, let me go! I will never gossip about you again, I beg you to let me find a job, I don’t want to leave Oceanion…”
Kiera Olsen lowered her gaze, never one to be a saint, she simply stated, “When you make a mistake, you must pay the price, Mr. Davis, I don’t want to see her at the banquet anymore.”
“Understood… Mrs. Horton,” said Tom Davis.
With a wave of Tom’s hand, a bodyguard grabbed Erin Davis by the arm and dragged her out.
Charles Riley and the other classmates felt it was a bit cruel, but thinking about what Erin Davis had done to Kiera Olsen, they shut their mouths.

Isla Olsen clenched her fists tightly at her side.
At this moment, Kiera Olsen was truly in the spotlight!
She had become the hostess of the Horton Family… would she not then be above herself in status?!
Isla Olsen had gone to great lengths to marry Jake Horton, yet Kiera Olsen had become Lewis Horton’s wife at a mere turn…
Suddenly, Isla Olsen spoke up, “Kiera Olsen, Erin Davis simply spoke out of turn a few times, was this really necessary? If this gets out, it will only make the hostess of the Horton Family seem small-minded, getting caught up in such trifles!”
“Is that so?”
Kiera Olsen’s peach blossom eyes swept over, her gaze sharply turning towards her, “Do you think anyone can insult the Horton Family’s hostess without paying any price? Is the dignity of the Horton Family so unimportant in your eyes?”
Isla Olsen wanted to retort, but Lewis Horton said indifferently, “Is this how you speak to your elders? If you’re not convinced and dare to talk back to an elder, then you will be dealt with by family law!”
Isla Olsen choked fiercely!!
She and Jake Horton looked sharply at Kiera Olsen, only at this moment realizing that Kiera was no longer that illegitimate daughter. She now had the support, the backing!
Erin Davis was quickly gagged and dragged out.
The entire banquet hall fell silent.
After a moment, Nathan Horton suddenly said, “Why is the old Mrs. Horton taking so long in the bathroom? Someone should quickly go find her, today is her birthday banquet…”
No sooner had he spoken than some were about to go fetch her, but Lewis Horton suddenly spoke again, “No hurry. Let’s sort things out first and then let grandma come out, to spare her the agitation from these events.”
Nathan Horton furrowed his brows, “What else is there to sort out? Hasn’t everything been clarified? Since it’s a misunderstanding, it should be all good once cleared up.”
No sooner had these words fallen, than the outside butler came in with two police officers, “We received a report that someone here has broken the law!”
Nathan Horton immediately furrowed his brows, “We didn’t call the police…”
“I reported it.”
Lewis Horton’s voice was cool, “My wife and I’s private photos were suddenly made public, someone has violated our right to privacy!”
At these words, Isla Olsen and Jake Horton’s faces changed dramatically!
They looked at each other, nervously clutching their clothes.
When they orchestrated this, they just thought about tarnishing Lewis Horton’s reputation with the photos, never considering he would take it as far as calling the police!
Seeing this, Oliver Horton immediately stepped forward, “It’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding, it must be the domestic helpers who accidentally did it, Lewis, these things are without evidence, why bother having the police coming here for nothing?”
Isla Olsen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s right… they had avoided the cameras when they were plotting, as long as they denied everything, there surely wouldn’t be a problem!
But the next moment, they heard Lewis Horton calmly say, “Who says I don’t have evidence?”
