My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 139

139 Identity 

Everyone turned their heads to see Lewis and were 

stunned. 

Someone who didn’t know who that was asked, “Who 

is this?” 

The person next to them immediately replied, “That’s Jake’s uncle, the current man in charge of the Horton family! I saw him on the financial news channel just a few days ago…” 

No sooner had they finished explaining than Professor Miller stood up, exclaiming in surprise. “Mr. Horton?” 

The Horton Group gave a substantial amount of support to Oceanion University’s labs every year, and now that Professor Miller had become the dean of the Energy College, of course, he had dealt with Lewis before. 

As he stood up, the others immediately followed suit. 

Jake and Isla exchanged glances and both smiled. 

What a large-scale adultery bust! 

Jake looked down and politely called out, “Uncle, what

brings you here?” 

Lewis glanced at Keira and Scott before looking away and said in a deep voice, “I heard it’s Professor Miller’s birthday, and I happened to be in the area, so I came to have a look. Why? Am I not welcome?” 

“How could that be!” 

Jake gestured toward Keira’s seat. “Uncle, please take a 

seat.” 

The seat of honor belonged to Professor Miller, who as today’s birthday star and elder, couldn’t possibly give up his seat. Given Lewis’s status, Keira immediately moved down one spot. 

Lewis walked over without ceremony and sat between 

her and Professor Miller. 

Upon seeing this, Isla cheerfully said, “Mr. Martin, what are you waiting for? Please, take a seat.” 

Scott, hearing this, gave Keira a look, thought for a moment, and sat next to her. The classmate who had been sitting next to Keira immediately stood up and vacated his seat, allowing Scott to sit down without 

hesitation.

And so… 

Keira found herself sandwiched between Scott and 

Lewis. 

Keira, suddenly feeling a chill coming from Lewis, was puzzled. 

She looked at Lewis, bemused. 

Just as she was about to ask why he came over, Professor Miller spoke first. “Keira, didn’t you have some misunderstanding with Mr. Horton before? Has it been resolved now?” 

Keira smiled. “Yes.” 

“That’s good to hear.” Professor Miller sighed in relief. 

Even though Keira was Dr. South, she was merely a research staff, and for the Hortons, the wealthiest family in Oceanion, snuffing her out was as simple as lifting a finger. 

Professor Miller then turned to Lewis. “Mr. Horton, it’s good that you’re here. I have some experimental data that I was just about to report to the Horton Group…” 

He began to talk to Lewis.

This left Keira with no chance to inquire further. She sighed in resignation and suddenly felt a tug at her 

sleeve. 

Keira turned her head to see Scott looking at her. 

The man’s expression was warm and smiling. “Miss Olsen, do you remember who I am now? Could we add each other on WhatsApp?” 

Keira had already figured out what was going on. 

This man had no ill intent. He was called over for no reason, and considering he had taken time off from his construction site to come here, Keira found it difficult to refuse outright, so she merely nodded and took out her phone. 

Scott scanned her QR code and sent a WhatsApp 

request. 

Not far from them, Charles saw what happened and immediately said, “Did you see that? Dr. South and this gentleman just added each other on WhatsApp. They really didn’t know each other!” 

Erin couldn’t stand him speaking up for Keira and immediately scoffed. “Brown-noser, you’re so eager to 

clear things un for your hood What? Is she going to 

09:13 

4/9 

give you a promotion and raise?” 

Charles said, “You….!” 

Erin instantly turned her gaze to Keira. “Who can’t act? It’s just a scan of a code.” 

However, Charles had already believed Keira, and at the same time, he had realized something. Even if she really wanted a temporary, there was no need for her to marry a construction worker from a job site. 

He hadn’t spoken yet when a male student beside them spoke up. “Erin, that’s enough. Targeting Keira over and over today is indeed too much! I also think that Keira wouldn’t marry a migrant worker. In college, 

she didn’t even give Mr. Horton….” 

The words “a second thought” were forcibly swallowed 

down. 

He gave a sheepish smile. 

Jake’s gaze, however, turned gloomy. 

Erin snorted. “She was just putting on airs, right? Later, she wanted him, but Mr. Horton didn’t want her. I remember sitting behind Keira at the graduation ceremony. When I saw Lewis proposing to Isla, Keira’s

eyes widened! Do you think she really didn’t want it? She just couldn’t have it!” 

Upon hearing this, Jake was slightly startled and suddenly turned his gaze toward Keira. 

Did Erin’s words mean… that if the surprise he had prepared for Keira at graduation had been given to her, she would have accepted his love?! 

Jake had pursued her for four years, always feeling like 

he had no chance. 

The final act was merely to draw a conclusion for 

himself.

It never occurred to him that she would be an illegitimate daughter. Upon learning of this, he was furious, yet all the surprises had already been arranged, and his classmates were ready to play along Out of desperation, he intentionally chose Isla. 

For a moment, Jake didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh. 

She had cared about him at one point! 

But what of it?! 

Her background doomed her to be someone he could 

09:13

never truly consider. 

His mother would never allow him to marry an 

illegitimate daughter! 

Jake steeled himself, and when he looked up again, the bewilderment in his eyes had vanished, replaced by a more forbidding air. 

Erin continued. “Isla comes from a wealthy family and has a well-matched marriage with Mr. Horton. The two together make a powerful union. And what is Keira?” 

Charles sneered. “Keira is my boss, Dr. South! What do you think? Certainly better than someone like you, right? But would you go for a migrant worker as a 

husband?” 

Erin was speechless. 

And just then, Isla suddenly spoke up. “Actually, I’m also puzzled, Keira. Why would you choose such a person? When he came to visit yesterday, Dad and

She deliberately emphasized this sentence, leading Erin to question in confusion. “Isla, you’ve been saying all along that she went to your place. Why would she 

09:13

take her husband there?” 

Isla immediately showed a look of embarrassment. “That… Well, Keira, I’m sorry, I let it slip by accident…” 

Keira suddenly tensed up. 

Beside her, Lewis’s gaze darkened. Just as he was about to speak, Keira suddenly grabbed his hand under the 

table. 

Lewis was taken aback, then saw Keira slowly raise her 

head. 

Her back was straight, her eyes shifting from despair 

to a slow determination. 

Her identity had always been a pain she didn’t want to talk about, but she knew she had to learn to face it 

openly. 

Keira began to speak, enunciating each word deliberately. “Because I am the Olsen family’s illegitimate daughter.”
