Lewis had changed into a new suit of the same style and as he descended the stairs slowly. There was a
palpable sense of oppression that pervaded the entire banquet hall.
His gaze was intent, and after reaching the bottom of the stairs, he first looked toward the screen before surveying the surroundings.
He quickly spotted Keira and strode over to her.
But to his surprise, he was intercepted by Poppy.
She rushed in front of Lewis and clung to his lower leg. “Mr. Horton, I am Keira’s mother. You’ve slept with her, so you must give her an explanation. You can’t just leave things unresolved!”
Lewis frowned. He wanted to kick her away, but when he remembered that this woman was, after all, Keira’s mother, he still showed some restraint and merely shook her off before turning his gaze to Tom.
With a wave of Tom’s hand, two bodyguards in black immediately rushed over and grabbed Poppy.

Poppy sat on the ground, slapping her thighs and crying., “Come and see, someone is going to murder me! Mr. Horton slept with my daughter and refuses to take responsibility…”
The next moment, a rag was viciously stuffed into her mouth by Tom!
Poppy couldn’t speak a word anymore and only could make muffled whining sounds.
Tom then picked at his ear. “Finally quiet. Your wailing was really annoying!”
This sequence of actions swiftly took care of the
noisiest person at the scene.
Yet Lewis was stopped again by Jake, “Uncle Lewis, with so many executives here, shouldn’t you give us an explanation about what’s on the screen?”
Lewis’s gaze sharpened as he looked toward him.
Jake swallowed nervously, no longer daring to speak.
Jake’s father, Oliver started talking. “Lewis, as the person in charge of Horton Group, you should set an example. How could you be so reckless and even allow evidence to be captured…”

He sighed. “Today, many reporters are here to cover the grand occasion of your grandmother’s birthday banquet. Even if you can silence us, you can’t silence them. So now, we need a practical plan!”
Lewis remained composed but didn’t rush to explain. Instead, he looked at his brother, “What kind of plan should we come up with?”
Oliver didn’t speak.
But someone among the executives behind him spoke up. “Mr. Horton, we want to know. Is the photo real?”
Lewis glanced at the photo again, and his expression remained indifferent, “It’s real.”
As soon as he said that, the people around immediately started buzzing with conversation.
“Mr. Horton isn’t even trying to hide it? It’s actually
real!”
“Yeah, in such a situation, no matter what, he shouldn’t
have admitted it! Now that he has admitted it, what
will he do next?”
“Is Mr. Horton willing to risk everything for this femme fatale? He’s even disregarding Mrs. Horton’s feelings!”

Speaking of Mrs. Horton, everyone instinctively looked toward Madeleine.
But they saw her continue to step back and then looked at Lewis with eyes full of sorrow.
Lewis, however, didn’t look at her and only focused on the executive. “Anything else?”
“Mr. Horton, we’ve heard that Miss Olsen is married?”
“Correct.”
Lewis nodded again.,
The executive was taken aback. He had hoped that Lewis would argue for the sake of his reputation, maybe by saying he was unaware she was married…
The executive said awkwardly, “Did Miss Olsen sedu you? Was that why you couldn’t control yourself fo moment?”
Lewis lowered his gaze. “No, Miss Olsen and I are in love with each other.”
After those words, the room erupted in an uproar that could blow the roof off. Everyone stared at him in
disbelief.

“My God! Mr. Horton is openly admitting to cheating!”
“Keira sure is beautiful. She has completely enchanted Mr. Horton! She’s really something!”
“What a pair of adulterous scum! They have no shame at all!”
Even the executive who had asked the question was at a loss for words for a moment.
Oliver frowned. “Lewis, have you lost your mind? You’re married, how can you stoop so low with a married woman?! Every action you take represents the image of the company. You can’t act recklessly and do whatever you please! Kick that mistress out right now, or else you may not be able to hold onto your CEO’s position!”
At these words, Keira, who had been standing aside, raised her eyebrows.
She thought to herself how that curtain had mysteriously revealed their presence, so it was the first branch of the family’s doing, aiming to ruin
Lewis’s reputation and pull him down from the CEO’s
position!

She found it laughable and couldn’t help but curl her lips into a mocking smile.
Isla said, “Keira, what are you laughing at? Do you think you’ve stolen my uncle from my aunt? Don’t you have any sense of decency? I advise you to leave
quickly! Go live a good life with your husband and stop trying to break up my uncle and aunt!”
The people around them were all talking.
“Exactly, I’ve never seen such an arrogant mistress. Even if Mr. Horton is impressive, the way he’s handled this situation is utterly contemptible!”
“I used to think Mr. Horton was deeply devoted to his wife, staying away from other women for so many years, but it was all a facade! It was all an act, right?”
“Oh my, what an eye-opener today! I’ve seen many mistresses before, but never one who could bewitch
someone to this extent!”
“This Keira is a disaster! A calamity!”
“Keira, if you truly love Mr. Horton, then have the decency to step back. Are you so selfish that for your so-called mutual love, you would drag Mr. Horton

The executives surrounding Lewis were giving him a hard time.
The group of rich ladies surrounding Keira were also accusing her.
Keira frowned, ready to retort with a cold laugh when her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Mrs. Olsen.
Mrs. Olsen was trembling slightly as she stared at Keira. “Keira, I’m asking you one last time, will you leave with me or not?”
Her voice was trembling, her eyes resolute.
Seeing her like this, Keira felt inexplicably distressed. “Mrs. Olsen, I won’t go.”
Mrs. Olsen gripped her wrist even tighter, fixing her gaze on her.
After a long moment, she saw the determination in Keira’s eyes and let out a bitter smile.
She took the marriage certificate from Taylor’s hand and handed it to Keira. “Keira, if you don’t leave with me today, I’ll never see you again.”

Leaving those words behind, she pressed the marriage certificate into Keira’s hand and turned to leave
resolutely.
But just as she turned, Lewis’s deep, clear voice slowly filled the entire hall.
“You want an explanation from me? I think it’s you who owes me an explanation.
“My wife and I had our photos displayed so publicly. Haven’t you violated our right to privacy as a couple?”
