My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire -

Isla’s eyes betrayed a trace of panic as her gaze was firmly locked onto that report.
Tom then walked in and handed the report to Keira.
Keira glanced at it, and sure enough, it didn’t match.
She looked at Jake with a smile that wasn’t quite a
smile.
Jake sneered. “Now that the report is out, let’s show it to everyone and see what’s going on!”
Right as Keira was about to hand the report over to Jake, a hand suddenly reached out and snatched the
report away.
Poppy glanced at the report, and her pupils
immediately contracted. She stared at Isla in disbelief.
Isla’s eyes flickered guiltily. “Aunt Hill, why are you looking at me? Show us the report now…It can prove my innocence!”
Jake also said, “Exactly, bring it over to prove Isla’s innocence, so Uncle Lewis and Keira stop framing her!”

But as Jake came over to take the report, Poppy
suddenly crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into her
mouth.
Everyone was dumbfounded
Jake was shocked. “What are you doing?”
Isla also asked anxiously, “Aunt Hill, what are you doing? Spit out the report…”
But the more they said, the more resolute Poppy became, swallowing it forcefully. “This report is fake. I can’t show it to you! Otherwise, if you leave evidence behind, what if you sue Keira?”
Jake was furious. “You…!”
The corners of Isla’s lips curled slightly.
She had brought Poppy here just for this moment.
Unfortunately, her smug expression didn’t last long on her face before she heard Keira’s clear, cold voice. “It’s just a report, isn’t it? If it’s eaten, just print another.
Tom…
Tom smiled, “Alright, I’ll go print another one now…”
With that, he left the room.

Poppy glared viciously at Keira, then suddenly turned to Jake. “Young Mr. Horton, could you please leave first? I’ll try to persuade Keira to confess…”
Jake sneered. “She killed my child. Why should I give her that chance?!”
Poppy was a bit at a loss for a reply.
Then Isla said, “Jake, for the sake of us having been classmates, I’m willing to give Keira a chance…”
Classmates for four years…
Jake pursed his lips, thinking of the four years when he pursued Keira with simple and pure intent.
He looked at Keira again, suddenly feeling a bit soft-hearted. “Fine, Keira, I’ll give you this one chance. If you admit your wrong deeds and accept the punishment, I’ll let it drop. Otherwise, I definitely won’t let you off!”
Having said that, he turned to leave.
Isla said, “I’ll stay behind to persuade her too…”
“Fine.”
After Isla saw Jake out, she closed the door, isolating

the bodyguards and everyone else’s prying eyes, then she turned around with a vicious look and dropped the pretense completely. “Keira, you are not allowed to take out that report!”
Seeing her change of face, Keira scoffed. “Why not?”
“Because you’re not allowed! Where’s your reason?” Isla glared at her. “If you take it out, it’ll spell disaster
for me!”
Keira looked at her. “You brought this upon yourself by lifting a stone only to drop it on your own foot. What does that have to do with me? If you hadn’t framed me, I wouldn’t be so petty with you…”
“You…!”
Keira’s face turned cold. “Isla, don’t mistake my repeated concessions for weakness! This time, it’s a
mess of your own making!”
Isla clenched her fists tightly.
Poppy exclaimed in surprise. “Isla, why isn’t the child young Mr. Horton’s? How can it not be young Mr. Horton’s? Who’s the father?”
Isla frowned in disgust. “It doesn’t matter whose it is.

The Horton family must not find out about this; otherwise, I’m done for!”
If she divorced Jake, especially under these
circumstances, even with the protection of the Clance Olsen Family, she wouldn’t be able to find a
respectable new husband!
Upon hearing this, Poppy immediately nodded in agreement. “Yes, they must not know!”
After saying this, she turned directly to Keira. “You ungrateful creature, you better keep quiet! Do you hear me?! Seal your lips, and you also need to persuade Lewis to keep quiet as well! If Isla gets divorced by the Horton family because of this, you’ll have to answer to me!”
Keira said indifferently, “Whatever.”
“You…!”
Poppy pointed at her, furious, but as she looked up at Keira, taller than her, and thought about her combat skills, she realized she was now completely powerless against her.
A ruthless look flashed in Poppy’s eyes.

“Bang!”
Suddenly, Isla knelt in front of Keira.
Poppy was startled, then rushed over, grabbing Isla by the arm. “Isla, you’re the young miss, how can you kneel to her? Get up…”
But Isla pushed Poppy away, her face no longer showing madness but just calmness. “Keira, I’m begging you, please spare me this once.”
Keira looked down at her from above.
A trace of confusion flickered in her eyes.
Ever since they were young, she was always Isla’s sidekick. When they were kids, Isla would often make
her kneel…
She had knelt to put shoes on for Isla…
She knelt so Isla could step on her to mount a horse…
She knelt to scrub the floor at the Olsen’s house…
She knelt in front of Isla to be scolded…
It wasn’t until middle school that she regained her dignity and never knelt before anyone again.

kneel before her.
Yet, there was no sense of vindication from revenge, only the realization of how naive and ridiculous her younger self had been!
Keira gazed at her, saying, “I told you. It was you who framed me first. That report was the only evidence I had to prove my innocence.”
Isla shouted immediately, “It doesn’t matter. I’ll tell everyone I won’t pursue it. I’ll help prove you’re innocent and say it wasn’t intentional… Right, and there’s the Clance Olsen family-I’ll plead for you too. Keira, the Clance Olsen family has more power than the Horton family. Do you really think Lewis’s appearance downstairs can suppress Uncle Olsen? If Uncle Olsen really gets angry, Lewis won’t be able to protect you! But I can…”
Isla tried to persuade her first, and upon seeing her unmoved, she began to make threats. “Of course, if I really get divorced by the Horton family, I’ll definitely beg my dad to disown you! But if you just step back and admit your mistakes, I can make everyone forgive you. Isn’t that the best of both worlds… How about it?”

Keira lowered her gaze. “There’s something I don’t
understand.”
“What?”
“Why did you want to abort the child?”
As Keira finished the sentence, her hand slipped into her pocket and turned on the voice recorder.
None of them noticed her subtle movement, especially with her phone in her other hand. Upon hearing this question, Isla’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and without any hesitation, she confessed.
“Because this child is an obstacle on my path to happiness! As long as it exists, it’s a threat to me! What if after it’s born, it doesn’t resemble Jake? Keeping it means endless trouble. It’s just a baby. I’m still young. I can always have many more in the future…”
To appear sincere and convince Keira, Isla was blunt with her words. It was the first time she exposed her true feelings in front of them. “I must marry into the Horton family to lead a life above others, Keira. You don’t understand! This is my obsession! For this, I can sacrifice everything!!”
