My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

Chapter 129 - 129:  Stock Market

Isla and Jake even exchanged glances, both confused.

Why had their uncle come back with Keira?

Taylor also frowned, a flicker of panic and concern flashing in his eyes.

Could Keira's husband be …

They were lost in thought when Keira got out of the car, and everyone immediately turned to see who was behind her, but they saw …

No one else got out.

They all peered through the car door, looking inside the car, and indeed there was no one else except the driver.

Mrs. Olsen asked in puzzlement, "Keira, where is your husband?"

Upon hearing this, Keira paused for a moment.

Two minutes ago.

Just as their car had made a turn and was about to arrive at the Olsen residence, Lewis's phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, and his expression immediately turned grave; he answered the call at once.

Whatever was said on the other end, Lewis ground his teeth. He looked at Keira apologetically. "I have a very important matter …"

"Go," she said.

Keira had never been a sentimental woman; she immediately spoke up.

But Lewis hesitated, "What about Mrs. Olsen …"

"There will be plenty of other opportunities for getting acquainted. Let the car stop so I can get out," she said.

Lewis was usually unreadable in his actions, but this time he looked anxious, clearly an urgent matter was at hand.

He thought for two seconds, then immediately said, "Stop the car."

The car stopped at the side of the road, and as Keira was about to get out, Lewis held her arm. "You take the car. The gifts are all in the trunk. I think I can handle this in an hour, and then I'll come and pick you up."

Leaving those words, he and Tom got out of the car.

The moment the two men got out of the car, Lewis's bodyguards stopped at the curb in another car.

Lewis hurried into the car and quickly left.

Thus, Keira arrived at the Olsens' alone.

Upon hearing Mrs. Olsen's question and about to say something, her gaze swept over Isla and Jake, and she understood that if she claimed that Lewis was her husband, these two would again accuse her of wishful thinking.

Sometimes the truth was simply not believed.

Keira didn't wish to disrupt dinner or exacerbate Mrs. Olsen's concerns, so she simply said with a composed demeanor, "He's busy with something and will come later."

Taylor couldn't help but interject. "What could he possibly be so busy with?"

Isla immediately laughed. "Dad, don't say that. Being with family might be the most important thing to you, but for ordinary people, earning some overtime pay is better than anything. Isn't that right, Keira?"

Mrs. Olsen, not wanting Keira to be embarrassed, quickly interjected. "It's good as long as he can come."

The driver got out of the car, opened the trunk, and began taking out the prepared gifts one by one.

The number of gifts wasn't as many as what Jake Horton had brought, but the quality was just as good, if not better.

After putting down the six gifts, the driver said, "Miss Olsen, I'll wait for you in the car."

"Okay, thank you,"

Keira said her thanks, then held Mrs. Olsen's arm and led her inside.

Behind her, Jake Horton suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Keira, my uncle really dotes on you. He even lent you his car and took things from the Horton family for you to give as gifts. But does he know you came with your husband to see your relatives?"

His words were sarcastic, making Mrs. Olsen frown.

Keira glanced at him indifferently. "Jake, how did the Horton family teach you manners? Are you so free to pry and joke about an elder's private affairs?"

Jake was taken aback, clenching his fists.

Keira smiled a little.

Mrs. Olsen immediately said, "Jake, there must be some misunderstanding between Keira and Mr. Horton. Don't jump to conclusions. Keira has always been self-reliant; she isn't that kind of person."

Jake wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Olsen said, "Keira, let's have a chat and wait for your husband."

Keira said, "That won't be necessary. Mrs. Olsen, let's have dinner."

Having started her own business, she understood how many things a company had to deal with each day. Lewis said he would come to pick her up, but he might not be able to make it on time.

With Isla and Jake here...

She just wanted to check on Mrs. Olsen, then quickly finish the meal and leave.

Mrs. Olsen obviously understood her intentions and thus led everyone to the dining room.

They all took their seats.

The kitchen began to serve the dishes.

Looking at the dishes in front of her, Isla suddenly said kindly, "Keira, did your husband have dinner? He probably hasn't had such a lavish meal, right? Maybe you should save a bit of each dish for him, so he won't have to eat leftovers."

Keira didn't respond.

Isla and Jake were truly a match made in heaven. They never knew when to stop.

She smiled faintly. "My husband can certainly afford a meal."

Isla immediately explained, "That's not what I meant..."

Mrs. Olsen frowned and said sharply, "Isla, that's enough! Keira is Dr. South. Even if her husband has an ordinary job, their family isn't in need of money!"

Isla pursed her lips and said sarcastically, "Mom, how can you say they aren't short on money? Have you forgotten the last time Keira came to you to borrow money for stock trading?"

At these words, Jake and Taylor immediately turned their gaze toward Keira.

Taylor asked with knitted brows. "You went into stock trading? The stock market is so volatile right now; only a fool would enter the market lightly. What stocks were you trading?" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Isla chimed in. "Keira, did you invest all the money you earned into the stock market and lose it? Is that why you haven't bought a house or a car up to now? Mom is right. As Dr. South, you shouldn't be short of money."

Keira looked at her with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "I'm not short of money."

"If you're not short of money, why did you borrow from Mom to trade stocks?" Isla burst out in anger as she brought up the matter.

Because Keira borrowed the money, Isla couldn't come up with the five million for Finley, which resulted in Connor killing Finley, and Connor had gone to jail...

This left her with a ticking time bomb.

After all, she didn't know when Connor might spill the secret of her parentage!

Taylor, too, frowned and looked at Mrs. Olsen. "Shirley, you really spoil the child too much. She said she wanted to trade stocks, and you lent her the money? Throwing money into the stock market like that is unwise!"

Mrs. Olsen defended Keira. "Keira said at the time that she had insider information..."

"What insider information?" Jake sneered. "I think she probably got scammed! The stock market is dangerous right now. No matter how much money you have, you'd lose it all! Fine if you suffer a loss, but why drag the Olsen family down with you?"

Keira frowned. She immediately took out her phone and passed it to them. "Who says I lost money?"
