My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

Chapter 181  Confrontation

Ellis was dumbfounded.

Watching Lewis from behind, Ellis was dumbfounded before he couldn't help but smile. "What was that? He asks for my help and still acts so arrogantly as if I would bother with other people's business!"

After finishing his thought, he silently sighed.

Back when he was studying abroad, he had noticed that there was something extraordinary about Lewis.

Lewis had an exceptional IQ and could grasp everything at once. After Ellis told his third uncle about it, his uncle asked him to mingle with smart people like Lewis and learn from them.

As if Lewis was better than him.

Ellis had always been unconvinced, and when he graduated from his studies abroad, his uncle even told him that if he couldn't become close friends, or "bros", with Lewis, then he should consider arranging a marriage alliance.

Unfortunately, with his third uncle in charge at home, and Ellis's father and other uncles only having sons, he had no female cousins to offer for the alliance.

So, Ellis and his uncle searched among the collateral branches and picked out two girls who were both pretty and competent. They were then adopted under Ellis's eldest uncle's name, hoping that Lewis would take a liking to one of them.

But when Ellis made this suggestion, Lewis outright rejected it!!

Did this damn man not take the Clance Olsen family seriously at all?

Dissatisfied, Ellis took a couple of bites of his pasta when his phone vibrated.

He glanced at it and saw a WhatsApp message from his third uncle. "You visited Mrs. Olsen tonight. How is she?"

Ellis didn't know what to say.

He dared not say that Mrs. Olsen had fainted in front of him from anger. His uncle would scold him for being useless!

Recalling the direction in which Lewis and Keira had left, Ellis couldn't help but put down his fork and then got up and walk toward the hospital.

...

Keira's expression returned to its usual coldness, and her thoughts slowly calmed down.

When she briskly entered the hospital, four black-clad bodyguards, handpicked for their loyalty to Lewis, were already standing at the entrance.

All four had their hands behind their backs, each looking strong and formidable, not something ordinary security could match.

Upon seeing her, they immediately stood up straight and respectfully said, "Good evening, Mrs. Horton."

...

Keira twitched the corners of her mouth and gave a light cough when she heard Lewis's deep voice from behind her. "All four have a special forces background. They'll ensure that Mrs. Olsen has access to whomever she wishes to see."

Keira nodded and led the way.

Lewis followed half a step behind her.

The four bodyguards were surprised at this and exchanged glances.

After so many years following their boss, Lewis had always been the man at the top, the one to walk in front. When had he ever stepped aside for anyone?

This made the four of them immediately understand Keira's significance to Lewis.

They watched Keira from behind, their eyes filled with even more respect, as they followed closely behind Lewis.

The six of them made their way mightily to the hospital room.

Lewis had arranged for Mrs. Olsen to stay in the VIP ward, which consisted of a bedroom and a living room.

At that moment, Isla and Jake were sitting in the living room. They had ordered takeout and were having dinner.

When Keira entered, Jake was anxiously looking at the bedroom. "Can my father-in-law manage without eating anything?"

Upon hearing this, Isla sighed. "Dad is too worried about Mom. I guess he won't eat anything until Mom wakes up..."

Hearing this, Jake thought of his parents' relationship at home, of his mother waiting anxiously every day with the hope that Dad would stay home and not go to that other woman.

And each night that Dad stayed was a feast for Mom.

Lowering his eyes, he couldn't help but say, "Taylor loves your mother so much..."

"Yeah," Isla's eyes were welled with tears. "Dad is also the most affectionate man I've ever seen."

Hearing this, a sense of guilt suddenly surged in Jake's heart, and he swiftly took her hand. "Isla, don't worry. I'll learn from my father-in-law in the future."

Perhaps moved by the sight of Taylor, or perhaps finally realizing that it was inappropriate to keep thinking about Keira, he let out a wry smile. "I was wrong before. I liked Keira for four years and couldn't let go for a while..."

Isla then said, "It's okay, Jake, I don't mind. Even a man like Dad has made mistakes. As a child, I always felt that my parents were the most loving couple in the world. But whenever I saw Keira and her mom, I knew that there has always been an insurmountable gulf between my parents, an irreparable crack..."

At this point, Jake wrapped his arm around her shoulders, his eyes showing a hint of hatred. "Illegitimate daughters and the like are the most abhorrent and despicable!"

Isla nodded in agreement.

As the two were talking, the door was pushed open, and Keira walked in.

Upon seeing her, Isla immediately frowned.

Jake also abruptly stood up. Noticing Isla's complete rejection and the budding guilt within him, he stepped in front of Isla and rebuked Keira. "Keira, what are you doing here? Haven't you caused enough chaos for the Olsen family?!" Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Isla, with reddened eyes, also cried out, "Uncle, I'm begging you! I know you want to defend your wife, but my mom really can't be agitated... You all heard what the doctor just said. She had a fit of rage! She's about to wake up. Can't you stop bothering her?!"

Keira looked at her calmly. "I didn't mean to disturb Mrs. Olsen. Right before she fainted, she obviously had something to tell me. If Mrs. Olsen wakes up and says even a word for me to leave, I will go right away."

But Isla scoffed. "We don't need to wait for my mom to wake up. She's my mom! What I say goes. I want you to leave now!"

Jake immediately stood in front of Isla. "That's right, Uncle, Keira, no matter what you do today, you're not getting through this door!"

Isla instantly looked at him appreciatively, bowing her head she said in a plaintive tone. "Jake, thank you."

"We are husband and wife; there's no need for such formalities."

At that moment, Jake felt full of power in his chest, like he was a real man.

Keira, unaccustomed to indulging them, immediately waved her hand.

The four burly men in black outside the room promptly entered, one of them grabbing Jake and holding him to the side as if he were a chicken!

Keira didn't even glance at him, she took control of the ward and strode over to Mrs. Olsen's bedside!
