My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

Her entire body was shaking.

Ugh!

Was it illegal to kill someone?!

For some reason, in her rage, she even began to feel a dull pain coming from her abdomen.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself and suppress the ache, she turned to Keira, frowning deeply. "Ms. Olsen, Miss Martin, what you\'re saying is just absurd! No wonder Ryan doesn\'t believe you—I don\'t either! Stop trying to scam us!"

Keira replied calmly, "There are two minutes left. Let\'s see who\'s really scamming who, shall we?"

Selena let out a mocking laugh. "I know why you\'re here. You\'re just trying to partner up with the Gill family. But I\'m curious—your family and the Hortons are both filthy rich. Is partnering with the Gills really that crucial? Or maybe… you\'ve got some ulterior motive?"

Keira narrowed her eyes. "All my dealings with the Gills are completely aboveboard. Nora Institute doesn\'t need to work with them for any hidden agenda."

Selena scoffed, "Really? Because from what I\'ve heard, you practically begged Gills to get the deal with them. I mean, come on—Nora Institute is a big name. People all over the world would kill to collaborate with you. But you chose the Gills, offering terms that are suspiciously reasonable. If that\'s not fishy, I don\'t know what is."

She turned to Ryan, insisting, "Ryan, they\'re hiding something for sure! You can\'t trust them!"

Ryan\'s normally calm eyes were now cold as ice as he looked at Keira.

Seeing this, Erin was about to step forward, but Keira held out a hand, stopping her. She said, "What\'s your point, Selena? Nora Institute\'s collaborations are based on market research. Sure, we\'ve got plenty of international partners, but since we opened our institute in Clance, of course, we\'d work with domestic businesses. The Gill family runs the largest medical operation in the city. Who else should we work with if not them? Or do you think there\'s a better medical institution than the Gills?"

Keira\'s sharp words left Selena speechless.

She hesitated. "But... I heard you only got the deal with the Gills because you begged Nara for it."

Keira responded coolly, "Nara is my friend, and her brother is a colleague from the Freeman Sect. If you really think that\'s suspicious, then by your logic, maybe Nara\'s secretly trying to infiltrate Nora Institute on behalf of her family?"

Selena stammered, "Of course not…"

"Exactly. I\'ve nearly fallen out with the Gills over Nara in the past. Lucky for us, she\'s their long-lost daughter, or that deal would\'ve gone south. Selena, don\'t assume everyone else is as underhanded as you."

Selena was speechless

What…?

Keera was usually quiet and reserved, so where was all this sass suddenly coming from? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Usually quiet?

That word stuck in Selena\'s mind, and she suddenly realized that she had been thinking of Keera as if she were the same person as the late Keira Olsen from Oceanion.

Yes.

The woman in front of her looked just like that Keira. But Keera was always more reserved, rarely speaking, even when she was at the Horton residence.

So, Selena had never connected her with the Keira from Oceanion until now.

They were practically identical!

Selena felt a nagging sense of familiarity, but she still couldn\'t quite figure it out.

Frowning deeply, she snapped, "Fine, let\'s say your deal with the Gills is legit, but the Cobb family already cut ties with you. Why are you still trying so hard to get in?

"The Cobb family always sticks up for their own! I think you\'re just holding a grudge because we stopped working with you, and now you\'re here to cause trouble."

Selena turned to Ryan again. "Ryan, your meeting is starting soon, with an international medical team no less. What if Keira\'s stalling you on purpose to mess with your business? Who knows what she\'s up to?"

Ryan glanced at Keira, his eyes narrowing.

He wasn\'t easily swayed by Selena\'s outbursts, but she did have a point—business deals should be voluntary. And with the tension between the Hortons and the Cobb family, it would be better for everyone if he just walked away from this partnership. No need to cause awkwardness or hard feelings down the line.

Impatiently, he said, "Ms. Olsen, please step aside."

Keira didn\'t move. Instead, she looked at her phone and began to count down. "Ten, nine…"

Selena scoffed. "It\'s five seconds to ten. We\'re standing right here, so how\'s a car crash going to happen?"

As soon as Selena finished her sentence, Keira completed her countdown, locking eyes with Ryan.

Next to them, Erin snapped her fingers with a grin. "Time\'s up!"

Everyone turned to Ryan.

He was standing right by the entrance—how could a serious car crash possibly happen now?
