My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！ - Chapter 501

501  Chapter 500

Hearing that, Nathan and Oliver were instantly dumbfounded.

What did Uncle Olsen mean by that?

A provocation?

Both of their faces turned livid with anger, but still, they dared not disobey Uncle Olsen’s command, and they hastily said, “Okay, then we’ll go have a look!”

The three of them turned around and headed toward the noisy corner of the banquet hall.

Peter and Susan stood frozen in place, completely baffled.

Susan swallowed nervously. “Peter, what does your uncle mean by that? Does he want them to see how handsome the gigolo is and then forgive your sister for cheating?

Peter was also confused.

He had seen that gigolo, who was undoubtedly handsome, even better-looking than many celebrities. But why had his uncle called those two over to see that man?

Was he planning to cancel the engagement?

That must be it… right?

Peter immediately took Susan with him and followed behind Uncle Olsen.

At that moment, Keira was making her way through the crowd and spotted Lewis standing at the entrance, his face livid.

Victoria pointed at him and berated him loudly. “You gigolo, stop ruining Mr. Horton’s birthday party! Get out of here right now!”

The onlookers were also pointing at Lewis and whispering among themselves.

“The Olsen family has gone too far this time, haven’t they? It’s Mr. Lewis Horton’s birthday party, and they even brought the gigolo here. They are disrespecting Mr. Horton!”

“Doesn’t the Horton family care at all? Or are they just going to swallow this insult quietly?”

“That is the Olsen family, after all. The marriage will surely bring lots of benefits to the Horton family. Otherwise, how could they tolerate such disgrace?”

“You’re being narrow-minded. Do you know who the Horton family is? They are the wealthiest in Oceanion! Their power is no less than the Olsen family’s; this marriage is indeed a union of equals!”

“No matter how powerful they are, once they are in Clance, they have to consider the local bigshot. That’s why the Horton family wanted to marry into the Olsen family’s daughter…”

“Regardless, Miss Olsen is so inappropriate. To think she could do such a thing. We value our reputation the most; no matter what happens in private, publicly, we must appear as loving husband and wife…”

“I heard that Mr. Horton deeply loved his first wife, and Miss Olsen has been mistreated by her first husband. This marriage is purely for mutual benefits, right? Even so, it still shouldn’t have come to this!”

“…I can’t fathom their absurd actions. It’s unbelievable!”

“Can I just say it? They have no shame!”

“…”

While the crowd was gossiping, Keira approached Lewis and raised an eyebrow. “Why don’t you come in?”

The group surrounding Lewis couldn’t stop his steps.

Besides, this was the Horton family’s place. Who would dare stop him?

Lewis simply stood there, his gaze passing over Victoria. ” I’m waiting for you to welcome me in.”

Keira wanted to laugh.

Victoria said, “Keera, don’t go too far. If you have no shame, the Olsen family still has a reputation to protect! If you dare to let him step through this door, the Horton family and our family will be at war!”

Hearing this, Keira walked up to Lewis and reached out her hand. “Then just step through this door. Let’s see if the Horton family dares to start something with me.”

Lewis smiled, took her hand, and said calmly, “They wouldn’t dare.”

Keira raised an eyebrow. “That’s more like it.”

Victoria was dumbfounded.

She blurted out, “What are you two playing at?”

James also rushed over, saying, “Keera, this really isn’t the right occasion. How about I take your heartthrob out for a drive first? I promise he won’t be harmed.”

Keira shook her head. “Don’t bother.”

James was near tears. “No, Keera, you don’t know what’s going on. I’ve heard that Lewis is very arrogant, and Uncle Olsen always shows him respect. Also, I heard his martial arts skills were taught by Uncle Olsen, and Uncle Olsen may not even be his match. I’m genuinely afraid that once Lewis arrives, he might beat up your gigolo…”

Keira didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Lewis was holding back a laugh as well.

But then, Victoria said, “What are you all laughing about? Do you think this is funny?”

All of a sudden, Charles chimed in. “I understand now!”

Instantly, James looked at him. “What do you mean?”

“Isn’t Keera here to call off the engagement?”

James was dumbfounded.

Victoria’s eyes lit up immediately. “Is that so? Well, that’s fine. Just explain the reasons to Mr. Horton, and maybe he will accept it. But the marriage alliance between the Horton family and the Olsen family shouldn’t be called off…”

This could be her chance!

While Victoria was pondering, a resonant voice rang out. “Who’s calling off the engagement?”

With this declaration, the crowd promptly parted to reveal Uncle Olsen alongside Nathan and Oliver.

As they walked, Oliver said, “Uncle Olsen, are you here to call off the engagement today? If that’s the case, it’s fine, really. If the kids each have someone they love, there’s no need to bind them together forcibly…”

Nathan nodded in agreement. “Right, there’s no need.”

Uncle Olsen laughed at this. “Our family is certainly not calling off the engagement.”

Nathan and Oliver’s faces immediately stiffened.

Nathan got outright angry. “Sam, if you’re not calling off the engagement, what’s all this? Did you bring your daughter and a gigolo to our door to provoke us? Don’t you think that’s going too far?”

Oliver also swiftly added, “Exactly, you’re humiliating Lewis, and the Horton family is not to be trifled with. Today, the Olsen family must give us an explanation! I understand the Olsen family is powerful, but regardless, reason must prevail, right? Everyone agrees, don’t they?”

The trio spoke and moved through the crowd, making their way to the front.

Victoria was the first to speak. “Uncle, since Keera and this gigolo are so in love, why not annul her and Mr. Horton’s engagement?”

Uncle Olsen stared at her before saying, “And then what? Do you want to represent the Olsen family to marry Lewis?”

Victoria nodded immediately, “I can do it. After all, the Olsen family has raised me for so many years… it’s only right that I do this for them…”

Uncle Olsen scoffed, “Why do you think you’re good enough?” Fị𝒏dd 𝒏ew upd𝒂t𝒆s on n(o)v/e/l𝒃in(.)com

Victoria’s face froze instantly.

She hadn’t felt so humiliated even when she was kicked out of the Olsen family, yet Uncle Olsen’s single remark left her feeling utterly disgraced.

Angry, she pointed at Keira. “Is she good enough, then? Mr. Horton, Oliver, look at her. She’s the legitimate daughter of the Olsen family, but she’s bringing a gigolo to your doorstep so openly. Can the Horton family really swallow such an insult?”

Upon hearing this, Oliver followed her finger and saw Lewis and Keira standing together like a perfect couple, and he was utterly flabbergasted.

Nathan was also taken aback, “A gigolo?”

“Yes, he’s the gigolo!”

No sooner had Victoria uttered these words than the so-called gigolo stepped forward.

Lewis’s face was dark with anger. “This farce has gone on long enough! This woman has been causing all the trouble. Throw her out!”

Victoria was still confused as she stared at Lewis. “What did you say? On what grounds are you throwing people out? Who do you think you can make a scene at the Horton’s?!”

But as soon as she said that, Tom promptly walked up to Lewis and bowed, “Yes, Mr. Lewis!”

Victoria was stunned.

She looked incredulously at Lewis, “You, you are…”

Lewis’s gaze swept over the crowd, rested on James and Charles, and finally came to Uncle Olsen. “Uncle Olsen, it’s an honor that you could take the time to come to my birthday party today.”

James was bewildered. “You, you, you’re Lewis Horton?!”
