My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！ - Chapter 654

Brian was dumbfounded.

The Sect Leader immediately sighed, “Why did you have to act so high and mighty in the Special Division, huh?”

Keira said, “Old Mr. Sims did the wrong thing, but he’s now eighty years old. In Crera, we respect the elderly and care for the young. Can we punish such an elderly man? If word gets out, what would become of the Special Division? I’m thinking about the reputation of the Special Division.”

Upon hearing this, the Sect Leader said, “You do have a point there!”

Then he looked at Brian. “Mr. Dawson, what do you think… should we still impose a penalty?”

Keira played dumb. “I don’t accept the punishment. If you really want to punish me, then revoke my martial arts and expel me from the Freeman Sect!”

Brian was shocked.

Keira’s arrogance in the Special Division indeed embarrassed all the members. Brian had sought his superiors to salvage some dignity for himself.

The punishment of two hours in the horse stance was already quite lenient, but Keira actually rejected even that.

Who would dare to nullify the martial arts of the senior sister?

She was their strongest combatant now!

The Sect Leader then looked toward Brian, “Mr. Dawson, what do you think?”

Brian took a deep breath, “There must be some misunderstanding about today’s incident. Let’s leave it at that! There’s no need for punishment!!”

After saying that, he glared at Keira and turned to leave.

The Sect Leader said, “Mr. Dawson, are you leaving just like that? Won’t you stay for a meal? I’ll have the senior sister toast to you to apologize!”

Keira said, “Master, do you want me to apologize to him? Then you’d better kick me out of the sect!”

Brian didn’t know what to say.

He immediately quickened his pace!

The senior sister absolutely couldn’t be expelled! If that happened, whom would the Special Division rely on when in need?

Only after seeing Brian and the other man leave did Keira raise an eyebrow and turn to the Sect Leader. “Your acting was a bit over the top there!”

The Sect Leader waved his hand dismissively. “Hey, we’re not aiming for any awards.”

With that, he yawned.

Keira looked at him. “Master, your dark circles are pretty severe!”

The Sect Leader immediately looked at her. “It’s because I thought you had died, so I cried uncontrollably and damaged my eyes! Now I get dark circles so easily!”

Keira said, “You got them from playing video games late into the night yesterday, didn’t you?”

“Eh, how did you know?”

“…”

As Keira and the Sect Leader chatted, Lewis watched them from a distance, quietly observing.

He suddenly realized why Keira had returned with such confidence. It was because of this.

A teacher for a day, a father for life.

Keira had chosen her master well.

Lewis lowered his eyes, and a smile spread across his lips.

A warm atmosphere enveloped the courtyard as everyone watched Keira and the Sect Leader banter, with the Sect Leader eventually trying to kick her and Keira dodging skillfully, bringing the scene to a close.

Lewis walked beside Keira, watching her smile lightly, and suddenly said, “Keira, you seem different in front of the Sect Leader.”

Keira was taken aback, “Different in what way?”

Lewis smiled. “In front of him, you’re more relaxed, like a child with your emotions clearly on display.”

Keira paused.

It was then she realized that, indeed, she had always been most at ease in front of her master.

Their meeting was filled with fun, and as they got to know each other better, her master gave her a hundred dollars a day, taught her martial arts, and over time, she realized he meant well. So, she gradually relaxed around him.

A softness flickered in Keira’s eyes. “To me, my master is indeed like a father.”

Lewis nodded and suddenly said, “I hope that one day, you can be just as relaxed around me.”

Keira was startled at these words. Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on n/o/v𝒆/l/bin(.)c/𝒐/m

She suddenly turned to look at Lewis and saw the expectation and affection in his eyes.

Keira knew herself well. She was cold on the outside and just as cold within.

She had very few true friends, and despite having spent so much time with Lewis, she still couldn’t relax around him like she could around her master.

But Lewis had already been working hard to give her a sense of security.

Keira said, “Sorry, I’ve been distant from people since childhood, and I’m still not used to…”

“No worries. I’ll wait for you to get comfortable. You met your master when you were fourteen, and it’s been eight or nine years now. I can wait another eight or nine years, trusting that one day, you’ll feel just as relaxed with me.”

A warmth filled Keira’s heart, and she nodded.

Just as they were about to talk more, James suddenly ran in, “Keera, there’s trouble!”

Keira was surprised, “What’s the matter?”

James immediately handed her his phone. “Look at this explosive news!”

Keira looked and saw that someone had anonymously posted on the internet about her backing old Mr. Sims in the Special Division.

The poster didn’t name the Special Division, only saying that old Mr. Sims was a spy and that “Keera” was irrationally defending him…

Now the whole internet was cursing “Keera”!

Keira’s jaw tensed.

James then said, “The post refers to the daughter of the Olsen Group, and old Mr. Sims’s name is replaced with a pseudonym, so we didn’t catch it at first. By the time we noticed, the post had already gained traction! Although we are deleting posts, public opinion is out of control now!”
