My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

The First Step of Divorce

Mary immediately frowned and looked at her.

Keira pursed her lips, trying to make her gaze seem softer.

Mary examined her face back and forth, then suddenly stood up, walked over to her, and touched her forehead.

Keira was dumbfounded.

“You don’t have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense? You refused to tell me who they were back then, saying it would compromise my safety. Why are you asking me now?”

For the first time, Keira sensed Keera’s caution. At least regarding this matter, she was very careful.

Keira just said, “Right,” her expression unchanged. “I was worried you might have discovered some clue, but it seems you still know nothing. That’s good.”

Sure enough, Mary was led astray. “Keera, you really are too cautious. Didn’t you say? Since you couldn’t even complete their first task, they wouldn’t come looking for you again.”

That remark made Keira momentarily stunned. “The first task?”

“Yes, you said the first task involved someone very important to you, so you refused…”

Someone very important…

Keira frowned. “The very important person to me… who is it?”

Mary immediately rolled her eyes. “Who else could it be? Howard! You two were already together then.”

She then spoke with a strong hint of jealousy. “Anyway, it’s not me.”

After saying that, she couldn’t help but complain. “I considered you my best friend; we’ve been to the same school since kindergarten and have stayed friends all these years, but to you, I’m less significant than Amy, let alone your mother-in-law and Howard. For them, you actually abandoned me… Forget it, let’s not talk about it. It makes me feel so sad!”

She was genuinely aggrieved! Mary pouted.

Keira wasn’t good at comforting others, so she remained silent. Just then, the sound of the door opening was heard, and Howard’s mother walked in.

Humming a tune from a dance, she didn’t look toward the living room as she entered but headed straight for the kitchen. “Keera, what’s for dinner? I’m hungry after exercising!”

By the time she finished, she was already in the kitchen, only to find it completely empty, without a trace of cooking.

Howard’s mother was startled, then stormed out shouting, “Keera, what have you been doing at home all afternoon? What time is it now, and you still haven’t started cooking? You…”

Speaking, she saw Mary and immediately stopped, then scoffed, “Oh, isn’t this Mary? Haven’t seen you here in over half a year, huh? What, you’ve come to your senses and decided to bring a partnership proposal for Howard?”

Mary responded with a facade of a smile. “Auntie, haven’t seen you in half a year, somehow you look even more spiteful?”

Howard’s mother’s expression faltered, and she said indignantly, “You’re so rude!”

Mary spread her hands. “Just telling the truth!”

“You!”

Howard’s mother clutched her chest in anger and pointed at Keira, saying furiously, “Keera, you’re just going to stand there watching your friend insult me? Let me tell you, her being rude to me is the same as being disrespectful to you! She obviously doesn’t take you seriously, otherwise, wouldn’t she know such behavior would put you in an awkward position?

“Keera, you have to kick her out right now! And you’re not to see her again. If you don’t, I swear I’ll tell Howard you allowed your friend to come over and bully me!”

Mary’s chin tensed up when she heard this. She looked at Keira.

Half a year ago, it was just like this.

Howard and his mother’s words made Keera block her outright. Later, when she ran into Howard, he shamelessly proposed that if her family’s company partnered on a project with him, Howard would have Keera add her back.

Mary was furious at the time.

She felt that Howard was treating her best friend and their friendship like commodities being negotiated for a price!

She felt anxious for Keera’s sake, frustrated that she had somehow set her sights on such a loser.

But Mary was also afraid… afraid that Keera would be swayed once again by Howard’s mother’s words…

Mary didn’t dare speak up, and Howard’s mother started to get arrogant. “Why the silence? Cat got your tongue? Weren’t you quite articulate just now?”

Mary took a deep breath.

Though Keera had just said she wanted a divorce, she hadn’t made up her mind yet. No matter how anxious Mary was, she knew this was Keera’s life, and she couldn’t make decisions for her.

Not wanting to make things difficult for her, Mary stood up. “Keera, I’m leaving now. Contact me if you need anything.”

After saying this, she got up and walked out.

Keira followed her to the door. “Okay, let me see you out.”

These words made Mary pause slightly, and a sense of emptiness suddenly filled her heart.

Keera really hadn’t made up her mind yet.

She tightened her jaw and reached the door, then turned back to Keira. “Keera, everything can be fought for again, but freedom is your own. Don’t forget what you said just now.”

Keira nodded lightly, her voice calm. “Don’t worry, I have a plan.”

How could Mary not be anxious?

She wanted to speak up, but having caused a scene once before, she feared pressuring Keera too much and being blocked again, limiting herself to unsaid words as she left.

After Mary left, Keira turned back around.

Howard’s mother sneered. “What are you staring at? Go make dinner already! You’re so wooden and clumsy. How can you compare to Cindy? No wonder Howard never comes home!”

Keira’s gaze grew colder. Her lips curled into a faint smile. “Alright, I’ll go make dinner now.”

Taking back everything that Keera should have owned was as easy as turning her hand. She already had a plan in her heart.

Amy needed to eat too, so since that was the case…

Keira entered the kitchen.

She quickly prepared three dishes and a soup, set the table, then went upstairs to bring Amy down.

The three of them sat down together at the dining table.

Keira served Amy her meal, and after Howard’s mother took a bite with disdain, her eyes suddenly lit up.

“Keera, the food you made today is actually quite delicious.”

Keira responded faintly, “Well, I searched for a tutorial online.”

She lowered her gaze.

Pleasing Howard’s mother’s palate was the first step of her revenge plan!

She had many quick and decisive ways to make Howard leave with nothing.

But she didn’t want to expose her identity, so she intended to use her previous persona as little as possible to avoid arousing “their” suspicions. Moreover, having suffered so much for so many years, Keera was determined to seek revenge.

It wasn’t only about getting divorced but also making the scumbag, his mistress, and this wicked mother-in-law suffer after the divorce!!

That night, Mary lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.

She thought of how she left today and wanted to turn back to say a few words to Keera, but seeing through the glass window that Keera obediently entered the kitchen to make dinner for Howard’s mother, she felt suffocated.

Was Keera seriously considering divorce?

Keera loved Howard so much that just a thread of his threats caused her to block Mary.

Howard, for the sake of the money in the company and that house, would never bring up divorce voluntarily. And as soon as he uttered sweet words, wouldn’t Keera just soften again?

Mary took a deep breath and turned over in bed.

After a moment, she abruptly sat up, “This can’t be. Is Keera out of her mind? After everything, she’s still cooking for that wicked mother-in-law?! It must all be lies. She said she would get a divorce just to deceive me! Liar! I’m going to block you so that when the time comes, you won’t abandon me and block me again!”

As she thought this, her eyes reddened.

She immediately grabbed her phone, fuming and about to block Keera, whom she had just re-added, when suddenly a message appeared in the chatbox…
