My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

727  Chapter 726

Before Keira could finish her sentence, Erin walked over, interrupting her. “Actually, what she’s trying to say is that I’m a pretty good person. Mary, mind treating me like a bestie too from now on?”

Mary blinked in confusion. “Huh?”

She glanced over at Keira, her expression puzzled.

Keira furrowed her brows and tightened her jaw.

Erin smiled slightly. “Alright, now that’s settled. Ellis is waiting for you… Mary, you better head over.”

Once again, Mary looked back at Keira.

Keira was about to say something when Mary suddenly leaned in close to her ear. “Keera, I don’t care who you are. I only know one thing—you’ll always be my best friend.”

Keira was momentarily stunned.

Mary smiled at her, then patted her on the shoulder. “I’ll see you later.”

Keira nodded.

Once Mary walked away, Keira let out a bitter smile.

Of course.

Mary and Keera had been childhood best friends. Keira had been impersonating her sister for so long. How could Mary not have noticed something was off?

Was she just fooling herself?

Or maybe Mary knew Keera had her secrets but understood that everything Keira was doing was for Keera’s sake? So, she pretended not to notice?

As Keira was lost in thought, Erin stepped closer and asked, “You’re not actually thinking of telling her the truth, are you?”

Keira frowned, turning to look at her.

Erin sighed. “Why are you so emotional? You can’t just do whatever comes to mind. What if Mary finds out you’re not Keera and starts keeping her distance? What if this affects the Davis family’s support? You need to think about the bigger picture. Don’t be so reckless.”

Keira didn’t respond.

After giving her a good talking-to, Erin sighed again. “I can’t believe Rabbit’s sister is such a sentimental fool.”

Keira stayed silent.

Erin shook her head and walked away. Not long after, Charles came up to her. “Erin, what have you been busy with these past few days?”

“Eating!” Erin’s voice took on a mischievous tone. “The food here is amazing. You should grab a couple of plates later.”

Keira sighed.

No matter the situation, nothing could ever change Erin’s obsession with food.

She chuckled bitterly, shaking her head.

Just then, Uncle Olsen came over and pointed toward the memorial hall. “What’s going on with the first branch?”

Oliver was tied up and had been kneeling in front of the memorial hall the entire time.

Everyone around was puzzled by the sight but dared not ask questions. After all, it was an unspoken truth: with the passing of old Mrs. Horton, the future of the Horton family was in Lewis’s hands now.

Keira lowered her head and spoke quietly, “He nearly strangled Grandma.”

Uncle Olsen frowned, glancing at her before turning his gaze to Lewis. After a pause, he said, “This was Lewis’s decision? Grandma was on her deathbed, and he still used the opportunity to suppress the first branch. That’s ruthless… but effective.”

Keira quickly corrected him. “It wasn’t his idea. Grandma arranged it.”

Uncle Olsen paused for a moment, then huffed. “In that case, he’s being too soft!”

Keira immediately objected, “No, that’s not true. There are some lines you just don’t cross. Grandma was his line—just like how you and Mom are mine.”

Her words sent a wave of warmth through Uncle Olsen. “I’m… I’m your line?”

Keira blinked at him, confused. “Of course. You’re my dad. You’re obviously my line.”

Suddenly, Uncle Olsen laughed. “Alright, but remember, your mom is your most important line. If you ever have to choose between me and your mom, you better choose her! Because she’s my line, too.”

Keira nodded firmly.

Even if Uncle Olsen hadn’t said that, Jodie was already the most important person in her heart. Nothing could ever change that!

The Olsen family stayed behind after the ceremony ended. After all, old Mrs. Horton had been Uncle Olsen’s elder, so they remained to help with the arrangements.

When the mourning period finally ended, the guests who had come to pay their respects started to leave.

Soon, only the Horton family and the Olsen family were left.

It wasn’t exactly appropriate for the Olsens to stay, but with Uncle Olsen’s stern presence, no one dared to suggest they leave.

Uncle Olsen’s very presence was enough to support Lewis.

He was worried Nathan would try something. Lewis was younger and could easily be overpowered.

Understanding Uncle Olsen’s intentions, Lewis calmly said, “Now that Grandma’s funeral is over, it’s time we discuss Oliver’s punishment.”

At this, Oliver immediately lifted his head, glaring at Lewis. “You know I was set up by Grandma. How could you—”

Before he could finish, Lewis kicked him squarely in the chest. His voice was icy. “Still denying it? The video clearly shows you grabbing her neck! I’ve already shown it to Uncle Julius.”

Nathan turned to Uncle Julius. “Uncle, I’m sure Oliver didn’t mean it. Please, can’t you go easy on him?”

Uncle Julius snorted. “Didn’t mean it? The video shows otherwise. I might not have heard the words, but I’m not blind. He grabbed her by the neck in a fit of rage and killed her!”

Having attended the funeral, Uncle Julius wasn’t in the best of moods. Especially after seeing the video, his anger boiled over.

He had already given Oliver a severe beating.

Nathan knew there was no point in arguing. With the video evidence, there was nothing to defend. He turned to Uncle Julius, his voice desperate. “Uncle, how are you going to punish him?”

Uncle Julius sighed. “Oliver betrayed the family and killed his grandmother. According to Horton family rules, he is to relinquish all his shares in the Horton Group and be banished from the family.”

The moment those words left Uncle Julius’s mouth, Nathan slumped back into his chair, defeated.

Oliver’s face twisted in rage. “Ha! So that old witch planned all of this! She just wanted to clear the path for her precious grandson! Hahaha!”

Then he turned to Lewis. “You think this is enough to take me down? Even if I’m kicked out of the Horton family, I’ve got other means! I’ll make a comeback. Just you wait!”

Lewis stared at him coldly. “What resources do you have left?”

Oliver grinned. “I’ve got Marisa and Selena. Over the years, I’ve given them plenty of money. Even if I leave the family, I can count on them!”

Lewis’s expression didn’t change.

He spoke calmly. “You haven’t noticed they haven’t shown up at the funeral?”
