My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

283 Unfortunate Coincidence

Keira's eyes dropped, her gaze a shield against the chill.

Indeed, she had to play the part of not wanting a divorce and being utterly compliant with Howard and Howard's mother, but that didn't mean she would let herself be so maltreated!

Cindy entering the family as boldly as she did was utterly shameless.

She looked directly at Howard. "The contract Mary gave you today, it hasn't been stamped by her company yet, has it?"

These words made Howard stand up abruptly. "Keera, what are you implying? Are you threatening me?"

Keira still kept her gaze lowered. "No, it's just that Mary has always had clear principles, and she's been finding you disagreeable for quite some time. If she learns that you brought Cindy to the house, I fear it could cause a lot of trouble. Howard, you've been keeping a mistress out there, and I've endured it, but don't push me too far..."

Howard had indeed brought Cindy home to test Keera's boundaries.

In the past, when Keera knew about his mistress, she had only made a scene and cried once. She didn't even dare to mention divorce afterward.

So, he decided to bring Cindy home to see if Keera would react as she used to. If so, he could outright bring Cindy into their home...

But he never expected Keera to actually use Mary to threaten him!

Howard wanted to say something but then thought of the major deal with Mary and sneered coldly at Keira before turning to Cindy. "Cindy, her fish isn't tasty. Let me take you out to dinner!"

Cindy's complexion immediately changed. "The food won't be as clean. Pregnant women should have homemade meals."

Howard's mother immediately looked at Keira. "Keera, stop throwing a tantrum here. If you continue to be unreasonable, I'll have Howard divorce you! And then you will never see Amy again!".

Vairo still kant her hood down seemingly fragile and

putting on an aggrieved appearance. "Mom, Howard, this house was left to me by my parents, so no concubine shall set foot here. This is my final line!"

Howard's mother suddenly shouted. "And what about the future, when she's carrying the Smith family's

child?"

Keira looked at them with a pitiable gaze. "The child may enter this house, but not this woman."

Cindy snapped. "You..."

Howard immediately coughed. "Alright, Cindy, let's go!"

Cindy wanted to say more, but Howard gave her a sharp glance.

Cindy cast a resentful look at Keira but then saw this delicate woman promptly shooting her a provoking glance in return.

In an instant, Cindy understood. Keera was declaring

war!

Ha.

Did she really think she could win?

It was just because she had snagged a deal with Mary

that Howard was being compliant. Once the contract was signed and the partnership fully established, she would see who really could be arrogant!

Cindy left reluctantly with Howard.

After they left, Howard's mother scoffed. "Are you satisfied now? Now get on with the cooking!"

"...Okay."

Keira looked utterly docile.

In the days that followed, she tried her best to play the part of a dutiful wife and daughter-in-law, cooking exquisite and tasty meals that fattened up Amy and

Howard's mother.

When at home, Keira didn't talk much but was very

diligent.

Sometimes she would even deliberately seek to please

Howard's mother.

She overheard Howard's mother talking to Howard on the phone several times.

"Keera is taking such good care of me! Now I just do aerobics every day and nothing else. She's much more sensible than before and even frequently tries to

butter me up. I'm

thinking. After you divorce her, we could keep her around as a housemaid without having to pay her a salary. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Keira just smirked.

It's easy to transition from frugality to luxury, but hard to return to frugality from

luxury.

In modern society, how could a normal daughter-in-law possibly take care of her

mother-in-law like this?

The more she did now, the more she would satisfy Howard's mother, and the

more comparisons there

would be once she divorced and Howard's mother

lived with Cindy.

She could almost see the mess they would be in after living together...

A month passed by quickly.

In two days, the contract would expire.

Howard seemed utterly oblivious. His company was unable to deliver the technology, while he and Cindy lived blissfully in their little home outside.

"My lawyer is all ready. As soon as the day after

tomorrow comes, we'll sue him!"

Mary said excitedly to Keira, then looked at her earnestly. "Keera, I'm asking you one last time. After a month of the cooling-off period, are you sure? Do you want

to divorce him?"

Keira nodded. "I'm sure."

"Good! I was really afraid you would go soft, using these tactics only to make him

have a change of heart."

Keira changed the subject. "By the way, why did you ask me to meet you here

today?"

It was a private restaurant that was very quiet, and the decor made it clear that it wouldn't be cheap.

Mary immediately raised an eyebrow. "Oh, I'm meetin a blind date here today, so

I called you over to help me

check him out."

Keira was perplexed.

She was a little stunned. "A blind date?"

Mary sighed, "Yeah, it's a marriage alliance for business reasons! My family's situation is quite complicated... My parents say this marriage is important, and the other party is of high status. He

After saying this, she gave a self-deprecating laugh, then took out a makeup mirror from her bag to

Keira saw a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

She pursed her lips and said, "Yes, that man will

definitely be impressed with you!"

People from every social class have their own troubles.

Wealthy families were no exception.

Mary nodded. "I think so too. Among the female celebrities of Clance, my beauty

ranks in the top five.

She sighed silently. "Keera, if only you had a brother, I'd just marry him and

become your sister-in-law!"

Keira asked, Who's your blind date?"

Mary sighed helplessly. "He's from one of Clance's five major families and is the

young master of the Olsen family, Ellis Olsen."

Keira was dumbfounded.

Just as Mary finished speaking, the door suddenly opened, and Ellis walked in.
