How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire-Chapter 19 -
Chapter 19: Chapter 19
Keira Olsen stared dumbfounded at the marriage certificate in her hand.
She suddenly realized that the old lady had called her granddaughter-in-law the first time they met… she had known all along that they were married!
Keira felt she had grasped a clue.
She immediately asked, “Grandma, how did this marriage certificate end up with you?”
The old lady paused, her eyes becoming somewhat confused: “I… I don’t remember.”
Keira continued to ask, “Then how did Mr. Horton and I get married?”
...
The old lady kept shaking her head: “I don’t remember.”
Keira was a bit anxious, “Grandma, please think carefully…”
“Enough!”
Lewis Horton interjected sternly, his tall figure standing between her and the old lady, his eyes cold, “Miss Olsen, is this certificate real?”
“Of course.”
Lewis’s eyes darkened, “Then next, are you going to say there’s no need to go to the courthouse?”
So that was her aim!
First, she used the legitimate excuse of going to the courthouse as a pretext, then tempted the grandmother to produce this fake document, making him believe it was real.
If it wasn’t for the grandmother’s compliance towards her just now, he would have almost believed it!
Keira sensed a faint murderous intent in the man’s tone and felt it was absurd: “We don’t have to go today.”
Divorce was not just a matter of visiting the courthouse once.
In the two years they were legally married, there were many issues of property division involved, which required first signing a divorce agreement.
“We must.”
After Lewis said this, he scrutinized Keira closely.
Yet the girl simply blinked and indifferently said, “As you wish.”
Was she acting so well because she wouldn’t back down until she saw her defeat?

Or was the marriage certificate real?
Suddenly, Lewis felt uncertain, and he picked up the marriage certificate and headed out first: “I’ll wait for you in the parking lot.”
Keira smiled reassuringly at the old lady and followed him out.
The man walked briskly, and she almost had to jog to keep up.
As they reached the parking lot, they saw Poppy Hill, looking distressed, supporting Isla Olsen, who appeared pale, sneezed, and trembled.
Upon seeing her, Poppy’s eyes brightened: “Kiera!”
She hurried over, cautiously bypassing Lewis, and came up to her, declaring emphatically, “You must help your sister!”
Keira raised her eyebrows.
She didn’t understand why these two were here so early.
Had they not left since last night?
Before she could speak, Poppy rambled on:
“Kiera, you are an illegitimate daughter, but the Olsen family raised you without considering your background, and even if they didn’t look at their merits, but at their hardships, you should repay the Olsen family…
“Your sister was even better to you, not only letting you go to school with her, but she also shared her clothes with you.
“Also, when you were just born and too weak to survive, your mom had no milk, and it was your sister’s milk that you took to stay alive…
“Back then, the Olsen family had no intention of taking us in, but they did because you and your sister were born on the same day, Mrs. Olsen and your dad decided to keep us…
“So, you owe your sister, and you have to be good to her for life…”
These familiar words, Keira hadn’t heard them for a good ten years already.
Thinking back to her younger self who believed these absurd tales and slaved away for the Olsen family, enduring Isla’s endless bullying…now she just found it laughable!
The Olsen Family did raise her, but parents are legally obligated to care for their children. If they had neglected her, they would have committed the crime of abandonment!
Indeed, she attended school with Isla, but she had to carry Isla’s backpack to and from school, and act as her little follower on campus.
If Isla coughed even once, it was her fault for not taking good care, and Poppy Hill would beat her.
At school, she could only ever rank last because she couldn’t surpass Isla!
As for clothes… her parents never prepared any for her, she could only wear what Isla discarded, so her clothes were always a bit too short.
Mrs. Olsen did buy her a new skirt once, but as soon as she put it on, Poppy Hill took it off her and gave it to Isla, saying she didn’t deserve it. She couldn’t be prettier than Isla!
As for being physically weak…
Which infant wouldn’t be weak after being starved for four or five days?
…
The irony in Keira Olsen’s eyes grew more intense.
But Poppy Hill didn’t notice her change in demeanor. After finishing her speech, she immediately said, “Now that you’ve grown up, you finally have a chance to repay the Olsen family. Keira, old Mrs. Horton listens to you, doesn’t she? Go ask her to return the two percent of shares to your sister!”
Keira Olsen lowered her eyes and smiled, “You’re right.”
Poppy Hill’s face lit up, thinking she had persuaded her, but the next moment, she heard the girl lightly say:
“I’m just a despicable illegitimate daughter. How could Old Mrs. Horton possibly listen to me?”
Poppy Hill was stunned and wanted to say more, but Keira Olsen had already walked past her and got straight into Lewis Horton’s car: “Let’s go.”
Lewis Horton: “…”
He looked at the girl sitting in the back seat, wanting to say the driver hadn’t arrived yet.
Seeing Poppy Hill looked like she was about to chase after them…
Lewis Horton directly got into the driver’s seat, with a “click” he closed the door, leisurely fastened his seatbelt, then started the car and drove away!
The black stretch Bentley drove smoothly on the road.
Through the rearview mirror, Lewis Horton could see the girl gazing out of the window, her delicate and beautiful face bearing a serene expression.
He turned his gaze back to the road and continued driving.
The words he intended to warn her with, in the end, remained unsaid.
The car soon arrived at the courthouse.
As he parked, Tom Davis knocked on the driver’s window.
Lewis Horton rolled down the window, and Tom Davis’s voice came through: “Boss, the driver said you drove off by yourself. I got scared and chased you down using the GPS. What happened?”
“Nothing.”
Lewis Horton was as sparing with his words as ever.
Tom Davis then looked towards the courthouse: “Why are you here? Could it really be that Keira Olsen bothered you into confusion? Don’t worry, as I said, she won’t see you again, otherwise I would…”
“Live stream eating shit?”
Tom Davis hadn’t finished speaking when he heard a lazy female voice come through.
He stiffened, slowly looking back at the back seat, and saw Keira Olsen with a slightly mischievous look in her peach blossom eyes: “Which is your live channel?”
“…”
Tom Davis was flabbergasted!
The three entered the courthouse and approached the service window.
Tom Davis asked first, “Hello, I want to know if it’s possible to get a marriage certificate without the person being present?”
Staff member: “Definitely not.”
“Did you hear that?” Tom Davis said mockingly, looking at Keira Olsen. After glancing at the marriage certificate in her hand, he scoffed, “You even prepared a fake one? Haha, I’m calling the police right now! I’ll charge you with document forgery and harassment!”
But Lewis Horton handed over his marriage certificate, “Please check if this marriage certificate is genuine.”
