My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

Chapter 231: Truth

our marriage certificate with Lewis?”

Old Mrs. Horton held Keira’s hand and laughed. “How could that be! Do you really think the rich can do anything? For such a matter, both parties must be present!”

Keira became even more puzzled upon hearing this, but she didn’t ask any further and just listened to old Mrs. Horton.

Over the past few years, old Mrs. Horton felt she had never been as lucid as she was today, and she said, “It was about two years ago, I don’t remember the exact date, but at that time Lewis was home for a week during his holiday from studying abroad.

“I remember waking up at noon that day, feeling a bit groggy. I wanted to find him, and somehow I ended up walking out the door, getting farther and farther from home, and eventually falling on the street. My leg was uncomfortable, and I hurt my arm too. I tried to stand up but had no strength at all and was struggling on the ground for a long time. I even asked several people for help, but alas! No one helped. I understand, though, that everyone’s afraid of being targeted by the elderly trying to deliberately provoke others. It was then, my dear granddaughter-in-law, that you appeared! Do you remember?”

Keira suddenly remembered that there had indeed been such an incident.

She usually had a good memory, and especially since several people had advised her not to help the old lady when she went to offer aid.

But Keira didn’t listen to them.

She simply asked someone to take out a phone and record a video as proof, and then she went forward and helped the old lady up.

After the old lady finally got up, Keira realized the old lady had injured her leg,

so she carried her to a nearby hospital to get treatment.

Then came the dramatic moment.

At the hospital, after the nurse had finished treating the old lady, she was about to say goodbye, but unexpectedly, the old lady grabbed hold of her, telling her not to leave.

At the time, Keira really thought she’d encountered someone trying to provoke trouble and frowned, but then the old lady looked at her with bright eyes.

“Good child, are you married?”

Keira shook her head.

The old lady smiled. “I have a good-for-nothing grandson at home. Would you like to make do with him?”

Keira was dumbfounded.

“Good child, this must be destiny! You’re meant to be my granddaughter-in-law. Shall I introduce my grandson to you? He’s quite handsome!”

Old Mrs. Horton took out her phone and showed her a photo.

Keira had a quick look at the photo at that time and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Ma’am, I don’t want to get married yet!”

Old Mrs. Horton looked sorry to hear that. “Is that so… Well, if you ever want to get married and don’t have a suitable partner, come find me! My grandson says he never plans to marry in this lifetime, which is really worrying.

After saying this, old Mrs. Horton handed her a business card.

Keira didn’t say anything. She had met many capable elderly people over the years, and she had learned a lot from them.

She was well aware that the older they get, the more peculiar their personalities become.

However, once she left the hospital, she immediately placed the business card on a nearby trash bin and left.

It was just an ordinary day in her life, so the memory gradually faded away. Today, when old Mrs. Horton suddenly mentioned it, she remembered that day and began to associate old Mrs. Horton with the lady in her memory. Keira was surprised. “So it turns out that the old lady back then was you!” “Right, that’s why I said, my granddaughter-in-law, we are fated!” Old Mrs. Horton chuckled and continued.

“Then, I thought you really didn’t want to get married and felt regretful for several days. But on the fourth day, you called me, saying you wanted to get married after all, so I tricked the brat over, and you two went to the courthouse to get your marriage certificate!”

Old Mrs. Horton said this, then gave her a reproachful glance. “After getting married that day, you took me and the brat home and said you’d go back to pack your luggage and move in, leaving the marriage certificate with me for safekeeping. But I never expected that you wouldn’t return… My granddaughter-in-law, why didn’t you come back? Did you have second thoughts?”

Keira’s eyes widened in astonishment as she listened.

She clearly remembered throwing away the business card, so how could she possibly turn back to find old Mrs. Horton?

She looked at old Mrs. Horton. “Are you sure that the person who went to see you later was really me?”

“It was you!”

Old Mrs. Horton nodded affirmatively, “The procedures for your marriage registration were all official; the photos were taken on the spot. Isn’t that you on the marriage certificate?”

Keira tightened her jaw.

She suddenly turned to Lewis, only to see him frowning slightly, yet seemingly not surprised.

Keira asked, “Mr. Horton, according to what old Mrs. Horton said, you personally obtained the certificate. How could you not remember it afterward?” Lewis just chuckled bitterly and helplessly stroked his forehead.

Before he could speak, old Mrs. Horton interjected. “Granddaughter-in-law, this brat has a problem: he can’t drink alcohol. Just one drink and he gets drunk, and when he’s drunk, he’s not like other people. He acts as if he hasn’t had a drink at all; nobody can tell, but he becomes exceptionally compliant. He’ll do whatever I tell him to do!”

Old Mrs. Horton bragged with pride. “So initially, I tricked him into having a sip of alcohol, took advantage of his dazed state, and made him go get the certificate with you!”

Keira was speechless.

From the time she met Lewis until now, she indeed had never seen him drink. She looked at Lewis again, only to see the man let out a slight sigh. “After Grandma showed the marriage certificate, I had my suspicions. My guess was right.”

Lewis looked toward old Mrs. Horton. “Grandma, you really made a fuss. Luckily it was Keira. If it had been someone else…”

The consequences would be unimaginable!

Keira’s cheeks turned slightly red. What did he mean by “luckily it was her”?

Old Mrs. Horton snorted. “I was dressed in rags at the time, and so many people didn’t help me up, only my granddaughter-in-law did. This shows that she has a good heart. Do you think I would pick just anyone to be your wife?” Old Mrs. Horton teased him. “Brat, are you satisfied or not?”

Lewis didn’t speak but looked toward the girl with a tender and affectionate gaze.

Yet Keira appeared solemn as if facing a great enemy.

He thought of Keira’s recent conversation with old Mrs. Horton and frowned slightly, his voice deep as he asked, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

“Of course, there’s a problem.”

Keira’s expression was serious as she looked at him. “Because after I helped old Mrs. Horton, I never went to see her again! The person who registered the marriage with you wasn’t me at all!”

Lewis’s pupils constricted.

Old Mrs. Horton was also taken aback, then vehemently denied, “That’s impossible! Granddaughter-in-law, how could I mistake someone else for you?”

At this point, as if to prove something, she took out her phone. “That’s right. After you agreed to get married, while we were waiting for the brat to come over, you told me a lot about yourself. You said your mother is Mrs. Olsen, and even showed me a photo of you two together…

She pulled out the photoshopped picture again.

Previously, when old Mrs. Horton insisted that Mrs. Olsen was her mother, Keira thought someone was playing a prank, fooling old Mrs. Horton, but now she had recognized Mrs. Olsen as her birth mother…

This meant that the impostor, pretending to be her years ago, already knew she was Mrs. Olsen’s biological daughter!

At that moment, Keira felt a chill down her spine.

Everything that had happened was too fantastical, making her feel as if she were in a dream!

But old Mrs. Horton seemed to have realized something.. “I know what happened!”
