My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire?

565  Chapter 564

Was that a new rival?

Was there someone else to compete with her over Miss Keira's friendship?

Rebecca stepped forward as if facing a formidable enemy, directly taking Keira's left arm. "Miss Olsen, I've missed you so much after not seeing you for several days!"

The next moment, Erin cut in, elbowing her way between Rebecca and Keira. "You are Miss Allen, right? I am Erin. Where is your invitation? You need to have it checked here. Keera, I told you that you don't need to wait for an invitation. I can take you inside! Let's go this way."

She tugged at Keira, intending to enter the banquet hall.

Rebecca immediately became jealous. "Miss Olsen, wait for me!"

After saying this, she swiftly pulled out the invitation from her handbag and handed it to the butler, then rushed forward to take Keira's right arm.

"Miss Olsen, who is this? Someone you recently met?"

Rebecca tried to affirm her authority.

Erin just laughed. "Some people know each other for ten years and are just fair-weather friends, while others meet for two days and feel as though they've known each other forever. Keera and I are the latter!"

She held onto Keira's arm.

Rebecca instantly became like a cat with its fur standing on end. "Miss Olsen and I are friends who have been through life and death. She has saved my life, not just once but twice. Is your friendship with her as solid as ours?"

Erin said, "Oh, she saved you, did she? I'd have thought it was the other way around."

Rebecca was shocked.

Feeling a headache coming on, Keira looked at the two of them.

Rebecca was already twenty-four, while Erin was also over twenty. Why did they act like children who had never grown up?

She couldn't help but glance at Lewis, who was following behind, holding Amy. His face had darkened. He looked at Erin and Rebecca as if he could kill.

...And there was it, another jealous type.

Keira rubbed her forehead, wondering if something was wrong.

She coughed lightly. "Well, I'm going to give Amy something to eat. She's hungry."

Having said that, she broke free from the tug of war between the two women and took the little girl from Lewis, retreating to the side. She got a small cake for Amy, and they quietly found a corner to sit in.

The world finally became peaceful.

Keira let out a long sigh of relief.

Then she couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

When she had no friends before, she felt lonely. In Oceanion, she seemed not to be fond of making friends either. Now that she had many friends, it turned out to be quite troubling.

But it was a sweet trouble.

She held Amy, only to see Erin and Rebecca craning their necks in the distance, seemingly waiting for the moment she finished feeding Amy so they could rush over to her.

Realizing their intention, Keira quickly got another piece of cake for Amy.

Amy, who usually was controlled not to eat sweets, faced a sudden windfall of happiness.

Her eyes instantly lit up, and she began to eat in small bites.

She was adorable. Watching her eat, Keira couldn't help but smile.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out. "Is this Amy?"

Keira looked up and saw Vera, who had approached them and was standing behind Amy, staring at her.

Keira immediately narrowed her eyes and held Amy close. She was on guard.

Amy glanced at her, confused, then resumed eating her food quietly.

Keira said, "Who she is has nothing to do with you!"

Vera, however, crossed her arms and laughed. "She's your daughter, so she has everything to do with me. Besides, do you think you can protect Amy?"

She bent down slightly and chuckled. "After I get engaged to Scott today, I'll consummate our marriage tonight. It's my ovulation period, and in a month, I'll be pregnant with his child. Then, you'll lose this battle for good. Keera, if you lose, Amy will be mine..."

These words made Keira's pupils contract; she frowned and laughed coldly. "The wedding isn't set yet, and you're already thinking about the future. Vera, are you so sure today's engagement party will go smoothly?"

Vera sneered. "Why wouldn't it go smoothly? All the factors that could impede us have been cleared away. You gave up the Martin family for Lewis Horton, and old Mr. Martin made it very clear that no matter how much money you offer, he won't care. No matter what cooperation you propose, he won't want it. He only wants a marriage alliance. Keera, do you know why?"

Keira didn't speak.

Vera bent down slightly. "Because only a marriage alliance can be the most reliable connection, and only blood relations are inseparable! I just need a child to tie myself to the Martin family, which is a very lucrative deal."

She patted Keira's shoulder. "When I first came to Crera, I saw Scott had affection for you. I thought I had no chance. But who could have thought that you would give up this opportunity for a man? I should thank you for giving in!"

She finished these words with a smile, squinted, and then looked at Amy. "She's so adorable..."

Leaving these words behind, she turned and left.

Keira watched her from behind, her eyes flashing with a fierce determination.

Why was Vera so adamant about having Amy?

Was there something special about Amy?

She couldn't understand what use a three-year-old child could be!

Or was it possible that Amy's father wasn't Howard?

Keira was lost in wild thoughts when she saw Vera, who had walked away, suddenly wave to a security guard. The guard approached, and whatever Vera whispered, he looked over and then walked toward Keira.

The security guard came directly to Keira. "Miss Olsen, I'm sorry, but Miss Vera said that you're not welcome at tonight's engagement party. She asked you to leave."

Keira frowned.

The security guard then said in a low voice, "She also told me to pass on a message. She believes you wouldn't want the Olsen family and the Martin family to become enemies, so please don't make a scene. It's better for everyone if you just leave quietly with the child."

Keira took a deep breath and pressed her lips tightly together.

She was a guest, and Vera, as the leading lady of the night, certainly had the right to ask her to leave. Vera must have feared that "Keera" might cause some incident if she stayed, so she made this move.

Keira scoffed. She looked around and then took out her phone to message Scott. "I'm at the party. Where are you?"

Scott soon replied quickly. "Coming downstairs in a moment."

As the message was sent, Keira saw Scott slowly descend the stairs from the second floor.

Keira stood up and said to the security guard, "I'll go and offer my congratulations to the host before I leave."

The security guard didn't object.

Holding Amy, Keira approached Scott. Not wanting to trouble him with Vera's matters, she simply said, "Show me the photo of your grandfather's first love."
