My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire !

Chapter 141: Clear Up

As soon as these words were said, the room fell silent.

Isla and Jake both looked over at Lewis. The whole point of calling him over was to see Keira's husband and put them on the spot.

But now, was Lewis actually going to stand up for Keira?

Isla was momentarily at a loss for words.

Erin, on the other hand, had nothing to lose and blurted out, "Mr. Horton knows her husband? With the way he's dressed, could he be anything other than a construction worker? Even if he's not a laborer, at best, he could be a contractor, right?"

These days, even contractors could make a lot of money.

But in Erin's mouth, it seemed like even this job was somewhat contemptible.

Lewis's gaze darkened, and just as he was about to speak, someone knocked on the door, and a man in a suit walked in. "Sorry to intrude."

Seeing him, someone in the crowd immediately exclaimed, "Mr. Hill?"

The man in the suit, Mr. Hill, was slightly taken aback. "You know me?"

"Well, yes. Our company has recently been working with yours, trying to provide you with a constant temperature energy system. You might not remember me, I'm just an intern at my company," the young man said with an awkward smile.

Someone whispered from the side, "Who's that?"

The young man said, "He's an expatriate who has returned to Crera to pursue the real estate business. I heard their family's enterprise has spread across the globe, and now he's expanding into the Crera market. He's quite impressive!"

"Really? What's someone like that doing here? Could he be looking for Mr. Horton?"

In the room, only the Horton family had the status to discuss matters with such a family.

However, Lewis frowned.

The real estate market in Crera was currently in decline, and Horton Group's real estate business had already completely transformed. He couldn't remember having any cooperation with the Martin family.

As he was pondering, Mr. Hill bowed respectfully to Scott Martin and took out a contract from the document bag he was carrying. "Boss, I've thoroughly investigated the construction site you just inspected, and it meets all our investment standards. Here's the contract; it was quite urgent, so I brought it over. Please sign it."

After that, he also nodded apologetically to the people around the table.

The crowd was dumbfounded.

Lewis frowned and looked toward Scott Martin, his gaze turning abruptly cold.

Under the table, Keira had just been holding his hand to prevent him from speaking, and even when she brought up her own background, she hadn't let go, seemingly seeking strength from the gesture.

Now, with everyone's attention shifting, Keira wasn't being scrutinized as closely anymore, so she relaxed and attempted to withdraw her hand.

But the next moment, the large hand she had been holding took control and grasped hers!

Keira tugged hard but couldn't pull her hand back.

She looked at Lewis in surprise and saw a possessive look and a hint of jealousy on his face. Was that...jealousy?

Following his gaze, Keira saw Scott.

Keira couldn't help but feel a mixture of amusement and dismay.

The appearance of Scott seemed to have triggered a sense of crisis in Lewis...
