My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

34 Nonsense

Isla’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at her

mother’s phone.

She wouldn’t mistake that voice!

The voice on the other end of the phone paused

slightly, then it turned colder still. “Isla, what are you doing with Mrs. Olsen’s phone?”

It was her!!

Isla felt as if she had seen a ghost.

No, it couldn’t be…

She glanced at her phone sharply, suddenly thinking of something. She asked, “Is this your phone number?”

Keira said, “What kind of question is that?”

That’s when it dawned on Isla!

mother’s favor, you even put her family name in your nickname. Are you worthy of being called that?”

Keira lowered her eyes.

felt at the time. She would never know now.

She said indifferently, “Did you call just to say this?”

“Of course not!” Isla tore off her mask of decency and said viciously, “I just want to tell you, even if you’ve charmed Mr. Horton through old Mrs. Horton, you’re nothing more than a mistress and a toy! Mr. Horton is a married man! I’m different though. I’ll marry Jake and become a legitimate daughter-in-law of the Horton
