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 Keiras 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 hes dressed, could he be anything other than a construction worker? Even if hes not a laborer, at best, he could be a contractor, right?
These days, even contractors could make a lot of
money.
But in Erins mouth, it seemed like even this job was somewhat contemptible.
Lewiss 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, Im just an intern at my company, the young man
said with an awkward smile.
Someone whispered from the side, Whos that?
The young man said, Hes an expatriate who has returned to Crera to pursue the real estate business. I heard their familys enterprise has spread across the globe, and now hes expanding into the Crera market. Hes quite impressive!
Really? Whats someone like that doing here? Co 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 Groups real estate business had already completely transformed. He couldnt 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, Ive thoroughly investigated the construction site you just inspected,
and it meets all our investment standards. Heres 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, hi 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 hadnt let go, seemingly seeking strength from the gesture.
Now, with everyones attention shifting, Keira wasnt 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 couldnt pull her hand back.
She looked at Lewis in surprise and saw a possessive look and a hint of jealousy on his face. Was thatjealousy?
Following his gaze, Keira saw Scott.
Keira couldnt help but feel a mixture of amusement and dismay.
The appearance of Scott seemed to have triggered a sense of crisis in Lewis
She thought for a moment and decided not to move.
Right now, everyones attention was focused cot, who could feel the burning stares of the crow among those gazes was one filled with incomprehensible hostility.
After signing the paper, Scott looked up and saw L staring at him.
Scott gave him a warm smile, then turned to Keira.

Miss Keira, I forgot to introduce myself. Im Scott Martin.
He extended his hand toward Keira.
Keira didnt know what to say.
She could only shake hands with Scott Martin using her other hand, the one Lewis hadnt grasped, and then she quickly let go. Despite that, Lewiss expression still turned gloomy.
Scott seemed as if he hadnt noticed the tension and
once again looked at Erin. Im not a construction worker, just so you know. The reason Im dressed like this is that I was busy with an inspection just now, which seems to have led to all these
misunderstandings. I apologize for that.
Erin was shocked.
Her mouth hung open wide enough to fit an entire
egg.
She awkwardly looked at Scott, and then back to Keira finding herself at a loss for words.
Charless eyes immediately lit up. I knew it! How could someone like Dr. South marry a bricklayer?

Turns out hes quite the big shot!
One is Dr. South, the other is a real estate tycoon. Theyre a perfect match, arent they?
I just googled the Martin family. My God, theyre kind of impressive!
Isla and Jake frowned, looking toward Keira in
confusion.
How could it possibly be

How could she possibly have married such an influential figure?!
Jake felt it was impossible to take Keira away from
such a man to become his lover
He subconsciously glanced over at Lewis.
He noticed that his esteemed uncle also had a
darkened expression; inexplicably, he felt a twinge of
satisfaction.
Yes, for someone like Keira, even if Jake couldnt have her, it seemed his uncle might not stand a chance
either

While he was thinking this, Isla suddenly said, Keira, is this really your husband?
The question made Keira give her a somewhat mocking smile. Do you hope its true?
Isla was taken aback.
Keira didnt beat around the bush and flatly said, Hes
not my husband.
Scott also let out a sigh. Im not Miss Olsens husband. She helped me out with an umbrella in the rain yesterday, and I was returning the umbrella. And somehow Miss Isla added me on WhatsApp, then summoned me here, saying I could meet Miss Olsen, so I came
He explained very clearly.
Isla immediately felt relieved. I see, it was all a misunderstanding!
Keira looked at her reaction, finding it ludicrous.
When Scott Martin was thought to be a construction. worker, they denied knowing each other, but Isla didnt believe them and led the charge in attacking Keira.

But as soon as Scott Martin turned out to be a real
estate tycoon, with just a few words, Isla believed him.
Keira said casually, As long as you believe it, thats fine. It saves me from being tagged with another hat.
The remark laid bare Islas intention, leaving her feeling embarrassed. She laughed it off. My bad for the misunderstanding. But, Keira, who really is your husband? Why not bring him here for all of us to see Im sure everyone is curious. Just who is so fortunate and doesnt care about your status to have married someone as outstanding as you?
She stressed the word outstanding with a satirical
tone.
Professor Miller, upon hearing this, also looked at Keira. Keira, bring him along next time so I ca ave a look and see if hes right for you.
Keira smiled faintly, about to nod.
But unexpectedly, she heard the deep voice of the beside her, filled with a possessive assertiveness. Theres no need for next time. Hes already here.
