142 Husband and Wife
Lewiss words once again quieted the private room.
Everyone looked at him in shock.
Even Professor Miller was confused. Hes here?
Where?
Lewis straightened his back and watched as Professor Miller bypassed him, starting with Scott Martin. He examined each of the men sitting in their seats, but after a full circle, he found no one.
Professor Miller asked, Keira, who on earth is it?
Lewis was speechless.
Seeing the change in the mans expression, Keira couldnt help but snicker internally.
From the first time she saw Lewis, he had always been serious. This was the first time Keira had seen so many
emotions on his face.
She smiled but said nothing.
Isla frowned. Keira, did you marry one of our classmates? Who exactly is it? Stop keeping us in

suspense!
At that, Lewis spoke up, Her husband is me!
Suddenly, there was silence in the room, and everyones gaze abruptly shifted to the two of them.
Isla wanted to say something, but after opening her mouth and then meeting Lewiss cold face, she
swallowed her words.
Lewis raised Keiras hand, which he had been holding tightly under the table, showed it to everyone, and then specifically gave Scott a wary look. Mr. Martin, Im glad my wife could help you. If theres anything in the future, you can contact me.
Scott was speechless.
Lewis then looked around at everyone and signaled to Tom, who immediately smiled and said, Mr. Horton and Miss Olsen have arranged a few bottles of fine wine to celebrate Professor Millers birthday. Theyll be served shortly. Enjoy your meal and drink, and this
meal will be on Mr. Hortons account.
The classmates were very appreciative, immediately

raising their glasses. Thank you, Mr. Horton. Thank you, Dr. South!
At that moment, the atmosphere of the entire birthday banquet seemed to reach its climax.
Lewis had intended to dine with everyone, but his cell phone suddenly rang.
After he answered, whoever was on the other end said
something that made Lewiss expression change drastically, and he said, Ill be right there.
After hanging up, he looked at Keira apologetically. I might need to leave now.
Go ahead, Keira said nonchalantly.
Lewis paused, glanced at the people around him, and then said again, Ill leave the car for you, and have the driver take you home later.
He then stood up, straightened his suit, and was about to leave when he passed by Scott Martin. He suddenly said, Mr. Martin, everyone here is Keiras college classmates and teachers. Your presence seems to keep them from relaxing completely. Why dont we leave together?

Scott pursed his lips but politely stood up. Alright then.
However, as he was leaving with Lewis, he still turned
to look back at Keira. Miss Olsen, Ill be in touch with you frequently in the future.
These words darkened Lewiss face a few shades more.
Once the two men finally left, the atmosphere in the
private room completely relaxed, and everyone acted as if they had seen off a superior. They slumped back in their chairs and let out a deep sigh of relief!
Who wouldve thought that one day Id get to dine with such important figures? I reckon todays lunch is the peak of my life!
Now Ill never be short of something to talk about think that people I could only see on financial chan are actually having dinner and drinks with me My
God!
Alright, theyve left, but we still have Dr. South!
Professor Miller couldnt help but smile. He turned to discuss an academic issue with Keira when Isla

suddenly saidm Keira, arent you being shameless?!
As soon as she said this, everyone immediately looked
at her.
Charles frowned. Isla, I see it now. This whole time, it was you who were picking fights. Erin was just a pawn you used. So, what is it that you want to do now that Erin has stopped talking?
Isla didnt expect to be called out and bit her lip in
anger.
She lowered her gaze to think for a moment, then simply laughed. I dont want to do anything. I just think Keira has gone too far! She actually managed to persuade Mr. Horton to put on such a grand act with
her!
Her words stunned the people around her.
Keira frowned. Are you ever going to stop?
Isla sneered. Cant I talk about the things youve done yourself? Everyone in the Horton family knows Mr. Horton got married two years ago, whereas you got married after graduation. Tell me, how did the two of you manage to get married across those two years?

Keira frowned.
There were complicated reasons behind it, and she
hadnt clarified them.
She said indifferently, Mr. Horton and I are indeed legally married. Whether you believe it or not is up to
you.
Still being stubborn here! Jake, isnt the wife of our
uncle always abroad?
for
Jake had wanted to say this all along but didnt dare to
speak due to the pressure from Lewis. Now, he immediately sneered. Indeed, Keira, I courted you four years. How come I didnt know that you were my aunt by marriage?!

Isla sighed. Its all because of her face. She pleased Mr Horton and got him to join her in deceiving us. Keira really didnt expect that. Your mother is a mistress, al you, already married, would rather have an affair and
be someone elses mistress
Jake chimed in. Probably a genetic trait in the family, right? Cant stand not being someone elses mistress?
Their words were too harsh!

Compared to Erins words just now, it was an even deeper insult to Keiras character!
Even Professor Miller, who usually didnt intervene in student affairs, couldnt stand it anymore Enough! Isla, Jake, shut your mouths!
Isla looked at him. Professor Miller, knowing she is Dr. South, youre biased toward her, but does someone of her questionable personal morals deserve to be a distinguished professor at the school? Arent you afraid itll affect the schools reputation?!
Caught off-guard, Professor Miller stammered. You!
As a cultured man, he didnt know how to argue with Isla and could only turn to Keira. Keira, tell me, is what she saying true?
Keiras gaze was somber. Mr. Horton and I are indee legally married. If the school has concerns about this, can present the marriage certificate.
Youre still hardheaded even now? Isla scoffed, then suddenly said, Oh right, there might be something you dont know yet.
Keira frowned. What?

Isla said, In two days, its our great-grandmothers 86th birthday celebration. The Horton family is going to host it on a grand scale. While I and my mother-in-law were preparing, I saw the guest list. Our uncles wife will be returning on that day to make an appearance. Keira, maybe you dont know that. My uncles wife has already returned to the country! Ive even got her phone number. I can call right now to see who she really is!
Having said that, Isla took out her mobile phone and opened the number she had recorded.
Keira glanced at it and couldnt help but laugh.
Wasnt that her own number?
