My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

When Charles made this statement, everyone was stunned and looked at him

in confusion.

“What do you mean? Will Dr. South come today?

Charles couldn’t help but feel a vague sense of exhilaration.

It was as though a maestro was right beside them, yet these people were blissfully unaware.

He was about to say something…

Keira gave him a fleeting glance.

Even though she didn’t speak, Charles immediately understood.

Dr. South had kept her information so confidential because she didn’t want to

be exposed.

Thinking about it, he could understand why.

With so many classmates here, all involved in new energy, if they knew she was Dr. South, Keira would never have a moment’s peace.

He coughed and frowned, saying, “Is Dr. South’s business something you can inquire about? Honestly, I just met Dr. South in person today myself!” That’s how cheeky boys often talked, and it sparked laughter among the crowd.

“Right, right, we’re not worthy of inquiring…”

“Dr. South is now the top expert in our industry. Our company has always wanted to cooperate with him, but Mr. Morgan from your company is impenetrable. No matter how many gifts our boss has sent him, it’s been no use.”

“Your Mr. Morgan is pretty slick, too…”

The conversation veered off, as everyone started to complain about their bosses and corporate life, including someone who said, “Interns at our company have absolutely no rights! They spend their days buying coffee for the staff, dealing with printing, doing grunt work – it’s ridiculous!

“Same with us, but I don’t indulge them. I’m a graduate of Oceanion University, so why should I do menial tasks for them? They don’t pay me double the

salary!”

“Hahaha, looks like college graduates are reforming the workplace!”

Amidst the lively discussion, more people continued to arrive.

They were old classmates, each joining in the chat.

Keira was low-key and didn’t talk much. She was soon overlooked by others, which she found rather pleasant.

After a while, most of the classmates almost arrived. High-profile individuals like Jake and Isla finally made their entrance.

The moment the two appeared at the entrance, everyone immediately stood

up.

“Mr. Horton is here!”

“Whoa, today we’re feasting in such a fancy hotel, and it’s all thanks to Mr.

Horton!”

“I hesitated at the door and hardly dared to come in. It’s so luxurious – how much would a meal here cost?”

“You don’t know? This hotel is owned by the Horton family. Mr. Horton is treating us to dinner, and it probably doesn’t cost him a thing!

The crowd jested playfully, each chiming in as they gathered around Jake, escorting him to the table and offering him a seat next to the place of honor. Seeing these old classmates, Jake felt a tinge of nostalgia for the innocent days of college, and the austerity in his eyes seemed to lessen for a moment.

Isla was like a perfect ornament, gracefully sitting next to him, arm in arm.

After he and Isla sat down, he looked around and asked, “What’s everyone talking about?”

“Hey, aren’t we just discussing work? It’s been two months since graduation, and most of us have found jobs or have been admitted to grad school…”

Jake took the opportunity to speak. “Well, if there’s anything work-related that

I can help with, just let me know.”

Someone immediately laughed and said, “Forget it. Who doesn’t know that the Horton Group only hires masters and doctoral graduates? We’re only undergraduates. Even if we got in through your connections, we would only embarrass you if we can’t do the job well!

“Hahaha, we don’t want to struggle at the Horton Group. There’s no way we can keep up!”

While everyone was laughing, Erin shifted her glance and suddenly said, “Speaking of which, there’s actually someone among us who hasn’t found a job yet. Mr. Horton, do you remember Keira? Maybe you could help her out?”

Erin and Isla still kept in touch, but not much.

By bringing this up, her intention was to embarrass Keira. Everyone knew that during college, Jake pursued Keira for four whole years! It had started from the first year, and the entire college knew about it. Unfortunately, at the graduation ceremony, Jake heJd a bouquet of flowers but proposed to Isla instead.

Erin felt that mentioning this was an insult to Keira.

But as soon as she said this, she failed to notice both Jake and Isla’s expressions stiffen momentarily.

Give Keira a job at the Horton Group?

Dr. South didn’t need a job referral. Not only that, but Isla was currently hell-bent on getting Keira out of the Horton family. How could she possibly allow Keira to become even more entangled with the Horton family?

Isla, displeased, looked down and said nothing.

Jake also abruptly clenched his fists, his gaze falling on Keira.

But Charles couldn’t listen to this anymore. “Erin, what’s wrong with you? Why are you always targeting Keira? You know perfectly well what happened between Keira and Mr. Horton. Is it fun for you to deliberately bring it up?” Charles’s blunt words made everyone at the table look disapprovingly at Erm.

If Erin had initially appeared to be concerned about her classmate, now it was crystal clear to everyone that she was targeting Keira.

Reprimanded by Charles, Erin felt a wave of mortification, and anger rose in her chest. She bit her lip in fury as she glared at him, then snapped angrily. “I just think Keira is the worst off among us, and I wanted Mr. Horton to help her out for old time’s sake! She probably wouldn’t dare to ask for help herself!

What’s wrong with that?”

Although few people believed her, someone still stepped up to mediate. “Okay, that’s enough. Let’s stop there. Charles, really, we’re having a reunion. Why are you so sensitive?”

That made Erin instantly feel wronged, and tears welled up in her. She looked at Keira, who sat there as if it had nothing to do with her and sneered. “Exactly, what’s with all the fuss, Charles? If others didn’t know better, they might think you’re hooking up with Keira!”

Charles was astonished.

He was taken aback and immediately exclaimed, “How am I worthy! Don’t be ridiculous!”

His words further agitated Erin.

She liked Charles, but he just said he was unworthy of Keira. Didn’t that mean she ranked below Keira?!

Erin immediately sneered. “How are you not worthy? I heard Keira’s master’s degree recommendation was canceled, and now she hasn’t gone on to grad school, nor found a job. She’s always been working part-time all through college, right? And now without a proper job, she’s just relying on her looks. What use is that? No wonder Mr. Horton didn’t choose her in the end! Look at Isla. She was admitted to Dr. South’s graduate program! Charles, don’t think you’re any better just because you work under Dr. South! Isla is Dr. South’s graduate student. Has she ever boasted or been arrogant?”

Isla was shocked.

She immediately clenched her fists, wishing she could silence Erin!

It was true that after Keira’s identity as Dr. South was revealed, she accepted an offer from Oceanion University, but the graduate program was left behind.

Bringing up that now was so embarrassing!

She was about to change the subject when Charles already looked at Keira with surprise, asking, “Dr.. South, did you accept Isla as your graduate student?!”
