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!

She almost forgot that Keira’s nickname was also South, which was what Mrs. Olsen would sometimes

call her.

Keira lowered her eyes.

The name was something she had chosen when she was in elementary school.

“South” indeed came from the surname of Mrs. Olsen,

aka Jodie South.

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
