My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

136 Slap in the Face

Charles was truly shocked.

Isla and Keira had always had a strained relationship at the university; it was something everyone vaguely sensed.

They just didn’t know why.

Later at the graduation ceremony, when Jake proposed to Isla, it led everyone to speculate that the two women had tensions because of a man.

So, why had Dr. South taken on Isla as her research

student?

Without thinking, he blurted out the question.

And with those words, everyone at the dinner table turned to look at him, their eyes wide with shock.

Someone couldn’t help but ask hesitantly, “Charles, what did you just say?”

Charles was speechless.

He immediately looked apologetically at Keira.

Keira actually didn’t care.

anymore.

Just as she was about to say something, Erin’s voice chimed in. “Charles, what are you implying? Are you actually suggesting that Keira is Dr. South? What kind of joke is that?”

The others laughed.

“Charles, you really can say anything!”

“Don’t stir up trouble here and make a big deal out of

nothing.”

“Dr. South is so prominent in the new energy industry How could he be a young woman in her twenties? Three years ago, he published a paper when we were just sophomores and still not very clear about the co technology of new energy!”

“Charles, you really are a joker…”

Seeing that nobody believed him, Charles’s stubborn nature kicked in. “Why would I lie to you guys? I work at Dr. South’s company. How could I not know who Dr.
