As Lewis spoke, everyone was stunned.

Mrs. Olsen paused mid-step, then spun around, looking at Keira with disbelief etched on her face.

She was utterly astonished, her eyes filled with incredulity.

She took another step forward and handed the marriage certificate to Mrs. Olsen.

“Mrs. Horton looks absolutely stunned…”

Oliver frowned and immediately said, “Lewis, what do

you mean by this? Do you want to divorce your wife and marry Keira? If so, you must follow the formal legal process. You cannot treat her like this while your marriage still stands! The Horton family values won’t allow such actions!”

At his words, the Horton family patriarch, Nathan, also stepped forward.
