My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

280 The First Step of Divorce

Mary immediately frowned and looked at her.

Keira pursed her lips, trying to make her gaze seem

softer.

Mary examined her face back and forth, then suddenly stood up, walked over to her, and touched her

forehead.

Keira was dumbfounded.

“You don’t have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense? You refused to tell me who they were back

then, saying it would compromise my safety. Why are you asking me now?”

For the first time, Keira sensed Keera’s caution.

At least regarding this matter, she was very careful.

Keira just said “Right”, her expression unchanged. “I was worried you might have discovered some clue, but it seems you still know nothing. That’s good.”

Sure enough, Mary was led astray. “Keera, you really are too cautious. Didn’t you say? Since you couldn’t even complete their first task, they wouldn’t come

it’s not me.”

After saying that, she couldn’t help but complain. “I considered you my best friend; we’ve been to the same school since kindergarten and have stayed friends all these years, but to you, I’m less significant than Amy, let alone your mother-in-law and Howard. For them, you actually abandoned me… Forget it, let’s not talk about it. It makes me feel so sad!”

She was genuinely aggrieved!

Mary pouted.

Keira wasn’t good at comforting others, so she remained silent. Just then, the sound of the door opening was heard, and Howard’s mother walked in.
