My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Keira shot Erin a look. "You seem rather gleeful about this."

Erin pressed her lips together, trying to suppress a smile. "Gleeful? Not at all! We're practically cousins, after all. I'm just concerned for you!"

Keira arched an eyebrow. Erin trotted alongside her toward the Horton family's living room. "Do you know why Eve Clark and Selena Horton are here today? It's probably because you helped old Mr. Sims, and now the Hortons are likely determined to avoid an alliance with you. So now, Eve is the new candidate for the alliance. For the Hortons, it's bound to leave a good impression."

Erin continued munching on pistachios, her words flowing easily. "There's an old Creran saying: 'Misfortune never comes alone.' When you're down, it feels like the whole world is against you.

"So, you see, you need to learn to pick and choose. Erin took another pistachio. "Do you regret helping Old Mr. Sims?"

"Not at all," Keira said firmly. "For you, it's all about weighing benefits, but for me, I have just one principle."

Erin paused, a hint of surprise crossing her face. Her pistachio-cracking slowed down as she took in Keira's words.

How many people can honestly say they've never had any regrets? Haven't you ever
