My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

753  Chapter 752

Keira and Lewis quickly arrived at the Cobb residence.

It wasn't that they couldn't explain things over the phone; face-to-face, they felt they could pick up on more clues.

Oh, and Erin, the little shadow, was tagging along.

As she munched on pistachios, she looked at Lewis and asked, "Aren't you supposed to be investigating the truth behind the car accident? Why are you here today?"

Yesterday, Lewis hadn't come because he wanted to keep his distance from Keira while he set up surveillance to see if anyone from the South family was approaching. He even deployed a drone, ready to spot a fly buzzing into the Cobb household.

Today, it was supposed to be another coordinated effort, yet Lewis insisted on coming along.

Lewis ignored Erin.

She smirked, leaning closer. "You think I don't know what you're thinking? You're just worried someone's got their eyes on a certain someone!"

Lewis shot her a sidelong glance.

Undeterred, Erin raised her chin defiantly.

It was strange, really. Lewis had an unpredictable nature that could be quite intimidating. On the other hand, Keira always appeared calm and stunningly beautiful, yet she exuded zero hostility.

But Erin, for some reason, feared Keira more than Lewis. When Lewis shot her a glare, she stuck her tongue out in defiance. But when Keira turned to look at her, Erin immediately quieted down.

This scene…

A glimmer of depth flickered in Lewis's eyes.

Lost in thought, he realized the car had already parked, and they stepped into the Cobb family's living room.

Typically composed and aloof, Ryan was not lounging on the couch as he usually did. Instead, he was surprisingly standing outside, waiting.

When he spotted Keira, a spark lit up his gaze as he opened his mouth to say something, but a tall figure brushed past Keira. "Hello, Mr. Cobb," Lewis greeted.

Ryan turned to see Lewis.

The man radiated an aura like a predator marking his territory, his eyes fierce and intense.

Ryan hesitated, placing his hand out toward Keira, but then shifted it to Lewis instead. "Hello, Mr. Horton."

Then he turned to Keira, saying, "Hello, Ms. Olsen."

Erin waved her hand in greeting, but Ryan didn't acknowledge her and stepped aside. "Please, come in."

Erin raised an eyebrow. Seriously? Did Ryan just forget about her?

"Two guests?" she muttered under her breath.

Rolling her eyes, she followed Keira into the living room.

Ellie was already there, her eyes red and puffy, evidence that she'd been crying.

Upon seeing the group, she quickly wiped her tears and put on a brave face. "Ms. Olsen, I can't thank you enough for yesterday. If it weren't for you, my brother and I might not be here."

Keira shrugged. "It was nothing, really. Just a helping hand."

Ellie blinked in surprise at Keira's nonchalance.

Ryan gestured to the couch. "Ms. Olsen, please have a seat."

After that, he remembered Lewis was also there, so he added, "Mr. Horton, please have a seat, too."

Keira and Lewis settled on the couch opposite Ryan while Erin plopped herself onto the armrest next to Keira, perching half her body on it. With her big, bright eyes darting around, she seemed to put the pieces together, grinning mischievously as if she understood everything.

Her antics were infuriating; Keira felt an urge to smack her.

Fighting the impulse, Keira turned to Ryan. "You mentioned you found out the truth behind the accident. What exactly happened?" Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Everyone instinctively shifted their gaze to Ellie.

They pretended not to notice her unease.

Everyone was smart enough to recognize that Ellie's expression hinted she had some involvement in this.

Ellie's heart sank. Maybe she shouldn't be here.

She stood up and cleared her throat. "Uh, why don't you all continue the conversation without me?"

Ryan responded coolly, "You should sit down."

Ellie hesitated before slowly sitting back down, her head bowed.

Ryan took a breath. "This situation originated with Ellie. She…"

He paused as if weighing his words, then continued, "She had a boyfriend who bribed a housekeeper to tamper with the brakes, intending to kill her and seize her inheritance."

Keira raised an eyebrow at this revelation.

Lewis's face remained impassive.

But Erin's eyes lit up. "Whoa, spill the details!"

She plopped down on the couch and pulled out a handful of pistachios, ready to dig in.

Keira and Lewis had grown accustomed to Erin's behavior, but the other two looked utterly bewildered.

Ellie was speechless.

Ryan, equally baffled, wondered what was wrong with Erin. Why did she always go off-script?
