My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

Chapter 418

As soon as these words were spoken, Austin immediately picked a disciple and told him to get the Sect Leader.

….

Covered in sweat from Lady Gill’s glare, Chris nervously chuckled. “Lady Gill, we can talk things out. There’s no need to be so angry… Right, where’s Mr. Gill?”

Lady Gill sneered. “He’s too shy and too embarrassed to argue with you folks. He didn’t come today; I told him to stay at home!”

Then, with a wave of her hand, Lady Gill had someone bring her a chair and sat down. “Today, I’ll wait here to see exactly how the Freeman Sect plans to explain themselves to me!”

Chris was speechless.

He stepped forward to exchange pleasantries with Lady Gill.

Keira watched from the side, furrowing her brows.

Lady Gill must be nearly fifty, yet she still carried herself with fierce determination. Her face filled with anger, and with what she had just said…

Keira turned to James and whispered, “Does Lady Gill hold a high position within the Gill family?”

Weren’t all the heads of the five major families men?

James whispered back, “Officially, it’s Lady Gill’s husband who’s the head of the family, but really, they all listen to her. Currently, she’s as powerful as the head of the Gill family, and with three sons under her name, it’s no surprise she’s spoiled her youngest into what he is now…”

Feeling a sense of lament, Keira recognized that Lady Gill was clearly a formidable woman.

Today’s matter would be somewhat tricky to handle.

She cast her gaze downward.

James then whispered, “I’ve heard that when Lady Gill was young, she fancied Uncle Olsen, so maybe we should call Uncle Olsen right now? How about a ‘beauty trap’ strategy?”

Keira couldn’t believe it.

“You’ll get a beating from your Uncle Olsen if he knows what you suggested!”

Kate nodded. “Yes, yes, that sounds good!”

Keira thought, “They really are a perfect match.”

Looking away, she asked, “According to the sect rules, how would this matter be dealt with?”

James replied, “The sect rules dictate that your martial arts cultivation be abolished and you be banished from Freeman Sect.”

Upon hearing this, Keira frowned.

Just as she was about to mention that she hadn’t learned her martial arts at Freeman Sect, she suddenly remembered that she was now taking the place of her sister Keera, an Outer Sect Disciple of Freeman Sect, who did practice the sect’s martial arts.

She didn’t want Chris implicated, and she didn’t want the Freeman Sect’s reputation tarnished because of her.

While pondering, James whispered again, “But don’t worry, we’re all from the five major families. You’re the daughter Uncle Olsen recently acknowledged. Lady Gill wouldn’t dare treat you so harshly. The Freeman Sect will have to think twice before they punish you, weighing your importance within the Olsen family!”

James’s voice was resolute. “At worst, you’ll leave Freeman Sect. If you want to leave unscathed, our family has many ways to ensure it. I’d like to see who dares touch a hair on your head!”

Keira didn’t know what to say.

But she couldn’t give in!

She had to be accepted into the Inner Sect in order to establish a personal and cooperative relationship with the Freeman family.

As she was thinking, she heard Chris say, “Weren’t the events at the Olsen family the talk of the town yesterday? This young lady here is Uncle Olsen’s very own daughter, just recently acknowledged. It’s said she wandered outside for a long time. Uncle Olsen is very fond of her, and he especially called me, asking me to accept her as an Inner Sect Disciple. You and Uncle Olsen are old acquaintances, after all, and it’s just a minor squabble between the kids. Why don’t we call it even?”

Lady Gill’s sharp gaze immediately turned upon hearing these words.

As she laid eyes on Keira’s face, a slight frown creased her brow. After a long pause, she suddenly asked, “Is your mother Jodie South?”

Keira didn’t deny it.

Lady Gill then sneered. “No wonder you dared to hit my son; you’re the daughter of that cheap woman! Back then, she messed with James, so why didn’t she just be with him? Instead, she vanished into thin air, leaving James unmarried all these years! Unexpectedly, she secretly hid herself away and gave birth to you!”

From Lady Gill’s words, Keira detected a hint of resentment toward her mother. Was it because she liked James, so she was taking it out on her mother?

As she pondered, Lady Gill suddenly said, “Since you’re his daughter, I’ll show you some consideration. How about this, kneel to my son, and we can call it even!”

These words made Keira frown.

James also stepped forward at once. “Lady Gill, don’t go too far!”

“Too far?”

Pointing at Austin, Lady Gill said, “Look at how she beat up my son, not a single patch of good skin on him. I’m only asking her to kneel, not for her to take the same beating, and that’s because I’m taking into account that she is a woman!”

Chris also frowned. “Lady Gill, this is a bit too much for a younger person, isn’t it…”

Lady Gill scoffed. “I’m simply speaking fairly!”

Keira saw her speak in a clear and organized manner and decided to try reasoning with her. “Lady Gill, do you know why I hit your son?”

Lady Gill ridiculed. “Isn’t it just some boy-girl thing? So what? Mary did it, but my son can’t say it?! Since she seduced my son and then took away the collaboration from our Gill family, she should pay the price! My son didn’t make it up, and you dared to hit him just because he talked. Do you think the Gill family are pushovers?”

Keira’s brows immediately furrowed, “Mary didn’t seduce your son! It’s all his nonsense! He already admitted it himself!”

“Ha! That was him admitting under duress, after being tortured by you, I heard. You have an assistant as well? Call him over too. I would really like to see who dares to beat up my son like this in Clance!”

The Gill family’s power was enormous, not any less than the Olsen family. Austin was the third son, the apple of Lady Gill’s eye, and had always been spoiled. This was why, when Ellis acted against him, the man was so stubborn. Austin was certain that Ellis wouldn’t dare to truly harm him until he met… Lewis Horton.

As Keira listened to these words, her gaze once again turned toward Austin. She then realized that Lady Gill was actually quite reasonable. It was just that she had been deceived by Austin. But Lady Gill trusted her son; where could Keira now go to prove that there was nothing between Austin and Mary and that it was all his fabrications?!

Suddenly, Keira felt as though she was trapped in a dead-end. How could she break this situation?

Just then, a somewhat hoarse voice strained from too much crying came through. “Lady Gill, oh Lady Gill, how can you be so lacking in compassion toward the younger generation?

“If a young woman has beaten up your son, you should reflect on yourself. How could a man allow a woman to beat him to the point he cries? Don’t you think?”

The voice arrived before the person even entered the yard.

James’s eyes lit up, “The Sect Leader has come!”
