My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

665  Chapter 664

Erin glanced at Eve and said, " Some people know how to play the charity game, all for the sake of reputation!"

Eve's expression stiffened upon hearing this.

Selena immediately frowned, "People have speculated that N might be an elderly person who decided to donate their entire fortune to charity. Even if that's true, N has never made a public appearance. So, Eve is still the number one philanthropist, and I'm not wrong to say so!"

Keira raised an eyebrow and looked at Erin.

She wondered what Erin was planning to do.

Erin immediately said, "Who said N is an old man? N is a young woman, okay? She just prefers to stay anonymous to avoid being labeled a 'philanthropist' and flaunting money that isn't even hers. It's all raised from public donations, so what's there to brag about?"

Eve immediately frowned. "Miss, watch your tone. I personally lead donations every year that raise millions for charity!"

"Oh, millions, how impressive." Erin sarcastically popped a pistachio into her mouth, the disdain in her tone unmistakable.

This single expression was enough to infuriate Eve and Selena!

The two of them glared at her furiously, "What do you mean by that?"

Erin shrugged, "I don't mean anything. I'm just eating pistachios. What, is it some Hortons' rule that you can't eat pistachios around them?"

Lewis stifled a laugh, "We don't have any such rule in our family."

"So, it's just Ms. Clark being overly sensitive then?"

Erin blinked innocently, "A true philanthropist should be able to endure both praise and criticism. You can't take the title but not handle any scrutiny, right?"

Eve was left speechless.

Erin's sharp tongue had completely shut down Eve and Selena.

After saying her piece, Erin popped another pistachio into her mouth and turned to Keira. "So, how did I do? My verbal sparring skills are pretty sharp, right?" Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"Not bad," Keira said, lowering her gaze. "But why are you sticking up for me?"

"I already told you, since you've sworn loyalty to me, you're my subordinate. Of course, I'm going to help you."

Keira frowned, "I never agreed to that."

"You will eventually." Erin patted her on the shoulder, "Your tongue might be sharp, but when it comes to critical moments, you need to leave it to me!"

Keira didn't know what to say.

She just didn't want to waste her time arguing with fools.

Just like now, even though Erin had verbally put them in their place, what would it change?

Those people wouldn't change their demeanor.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Selena turned to Keira and said, "Miss Olsen, do you have something against Ms. Clark? What did she ever do wrong? She's just secretly in love with Uncle Lewis. Besides, you already have a reputation that's affecting our family. How does it hurt you if my uncle goes on a date with Ms. Clark?"

A date?

Keira raised an eyebrow and looked at Lewis.

Lewis frowned and scolded sharply, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Selena shrugged, "Uncle, why are you so nervous? As long as you're not married, it's perfectly acceptable to meet others. Surely, you're not afraid of Miss Olsen, right?"

Any couple without a strong foundation might have been swayed by Selena's words.

But both Lewis and Keira viewed Selena as nothing more than a clown.

Keira even found it hard to watch.

She was about to speak when Erin suddenly burst out laughing.

Keira paused and looked at Erin.

Erin stepped forward and said, "Miss Horton, right? You're not looking too good right now. This little trick of sowing discord isn't quite working out. Maybe you should practice more before trying it again!"

Selena was momentarily speechless, but then she retorted angrily, "Miss, I don't care what your relationship is with Miss Olsen, but let me tell you this: Ms. Clark is superior to Miss Olsen in every way. If she were to marry my uncle, she would definitely bring a positive influence to the Horton family!"

Erin continued, "Oh, so the Horton family's reputation depends entirely on the women, does it?"

Once again, Selena was left speechless.

Then Erin looked over at Eve and added with a mocking smile, "And you, do you really think you're invincible? Do you even know who Keera is?"

Before Keira could react, Erin spoke again, "Open your eyes wide and listen up! Miss Keera is none other than N, the philanthropist! Stop praising Eve already. Compared to Miss Olsen, she's nothing!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at "Keera".

Erin quickly retreated to Keira's side and smiled, "Oops, I might've exaggerated a bit. Keira, how are you going to clean up the mess I just made?"

Keira said, "…You're the one who's boasting. What's that got to do with me?"

Erin grinned, "But I was speaking on your behalf. I've said so many nice things about you that they're definitely going to think we're a team! How are you going to fix this mess?"
