My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

The Cobb family had always maintained a low profile. Despite their high status, they never threw their weight around, which was why, even now, with Keira standing at his doorstep, Ryan hadn\'t called security or anyone else for backup.

Growing up, Ryan was raised to be kind and approachable. His usual demeanor was one of grace and elegance, but right now, standing before Keira, he frowned in irritation.

Being gentle didn\'t mean he couldn\'t get angry.

There had been instances where people underestimated the Cobb family\'s restraint, coming to provoke them. On the surface, the family might smile and let things slide, but behind closed doors, they\'d bankrupt their adversaries without a second thought. In the end, those same people would come crawling back, begging for mercy. And once the Cobbs granted them a lifeline, even though they had fallen from elite families to second-rate status, they were forever grateful to the Cobbs.

Ryan\'s eyes now carried a cold, dangerous edge.

Meanwhile, the woman standing before him seemed completely unbothered, casually fiddling with her phone, as though his growing fury didn\'t faze her in the slightest.

Keira was checking the time—just five minutes until 10:00.

If the South family\'s prophecy was correct, Ryan was supposed to be in a car accident in five minutes. But he was still standing in his own front yard, so how could that possibly happen?

Keira narrowed her eyes.

If no car accident occurred, then the South family\'s prophecy would be proven wrong.

According to Erin, once a prophecy from the South family was made, it couldn\'t be avoided. The only option was to face the impending disaster head-on.

The reason the South family shared their prophecies was to give the other party a chance to prepare.

In Ryan\'s case—if he had known about the accident ahead of time, maybe he could have avoided the worst of it and saved his life when the time came.

That was why the South family\'s predictions were so rare and valuable. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Keira glanced at Ryan and checked her phone again. Four minutes left...

The car accident from the prophecy was about to happen, and even Keira couldn\'t help but feel a bit tense.

Ryan glanced down at his own watch and scoffed. "Ms. Olsen, I\'ve got four minutes left, and I\'m still in my front yard. There\'s no way your car accident prediction is coming true."

Keira nodded. "Yep, four more minutes. Please, just bear with me a little longer, Mr. Cobb. I promise, at 10:01, you\'re free to go."

Ryan smirked, clearly not taking her seriously.

Keira sighed softly.

Just then, a voice called out, "Aunt Keera, I know Uncle Lewis has spoiled you, but how could you pull something like this?"

Everyone turned to see Selena approaching.

Still putting on her polite, innocent front, Selena looked as poised as ever. But her eyes betrayed her and were filled with unmistakable hostility.

Keira lowered her gaze, not interested in engaging.

Selena stepped closer, turning her attention to Ryan. "I\'m so sorry, big brother. Let me apologize on behalf of my aunt. Uncle and the Olsen family spoil her too much, and now she\'s out of control…"

Ryan\'s frown deepened.

Before he could respond, a sarcastic voice chimed in, "Little manipulator, did you forget to brush your teeth this morning?"

Selena was momentarily stunned, unsure of whom Erin was talking to.

Keira\'s lips curled into a slight smile. Erin looked directly at Selena. "Selena, I\'m talking to you."

Selena\'s brow furrowed. "What did you just call me?"

"A scheming manipulator," Erin said sweetly. "Or manipulator, for short. Doesn\'t it suit you? You\'re like a walking example of that phrase—so fresh and innocent!"

Erin smiled brightly.

Selena\'s jaw tightened.

Knowing she couldn\'t out-argue Erin, Selena shifted her gaze back to Keira. "Aunt Keera, it\'s one thing to show up by yourself, but bringing her along to start a fight? You really don\'t respect the Cobb family, do you?"

Keira looked at Ryan, giving him a serious explanation. "We\'re only insulting Selena, not the Cobb family."

Ryan didn\'t know what to say.

Wait, what? Why was she explaining this so seriously?

He felt thrown off, unsure of how to respond for a moment. It was like someone slapped him, then immediately apologized as if that made everything better.

Ryan\'s lips twitched, and he couldn\'t help but speak up, "Ms. Olsen, Selena is still part of the Cobb family now, so could you… tone it down a little?"

Even as he said it, something about it felt wrong.

Keira turned to Erin. "You heard him. Watch your words."

Erin grinned. "Got it. Fine, I won\'t call you a manipulator anymore, okay? But seriously, some people… when they can\'t win an argument, they run and tattle. How old are you again? Still in diapers? You\'re not still wearing a pull-up, are you?"

As she said that, Erin glanced downward toward Selena\'s waist.

Selena stiffened, her face turning red with anger as she clenched her fists, practically shaking. "Miss Martin, I\'d appreciate it if you watched your mouth."

"No matter how much you\'d like me to clean it up, it\'s nothing compared to the stench coming from you," Erin retorted. "Next time, try brushing your teeth before you leave the house."
