My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 802

As soon as Keira said this, Erin and Jenkins exchanged a look, then both shook their heads.

Keira frowned. “What's the problem?”

Erin shrugged. “Ever since we left the South family, we've only kept in touch in our group chat. We haven't met in person for years!”

She looked over at Jenkins. “You too? Haven't seen her?”

Jenkins nodded.

Erin scoffed, “So, you didn't even see her in person, and just one phone call had you running scared?”

Jenkins held her gaze. “What would you have done?”

Erin paused, quiet for a moment, her silence enough to tell Keira that she would've run, too.

Jenkins explained, “I built an empire in Country A, not by myself but with a team that just kept expanding. The bigger it got, the more I couldn't control it alone.”

Keira nodded in understanding. She'd lived through that herself.

She'd built her first company from nothing, though her own journey had started much earlier. The first job she held was in a diner, waiting tables, back in middle school. When she left the Olsen family, Mrs. Olsen had given her some money to get by, but it was immediately taken by Poppy, who declared Keira unworthy of spending Olsen money. From then on, she'd been on her own. She started with a summer job at that diner. It was rough, but she was smart and a fast learner. She watched the chef work and could replicate a dish after just one demonstration. Soon enough, she'd step in when the chef was sick, cooking for an entire shift, perfectly following the recipes to the gram.

Had Jenkins stayed, Clownfish might never have carried out the threat, but she wasn't willing to take that risk.

Keira met her eyes. “So now Clownfish has taken over your company?”

“No.” Jenkins shook her head. “The board sensed something was up when I left. My most trusted people are still protecting my business, but I lost my financial stronghold. That's why I came to Crera, to ally with the Olsen family and get their help in driving Clownfish out.”

Keira blinked. “The Olsens have that kind of power?”

Jenkins shot her a knowing look. “You really don't know your father, do you? You think he's just some average businessman? He's the one who brought Olsen Group to the top of the five major families! Anyone looking for allies in Crera would go to him first.”

Keira's gaze sharpened. “Then Clownfish will likely target my family too?”
