Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 425 novelbin of "My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire Reviews" — a chapter that leaves us breathless with its explosive action, heart-wrenching revelations, and the shocking twist that ties everything together.
---
The air in the courtyard was still thick with tension when Keira's foot slammed viciously into Jackson's groin. The sound that followed was sickening — a faint, unmistakable *crunch* that seemed to echo through the silence. Jackson's face drained of all color as he looked down in disbelief, spotting a trail of blood seeping through his crotch. Before the excruciating pain could fully register, his eyes rolled back and he collapsed, unconscious.
"Mr. Gill!" The thugs rushed to his side, their faces twisted with fury. They glared at Keira, venom dripping from their words. "You just wait — the Gill family will not let this go!" With that, they hurriedly lifted Jackson and fled the scene.
The courtyard fell silent, the chaos of the scuffle now replaced by stunned stillness. Matias finally found his voice, panic-stricken. "Keera, how could you...?"
Keira looked at him coolly. "What about it?"
Matias sighed heavily, his mind racing. "Forget it. If the Freeman Sect starts investigating, just say it was me who kicked him! Don't admit it no matter what, or you'll lose your chance to join the Inner Sect!"
"It's fine," Keira replied calmly.
"What do you mean 'it's fine'?!" Matias was frantic now. "Your lifelong dream has been to join the Inner Sect! You've endured so much hardship for this! Jackson knew your ambitions — that's why he kept bullying you! How could you be so impulsive for us...?"
But Keira wasn't impulsive. When she had entered and seen Nara's state, the anger that surged through her wasn't just for the moment — it was for every humiliation her sister had suffered at Jackson's hands in the past. Seeing Nara was like seeing her own sister from years ago, tormented and powerless. In her fury, she struck without regret. Besides, with the Sect Leader on her side, she knew she wouldn't face serious trouble.
Matias, however, couldn't understand her reasoning. He pleaded earnestly, "Remember what I said — go to the Freeman Sect now and accuse me of assaulting Jackson. I'll take all the blame!"
Keira didn't move. Instead, Lewis stepped forward, and Matias immediately recognized him as Keera's new companion. "Talk to her!" Matias urged.
Lewis approached Keira and said, "As a woman, how could you kick a man there?"
Keira raised an eyebrow.
Matias took a deep breath. "I'm not saying you can't hit him — anything else is fine — but that part... if it's damaged, our feud with the Gill family will truly escalate!"
Lewis nodded. "Next time you want to do something like that, let me do it."
Matias was dumbfounded, staring incredulously at Lewis. Keira asked, "Why?"
Lewis curled his lips. "It's quite filthy." Then he pulled out a tissue, knelt down, and began wiping the bloodstain from her leather boots. After cleaning it, he still looked disgusted and asked Matias, "Do you have any water?"
Matias was completely confused, but Nara snapped out of her shock and quickly brought a basin of water. Lewis dipped his handkerchief in it and carefully cleaned Keira's boots again, polishing them until they nearly shone white. Only then did he stop, still frowning in dissatisfaction.
Keira pursed her lips and patted him lightly. "That's enough!"
Lewis finally relented. Keira turned her attention back to Matias. "You were deliberately hurt by Jackson — why didn't you report it to the Freeman Sect?"
Matias sighed. "It's no use. Jackson is from the direct lineage of the Gill family. The Freeman Sect won't do anything, and even the Gill family itself will suppress this." He hung his head. "He's from the second branch and colludes with Austin from the first branch. Lady Gill loves her third son the most, so she's always been biased toward Jackson. His status in the family is very high."
He started worrying again, but Keira cut him off. "Don't mention what you just said. With your injuries, how could you have kicked him? Whether with your uninjured leg or your injured one?"
Matias was speechless.
Keira patted his shoulder and turned to look at Nara. After a moment, she said slowly, "The Freeman Sect has wronged you. About that sect rule, I'll suggest to the Sect Leader to change it." As the senior sister, she felt a sense of belonging to the sect and knew unreasonable rules needed amending.
Matias's mouth twitched again. "Keera, when did you start boasting? You don't need to comfort me..."
Keira looked at Nara's barren home and sighed. She took out a stack of money and handed it to her. "Take this."
Nara immediately waved her hand away, but then touched her neck and realized — her jade pendant, which Jackson had snatched, was gone! Panic seized her. Her brother had told her that pendant might be linked to her background, the only clue to finding her biological parents. If it was lost, she would never know who she truly was. Her eyes reddened instantly.
Keira frowned. "What's wrong?"
---
Meanwhile, at the Gill family residence, Austin had been nursing his swollen, bruised face, too humiliated to go out. When Lady Gill hurried in, he straightened up. "Mom, what's the rush? Is there news about my sister?"
At the mention of his sister, Lady Gill's footsteps faltered. A shadow of sadness passed over both their faces.
"We found the human traffickers from back then. They said when your sister was captured, she came down with a fever. Fearing she'd infect the other children, they dumped her in Clance."
Austin's eyes instantly reddened. "What?! Has my sister been in Clance all these years?" His mind flashed back fifteen years — he was five, his sister four. He had sneaked her out of the house, and they were targeted by traffickers. The traffickers initially wanted him, but his sister rushed at their feet, refusing to let go, clinging to them even as they slapped her. The neighbors heard the commotion, and the traffickers, afraid, let Austin go but took his sister instead. He had chased the car, crying his heart out, but it never stopped.
The guilt had haunted him ever since. He spent his days in Clance in idleness, never doing anything serious. Lady Gill and the rest indulged him because they all knew why.
Now, Austin was ecstatic. "If we can pinpoint my sister's address, finding her will be much easier! Mom, send more people to search in Clance! Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find her!!"
Lady Gill nodded. "Alright, don't worry."
Austin dashed upstairs and came back down hugging a box, rushing to his mother. "Mom, these are the gifts I've prepared for my sister over the years. All my New Year's money, shares of the company... My life was given to me by my sister; all these things should be hers after we find her!"
Lady Gill's eyes reddened. "Your sister won't blame you..."
Austin wiped his tears. "We were so close when we were little. She won't blame me. I just... I don't know if she's had a good life over these years."
Just then, his phone rang. Jackson's howling cries came through. "Austin, you must stand up for me! Ah..."
Austin moved the phone away until the pitiful screams ended. "What happened to you?"
"Austin," Jackson said weakly. "It's Keera! She beat me up again today. She crushed my... family jewels!"
Austin glanced subconsciously at a certain part of himself and felt a chill. That place was the most sensitive and vulnerable spot for a man — to have it crushed... He shuddered, grateful that Keera had shown mercy when she attacked him last time. But Jackson's behavior had been what infuriated her most.
"What hospital are you at? I'll come see you..."
After Jackson gave the name, Austin hung up and looked at his mother furiously. "Mom, that Keera is going too far! She completely disregarded the Gill family! I just visited Freeman Sect to settle things with her, and now she's beaten Jackson again!"
Lady Gill frowned. "Jackson has been strutting around Clance all day long. I find it annoying. If he's been beaten, so be it!"
Austin bluntly said, "His balls have been kicked to pieces."
Lady Gill was shocked and stood up. "This isn't a small scuffle anymore! Keera truly has no sense of measure! We, the Gill family, must hold her accountable for this!!"
Austin nodded vigorously. "Right, Mom. If we let this slide, who knows if she'll kick mine to pieces next time?"
Lady Gill looked at her timid son and curled her lips. "Rest assured, I won't let her off easily! Even if she is Sam's daughter, what of it? She has to learn a lesson!"
Austin grabbed his coat and rushed out, heading to the hospital. When he entered Jackson's ward, the man had already undergone surgery. The doctor said his balls were shattered beyond repair. Jackson was in despair, but the anesthesia numbed the pain for now.
"Have you become a eunuch now?" Austin asked bluntly.
Hatred flickered in Jackson's eyes. "Yes! Austin, I can never do that kind of thing again! You must avenge me!"
Austin felt a chill and asked, "What did you do to make her so angry?"
"I just bullied a little girl, and she saw it... Austin, tomorrow, you have to take me to Freeman Sect. I absolutely can't let her go!!"
Austin nodded. "Don't worry. My mom has agreed. We'll go to the Freeman Sect again tomorrow. My injury can be ignored by the Sect Leader — it'll heal in a few days. But yours is severe. The Freeman Sect must give the Gill family an explanation!"
Tears escaped Jackson's eyes. "I want her to marry me! To torment her severely on the bed every day!"
Austin frowned, feeling that Jackson had been driven insane. Just then, a nurse entered carrying Jackson's clothes. "We changed you into surgery attire. Here are your clothes."
She set them on the sofa and left. Austin glanced at the belongings, still stained with blood. But as his gaze was about to retract, he spotted something — a moon-shaped jade pendant.
Austin stiffened. "Isn't that my sister's jade?" He turned to Jackson, pointing at it. "Where did this come from?!"
Jackson was startled and turned to look. When he saw the pendant, he froze. Where did this come from? He recalled snatching it from the neck of Matias's sister... And then the realization hit him. That jade pendant — the daughter lost by the first branch of the family had been wearing exactly such a piece when she disappeared. So Matias's sister was actually the lost daughter of the Gill family, the rightful young princess of the first branch?
Jackson's eyes became frantic. Austin had already rushed to his side, grabbing his collar. "Speak! Where did this moon-shaped jade come from!"
Jackson swallowed hard. "Austin, well..."
"What?! Speak!" Austin roared.
Thinking back to how he had bullied Nara in the courtyard, witnessing her tear-stained face, Jackson grew scared. The first branch had lost a daughter, and all members of the direct lineage knew they had never given up searching for her. Austin felt especially guilty about this sister, wishing he could offer his heart to treat her well. If the first branch found out that he had nearly forced himself on their daughter, he would be driven out of the Gill family. And with his current state, where would he live?
"Austin, don't be anxious. I was just about to tell you about this... I had forgotten because of the pain, right?"
Austin released his collar. "Did you find our sister?"
Jackson nodded. "Yes, I have some leads. I brought this jade piece to show you first..."
"This jade is my sister's. Where did you get it?"
Jackson coughed. "From a black market shop. I'm guessing your sister couldn't make ends meet and sold it. Alas!"
Austin was stunned, then his eyebrows furrowed. "My sister is living in difficult circumstances? Tell me the shop owner's address. I'll go find them! No matter what, we must find my sister!"
Jackson cast his eyes down. "Okay, don't get agitated. I've already sent someone to look into it, but this piece has changed hands several times, and there are still no leads. Clance is also quite big — searching for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack..."
Austin calmed down slowly, his eyes reddening. "Right, I can't be impatient. As long as we can find my sister, that's all that matters." They had searched for fifteen years with no news. Seeing this jade made him panic — it felt as if his sister was right by his side, yet he hadn't recognized her.
He patted Jackson on the shoulder. "This jade is too important to our family. I'll give you credit for this! Rest assured, I'll definitely stand up for you in this matter! I'll go home right now and have my mother visit the Freeman Sect again tomorrow!"
"Good, thank you, Austin."
After Austin left, Jackson's face darkened.
At Matias's residence, Keira was watching the anxious Nara, who gestured at her chest, desperate to communicate. Keira didn't understand sign language, so Nara picked up a pen and paper, writing: *He snatched away my pendant!*
Keira frowned. "Don't worry, I'll definitely help you get it back."
Nara nodded, then looked conflicted and wrote: *Will it cause you trouble?*
Keira patted her shoulder. "It was he who took your things — how could it bring me trouble? Don't worry." She told Matias and Nara to rest and not worry about the Freeman Sect, then returned to the villa with Lewis.
The next day, Keira woke to a call from James. "Sister, that Gill family really is a persistent thorn! Yesterday Austin came knocking, and today Jackson was carried over, insisting that you hit him. They're hell-bent on smearing your name!"
"It seems like I did hit him," Keira cut him off.
James was taken aback. "It was really you who hit him?"
"Yes." Keira turned over and was startled to see Lewis's face staring at her — she didn't know how long he had been awake.
"But sister, even though Jackson and Austin are indeed annoying, couldn't you have told me before hitting someone? I could have gone to hit him for you, and then you wouldn't be in trouble! Why do you always take action yourself?"
"I'll definitely call you next time," Keira said. "I just couldn't hold back this time."
James said, "Master said not to come to the Freeman Sect. Just stay at home, and he'll go ask the Sect Leader to step in. But this time it may be more difficult because Jackson's injuries seem pretty serious..."
"I'll be there," Keira said, getting up.
"What are you coming for? Don't come..."
"Yesterday, Jackson snatched something from Nara. Since I don't know which hospital he's in, and since he's going to the Freeman Sect today, I'll go get it back."
James was speechless. He tugged at the corner of his mouth. Kate asked him, "How is it? Did you tell her to hide at the Olsen family for a few days?"
James said, "My sister said she's on her way now."
Kate was dumbfounded. Chris immediately turned grim. "She's being ridiculous! Does she really think this can be glossed over like the incident with Austin? Although Austin is of the direct lineage, he didn't suffer any fatal wounds, so Lady Gill let her off. But with Jackson, it's tantamount to causing disability — the severity is completely different! Legally, the first is a fight, the second is causing disability, which carries different sentences!"
In the Freeman Sect, the rules were even harsher. Beating a senior member could lead to expulsion. But beating one to the point of disability meant the perpetrator would suffer the same injuries before being expelled.
James was frantic. "What should we do? The Freeman Sect can't possibly expel my sister, can they?"
Chris said, "Call her and tell her not to come at all costs. Have your third uncle go to the Gill family to apologize and get this matter settled..."
"Apologize for what?! There's no way she will apologize!" Trevor's resounding voice came from outside, and he strode in.
Several people looked toward him and saluted. "Master."
Trevor waved his hand dismissively and walked to the head seat. Today, he had his usual imposing demeanor restored — the swelling in his eyes had subsided, and the allergic reaction on his face had healed.
Chris said, "Master Freeman, did you just say she wouldn't apologize? Are you referring to Uncle Olsen? Although it's true Uncle Olsen has never lowered his head to anyone, this matter did start with Keera making the first move..."
Trevor scoffed. "The appearance of such an unworthy man within the Freeman Sect is the result of our own oversight. He's been causing trouble outside, and any disciple of the Freeman Sect should have intervened!"
Chris could only smile wryly. "Master Freeman, what you're saying makes sense, but isn't there an issue with their statuses? Jackson was causing trouble outside, but she should have reported it to the sect instead of taking the law into her own hands. Otherwise, doesn't that render our Disciplinary Hall meaningless?"
"Isn't it meaningless now?" Trevor retorted.
Chris, confused by why Trevor had been pleading with Lady Gill yesterday but was so assertive today, coughed and said, "No, that's not it, Master Freeman. The crux of the matter is that Keera didn't have the status to strike a fellow sect member."
Trevor scoffed. "Who says she doesn't?"
Chris was stunned. "What status does she have?"
Just then, a voice came from outside. "Master Freeman, Second Uncle, there are visitors!"
"Who is it?"
"Uncle Olsen from the Olsen family. We have already opened the main gate and personally ushered him in."
Upon hearing that Uncle Olsen had arrived, Trevor and Chris immediately exchanged glances and hurried out the door. They saw rows of black vehicles driving into the yard of the Freeman Sect — the impressive aura made it clear the visitor had ill intentions.
Soon, Uncle Olsen's car stopped in front of them. His assistant stepped out and opened the door for him. Inside, Uncle Olsen glanced coldly at Trevor and Chris before stepping out with authority.
Trevor stepped forward. "Uncle Olsen, to what do we owe this honor?"
Uncle Olsen sneered. "I've heard that my daughter has suffered a lot of grievances here at the Freeman Sect — that someone named Jackson has been bullying her day after day. So today, I've come to seek justice."
Chris was speechless. Wasn't Jackson the victim here? Why did it seem like Keera was being portrayed as the victim?!
Unable to hold back, he addressed Uncle Olsen directly. "Uncle Olsen, actually, your timing is perfect. Just take Keera home and hide her away. Once the Gill family's anger subsides, you can let her come out again..."
Uncle Olsen sneered. "My daughter has done nothing wrong. Why should she hide?"
Chris looked toward Trevor, only to hear him nod and say, "Exactly, why should she hide?"
"Because she has injured a direct descendant of the Gill family!" At that moment, Lady Gill came striding over, seething with anger. Her car was parked outside, and following her, several bodyguards carried a stretcher, striding to the front. On that stretcher, Jackson lay covered with a quilt, propped up at the thigh to keep it from touching the wound. His face was ashen, his eyes full of a sinister glint.
"Aunt, you must stand up for me!" Jackson cried.
Lady Gill turned to Uncle Olsen. "Sam, your daughter has beaten up my nephew. You must give us an explanation for this!"
Uncle Olsen spread his hands. "Your nephew often bullies my daughter at the Freeman Sect. Shouldn't you also give me an explanation for that?"
"Stop making excuses here!" Lady Gill rebuked.
"Making excuses? Everyone in the Freeman Sect's Outer Sect Disciples knows that Jackson bullied my daughter. Should I question them one by one?"
"Even so, that doesn't justify resorting to violence!" Lady Gill retorted.
"So your nephew is allowed to bully others, but my daughter isn't allowed to defend herself? What kind of logic is that?" Uncle Olsen sneered.
"As far as I'm aware, he didn't lay a hand on your daughter yesterday, did he?" Lady Gill scoffed.
"Exactly — he's only a piece of trash that bullies the weak. Where would he dare to touch my daughter now? He was bullying another child, and my daughter couldn't stand by — that's why she intervened! Lady Gill, if you want to take this to court, then go ahead and call the police! Let's see how they handle it when they arrive!"
Lady Gill choked up. At the end of the day, Jackson had started it by bullying others and got beaten. If the police came, after everything was cleared up, Keira would at most be deemed to have exercised excessive self-defense, and the Olsen family would just have to pay medical expenses.
Indignant, Lady Gill looked at Trevor. "Master Freeman, what do you have to say?!"
Before Trevor could speak, Lady Gill sneered, "Keera did nothing wrong in the eyes of outsiders, but what about the rules of the Freeman Sect? I let go of the incident with my son being beaten yesterday! But today's situation with Jackson is more than just a beating — he's been crippled! Who knows how he's going to live in the future! She absolutely cannot be let off!"
