# Chapter 777: A Feast of Shadows
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 777 of **"My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire Reviews"** — a chapter that starts warm and lively, but quickly simmers with tension, old grudges, and a chilling secret that creeps into the heart of the Horton household. So grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let’s dive into this unforgettable gathering.
---
The Horton house had grown quiet in the old days. With Jake and his mother gone, only Keira, Lewis, and the ever-sparky Erin remained under that grand roof. Neither Keira nor Lewis were people of many words, but Erin? She was a whole firework display waiting to explode whenever Ellie came anywhere near. So when Keira decided to host the Cobb family, she knew she needed reinforcements. One quick call to James, and she thought that would be that.
But James, bless his heart, mentioned the gathering in the family group chat. Within minutes, every Olsen brother had chimed in, practically fighting over who would come first. And of course, Charles was at the top of the list — after all, wherever Erin was, there he’d be. Even Peter showed up, and he brought Jenkins along. As for Ellis and Mary? They stayed behind, and wisely so. Mary was heavily pregnant, and with the South family’s reputation still casting a long, shady shadow, Keira didn’t want to hand them a single excuse to cause trouble.
When the whole crew came rolling in, Ellie pouted. "Keera, with all these people here, are you even gonna have time to hang out with me?"
Keira arched an eyebrow and smirked. "They're family. They're here to help me entertain you!"
Ellie’s mood did a complete one-eighty. Her eyes lit up like a child’s on Christmas morning. "That's awesome!"
Meanwhile, Erin had already vanished, zipping over to Charles’s side like a magnet. She pressed a handful of pistachios into his palm and chattered away without a single pause. Ellie watched the scene unfold with something between curiosity and mischief.
"Is that Charles? Erin's boyfriend?" she asked.
Keira paused, then nodded. Charles seemed more than happy with the arrangement, and it really wasn’t her place to interfere.
Ellie scrunched her nose, a sly grin curling at her lips. "Hmph, if I were feeling mischievous, I'd totally try to steal Charles away from her. Let's see how long she keeps trying to steal you from me then!"
Keira blinked, utterly speechless. These rich girls truly operated on a whole different wavelength.
Before long, the house was brimming with laughter. The Olsen brothers were natural-born entertainers, and even the normally reserved Ryan found himself drawn into a game of cards with the lively crowd. Keira exchanged a glance with Lewis, a satisfied smile playing at her lips. Lewis chuckled softly in return. It felt like home — warm, loud, and full of the people they loved.
By the time Selena and Gavin returned from their little tour of the estate, the living room was buzzing with life. The men were locked in their card games, the women were sipping tea and enjoying each other's company. The atmosphere was cozy, welcoming — everything a family gathering should be.
But Selena? She stood at the edge of the room like a splinter in a perfectly polished floor. She shot a cold glance around and muttered under her breath, "Anyone who didn't know better would think this is the Olsen house, not the Horton's."
The room went silent. Her words were a needle, sharp and deliberate, bursting the warm bubble that had just been floating around the gathering. Everyone understood the jab — the passive-aggressive dig at how much of the Horton household seemed to belong to the Olsen family now. Gavin gently squeezed her hand, silently begging her to stop. Selena reluctantly dropped her gaze, but the damage was done.
Kate, as sharp as ever, was the first to break the silence. "Who's she?" she asked, casting a glance at Selena.
"She's Gavin's wife," Erin replied, then added with a hint of mischief in her voice, "Oh, and also, the former Horton bastard."
Kate raised an eyebrow, her expression unreadable. "A bastard? Really? You wouldn't know it from the way she carries herself. I thought she was the eldest daughter."
Selena’s face flushed a deep, embarrassed red. Kate had thrown her very words back at her, wrapping the insult in silk and handing it to her like a poison apple. Selena’s chest heaved with frustration. She turned to Gavin, her eyes watering, as if about to unleash a storm of words. But Gavin was quicker. He tugged her close and whispered, "Just let it go."
Selena bit her lip, lowered her head, and sulked in silence.
The tension was thick enough to choke on. Gavin, sensing the mood had soured, decided not to join the card players. Instead, he sat with Selena on a sofa, the two of them isolated from the rest of the group. Their very presence seemed to cast a strange, uncomfortable shadow over the room.
Keira and Lewis exchanged another glance. Neither of them was the kind to make a scene — and besides, with Selena’s illness hanging over her like a dark cloud, picking a fight would be pointless. There was no satisfaction in arguing with someone who had so little time left.
So Keira stood, offering a soft, graceful smile. "I think it's about time we eat. What do you all say?"
"Yes! Finally!" Erin was the first to leap up, practically vibrating with excitement. "I've been smelling the food from the kitchen for ages now!"
Ellie shot her a knowing look. "Please, you probably already snuck in and grabbed a bite, didn't you?"
"Me? Never!" Erin wiped her greasy lips with a napkin, nodding with a perfectly innocent expression. "I wouldn't dare!"
Ellie just stared at her in disbelief.
Everyone filed into the dining room, taking their seats around a grand table laden with a feast. Steam curled from the dishes, and the air was rich with the scent of herbs, roasted meats, and savory broths. It was the kind of meal that promised warmth and comfort — a perfect family dinner.
But Selena wasn’t looking at the food as something to enjoy. She was looking at it as something to use.
When no one was paying attention, she slipped into the kitchen. The staff were busy preparing the final touches, their backs turned, their focus elsewhere. Selena’s eyes locked onto a pot of creamy stew simmering gently on the stove. Her heart pounded, but her hand was steady. She checked over her shoulder, making sure no one was watching. Then, from the pocket of her dress, she pulled out a small packet of powder.
Without a flicker of hesitation, she sprinkled it into the pot, stirred it quickly, and stepped back. The powder dissolved into the cream like it had never been there.
In the dining room, laughter rang out, unaware of the dark secret now simmering in the stew. And Selena? She returned to her seat, her face calm, her secret hidden beneath a mask of wounded pride.
The feast was about to begin — and with it, a danger no one saw coming.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
Oh, what a chapter! I simply couldn't put it down. The way this chapter balances joyous family chaos with simmering tension is absolutely masterful. I loved the warmth of the Olsen brothers filling the house, Erin’s hilarious energy, and Keira’s quiet, amused authority. But then Selena’s bitterness and Kate’s razor-sharp comeback sent chills down my spine. The final scene, where she quietly poisons the stew while everyone laughs unaware, had my heart pounding. The suspense is unbearable! I also love how the chapter subtly reminds us that kindness can be met with venom, and that even the most beautiful gatherings can hide the darkest intentions. This is storytelling at its finest.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
I predict that the poisoned stew will cause chaos at dinner — someone may fall seriously ill, and the blame will be thrown around like a hot potato. But knowing Keira’s sharp instincts and the protective nature of the Olsen brothers, they’ll quickly trace the poison back to Selena. A confrontation is inevitable, and Gavin will be torn between defending his wife and facing the weight of her actions. The cliffhanger is set for an explosive showdown, and I can’t wait to see how Keira handles a betrayal that happens right under her roof — and right under her nose.
