# Chapter 781: The Cancer Lie That Exploded in the Banquet Hall
Hello everyone, it’s me again! How are you all doing? Today, I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 781 of *My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire Reviews*. Trust me, this chapter is one big, dramatic storm in a champagne glass — and by the end, the last twist will leave you gasping.
The banquet hall was already buzzing with tension, but the moment Selena opened her mouth, the entire room went dead silent. It was as if someone had pressed the pause button on the world. Every eye turned to her in disbelief. Even Keira — the very woman Selena was trying to destroy — seemed caught completely off guard. And then, Selena dropped the bomb that changed everything.
"Gavin, you have cancer? When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?" Ellie’s voice cracked as tears spilled down her cheeks. Her tears were even more violent than the ones she had shed when she learned of Darien’s betrayal. She wobbled, heartbroken, trembling with disbelief. "How could this happen...?"
Gavin wanted to tell her it was all a lie. He really wanted to. But before he could even muster a word, his body betrayed him. He bent over and vomited again. The peanut allergy had already been treated, and honestly, he was feeling much better. His throat was clearing, the itching was fading, and the worst had passed. But Selena seized the moment perfectly.
"He was just diagnosed recently," Selena declared, her voice thick with false grief. She grabbed Ryan’s arm, her fingers digging in desperately. "Babe, you can’t leave me! What am I supposed to do if something happens to you? Ryan, you have to stand up for him! You have to!"
Ryan shot her a cold look, then glanced at Keira with a calm that could freeze fire. "Stand up for him against what?"
Selena’s tears flowed faster, each sob more theatrical than the last. "They knew about Gavin’s condition! My uncle and aunt must have poisoned him on purpose! They’re still mad because you wouldn’t cooperate with them, so they’re taking their revenge on Gavin! My poor husband... It’s all my fault!" She wailed, leaning against Gavin as if she were about to collapse.
But then, something strange happened. Selena felt her own stomach churn. A wave of nausea rolled through her. She wanted to vomit too. What was wrong with her today? Why was her body acting up at the worst possible moment? But Selena gritted her teeth, swallowed the bile, and pressed on. Her eyes remained locked on Keira, sharp as daggers. She wanted one thing and one thing only: total war between the Cobb and Horton families.
In her mind, she had it all figured out. Once Gavin was gone, Ryan would still stand behind her, and she could remain in the Cobb family’s spotlight. She would become the tragic widow everyone pitied, and no one would ever question her motives. Her tears fell harder just thinking about her perfect plan.
Ellie turned to Keira, concern and confusion mixing in her voice. "Keira, what’s going on? Why was there something in the soup?"
Keira sighed deeply. "It wasn’t me. That kind of thing isn’t something anyone would just keep lying around the house. It’s not like it’s common kitchen seasoning."
Ellie nodded quickly, her faith unshaken. "You’re right. I don’t believe you’d do this."
But Selena wasn’t done. She cut in, pointing her trembling finger directly at Keira. "Ellie, you can’t believe her! If it wasn’t her, then who else could it be? This is the Horton house! Uncle Lewis, ever since you married this woman, everything has fallen apart! Before she set foot in this house, we were one big happy family. Now? Look at us! Look at the chaos she’s caused!"
Lewis let out a cold, humorless laugh. "Get along well? Are you blind, Selena, or just delusional? Since when have we ever been harmonious? Was it all the times I backed down and let the rest of the family walk all over me? Is that your version of peace?"
Selena was momentarily stunned, but she quickly regrouped. "But we’re family, Uncle Lewis! Family ties can’t be broken! You used to let things slide before, so why not now?"
Lewis looked at her like she was speaking another language. He didn’t even bother to argue. There was no point. Some people were so lost in their own schemes that they could not see the truth even when it was slapping them in the face.
Seeing she wasn’t winning Lewis over, Selena turned back to Ryan and cried even harder. "Ryan, please! You have to fight for Gavin! He can’t die without anyone being held accountable! Please!"
At that moment, Gavin finally managed to straighten up. He wiped his mouth, glanced at Selena, and gave her a look that was equal parts confusion and pity. "Selena, I’m fine..."
"How can you say you’re fine?" Selena sobbed, louder than ever. "You could have lived for a few more months, but now because of this, you might not even survive the night! This poison might be harmless to normal people, but to someone with cancer, it’s fatal! They did this on purpose—to frame me, to kill you, to cut me off from the Cobb family! Oh, Gavin, my poor Gavin..."
Gavin blinked.
He was literally standing there, feeling better by the second. The antihistamines were doing their job. The awful itching was gone. There was no lump in his throat anymore. And yet, here was his own wife, mourning him like he was already in a coffin. He felt unbearably awkward. He wasn’t dead yet! Was she already planning the eulogy?
After a long, strange pause, Gavin finally took a breath and said gently, "Selena, I’m really okay."
"How can you be okay?" Selena insisted, wiping her fake tears with dramatic flair. "Stop trying to comfort me! I’ve seen your hospital report! Don’t worry about me. I won’t blame you for dragging me down. If you die, I won’t go on living either! The Cobb family doesn’t want me, and the Horton family is trying to kill me. What am I supposed to do alone?"
Gavin stared at her, completely stunned. He tried again. "Stop crying. I’m really okay."
But Selena kept wailing, tears streaming down her face with impressive speed. She was just about to escalate even further when Gavin cut in sharply.
"I don’t have cancer."
Selena froze. Mid-sob. "That can’t be true! I saw the report!"
Gavin took a long, deep breath. He looked at her with something that felt almost like pity, then lowered his voice into the devastating truth that silenced the whole hall once more.
"The person with cancer... is you."
The air in the banquet hall turned ice-cold, and Selena’s face went white as the reality of her own lie crashed down on her.
## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Okay, I have to pause here because my jaw literally dropped! This chapter was deliciously dramatic. Watching Selena spin her web of lies, performing the grieving wife with full theatrical energy, was both infuriating and fascinating. But the moment Gavin calmly said, "The person with cancer... is you," I felt pure poetic justice. That twist was so sharp, so perfectly timed, that I couldn't stop rereading it. Selena’s entire scheme is about to explode in her own face, and I am absolutely here for it. The tension, the characters’ reactions, and that devastating final reveal all make this chapter an incredibly satisfying ride.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
I predict that the next chapter will be an absolute emotional earthquake. Selena will likely panic, deny everything, and demand to see the proof — only to have the truth thrown back at her in front of everyone. Gavin might publicly expose her lies about his cancer and reveal her hidden motives, leading to her total collapse. Keira will finally be vindicated, and Selena’s carefully constructed web of manipulation will shatter into a thousand pieces.
