As soon as these words were said, the room fell silent.
Isla and Jake both looked over at Lewis. The whole point of calling him over was to see Keira's husband and put them on the spot.
But now, was Lewis actually going to stand up for Keira?
Isla was momentarily at a loss for words.
Erin, on the other hand, had nothing to lose and blurted out, "Mr. Horton knows her husband? With the way he's dressed, could he be anything other than a construction worker? Even if he's not a laborer, at best, he could be a contractor, right?"
These days, even contractors could make a lot of money.
But in Erin's mouth, it seemed like even this job was somewhat contemptible.
Lewis's gaze darkened, and just as he was about to speak, someone knocked on the door, and a man in a suit walked in. "Sorry to intrude."
Seeing him, someone in the crowd immediately exclaimed, "Mr. Hill?"
