Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 83: Old Friend of "My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire Reviews". Oh my, this chapter is a rollercoaster of emotions—old wounds, bitter grudges, and a murder accusation that grows more tangled by the moment. Let’s dive right in and see what happens when Keira faces a ghost from her past.
---
Keira’s heart leaped up into her throat the moment she heard the police officer’s words. Hope flickered inside her—maybe, just maybe, there was evidence that could prove her innocence. She quickened her steps toward him, straining to catch every syllable.
But before she could hear more, a hand shot out from beside the officer and roughly slammed down the pause button. A cold, sharp voice sliced through the air. “The case is unsolved, and no evidence can be revealed in front of the suspect! Have you learned nothing from the police academy?!”
The poor officer winced, clearing his throat apologetically. “I’m sorry, Dr. Sims. I shouldn’t have done that.”
The woman who scolded him was a female forensic doctor. Her expression was stern, her eyes carrying the weight of a nation’s peace and security. She spoke with chilling finality: “No more mistakes.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Only then did the forensic doctor turn her gaze toward Keira. Her eyebrows knitted together slightly, as if she recognized her—but she said nothing. She simply pulled on her gloves and carried her toolbox toward the corpse.
Keira stood frozen, stunned. She hadn’t expected to see *her* here.
That woman was Holly Sims—Keira’s middle school classmate and her very first female friend. Holly’s family had been forensic doctors for generations. Even back in middle school, she had already drawn out her life plan with clear, unwavering strokes. She used to say, with the purest conviction, that she was born to uphold justice in this world.
Those naive, idealistic words of childhood had become her lifelong mission.
Years later, she attended vocational school in her chosen field and, at such a young age, had become a respected forensic doctor.
But… Keira’s heart sank.
Holly had some deep-seated misunderstandings about Keira. And judging by the coldness in her actions today, those grudges had not faded with time. Keira sighed silently. The rift between them was as raw as ever.
A few minutes later, Dr. Sims finished her preliminary examination of the body. She straightened up, her voice steady and professional. “The victim died instantly from a penetrating wound. There are signs of blunt force trauma to the chest. The time of death should be…” She checked her watch. “Between thirty to thirty-five minutes ago.”
The police officer quickly added, “We received the emergency call exactly thirty minutes ago. So the victim died just as Miss Olsen entered.”
He turned toward Keira, his tone now accusatory. “At present, all evidence points to you, Miss Olsen. As for the voice you mentioned earlier, it could be that the heavy fall of the victim drowned out his cries. You just didn’t hear it. Besides, there is a witness who proved that the victim did speak before you entered the room. You are now the primary murder suspect. Please come with us to the police station for further investigation.”
Keira glanced at Holly, who stood there watching her with cold, assessing eyes. But she didn’t resist. “Okay.”
Seeing her compliance, the officer stepped forward to escort her downstairs.
But then Holly scoffed loudly. “Is a murder suspect not supposed to be handcuffed to prevent escape? Don’t you even have basic police training?”
The officer was taken aback, a bitter smile tugging at his lips. The woman was being cooperative. Even if she really had killed someone, it could have been excessive self-defense—not premeditated. Handcuffs weren’t strictly necessary. But he didn’t argue with Dr. Sims. It was clear she had it out for this suspect. So instead, he shot Keira an apologetic look.
Lewis, standing beside them, stepped forward immediately, ready to speak on her behalf. But Keira subtly shook her head at him. Then, without a word, she extended her wrists.
The cold metal clicked around her hands.
Only then did the officer begin to escort her down the stairs.
Lewis followed close behind. “I’ll hire a lawyer for you immediately. Until the lawyer arrives, you have the right to remain silent.”
Keira nodded. “Just tell Grandma I’m going home for a couple of days.”
“Understood.”
When they reached the ground floor, Keira climbed into the police car. But she immediately felt a heavy presence beside her. She turned her head—and there was Holly, instead of the officer.
As the car started, Keira looked straight ahead and asked calmly, “How have you been these years?”
Holly’s eyes were icy, her voice sharp. “I’ve been doing very well. Sorry to disappoint you.”
Keira was taken aback, then hesitated. “Back then, I—”
“Shut up!” Holly snapped. “You’re a liar. I don’t believe a single word you say.”
Keira fell silent. She heaved a quiet sigh.
But Holly pressed on, her tone dripping with suspicion. “That man back there—is he your boyfriend?”
Keira didn’t want to lie. “He’s my husband. Legally speaking.”
Holly’s eyes widened in surprise. “You’re married?”
Keira felt a pang of guilt. “My situation with him is a bit complicated. We…”
Holly turned her face away sharply. “You did the right thing. Even if you had sent me an invitation, I wouldn’t have attended!”
Keira understood then. Holly thought she had gotten married without telling her. The hurt and anger in her voice stemmed from that betrayal. Keira shook her head, a bitter smile forming on her lips. She was about to explain when Holly’s voice cut through again.
“So, he’s the boy you wanted to marry back then?”
Keira froze.
After a long, heavy pause, she said in a low voice, “… No.”
Holly sneered. “You do get tired of the old and welcome the new. You can even abandon that boy, so how could you possibly care about other friends?”
Keira tried once more. “Actually, back then…”
“I said shut up!” Holly’s face flushed with anger. “Don’t think that by bringing up our past friendship, I will help you! I have long seen your true colors. You’re nothing but a complete fraud!”
Keira had no words left.
She didn’t say anything else.
But Holly turned to look at her again, her voice lowering. “Stop thinking about all that messy stuff. You should focus on your case. Your case is very complicated. All the current evidence points to you. The traces on the body also point to you. And I won’t help you conceal anything…” She paused, her eyes narrowing. “Aren’t you the least bit worried?”
Keira smiled, and there was a surprising confidence in it. “Because you are here, I believe I’ll be proven innocent. You once said that you wanted to uphold the justice of the world. You’ll never let anyone be wronged under your watch, nor allow any criminal to escape.”
Holly was momentarily stunned. Perhaps it was the shock of hearing Keira express such unwavering faith in her, or perhaps she was reminded of her own fiery, idealistic words from the past. Her ears turned a little red.
But then she grumbled, “Don’t sweet-talk me. I do not trust a single word you say. Keira, if you are the killer, I’ll make sure justice is served.”
The car soon arrived at the police station.
Keira was suspected of murder and temporarily detained. Holly personally escorted her to the detention center and placed her in a single cell.
She stood outside the cell, looking steadily at Keira. “Are you sure you didn’t kill him?”
“Yes.”
Holly frowned. “Then what about the voice you heard?”
Keira replied, “Could it be a recording on the phone? Wasn’t his phone found? Could you please check?”
Holly scoffed. “The phone is at the police station. It won’t be lost. It’s important evidence.”
She paused, then stared hard at Keira. “You brought up that phone. Don’t you want to know what message he left for you?”
Keira’s eyes lit up. “Will you tell me?”
“Of course.”
Holly turned and walked away, leaving Keira alone in the cold cell, her mind spinning with questions and a flicker of desperate hope.

**Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter hit me right in the heart. The way Keira and Holly’s past is woven into the present tension is so poignant. You can feel the weight of old wounds and unspoken words. Holly is clearly struggling with her own feelings—she’s angry, hurt, but maybe, deep down, still clinging to that loyalty she once had. The cliffhanger about the message on the phone is brilliant. I can’t wait to see what it reveals. For writing, emotion, and tension, this chapter deserves solid praise.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars**
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
I think Holly is going to secretly help Keira, but she’ll never admit it. She’ll probably check the phone’s recordings and find something that contradicts the current evidence. Maybe the victim really did leave a message, and it will point to someone else—perhaps someone close to Keira or even a figure from the criminal underworld. Lewis will also be working behind the scenes to get the best lawyer. The next chapter might show us the first cracks in the case against Keira.
