My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

208 Awake
Keira’s eyes were cold as she spoke, making Oliver pause for a moment.
Lewis, however, looked directly at her and asked, “Keira, do you mean to say that
they agreed?”
Just as Keira was about to nod, Oliver scoffed. “What are you thinking? I've had
someone look into this matter a long time ago! The selection of volunteer patients
in Clance this time has been personally overseen by Nora. I've heard that the
selection was extremely impartial, only including patients who meet the criteria
for their clinical trial. No matter how
strong one’s connections are, others have no chance. of getting a spot!”
After saying this and without waiting for Keira to speak, he abruptly changed the
subject. “However, Selena got one!”
Keira was slightly taken aback when she heard this.
She hadn't even received the list from Clance yet, so
how could someone have already secured a spot?

Moreover, who was this Selena?
Just as she was pondering this, Nathan's eyes lit up. “Oliver, is that true?”
Oliver smiled. “Dad, would I lie to you? Selena has been studying in Clance all
along, just to help me expand our Clance connections. She has performed
outstandingly at university and even got a boyfriend! Ever since she learned
about Grandma's illness, she has been very concerned about her
great-grandmother, so she begged her boyfriend to try every means to secure
this spot!”
“Great! That's fantastic!” Nathan rejoiced. “Selena is truly your good daughter!
When you first brought her home, I knew she was intelligent, and now she has
indeed proven her capabilities!”
Oliver laughed. “Isn't it natural for her to help the family? Selena has always been
grateful for the nurturing she received from the Horton family.”
He glanced at the time and continued. “Selena will arrive tomorrow. She told me
that she would bring her boyfriend this time, and they plan to get engaged. Dad,
her boyfriend is from the Cobb family, one of the five

major families of Clan! If our two families can successfully form a marital alliance,
we won't have to fear the Davis family’s suppression any longer!”
Upon hearing the words “Davis family,” Lewis's expression grew even colder
Keira noticed his reaction and, considering what she had observed since coming
to the Horton family,
turned to look at Jake and saw his face had turned
ashen.
It seemed that this Selena was indeed Oliver's illegitimate daughter; she
wondered if she was Jake's older or younger sister.
As she was thinking, Nathan, thrilled, said, “What? That's excellent! Selena has
lived up to our
expectations. When she wanted to study in Clance, I
said that she wasn’t meant for a mundane life! If she
could form a marriage alliance with the Cobb family, we must not treat her
unfairly! When Selena returns to
Oceanion this time, let her stay at our home!”
Upon hearing this, Melissa immediately shrieked, “Dad! How can an illegitimate
daughter live in our house?!”
Nathan glanced at her without a word.

But Oliver immediately glared at her. “What illegitimate daughter? Watch your
tone! That's Jake's
sister! She's going to get married from the Horton family when Horton and Cobb's
marital alliance is formed! That's the right thing to do!”
Melissa's eyes teared up. “But she...”
“Shut up!” Oliver yelled, silencing Melissa immediately.
Only then did Oliver turn to look at Jake and indirectly criticized him. “So what if
Selena is an illegitimate daughter? Who among you can compare to her
contributions to the Horton family? You all just focus on romantic affairs; with this
attitude, how can you grow and strengthen the Horton business? If you lack the
ability and can't let go of your hang-ups, then step aside. Don't be a hindrance..
These words seemed to be targeting Jake, yet every word was a pointed
accusation against Lewis.
Lewis had been keeping his distance from everyone in Clance because of the
Davis family matter.
However, Lewis's mother, resentful of Nathan's deception in marriage, expressly
forbade any association with people related to the Davis family

from any dealings with the Horton family.
Privately, people said that if only Lewis would humble himself and ask for
forgiveness, his mother, despite her resentment toward Nathan, wouldn't possibly
be
so heartless toward her own son!
But with Lewis's character, how could he possibly go to
Clance to find her?
And so, the business between the Horton family and Clance has been at a
standstill for all these years...
Some veterans in the Horton family and company who knew the inside story
complained about Lewis, feeling that he was the one holding back the Horton's
Clance
sector.
Yet Keira found it laughable.
It was clearly Nathan who committed the mistake because he was the one who
deceived in marriage. Why should he not go to Clance to seek forgiveness from
the Davis family? Instead, why should they force Lewis to go?
Considering the fact that Lewis's mother had a
C-section when she was seven months pregnant and
left him at the Horton family’s doorsten. indifferent to

whether he lived or died, how could he possibly go and ask her for anything?
Oliver was simply beyond words and so
double-standard!
Lewis couldn't be bothered to argue these points, but Keira felt heartbroken and
retorted. “Mr. Horton... Even if Lewis hasn't proactively contacted Clance, hasn't
he managed the Horton family very well? As long as the Horton family becomes
self-reliant with -strong technology, we don’t need to bow to anyone, and others
will come to us. Didn't the Allen family approach us to sign a contract? Isn't that
the best proof? Seeking reconciliation by bowing down will only be looked down
upon! The Horton family is, after all, the wealthiest in Oceanion, do we have no
pride?”
Lewis was slightly taken aback and looked at her in
surprise.
Over the years, the girl must have been misunderstood by many, hence her
attitude in always speaking her -mind.
But now she had spoken all this for him, making him lower his gaze, and a faint
smile appeared at the

Upon hearing this, Keira sneered, about to retort, when her phone rang again.
She frowned and looked at her phone, only to find that
it was Mrs. Olsen calling!
Keira’s pupils contracted, and she immediately picked it up. Mrs. Olsen's weak
voice came through. “Keira,
I'm awake...”
Keira's eyes reddened as tears instantly began to fall, and she said straight
away, “I'm coming back now...”
She had a lot she wanted to tell Mrs. Olsen.
She also wanted to ask Mrs. Olsen who her father
really was...
