My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

The sunshine in the yard was just right.”
In the midday hours, Keira observed Old Mrs. Horton's yard from a distance,
unsure of what Lewis was
planning.
Upon hearing her question, Lewis smiled. “Of course,
I'm at ease.”
Keira was taken aback.
Lewis then lowered his gaze. “Selena is so concerned about Great-grandma’s
illness because of her shares, so she'll definitely see to it that Great-grandma
lives!”
Keira had a moment of realization upon hearing this.
Oliver had just said that old Mrs. Horton had made a will before, stating that if
she were to pass away, her shares would be transferred to Lewis. Therefore,
before old Mrs. Horton changed her will, the first branch of the family would for
sure want the old lady
to live on!
No wonder Lewis was so confident in them.
Keira sighed lightly. She had thought that Nathan,

Oliver, and Selena really cared about the old lady, but, in the end, everything was
still driven by self-interest.
Lewis continued. “As for Mr. Lee, I had Tom investigate him long ago; he's
genuinely an employee of the Clance Research Institute, and indeed it was the
Cobb family in Clance who found this connection for Selena. We've confirmed
the medicine he brought is real. If they can actually save grandmother, what's a
few mocking words? It doesn’t matter.”
Keira frowned. “But this is too passive!”
She didn't like the feeling of her fate being controlled by others...
Tom sighed. “There's no helping it. We've tried all means to contact Nora, but the
person is too enigmatic, and her whereabouts are unknown to this day. Corey
Mills from the Clance Research Institute has made it clear he won't make
exceptions; he'll rigorously select trial subjects based on patients’ conditions.
Boss thought of various ways to pressure him, but he wouldn't relent...”
Saying this, Tom glanced at Lewis and coughed.
For old Mrs. Horton's sake, Lewis almost resorted to

using extreme measures like kidnapping to acquire the medication. But before
any action could be taken, Selena made a breakthrough.
However, Tom wouldn't tell Keira about this, so as to prevent her from knowing
the boss's involvement in the grey areas and becoming fearful.
Still, Keira curiously asked, “How did this Mr. Lee come by the medicine?”
Tom stroked his chin. “I guess he stole it.”
Keira couldn't believe her ears.
She was shocked!
Tom continued. “Actually, we've already ascertained that Mr. Lee secretly brought
the medicine out behind Corey Mills’ back, claiming it was Nora who personally
chose the trial subjects. He could manipulate the situation, buying medicine
designated for a patient at a high price — after all, the Cobb Family in Clance isn't
short on cash! That Nora, supposedly a tech geek with little business acumen,
probably won't even know
about this in the end...”
Keira was shocked.

Alright, she understood now!
Did they not supervise those at the research institute closely enough?
The corner of her mouth twitching, she looked at Lewis. “Aren't you afraid that
once Grandma wakes up, they won't let you in, and they'll coax her into changing
her will?"
“I don't care about those shares,” he said.
Lewis glanced at her. “Besides, do you really think Grandma is that easily
fooled?”
Keira was perplexed.
The old lady immediately clung to Keira’s arm and hazily followed her home the
moment she saw her. Wasn't she easy to cheat?
She was about to smirk when a sudden realization
struck her...
The little old lady had run away from home twice to look for Keira, and although
her mind was befuddled each time, she indeed found the place without being
deceived by anyone along the way!
Lewis said indifferently. “The Horton Group was

founded by Grandma. Do you really think she's
foolish?”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
As she was inwardly grumbling about something, she saw Lewis turn on his
phone and open a surveillance app, and the situation inside old Mrs. Horton's
bedroom was transmitted in full clarity onto his phone
screen.
Lewis said, “After Oliver said that the illegitimate daughter would bring a
researcher with her, I installed
this hidden camera in Grandma's room.”
Keira was speechless.
That was quite a plan!
Before she could say anything, she saw movement in
the camera feed.
Selena had been at the door all along, watching Lewis
and Keira leave before she turned back to close the door with a smile at Mr. Lee.
“Thank you, Lee.”
“Hey, you're about to marry my cousin, so we're family. No need for formalities.”
Mr. Lee and Selena approached old Mrs. Horton,

calling softly, “Great-grandma? Great-grandma...”
Old Mrs. Horton opened her eyes groggily.
She still looked somewhat confused as she turned to
Selena, with a hesitant expression in her eyes. “Who
are you?”
Her voice was very clear!
That meant the miracle drug was really effective!
“Great-grandma, I'm Selena. My father is Oliver from the first branch of the
family, your grandson. Do you
remember?”
Old Mrs. Horton immediately realized. “Oh, you are the illegitimate daughter!”
Selena was speechless.
Old Mrs. Horton looked around and asked, “Why are you here?”

Old Mrs. Horton hesitated slightly. “Would I give away shares? I don’t seem to
remember that?"
Selena didn’t know what to say.
The confusion on old Mrs. Horton's face intensified.

Selena was dumbfounded.
“Oh dear, why am I feeling a bit sleepy? Dear child, don’t disturb me. Let me rest
a bit more..."
Watching Selena’s speechless expression on the phone, Keira couldn't help but
laugh.
The old lady really knew how to act!
Just as she was thinking about this, the butler ran over, panting. “Mr. Horton,
someone is knocking at the door Uncle Olsen is here for a visit!”
Upon hearing this, Lewis glanced at Keira and then said promptly, “Please let him
in.”
