My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Nathan immediately waved his hand. “How is that possible? Your shares are
supposed to go to the second branch of the family in the future.”
Now, Mr. Horton finally understood and looked toward
old Mrs. Horton.
Nathan decided to speak frankly. “My mom had promised before that when the
younger generation in the family gets married, they would all receive shares...
When Jake got married, his wife wasn't good to my mom, so she didn’t give any
shares. Now Selena is going to marry into the Cobb family, which is a big deal for
our family. Mom, how much are you planning to give Selena?”
The question was raised in a way that made it hard for anyone to refute!
Old Mrs. Horton tensed her jaw and furrowed her
brow.
After Lewis had cheated Nathan out of two percent of his shares last time, the
shares he controlled amounted to fifty-three percent.

If she gave away more than three percent of the shares, it was likely that Lewis
would face an uncontrollable situation in the company.
As old Mrs. Horton agonized over what to do, Lewis said, “Two percent, I think.”
It was as if he was giving back the two percent that Nathan had given him before!
However, as soon as he said this, Nathan sneered. “Lewis, in your heart, is your
grandmothers life only worth two percent?”
Lewis frowned.
Keira seized the moment to interject. “We are talking about the dowry Selena will
take with her when she gets married. What does that have to do with Grandma's
life? Is Selena helping Grandma find medicine just for shares? Can Grandma's
life be measured in shares?”
Nathan was at a loss for words.
Oliver glanced at her sharply, having previously
thought that Lewis's wife was someone who was more physical and didn't talk
much.

He didn’t expect her to be so sharp-tongued!
And to think the reserved Lewis ended up marrying
such a bride.
Enraged, he gave an annoyed look at Jake, who everyone seemed to have
forgotten about, and thought about how he had failed to be more discerning at
the time of his marriage. If he had managed to marry Keira, she would have been
a great asset to the first branch of the family by now!
After Nathan and Oliver were left speechless, Selena sighed. “Of course, that's
not what I meant. I heard that our great-grandmother’s illness had worsened, so I
pleaded with the Cobb family. It's just that...”
She sighed softly, appearing troubled as she spoke, “I'm not really after the family
shares, but in order to obtain this medicine, the Cobb family went to great
lengths, and Mr. Lee took a huge risk. In the
Cobb family was promised three percent of t
shares...”

spend money... So I took it upon myself to say that we, the Horton family, would
cover these shares...”
She looked anxiously at Oliver. “Dad, I know that the Horton family’s shares are
not mine to promise, but I was afraid that if we missed this opportunity, there
might be no medicine left, so...”
She lowered her head and let out a sigh.
Oliver immediately understood her meaning and said, “You did the right thing.
Since a promise has been made, we must give these shares. If this three percent
can’t come from the family, I'll provide it personally! It's the least I can do for my
grandmother!”
Nathan exclaimed angrily, “Nonsense! You already have so few shares! If you
give away three percent, how will you stand in the company in the future?”
He turned to old Mrs. Horton. “Mom, this share shop come from your side. I think
no one should have any objections.”
Old Mrs. Horton sneered.
The first branch was putting on an act; did they really think she couldn't see
through it?

It's understandable to pay for medicine, but who
would give away shares for it?
It was merely an excuse for the first branch to ask for
the shares!
Mr. Horton frowned and said, “Selena, who would use shares to buy medicine? If
you say this, not many will believe it, right?”
Selena immediately looked at Logan Lee, “Mr. Lee is right here, everyone can
ask him.”
Logan cleared his throat. “Mr. Horton, this was indeed my request. You might not
know that in Clance, there are just too many people who want to secure a spot
from this institute. Among them, there are nobles and tycoons; our director
couldn't afford to offend any of them, so scared that he shrank back and left the
selection of the spots to Nora personally!”
At this point, he smiled bitterly. “Nora is very mysterious, as I'm sure everyone
here knows.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They had all sought medicine for the old Mrs. Horton before, so of course, they
understood how difficult it

had met her in person and knew her identity.
But Corey was tight-lipped. No matter who inquired, he would not tell.
Nora was impartial and just, choosing the spots strictly based on the cases, with
no room for personal feelings.
Logan continued, “So this spot was actually secured by Dean Mills. I pleaded
with him to speak to Nora... In the end, Nora only said about wanting three
percent of the shares, hence the terms might seem a bit harsh.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Horton immediately believed it.
Money could make anything happen.
As for not securing a spot, it was simply because the money offered wasn't
enough!
Three percent of Horton Group's shares were worth several hundred million in
market value; even those
elites from Clance might not be willing to buy it.
To offer such an astronomically high price, probably only the Horton family in
Crera would buy it!
This won't affect the subsequent selection for spots
either.

Selena immediately said, “Aunt Keira, there are all sorts of unwritten rules in high
society. I was also taken aback when I heard these terms!”
Nathan sneered. “Coming from a petty family, what right do you have to hear
these things? If you don't understand anything, don't just jump into the
conversation!”
Lewis immediately objected. “My grandfather's
generation was also from a minor household, are you showing disrespect to
Grandpa as well?”

He looked at Keira. “If you don't belong to that level, then don’t embarrass
yourself here!”
Logan also smiled.
Keira then took out her phone. “What a coincidence. I just happen to know
Corey... Dean Mills. Let me make a phone call and ask!"
She dialed Corey's number.
