My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

227 Slap in the Face
Logan's face changed drastically at the sight!
He immediately stepped forward, trying to snatch Keira's mobile phone.
Lewis stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and said sharply, “What do you think
you're doing?”
That's when the phone rang.
Keira turned on the speaker and before the other party could speak, she said,
“Dean Mills, Mr. Logan Lee said that you'd asked for three percent of the shares
for the medicine. Is that true?”
Corey immediately said, “Definitely not! Does our biotech company lack that little
stock? That's just ridiculous! Who is spreading such rumors out there?!”
Keira then looked at Logan.
Logan's face was ashen, and his anxious expression underwent a great change.
Others might not have recognized Corey's voice, but he did!

Keira said indifferently. “Alright, thanks for clarifying that for me.”
She hung up, and with a mocking smile, looked at Logan, “Do you have anything
else to say?”
Selena said, “Aunt Keira, was that Corey just now? He sounded quite polite
talking to you, but isn’t Dean Mills known for his bad temper?”
Oliver scoffed. “That definitely wasn't the real Dean Mills, it was such a joke. Who
knows who she got to play along and pretend to be Corey over the phone?”
“Is that so?"
Keira looked at Logan indifferently. “Others may not recognize Dean Mills's voice,
but you should, right?”
Logan was still stubborn. “The voice did sound a bit like him, but there are many
scams nowadays, I've heard that they can fake not only appearances bu
voices...”
“Should I make another call to Dean Mills? Ask him prove his identity?!"
Keira took out her phone again.
Logan was terrified and immediately waved his hand.

“That won't be necessary. Dean Mills’s voice is very distinctive, that was indeed
Dean Mills just now!”
Everyone looked at him.
After thinking for a moment, Logan said, “Alright, I admit that the three percent of
the shares wasn't for
Nora.”
He and Selena locked eyes before he bluntly said, “It was for me!”
At this statement, everyone was startled.
Oliver asked, “What?”
Selena said, “Logan, what are you talking about? Is there some
misunderstanding here?”
Logan said, “There’s no misunderstanding; it was me who wanted it! Because...
stole the drug!”
As soon as these words were said, everyone wa
shocked.
But Logan looked at Keira and said, “You're not a scientific researcher and don’t
know anything abo our industry. Being able to work under Nora at the Clance
Research Institute is everyone’s dream. I mad a lot of effort to get into this
institute. However, I

couldn't bear to refuse the requests of my cousin and Miss Selena, especially
since it involved old Mrs. Horton's life!”
Logan turned his gaze to Selena. “But I stole the drug, and afterward, I would
need a lot of money to cover up the mistake, and it might even be impossible to
cover up, as I could be caught and get dismissed! My reputation in the industry
would be ruined!
“I've spent my whole life in scientific research, and I would never be content if I
couldn't continue. Those three percent of shares are for me to ensure I can
support myself in the future!”
Selena immediately understood what he meant.
Those three percent of the shares had been requested by her, and getting Logan
to ask was just a way to pressure the Horton family.
Selena quickly said, “Logan, you've really sacrificed your future for old Mrs.
Horton! I....I really don’t know what I should say to express my gratitude...”
Logan waved his hand. “Don’t mention it.”
Then he looked at Lewis, “Three percent of the shares
in exchange for old Mrs. Horton's life will von buy it

or not? If not, I won't bring any more of the drug, and I'll find a way to make up for
the three missing doses! Consider them a gift for old Mrs. Horton!”
Selena feigned urgency but outlined the
consequences. “But Logan, didn’t you say that if we started the drug we had to
complete the full course? If it's interrupted, the patient's condition could worsen
much faster!”
Logan said, “Exactly. Old Mrs. Horton originally had only a month or two left, but
if the drug is stopped now, she may only have a week or two..."
At this, Nathan's face changed color.
He looked at Old Mrs. Horton.
Mr. Horton felt his eyes immediately well up with tears. Upon hearing the bad
news about old Mrs. Horton, he had known there wouldn't be much time left, but
he hadn't expected it to be so short...
He said, “Buy this medicine. We must buy it! If you all won't sell shares, I will!”
The people behind Mr. Horton cried out, “Dad!”
They were obviously unwilling to do that.

Oliver had no affection for this grandmother of his. Seeing that things had come
to this point, he simply turned to Lewis. “Lewis, since Selena found Mr. Logan
Lee, the first branch of the family has fulfilled our duty to Grandma. I really can’t
come up with three percent of the shares. It's up to you now if you want to save
Grandma or not!”
All eyes immediately turned toward Lewis in unison.
It was Logan who had made a lion's demand here, yet everyone's gaze seemed
to be condemning him instead...
Keira found it ironic.
Just as she was about to speak, old Mrs. Horton said, “I don't need this
medicine!”
This statement made everyone turn their attention to
her!
Old Mrs. Horton said, “I've lived to this age; what's there to cling to? Using three
percent of the shares to buy two more years of life isn't worth it! For this broken
body of mine, living is just suffering!”
“No!” Mr. Horton was the first to object, “Sister, even if
it's not for two voord 111 d to stay with nal”

“Yes, Mom, you must live well!” Nathan also chimed in, then angrily turned to look
at Lewis. “Lewis, Grandma has been so good to you, and you can’t even part
with three percent of the shares? Do you really want to watch her die?!”
Lewis looked at the group of people before him, his gaze grew heavy.
If he gave up three percent of the shares, his position as Horton Group's
chairman would be at risk, and the first branch of the family would surely take the
opportunity to cause trouble.
But he didn't care at all.
If it weren't for his grandma, he wouldn't want Horton Group even if it was.
handed to him for free!
Was it just three percent of the shares?
He said, “I...”
“No,”
Keira interrupted him, assertively stepping in front of him. “Want shares? No way!
We are not giving them!”
Nathan flew into a rage. “What did you say? You ungrateful wretch!”

This time, even Mr. Horton was angry. “Lewis's wife, you, you really disappoint
me! If you won't give, I will!”
A look of pleasure crossed Oliver's face upon hearing
this.
The reason Lewis held fifty-three percent of the
shares was that Mr. Horton, out of respect for old Mrs. Horton, had entrusted his
shares to Lewis to manage!
Regardless of who gave the shares, their stake would be even...
But upon hearing this, Keira said, “You don’t need to give...”

Then, he turned to Lewi., “Lewis, is what your wi also your opinion?”
Of course not.
Keira hadn't told Lewis before making this decision.
But Lewis looked at Keira, and seeing her calm

Nathan added fuel to the fire. “Uncle, I've told you before, he is worse than a

Just as Oliver was about to say something, the butler rushed in from outside,
exclaiming, “Bad news!”
Everyone turned to look at him, “What happened?”
