How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 224 - Chapter 224 Chapter 224

Chapter 224: Chapter 224 Chapter 224: Chapter 224 Remembered?

Keira Olsen was a bit surprised.

She didn’t expect the Alzheimer’s medicine to work so fast!

It had only been two days!

However, she understood that the medicine stimulated nerve regeneration and balanced bodily functions.

Old Mrs. Horton would slowly regain her memory, her recalling why she got married so quickly was just a coincidence of restoring that period of memory.

She asked, “How did we get our marriage certificate?”

Old Mrs. Horton was about to speak when the excited voice of Selena Horton came through the door, “Grandmother is awake!”

Old Mrs. Horton paused and looked outside, “Who is outside?”

Keira Olsen explained, “People from the second branch of the family came to see you.”

Old Mrs. Horton immediately said, “Oh, it’s my brother and his family!”

She patted Keira Olsen’s hand, “The matter of the marriage is a bit lengthy, we’ll talk after they leave.”

“Okay.”

No sooner had they finished speaking than the second branch’s Mr. Horton and Nathan Horton walked in.

“Sister-in-law!”

The second branch’s Mr. Horton called out.

Old Mrs. Horton smiled and said, “How did you end up coming here? There’s nothing wrong with me anymore!”

The second branch’s Mr. Horton examined her as well.

Old Mrs. Horton was a sister-in-law respected by Mr. Horton, who had deep feelings for her.

Her brother had unexpectedly passed away when he was only fifteen.

Both their parents had passed away early, and he thought his sister-in-law would remarry with her crying children, forcing him to drop out of school and work to support himself.

Instead, without a word, she took charge of the entire family and told him, “Don’t worry about school, I will find a way to pay for your tuition.”

Afterwards, she started a street stall behind Nathan Horton’s back.

She endured much hardship.

During those socially unstable times, he once saw some punks come to collect protection money. The sister-in-law picked up a kitchen knife and swung wildly at them, “No money, but take a life if you want!”

The punks left saying they would come back.

Later, those people jumped into their yard at night and threw stones at the windows, while the sister-in-law always kept that knife under her pillow.

At that time, he was young and timid, and once asked his sister-in-law, “Should we just give them the money?”

But the sister-in-law said, “No, that money is for your school. If we give it to them, how will you pay the tuition?”

That was just the smallest of their crises.

Later, the sister-in-law opened a store, and as business grew, he joined the company after graduating. Together, they witnessed the establishment of Horton Group.

Back then, some underlings told him, “How can a woman be a chairwoman? You should fight for power and profit.” He immediately fired those underlings!

Other women might not be capable, but the sister-in-law definitely was!

Unfortunately, later on, the sister-in-law and Nathan Horton had a falling out, and her presence affected Nathan’s authority in the company.

So the sister-in-law cleanly stepped down and handed over full control of the company to Nathan Horton.

Mr. Horton didn’t say a word and supported Nathan Horton. Eventually, to allow him to lead alone, he resigned decisively and returned to his hometown.

When the sister-in-law found out, she immediately built him a high-walled mansion in their hometown.

Thinking of the past, Mr. Horton’s eyes turned red and his hands trembled as he held Old Mrs. Horton’s hands, “Sister-in-law, you must take care of yourself. I still want to be able to call you sister-in-law when I’m ninety!”

Old Mrs. Horton had tears in her eyes.

She was fond of this brother, and he had nothing but good to say about her.

Her brother was one of the few university students of his generation. If he had stayed in Clance and entered a governmental institution, he would have surely reached an unattainable height by now.

But he decisively gave up the “iron rice bowl” everyone coveted at that time and came back to help her build the company.

It was only right that she gave him shares!

Later, when she handed over Lewis Horton to her brother, he indeed lived up to the expectations and never let Lewis Horton be harmed.

Old Mrs. Horton said with a laugh, “Oh no, in another ten years, I’ll be 96! Wouldn’t I become an old demon then!”

Mr. Horton immediately replied, “May you live a long and full life, and you still need to help Lewis have a son!”

Old Mrs. Horton started laughing.

After they exchanged a few words, Mr. Horton opened his mouth, “They just know how to scare me, saying you were almost gone and that I should come to see you. But look at you, you’re doing well!”

Upon hearing this, Nathan Horton said, “Uncle, about that, it’s all thanks to Selena Horton.

He motioned for Selena Horton to come over, then recounted the events, ending with, “This child is to marry into the Cobb family. By rights, she should avoid any semblance of favoritism. Begging the Cobb family for favors, she won’t be able to hold her head high there later on.”

Selena Horton immediately said, “Grandpa, don’t say that. This is for my great-grandma, and doing these things for her is only proper.”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Horton immediately praised, “Good child, truly a good child! Don’t worry, when you get married, I’ll make sure to add abundantly to your dowry and will not let you lose face in the Cobb family! Our Horton family may not be as influential as the Cobb family, but we’re not far behind!”

Selena Horton blushed shyly.

When Oliver Horton heard this, he quickly spoke up, “Uncle, since you are here, I’d like to ask a favor for Selena.”

Mr. Horton immediately asked, “What?”

Oliver Horton proceeded slowly, “As you know, Selena is my illegitimate daughter. She has been dutiful all these years, and I want you to write her name in the family registry!”

In such major families, being recorded in the family registry equated to having the right to inherit!

Mr. Horton hesitated for a moment, then immediately nodded, “Just for the child’s heart towards her great-grandma, it should be done! I’ll record her name once I get back!”

Then, turning to Selena Horton, he said, “Now that you are a child of the Horton family, you must remember to never break the law or discipline, to be a good person. Do you understand?”

Selena Horton smiled, “I understand, don’t worry.”

Oliver Horton then poked Nathan Horton’s back.

Nathan Horton got the hint and blurted out, “Now that she’s officially recognized in the family registry as a legitimate granddaughter of the Horton family, and also marrying into the Cobb family in Clance, Uncle, I think it’s only right that she receives some company shares as a bridal dowry.”

Mr. Horton nodded, “That’s only proper.”

Nathan Horton was delighted and about to speak when he heard Mr. Horton inquire, “How much are you planning to give her?”

Nathan Horton: ?

He twitched his mouth and then coughed, “It’s not me…”

Curiously, Mr. Horton turned to Oliver Horton, “Then it’s…”

Oliver Horton laughed awkwardly, “I own just ten percent of the shares. Though I’d like to give some to my daughter, I still have a son, after all…”

Mr. Horton was stupefied, “Then you expect me to give?”

As soon as he said this, those from the second branch of the family who came with Mr. Horton immediately looked discontentedly at both Nathan Horton and Oliver Horton.

The first and second branches had already split.

Moreover, Mr. Horton only owned fifteen percent of the Horton Group shares. Give more to the Horton family? That was impossible!

Nathan Horton still depended on his cousins in the family, so he immediately waved his hands, “How could that be! Your shares are meant for the second branch.”

Finally, Mr. Horton understood and looked towards Old Mrs. Horton.

Nathan Horton simply laid it all out, “Mom had promised before, whenever the younger generation marries, they would be given shares… When Jake got married, since his wife was not good to Mom, she did not give any. Now that Selena is marrying into the Cobb family, which is a big deal for our family, Mom, how much are you planning to give Selena?”

The way he put it was so reasonable that it was beyond refute!
