How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 225 - Chapter 225 Chapter 225

Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Nathan Horton knew he would be relying on his cousins from the family in the future, so he immediately waved his hand, “How could that be! Your shares should go to the second branch of the family in the future.”

Mr. Horton finally understood and turned to look at Old Mrs. Horton.

Nathan bluntly put his thoughts into words, “My mom had promised before that whenever the younger generation of our family got married, they would receive shares… When Jake married, his wife was not good to my mom, so she didn’t give anything. Now Selena is about to marry into the Cobb family, which is a significant event for us. Mom, how much do you plan to give to Selena?”

His remarks were so reasonable that no one could refute them!

Old Mrs. Horton tensed her jaw and furrowed her brow.

After Lewis Horton had deceived Nathan out of two percent of his shares last time, the shares he could control had amounted to fifty-three percent.

If she were to give more than three percent, she feared that Lewis Horton would face an uncontrollable situation in the group.

While Old Mrs. Horton was conflicted, Lewis Horton spoke up, “Two percent.”

It was as if the shares Nathan had given him last time were being given back!

But as soon as these words came out, Nathan scoffed, “Lewis, in your heart, is your grandmother’s life only worth two percent?”

Lewis frowned.

Keira Olsen took the opportunity to interject, “We are discussing the dowry for Selena’s marriage. What does this have to do with grandma’s life? Are you saying Selena helped grandma find medicine just for shares? Can grandma’s life be measured in shares?”

Nathan was choked up.

Oliver Horton gave her a glare; he had thought Lewis’s wife was only good at getting physical and not much for talking.

He had not expected her to be so sharp-tongued!

This strong, silent type, Lewis, had actually married such a woman.

He stared angrily at Jake Horton, who everyone was treating as invisible. At the time of the wedding, why hadn’t he looked more carefully? If he could have married Keira Olsen, she would have been a great asset to the first branch of the family by now!

After Nathan and Oliver were silenced, Selena sighed leisurely, “Of course, that was not my intention. I just prayed to the Cobb family when I heard my great-grandmother’s condition had worsened… But…”

She sighed slightly, her voice filled with difficulty, “It’s not really for the sake of the family shares; it’s because the Cobb family went to great lengths, and my cousin took significant risks. In the end, the Cobb family promised three percent of the shares…”

Her face was bitter and helpless, “After all, I haven’t married over there yet. It doesn’t matter if the Cobb family exerts some effort, but it’s unreasonable for them to spend money… So I took the liberty of saying that our Horton family would cover these shares…”

She looked at Oliver uneasily, “Dad, I know I don’t have the right to promise the Horton family’s shares, but I was afraid that if we missed this opportunity, there would be no more medicine, so…”

She lowered her head, sighing deeply.

Oliver instantly understood what she meant and spoke directly, “You did nothing wrong. Since you’ve made a promise, we must give the shares. If not these three percent, I’ll provide it personally! It can be considered as a token of my affection for grandma!”

Nathan argued, “Nonsense, you already have so few shares, if you give away another three percent, how will you stand in the company in the future?”

He directly looked at Old Mrs. Horton, “Mom, the shares should come from your side; I think everyone should have no objection to that.”

Old Mrs. Horton scoffed coldly.

The first branch is putting on airs. Do they really think she can’t see through it?

It’s understandable to give money for medicine, but who gives shares for it!

It’s just an excuse for the first branch to get more shares!

Mr. Horton frowned and said, “Selena, who buys medicine with shares? I doubt there are many people who would believe that if you told them!”

Selena Horton immediately looked at Researcher Logan Lee, “My cousin is right here, everyone can ask him.”

Logan Lee coughed once, “Mr. Horton, this was indeed my request. You might not know, in Clance, the number of people wanting to get a spot from this research institute is just too many, including the powerful and the wealthy. Our dean couldn’t afford to offend any of them, got scared, and handed over the selection of spots to Nora Researcher herself!”

As he spoke, he gave a wry smile, “Nora Researcher is very mysterious, a fact that I’m sure you all are aware of.”

Everyone present nodded their heads.

They had all tried to beg the old Mrs. Horton for medicine, so of course, they knew how difficult it was to see Nora! It was said that only Corey Mills had seen her in person and knew her identity.

But Corey Mills was very tight-lipped; no matter who asked, he wouldn’t say.

Nora was impartial and chose the spots strictly based on the cases, without showing any favoritism.

Researcher Logan Lee continued, “So, this spot was actually obtained by asking Dean Mills for help, asking him to plead with Nora Researcher… and finally, Nora Researcher spoke up and asked for three percent of the shares, which is why the condition seems a bit harsh.”

Mr. Horton believed him immediately upon hearing this.

Money talks.

To say that a spot couldn’t be obtained was just because not enough money was given!

Three percent of the Horton Group’s shares had a market value of several hundred million; even the powerful in Clance might not be willing to buy it.

Setting such a high price, perhaps only the Horton Family in all of Crera would be willing to buy!

This wouldn’t affect the selection of spots afterwards either.

Lewis Horton furrowed his brows, feeling that Nora was not that kind of person because he had privately offered a higher price, and she had not budged.

Keira Olsen twitched her mouth!

This Logan Lee had actually used her as an excuse, not putting her in his eyes at all!

She laughed coldly and spoke up, “Nora Researcher never made such a condition, you’re talking nonsense!”

Researcher Logan Lee looked at her, helplessly saying, “Mrs. Horton, this condition is private, not something that just anyone outside of those few families can hear about.”

Selena Horton immediately said, “Auntie, there are all kinds of unspoken rules in high society, I also got a shock when I heard about this condition!”

Nathan Horton sneered, “Coming from a humble background, what right do you have to hear about these things? If you don’t understand anything, then don’t butt in here!”

Lewis Horton immediately spoke up, “My grandfather’s generation was also from a humble background, Dad, does that mean you look down on Grandpa too?”

Nathan Horton choked.

Lewis Horton sneered, “Going back three generations, everyone’s ancestors were farmers, don’t be disdainful of others here!”

Oliver Horton sneered, “Lewis, you can’t speak like that, everyone looks at the present situation. Why didn’t her ancestors work harder? Why didn’t she get reincarnated into a good family? If she had been born into one of the five major families of Clance, she would have had the right to hear such things!”

He looked toward Keira Olsen, “If you’re not of that level, you better not embarrass yourself here!”

Researcher Logan Lee also smiled.

Keira Olsen took out her phone: “What a coincidence, I happen to know Corey Mills… Dean Mills, I’ll call him right now to ask!”

She directly dialed Corey Mills’ number!
