How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 227 - Chapter 227 Chapter 227

Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Dean Mills?

Everyone was slightly startled.

Lewis Horton suddenly thought of something and looked directly at Keira Olsen.

As expected, he saw no surprise on her face, and he slightly furrowed his brow as if he understood something.

He directly said to the butler, “So he has come, what’s wrong with that?”

The butler wiped his sweat and then said, “No, it’s that he said someone at their research institute was embezzling! So he came with the police to arrest someone!”

“…”

At these words, everyone’s faces changed dramatically.

Researcher Logan Lee even swallowed hard and then looked at Keira Olsen, “It was you, you know Corey Mills, you reported me, didn’t you?!”

Lewis Horton said sternly, “Don’t accuse others without evidence.”

Logan Lee, however, became angry, “The drugs are all stored by me, usually locked in a safe, no one but me and Dean Mills can open it. Dean Mills is now in Oceanion, if she hadn’t told Dean Mills, how would he possibly know?!”

After finishing, Logan Lee looked at Keira Olsen, “Even if I stole the drugs, it was for your old Mrs. Horton. You just didn’t want to give shares, right? Then we could have parted on good terms, why did you still have to report me?!”

Selena Horton also frowned.

She directly spoke, “What else could it be? Afraid that the elder would give out shares! This way, no one has to give anything, how convenient!”

She sighed softly, looking at Lewis Horton and Keira Olsen, “Uncle, aunt, the research institute has strict control over the drugs. By doing this, you are cutting off grandma’s lifeline!”

Nathan Horton cursed angrily, “Lewis Horton, you bastard, bastard! Even if Logan Lee broke the law, it was for your grandma! An outsider went to such lengths for your grandma, what about you?! Did your conscience get eaten by a dog?”

Oliver Horton said ominously, “Dad, I think Lewis might not know about this matter. Maybe his wife orchestrated it all by herself?”

Upon hearing this, Nathan Horton became even angrier, “Lewis Horton, do you know anything at all? If you don’t know, and all this was orchestrated by your wife, then divorce her immediately! We, the Hortons, don’t need such a disloyal daughter-in-law!”

Keira Olsen didn’t say anything but looked towards Lewis Horton.

She didn’t want to deal with the others, but she had to make things clear to Lewis Horton.

Just as she was about to speak, Lewis Horton stood in front of her and said, “What she did, I did!”

Keira Olsen was stunned.

She never expected Lewis Horton to trust her so much…

This caught her off guard, but slowly a smile formed at the corners of her lips.

Mr. Horton raised his cane, about to strike Lewis Horton, just as Lewis had finished speaking.

“Ungrateful creature! Lewis Horton, you disloyal son! I, I will beat you to death!”

Lewis Horton didn’t dodge the elder; the elder was old, and if he had dodged, the cane might have swung through the air and caused the elder to twist his waist and get hurt.

The cane was about to strike him when Keira Olsen stepped forward one step and grasped the cane!

Mr. Horton glared at her, his aged face wrinkled in anger, and he shouted, “What are you doing?!”

Keira Olsen sighed, “Elder, it’s not what you think, let Dean Mills come inside, I assure you there’s a twist in this situation.”

Mr. Horton retorted angrily, “What twist could there be? The police have come, they will take Researcher Hill away, and what about the third drug? Could we still hide it?”

Logan Lee sneered, “Even if you hid the third drug, what about what follows? I didn’t bring it at all!”

Mr. Horton then smacked the table, “Lewis Horton, Lewis’s wife, you two are really foolish!!”

From the sickbed, Old Mrs. Horton said, “Brother, stop scolding them, Lewis and Keira are not that kind of kids, they must have their reasons…”

Nathan Horton scoffed, “Mom, at a time like this, you clearly gave him over twenty percent of the shares, yet now he’s not even willing to part with three percent. And you’re still speaking up for him?”

Oliver Horton spoke up coldly, “Grandma, actually, if Lewis really isn’t willing to part with the shares, I’d be willing to help you out. It’s just too bad the police have shown up now and we don’t even have that chance…”

While they were speaking, the butler had already led Dean Mills and the police inside.

Upon entering, Mills immediately turned to Logan Lee, “How could you, Logan Lee? I trusted you so much, thought of you as a relative of the Cobb family, thinking others couldn’t threaten you. And yet you ended up embezzling!”

After hearing Keira Olsen’s words yesterday, he thought it was a misunderstanding and returned to Clance overnight.

But when he opened the research institute’s safe where the medications were kept, he saw that an entire batch of fifty doses was missing!

He was utterly shocked at that moment.

Immediately, he rushed back overnight, just to clarify things for Nora Researcher!

Upon hearing this, Logan Lee immediately responded, “Dean Mills, listen to my explanation, I did it to save someone…”

“There’s no need for explanations, Officer, the evidence is conclusive, take him away now!”

In front of Nora Researcher, where Mills did not dare ramble, he straightforwardly said, “The value of the medication you embezzled is incalculable. The police station asked us to make an assessment, it’s not on the market yet, and no price has been set…”

These words were actually meant for Keira Olsen to hear.

Keira Olsen snickered, “Just now, Researcher Hill openly asked for three percent of the shares… Let me calculate, how many billions is three percent of Horton Group’s shares?”

She turned her head to look at Lewis Horton.

Lewis Horton cooperated, “Approximately…”

“No, no!” Logan Lee panicked!

His entire sentencing now depended on the price of the medication; if it truly amounted to several billion, he might be sentenced to life imprisonment!

He immediately looked at Selena Horton and exclaimed, “I didn’t ask for three percent of the shares, she was the one who wanted them! I haven’t taken a single penny, I was just trying to help out the Cobb family! If you don’t believe me, you can check my bank account, there has been no large influx of funds recently!”

This statement was true…

As a distant cousin of the Cobb family, he could use this incident to deepen his ties with the Cobb family, the future value of which was incalculable!

This made Selena Horton’s face turn pale.

Seeing all the secrets being revealed, Keira Olsen was finally satisfied, she sneered, “Then let’s calculate it at a hundred times the price once the medication hits the market!”

The price of clinical drugs not on the market would definitely be more expensive than those that are available!

Dean Mills understood and reported a number to the police, which was not high, at most sentencing Logan Lee to two or three years.

But Logan Lee’s reputation in the circle was ruined; he wouldn’t be able to work as a researcher after his release.

This was indeed the greatest punishment for him!

Logan Lee was quickly taken away by the police, leaving only the Hortons behind.

Old Mrs. Horton then scoffed, “So it turns out it wasn’t Logan Lee who was making outrageous demands, but Selena Horton wanted the money? What now? Did the first branch of the family help me seek medicine, only to be this calculative?”

Selena Horton’s complexion turned as pale as paper!

Oliver Horton gave a forced smile, then spoke, “Grandma, are you still blaming us? Either way, Selena found you the medication! If just now Lewis just agreed to part with the shares, we wouldn’t have any of these problems. But he had to expose everything, and now the medication is gone!!”

Nathan Horton frowned deeply, “Lewis, just for the sake of shares, would you disregard your grandmother’s life? You truly are cold-blooded and heartless! I don’t have a son like you!”

Mr. Horton was also angry and hit the ground with his cane; he was genuinely anxious and deeply troubled, “Lewis, even if you knew this was a trap, even if you knew this was the first branch’s plot, was there really a need to go to such extremes? What now! The medication is gone, what are you going to do for your sister-in-law!!”

Lewis Horton didn’t respond to any of this but looked confidently towards Keira Olsen.

Indeed, the next moment, a cool, clear voice of the girl slowly said, “Who said the medication was gone? Isn’t it being brought here?”
