My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

70 It's Her

Tom was on the verge of exploding with anger!

Jake had done nothing and yet he was appointed as the director? Based on what?!

But he understood that at this crucial stage of

cooperation, such a request for the Horton Group was just a small matter!

With so many executives watching, such a minor job transfer would inevitably be agreed to by Lewis!

How frustrating!

What was wrong with this Frankie Allen?! Even if the Davis family harbored resentment against the Horton family

back then, shouldn't it be aimed at the first branch of the family? Why was he always against

Lewis?!

Lewis's expression was calm. He had always been cool-minded, and his piercing gaze fixed on Frankie Allen.

Slowly he said, “If | don’t agree, won't Mr. Allen sign the deal?”

His interrogatory statement quieted the room

instantly.

Lewis looked indifferent.

There were many people from the Horton Group in

the conference room, all of whom could bring pressure

on Lewis.

But there were also plenty of people from the Allen family!

If the cooperation was canceled because of the unreasonable requirement proposed by Frankie Allen, he would

face the company’s pressure too.

Now it was merely a test of each side's patience.

The one who couldn’t hold out would lose.

After a long while, Lewis still appeared calm. Frankie Allen was left with no choice but to speak up, “Of course

not, Mr. Horton. Maybe you misunderstood. This is just my personal proposal.”

The chill around Lewis seemed to fade a bit. “Let’s sign the contract first. Jake will be responsible for the future

cooperation.”

Once Jake got things done, there would be a reason for his promotion to director. This was a verbal

promise that Lewis gave to Frankie Allen.

Both sides were large corporate groups. Frankie Allen took a step back, and Lewis didn’t want to be overly

aggressive.

Frankie nodded, signed the two contracts, and

stamped them. Thus, the cooperation officially took

effect.

Frankie stood up and extended a hand to Lewis, “Mr. Horton, happy working with you.”

Lewis looked at him indifferently without saying a word, showing that he was still dissatisfied with the commotion

that Frankie had recently stirred up.

Seeing this, Frankie Allen waved his hand to dismiss the assistants in the conference room. After the room

was left with two people, he turned to Lewis, trying to explain. “Don’t getwrong. My actions weren't

instigated by my aunt. | owed Isla Olsen a favor. | just had to fight for sbenefits for Jake.”

Upon hearing this, Lewis stood up. “No need to explain. I'm not interested in her.”

Frankie frowned. “My sister was humiliated in the

hospital and almost lost her life Isla Olsen protected

her and called me, saving my sister. | have to repay this

debt.”

Lewis's eyes narrowed, colder than before. Without another word, he walked out the door.

Tom followed him. “Boss, we just discussed with the people from the Allen Family. There will be a celebratory

banquet tomorrow night. | inquired just now, and Frankie Allen will come. | heard that his parents have also

arrived in Oceanion and will attend

then.”

Upon hearing this, Lewis narrowed his eyes, “I see.”

Frankie Allen’s mother was that woman's younger

sister, his own aunt.

Tom continued. “There's one problem, your date.

Should we find one from the secretariat, or should we

ask Miss Olsen?”

Lewis expressed plainly, “She probably doesn’t like such events, forget it.”

It meant that he didn’t need a date.

Tom nodded in acknowledgment.

But he was taken aback shortly after.

70 It's Her

If it were in the past, the boss would have reprimanded him for being too talkative as soon as he heard the name

“Miss Olsen”. Now he was saying that she didn’t like the occasion?

It seems like the boss's attitude toward Miss Olsen has

changed.

Keira didn’t feel any change.

After all, when Lewis returned from work, he was still wearing a gloomy face as if someone owed him a

fortune.

Even when the puppy raised its head and wagged its tail to greet him, the man didn’t even give it a glance.

Keira pretended she didn’t see it and continued th her work, wrapping up her drug research.

These days, she had thoroughly understood the neurology data borrowed from the Horton Grou problem she

encountered in her research now ha solution, so she could now create the clinical drug Alzheimer’s disease soon.

Old Mrs. Horton had been very anxious since Keira wasn’t going to work anymore. She wanted the couple

to foster their relationship more and initially intended

70 it's Her

to talk to Lewis after work to take his wife out to see a concert or have a meal or something...

But looking at his face, she couldn't help but comment, “He must have had a tough day at work.”

She turned to Tom and asked, “Did he encounter any difficulty?”

When Lewis went to wash his hands in the bathroom, Tom couldn't help but say, “It’s still that Frankie Allen. |

don’t know what's wrong with him. He is always against the boss and tries to promote young Mr.

Horton...”

Keira raised her eyebrows.

Had Tom forgotten that old Mrs. Horton was also Jake's great-grandmother?

He was talking like this in front of the old lady...

But to her surprise, old Mrs. Horton snorted, “How c| didn’t know that there was a relationship. between the

Allen family and Jake? How did they connect? Doesn't Jake really know that the Allen fami has reservations about

his uncle? Wait, shouldn't the Allen family hate the first branch?”

Her expression clearly showed that she was unhesitatingly standing on Lewis's side.

Tom snorted, “Who knows what's going on? It's a shthat the Allen family doesn’t have a proper

relationship with us but is getting all cozy with the first

branch!”

Old Mrs. Horton pursed her lips. “Didn’t you go to see Allen's younger daughter at the hospital today? Wasn't the

relationship reconciled a bit? Seeing her own nephew, didn’t Mrs. Allen show any emotions?”

Tom sighed. “We didn’t meet them. They said the patient wasn’t well.”

Old Mrs. Horton was very dissatisfied. “Even if her condition isn’t good, shouldn't they let us see her? Once you

think about it, they aren't close to us and haven't tried to make an effort! Actually, srelative are easy to get

along with once the ice is broken.”

The old lady had thought it through.

After all, it was her son who failed Lewis's mother back

then, so it was natural for the Davis family to hate

them.

She resented them previously because Lewis's mother had a C-section when she was seven months pregnant,

putting Lewis in critical condition several times, which the old lady felt was too ruthless. But now...

The Horton Family and her grandson weren't close. The old lady was no longer as strong, and if the Davis family

could release sgoodwill to fill the gap in the feelings of her grandson...

So, she was actually hoping that through this

cooperation, Lewis could get closer to the Allen family.

But who would have thought that it would turn out like

this?

Old Mrs. Horton was filled with worry. “What's wrong with the Allen family?”

Seeing that she was mumbling to herself, Keira suddenly suggested, “Grandma, why don’t | intro the two

families to each other?”

After all, she was Rebecca Allen’s savior and felt tha Mr. and Mrs. Allen were good people when she met them.

Once the relationship thawed, they would be able to get along slowly...

Lewis, who had just washed his hands, cout of the bathroom and heard this.

His gaze grew cold, but he immediately followed up with a question, “Do you know the Allen family?”

Keira nodded, “Yes, | did them a small favor earlier.”

A small favor...

Lewis suddenly realized something. “So, it was you

who saved his sister?”

Keira was surprised. “How do you know?”
