Lewis waved his hand dismissively, letting the butler exit first. Please ask them to wait. Yes.
After the butler quietly left, Lewis finally turned to Nathan, asking coldly, On what grounds?
On what grounds? Nathan exuded a sense of authority. With her status, shell only bring shame to the Horton Group! Do you know that if the reporters spread the word tomorrow that your wife is an illegitimate daughter, how much our shares will plummet?!
Oliver also said, Lewis, since you have taken the role of CEO of the Horton Group, you must take on the corresponding responsibilities, including your
marriage! How could a woman of such status be worthy of you?!
Seeing this, Melissa turned her gaze directly to Keira, Miss Olsen, if you really care about Lewis, you should conscientiously divorce him!

Keira pressed her lips together, offering no response. She wasnt foolish and certainly understood that these
people were just seizing the opportunity to make trouble. Even if today Lewis announced that Madeleine was his wife, they would probably criticize Madeleine for her humble origins, deeming her unworthy of
Lewis.
Yet, her own status was indeed the issue.
She turned her head to look at Lewis, trying to pull her hand out of his
With a twinge of guilt indeed forming in her heart
The illegitimate daughter label had imprisoned her for over twenty years, and she didnt want the same shackles to bind Lewis
Lost in thought, the strong, dry hand suddenly gripped hers tightly. Lewiss voice then resolutely rang out. Are there any legal stipulations that a corporations legal person, or a chairman, cannot marry an illegitimate daughter as a wife?
His words made everyone speechless.
Nathan retorted angrily, Do we need rules for that?

Its an unspoken consensus! You
Since there are no stipulations Lewis cut him off directly. If you wish to remove me from the chairmans position, then go through the proper
procedure, call a board meeting, and let everyone vote!
Your control of fifty-one percent of the shares makes the vote decision basically whatever you say! think youre just running a dictatorial regime in the company!
An infuriated Nathan picked up a teacup and hurled it
at Lewis.
Crash!
The teacup smashed to pieces in front of Lewis, shards scattering everywhere. Just as Nathan was about to speak, a walking stick suddenly struck out!
Who allowed you to use violence?!
Old Mrs. Horton, wielding her walking stick, struck at Nathan. How dare you lay a hand on Lewis and his wife? Youre a disobedient son! Are you trying to kill

me?

With a frown, Nathan looked at old Mrs. Horton,
showing a helpless expression, Mom, I
Dont call me mom! If you dont recognize your grandsons wife, then dont recognize you as a son!
Old Mrs. Horton lost her temper. You even dare to hit your grandsons wife. What kind of grandfather-in-law are you? Which familys grandfather-in-law dares to strike their granddaughter-in-law?
Dodging her blows, Nathan argued, Mom, dont talk nonsense; everything said is for the best interest of the company. His choice of a wife is good for nothing, and bringing it up only brings disgrace upon the Horton Group! Now hes already caused such a negative impact on the company, yet he still clings to the chairmans seat. Hes just being selfish! Even if let it go today, there are still so many executives in the Horton Group! With so many reporters at todays banquet, the articles will soon come out, and the Horton family will become the biggest joke in
Oceanion. Lets see how hell explain himself to those executives tomorrow!! 13.39 160 Another Slap in the Face
At those words, Oliver had already pulled out his phone, opened the financial news channels feed, and heaved a silent sigh. Dad, we dont need tomorrow. The buzz has already started.
Old Mrs. Horton paused her actions, while Nathan immediately turned to look at his phone.
However, he saw headlines like CEO of Horton Groups wife is an illegitimate daughter and Mistress causes a scene at Old Mrs. Hortons birthday banquet that were eye-catching and had topped the trending searches.
Among them, the clickbait topic Shocking: Lewiss wife is actually her was ranked first!
With a sneer, Nathan said, Lewis, look at this, this is your doing! Tonights trending shouldve been about your grandmothers birthday celebration, but it turned into this! God knows how theyre mocking you inside! Whats so good about this illegitimate daughter? You must give the Horton Group an explanation today!
Oliver also sighed. Lewis, this matter concerns the entire companys future operations. You cant act on a whim, nor can you neglect the company. Even if you

Before he could finish, Keira suddenly said, Did you see the title of the top trending search?
This remark made everyone pause slightly.
Nathan immediately frowned, Such lack of manners. We are in the middle of a conversation, and there you go interrupting. What business is it of a womans?
As soon as he finished speaking, the cane struck again. am also a woman. Are you going to tell me to shut up, too?! Nathan was speechless.
