226 Petty Family
Nathan immediately waved his hand. How is that possible? Your shares are supposed to go to the second branch of the family in the future.
Now, Mr. Horton finally understood and looked toward
old Mrs. Horton.
Nathan decided to speak frankly. My mom had promised before that when the younger generation in the family gets married, they would all receive shares When Jake got married, his wife wasnt good to my mom, so she didnt give any shares. Now Selena is going to marry into the Cobb family, which is a big deal for our family. Mom, how much are you planning to give Selena?
The question was raised in a way that made it hard for anyone to refute!
Old Mrs. Horton tensed her jaw and furrowed her
brow.
After Lewis had cheated Nathan out of two percent of his shares last time, the shares he controlled amounted to fifty-three percent.

If she gave away more than three percent of the shares, it was likely that Lewis would face an uncontrollable situation in the company.
As old Mrs. Horton agonized over what to do, Lewis said, Two percent, I think.
It was as if he was giving back the two percent that Nathan had given him before!
However, as soon as he said this, Nathan sneered. Lewis, in your heart, is your grandmothers life only worth two percent?
Lewis frowned.
Keira seized the moment to interject. We are talking about the dowry Selena will take with her when she gets married. What does that have to do with Grandmas life? Is Selena helping Grandma find medicine just for shares? Can Grandmas life be measured in shares?
Nathan was at a loss for words.
Oliver glanced at her sharply, having previously
thought that Lewiss wife was someone who was more physical and didnt talk much.

He didnt expect her to be so sharp-tongued!
And to think the reserved Lewis ended up marrying
such a bride.
Enraged, he gave an annoyed look at Jake, who everyone seemed to have forgotten about, and thought about how he had failed to be more discerning at the time of his marriage. If he had managed to marry Keira, she would have been a great asset to the first branch of the family by now!
After Nathan and Oliver were left speechless, Selena sighed. Of course, thats not what I meant. I heard that our great-grandmothers illness had worsened, so I pleaded with the Cobb family. Its just that
She sighed softly, appearing troubled as she spoke, Im not really after the family shares, but in order to obtain this medicine, the Cobb family went to great lengths, and Mr. Lee took a huge risk. In the
Cobb family was promised three percent of t

spend money So I took it upon myself to say that we, the Horton family, would cover these shares
She looked anxiously at Oliver. Dad, I know that the Horton familys shares are not mine to promise, but I was afraid that if we missed this opportunity, there might be no medicine left, so
She lowered her head and let out a sigh.
Oliver immediately understood her meaning and said, You did the right thing. Since a promise has been made, we must give these shares. If this three percent cant come from the family, Ill provide it personally! Its the least I can do for my grandmother!
Nathan exclaimed angrily, Nonsense! You already have so few shares! If you give away three percent, how will you stand in the company in the future?
He turned to old Mrs. Horton. Mom, this share shop come from your side. I think no one should have any objections.
Old Mrs. Horton sneered.
The first branch was putting on an act; did they really think she couldnt see through it?

Its understandable to pay for medicine, but who
would give away shares for it?
It was merely an excuse for the first branch to ask for
the shares!
Mr. Horton frowned and said, Selena, who would use shares to buy medicine? If you say this, not many will believe it, right?
Selena immediately looked at Logan Lee, Mr. Lee is right here, everyone can ask him.
Logan cleared his throat. Mr. Horton, this was indeed my request. You might not know that in Clance, there are just too many people who want to secure a spot from this institute. Among them, there are nobles and tycoons; our director couldnt afford to offend any of them, so scared that he shrank back and left the selection of the spots to Nora personally!
At this point, he smiled bitterly. Nora is very mysterious, as Im sure everyone here knows.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They had all sought medicine for the old Mrs. Horton before, so of course, they understood how difficult it
Ton to goo thin Noral It was said that only Corey Milla

had met her in person and knew her identity.
But Corey was tight-lipped. No matter who inquired, he would not tell.
Nora was impartial and just, choosing the spots strictly based on the cases, with no room for personal feelings.
Logan continued, So this spot was actually secured by Dean Mills. I pleaded with him to speak to Nora In the end, Nora only said about wanting three percent of the shares, hence the terms might seem a bit harsh.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Horton immediately believed it.
Money could make anything happen.
As for not securing a spot, it was simply because the money offered wasnt enough!
Three percent of Horton Groups shares were worth several hundred million in market value; even those
elites from Clance might not be willing to buy it.
To offer such an astronomically high price, probably only the Horton family in Crera would buy it!
This wont affect the subsequent selection for spots

Lewis then frowned, feeling that Nora wasnt that sort of person because he himself had privately offered an even higher price, and she hadnt relented.
Keira then sneered!
This Logan Lee was actually using her as an excuse, not taking her seriously at all!
She sneered and said, Nora never set such terms, and youre talking nonsense!
Logan looked at her and said helplessly, Mrs. Horton, this condition was private. Apart from those few families, its not something that just anyone can hear.
Selena immediately said, Aunt Keira, there are all sorts of unwritten rules in high society. I was also taken aback when I heard these terms!
Nathan sneered. Coming from a petty family, what right do you have to hear these things? If you dont understand anything, dont just jump into the
conversation!
Lewis immediately objected. My grandfathers
generation was also from a minor household, are you showing disrespect to Grandpa as well?

Nathan was speechless
Lewis sneered. If you count back three generations, we were all peasants, so dont look down on others here!
Oliver scoffed. Lewis, you cant say things like that. Everyone looks at the present. Why didnt her ancestors work harder? How come she wasnt born into a good family? If she were born into one of Clances five major families, she would have had the right to hear such talk!
He looked at Keira. If you dont belong to that level, then dont embarrass yourself here!
Logan also smiled.
Keira then took out her phone. What a coincidence. I just happen to know Corey Dean Mills. Let me make a phone call and ask!
She dialed Coreys number.
