227 Slap in the Face
Logans face changed drastically at the sight!
He immediately stepped forward, trying to snatch Keiras mobile phone.
Lewis stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and said sharply, What do you think youre doing?
Thats when the phone rang.
Keira turned on the speaker and before the other party could speak, she said, Dean Mills, Mr. Logan Lee said that youd asked for three percent of the shares for the medicine. Is that true?
Corey immediately said, Definitely not! Does our biotech company lack that little stock? Thats just ridiculous! Who is spreading such rumors out there?!
Keira then looked at Logan.
Logans face was ashen, and his anxious expression underwent a great change.
Others might not have recognized Coreys voice, but he did!

Keira said indifferently. Alright, thanks for clarifying that for me.
She hung up, and with a mocking smile, looked at Logan, Do you have anything else to say?
Selena said, Aunt Keira, was that Corey just now? He sounded quite polite talking to you, but isnt Dean Mills known for his bad temper?
Oliver scoffed. That definitely wasnt the real Dean Mills, it was such a joke. Who knows who she got to play along and pretend to be Corey over the phone?
Is that so?
Keira looked at Logan indifferently. Others may not recognize Dean Millss voice, but you should, right?
Logan was still stubborn. The voice did sound a bit like him, but there are many scams nowadays, Ive heard that they can fake not only appearances bu
voices
Should I make another call to Dean Mills? Ask him prove his identity?!
Keira took out her phone again.
Logan was terrified and immediately waved his hand.

That wont be necessary. Dean Millss voice is very distinctive, that was indeed Dean Mills just now!
Everyone looked at him.
After thinking for a moment, Logan said, Alright, I admit that the three percent of the shares wasnt for
Nora.
He and Selena locked eyes before he bluntly said, It was for me!
At this statement, everyone was startled.
Oliver asked, What?
Selena said, Logan, what are you talking about? Is there some misunderstanding here?
Logan said, Theres no misunderstanding; it was me who wanted it! BecauseI stole the drug!
As soon as these words were said, everyone wa
shocked.
But Logan looked at Keira and said, Youre not a scientific researcher and dont know anything abo our industry. Being able to work under Nora at the Clance Research Institute is everyones dream. I mad a lot of effort to get into this institute. However, I

couldnt bear to refuse the requests of my cousin and Miss Selena, especially since it involved old Mrs. Hortons life!
Logan turned his gaze to Selena. But I stole the drug, and afterward, I would need a lot of money to cover up the mistake, and it might even be impossible to cover up, as I could be caught and get dismissed! My reputation in the industry would be ruined!
Ive spent my whole life in scientific research, and I would never be content if I couldnt continue. Those three percent of shares are for me to ensure I can support myself in the future!
Selena immediately understood what he meant.
Those three percent of the shares had been requested by her, and getting Logan to ask was just a way to pressure the Horton family.
Selena quickly said, Logan, youve really sacrificed your future for old Mrs. Horton! II really dont know what I should say to express my gratitude
Logan waved his hand. Dont mention it.
Then he looked at Lewis, Three percent of the shares
in exchange for old Mrs. Hortons life will von buy it

or not? If not, I wont bring any more of the drug, and Ill find a way to make up for the three missing doses! Consider them a gift for old Mrs. Horton!
Selena feigned urgency but outlined the
consequences. But Logan, didnt you say that if we started the drug we had to complete the full course? If its interrupted, the patients condition could worsen much faster!
Logan said, Exactly. Old Mrs. Horton originally had only a month or two left, but if the drug is stopped now, she may only have a week or two
At this, Nathans face changed color.
He looked at Old Mrs. Horton.
Mr. Horton felt his eyes immediately well up with tears. Upon hearing the bad news about old Mrs. Horton, he had known there wouldnt be much time left, but he hadnt expected it to be so short
He said, Buy this medicine. We must buy it! If you all wont sell shares, I will!
The people behind Mr. Horton cried out, Dad!
They were obviously unwilling to do that.

Oliver had no affection for this grandmother of his. Seeing that things had come to this point, he simply turned to Lewis. Lewis, since Selena found Mr. Logan Lee, the first branch of the family has fulfilled our duty to Grandma. I really cant come up with three percent of the shares. Its up to you now if you want to save Grandma or not!
All eyes immediately turned toward Lewis in unison.
It was Logan who had made a lions demand here, yet everyones gaze seemed to be condemning him instead
Keira found it ironic.
Just as she was about to speak, old Mrs. Horton said, I dont need this medicine!
This statement made everyone turn their attention to
her!
Old Mrs. Horton said, Ive lived to this age; whats there to cling to? Using three percent of the shares to buy two more years of life isnt worth it! For this broken body of mine, living is just suffering!
No! Mr. Horton was the first to object, Sister, even if
its not for two voord 111 d to stay with nal

Yes, Mom, you must live well! Nathan also chimed in, then angrily turned to look at Lewis. Lewis, Grandma has been so good to you, and you cant even part with three percent of the shares? Do you really want to watch her die?!
Lewis looked at the group of people before him, his gaze grew heavy.
If he gave up three percent of the shares, his position as Horton Groups chairman would be at risk, and the first branch of the family would surely take the opportunity to cause trouble.
But he didnt care at all.
If it werent for his grandma, he wouldnt want Horton Group even if it was handed to him for free!
Was it just three percent of the shares?
He said, I
No,
Keira interrupted him, assertively stepping in front of him. Want shares? No way! We are not giving them!
Nathan flew into a rage. What did you say? You ungrateful wretch!

This time, even Mr. Horton was angry. Lewiss wife, you, you really disappoint me! If you wont give, I will!

A look of pleasure crossed Olivers face upon hearing
this.
The reason Lewis held fifty-three percent of the
shares was that Mr. Horton, out of respect for old Mrs. Horton, had entrusted his shares to Lewis to manage!
Regardless of who gave the shares, their stake would be even
But upon hearing this, Keira said, You dont need to give
Mr. Horton was visibly angry, glaring at her, Youve all grown up and dont need Grandma anymore, but I still need my sister-in-law! What, I cant even make
decisions about my own shares now?!
Then, he turned to Lewi., Lewis, is what your wi also your opinion?
Of course not.
Keira hadnt told Lewis before making this decision.
But Lewis looked at Keira, and seeing her calm
demeanor without knowing what she was planning

simply nodded. Yes.
You Mr. Horton stood up, trembling with anger. Lewis, you have depended on your grandma since you were young, and just for a little bit of money, youre going to give her up? Youve truly disappointed me!
Nathan added fuel to the fire. Uncle, Ive told you before, he is worse than a beast!
Just as Oliver was about to say something, the butler rushed in from outside, exclaiming, Bad news!
Everyone turned to look at him, What happened?
The butler said, Someone outside claiming to be Corey Mills has arrived, saying, saying hes the Dean of the Clance Research Institute!
