70 Its 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, shouldnt it be aimed at the first branch of the family? Why was he always against
Lewis?!
Lewiss expression was calm. He had always been cool-minded, and his piercing gaze fixed on Frankie Allen. Slowly he said, If I dont agree, wont 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 companys pressure too.
Now it was merely a test of each sides patience.
The one who couldnt 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. Lets 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 didnt 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. Dont get me wrong. My actions werent instigated by my aunt. I owed Isla Olsen a favor. I just had to fight for some benefits for Jake.
Upon hearing this, Lewis stood up. No need to explain. Im 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. I have to repay this
debt.
Lewiss 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. I inquired just now, and Frankie Allen will come. I heard that his parents have also arrived in Oceanion and will attend
then.
Upon hearing this, Lewis narrowed his eyes, I see.
Frankie Allens mother was that womans younger
sister, his own aunt.
Tom continued. Theres one problem, your date.
Should we find one from the secretariat, or should we
ask Miss Olsen?
Lewis expressed plainly, She probably doesnt like such events, forget it.
It meant that he didnt need a date.
Tom nodded in acknowledgment.
But he was taken aback shortly after.
70 Its 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 didnt like the occasion?
It seems like the bosss attitude toward Miss Olsen has
changed.
Keira didnt 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 didnt even give it a glance.
Keira pretended she didnt 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 Alzheimers disease soon.
Old Mrs. Horton had been very anxious since Keira wasnt going to work anymore. She wanted the couple
to foster their relationship more and initially intended
70 its 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 couldnt 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 couldnt help but say, Its still that Frankie Allen. I dont know whats 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 Jakes great-grandmother?
He was talking like this in front of the old lady
But to her surprise, old Mrs. Horton snorted, How come I didnt know that there was a relationship. between the Allen family and Jake? How did they connect? Doesnt Jake really know that the Allen fami has reservations about his uncle? Wait, shouldnt the Allen family hate the first branch?

Her expression clearly showed that she was unhesitatingly standing on Lewiss side.
Tom snorted, Who knows whats going on? Its a shame that the Allen family doesnt have a proper
relationship with us but is getting all cozy with the first
branch!
Old Mrs. Horton pursed her lips. Didnt you go to see Allens younger daughter at the hospital today? Wasnt the relationship reconciled a bit? Seeing her own nephew, didnt Mrs. Allen show any emotions?
Tom sighed. We didnt meet them. They said the patient wasnt well.
Old Mrs. Horton was very dissatisfied. Even if her condition isnt good, shouldnt they let us see her? Once you think about it, they arent close to us and havent tried to make an effort! Actually, some relative 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 Lewiss mother back
then, so it was natural for the Davis family to hate
them.
15:11
70 Its Her
She resented them previously because Lewiss 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 werent close. The old lady was no longer as strong, and if the Davis family could release some goodwill 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. Whats wrong with the Allen family?
Seeing that she was mumbling to herself, Keira suddenly suggested, Grandma, why dont I intro the two families to each other?
After all, she was Rebecca Allens 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
70 Its Her
Lewis, who had just washed his hands, came out 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, I 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?
