230 Truth Behind the Marriage
Keira suddenly turned her head, looking at Lewis in disbelief.
How did he know?!
Her astonished expression made Lewiss eyes darken slightly as he lowered his gaze. It is indeed you.
Keira was speechless.
She was actually tricked by this guy.
How unfair!
Keira sneered. Since you know, Ill be straight with you. One portion of the medicine is here, and thats
worth three percent of shares. Dont forget to transfer
them!
Okay.
Lewiss response was crisp and straightforward.
Keira was perplexed.
She looked at him in surprise. Really? Youre not even going to bargain?

Lewis took a deep breath and said, Keira, thank you.
Keira felt a bit uncomfortable. For what?
Lewis said indifferently, Noras research project on Alzheimers disease had been stalled and only
restarted this year. I think you must have done it for Grandma, right?
He took Keiras hand. Keira, youre so good to me.
Keira cleared her throat. Dont be so cheesy.
She withdrew her hand. Grandma has been so kind to
me, and I couldnt just stand by and do nothing. Besides, I just wanted to find out the truth about our marriage certificate.
Lewis paused slightly upon hearing this.
He had originally intended to investigate it properly.
But so much time had passed since then without any traces of the past events, and he had almost forgotten
about it.
He asked, Did Grandma remember?
Yeah, she remembered, Keira raised an eyebrow. Impressive medicine, huh?

Impressive.
Lewis was amused by her demeanor, but then he suddenly worried about whether the truth might hurt their relationship.
He hesitated for a moment before asking, Is it still important to you what exactly happened when we got married?
Keira was startled, Of course, its important.
Getting a marriage certificate required the presence of both parties and since both of them had normal
mentality, there was no question of someone standing
in for them.
What exactly happened back then? Could they have been schemed against
Furthermore, considering Keiras special identity,
could it be that Noras identity had been discovered?
Did someone want to use the Horton Family to plot against her?
Her thoughtful look made Lewiss heart sink. So do you still want to divorce now?
They still hadnt discussed the most important issue.

Even though Lewis had publicly acknowledged Keiras identity, he had never made any grand vows of eternal
love.
Lewis was a bit nervous.
Keira also paused slightly when she heard this.
Indeed, she hadnt thought about divorce for a long
time
The matter of the company going public was
constantly being pushed forward by Samuel. Once the
company went public, her role as the chairperson meant she couldnt easily divorce.
Keira coughed, then asked him back, What about
you?
Lewis didnt know how to reply.
He could use Grandma to trap her for a month, but if
there were no real feelings between them, he couldnt trap her for a lifetime.
Especially with the layers upon layers of secrets she
held
The fact that she was Nora was incredibly shocking.

Lewis said, Of course, I dont want to.
What?
Keira didnt hear him clearly.
Lewis was about to repeat himself when Keiras phone
rang.
She picked it up and discovered that the handsome uncle shed added yesterday had sent her a message. Kid, the trick you told me to try yesterday doesnt seem to work very well.
Keira couldnt help but laugh. Whats wrong?
The man wrote, I sent the flowers, but she still ignored me. Should I send something else?
After some thought, Keira then turned her head to Lewis and asked, If you made me mad, how would you
make it up to me?
Lewis was perplexed
After contemplating, he said. Beg for forgiveness? If you dont forgive me, Ill just keep waiting outside your door.
Keira didnt know what to say.

That would definitely not be appropriate for an elder.
She really couldnt rely on Lewis for an answer.
Keira continued to strategize for the man. Why not try sending some jewelry?
The man replied, Ill give it a try.
After putting down her phone, Keira turned her attention back to Lewis. What were you saying just
now?
Lewis was speechless.
He said indifferently, Nothing important.
Meanwhile, Fiona had finished checking Selenas luggage, ultimately not allowing her to take anything.
In the end, Selena left with Oliver, cursing under he
breath.
After the two left the living room, Selena stopped in her tracks and turned to look back at old Mrs. Horton
courtyard.
The grievance and indignation on her face had vanished, replaced with a composed and cool. demeanor.

Oliver said, Selena, the house in the main courtyard has been prepared for you. You cant leave; you need to help me think of a way to snatch the position of head of the family!
Selena nodded calmly.

She asked directly, Dad, this Keira has quite a background.
Why do you say that?
The way Corey Mills was speaking to her was too polite. Somethings off.
Oliver immediately said, She used to be the Olsen familys illegitimate daughter who was just found to have been switched at birth when she was little and
has just been reclaimed Wait. The Clance Olsen family is treating her really well. That Corey Mills might be someone that the Clance Olsen family found for her. Just yesterday, Uncle Olsen said he wanted to acknowledge her as his goddaughter
As Oliver spoke, he began to worry. With your marriage alliance with the Cobb family, the first branch of the family would have the upper hand, but if she
connects with the Olsen family, well lose that

edge!
Upon hearing this, Selena nodded. I understand. Dad,
dont worry. Ill figure out a way.
Oliver breathed a sigh of relief.
His affection for this illegitimate daughter was certainly not born of a fondness for her mother.
After all, in a family like theirs, it was the sons who inherited the business.
It was simply because, from a young age, this daughter
had proven herself to be very smart; following her advice, Oliver always reaped benefits.
The reason he had been able to suppress Lewis into staying abroad until this year was thanks to this daughters suggestions.
It was only because she had gone to Clance for school and wasnt around that Lewis had managed to catch him off guard.
Now, the daughter had returned.
The real challenge was just beginning!

Mr. Horton and old Mrs. Horton seemed to have
endless things to talk about, chatting for a full hour before they parted at the urging of the people from the second branch of the family.
Mr. Horton reluctantly retired to the guest room.
Finally, Keira and Lewis entered old Mrs. Hortons
bedroom.
After sending Fiona to the door to keep watch, Keira turned to old Mrs. Horton and asked, Grandma, are you tired? Should we talk tomorrow instead?
Old Mrs. Horton knew what she was thinking and immediately grasped her hand. Im not tired, and if we dont talk now, Im afraid Ill forget again by morning.
Keira and Lewis sat by her bedside, listening as old Mrs. Horton slowly began to speak
