My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！ C.722 - 721

722 Chapter 721

As soon as those words left Nathan’s mouth, everyone turned to look at old Mrs. Horton.

She glanced at Lewis, then at Oliver, and smiled. “I’ll go along with whatever you decide.”

Oliver immediately beamed. “Granduncle, you heard her, right? Grandma said to go with our plan, so…”

Julius interrupted, “No, what she meant was to listen to me! When she was fully aware, the one she loved most was Lewis. It’s under his leadership that the Horton family has made it this far. Without him, we wouldn’t have even made it to Clance! If my sister were still of sound mind, there’s no way she’d agree to change the will.”

Oliver was starting to panic and shot a look at Nathan.

Nathan didn’t hesitate. “Uncle, we’ve never denied Lewis’s contributions to the family, and we’re grateful for them. But my mother’s will is crucial for us, too. Surely, she didn’t mean to give everything to Lewis without leaving something for us?”

Oliver quickly chimed in. “Exactly! Even if Grandma just gave us 5%—5% out of the 20% of the company shares that Lewis is holding right now—that wouldn’t be unreasonable, would it? She can’t possibly leave nothing for us and give everything to Lewis, right?”

Julius frowned, deep in thought.

At that moment, Julius suddenly asked, “Wait, have you already seen the current will? Is that why you’re pushing for these changes? Are you saying that my sister really didn’t leave you anything?”

Nathan’s expression soured. “Of course, she didn’t leave us anything! After all…”

After all, if they could just secure 5%, they’d surpass Lewis’s stake in the company. Even though 10% of the shares were unaccounted for, the person with the most shares would still have the loudest voice on the board.

Considering how much old Mrs. Horton adored Lewis, there was no way she’d leave anything less than everything to him.

Nathan was deep in thought when Julius spoke again, “Why don’t we go take a look at the will before we make any decisions?”

Nathan waved it off. “What’s the point of looking at it? Let’s just change it already. No need to complicate things.”

Julius sighed. “It’s better to check first.”

He turned to Nathan. “Come with me to the lawyer’s office. Since the will has been officially filed, it’s being kept under their management. They won’t just show it to us. If it’s really unreasonable, I’ll help you draft a new one.”

Nathan frowned but, seeing Julius’s determination, stood up. “Alright, I’ll go.”

Oliver immediately jumped to his feet as well. “I’ll come with you!”

Nathan quickly shot him a look, his gaze shifting between Lewis and Keira Olsen. He then said to Oliver, “You stay here.”

He glanced at Oliver.

Oliver instantly understood what he meant.

If the only people left behind were Marisa and Selena, Keira and Lewis might try something with old Mrs. Horton.

After all, Keira had already used medication to treat old Mrs. Horton’s dementia once. Now, they were preventing further treatment.

If he left as well, Marisa and Selena weren’t officially family members and wouldn’t be able to stop Lewis and Keira from doing anything.

Oliver caught on quickly. “Alright, I’ll stay.”

Nathan turned to Lewis, sneering. “We’ll go look at the will, but don’t try any funny business while we’re gone.”

With that, he helped Julius out the door.

Keira stood to the side, feeling nothing but disdain.

When Nathan spoke to Oliver, he sounded like a doting father, but when addressing Lewis, it was like he was speaking to an enemy.

No wonder Lewis only ever stayed close to his grandmother, having grown up in such a hostile environment.

Keira looked at Lewis and gently took his hand, signaling that he wasn’t alone anymore.

Lewis smiled softly at her before turning his gaze to old Mrs. Horton.

In a low voice, Keira asked, “Did Grandma leave all her shares to you in the will?”

If she had, then the shares Keira had inherited from Lewis’s mother wouldn’t be needed. She wouldn’t have to bring them out and put Lewis in a difficult position.

But if not, then perhaps those shares would need to be used to ensure Lewis maintained his advantage.

Lewis heard her question and lowered his eyes.

After a long pause, he shook his head. “I don’t think so.”

Keira was taken aback.

Lewis said, “Grandma has always been fair. Even though the main branch hasn’t shown her much respect, they haven’t done anything to truly harm her. She wouldn’t leave them with nothing.”

Keira immediately grew anxious. “What are you going to do, then?”

Lewis chuckled, a confident gleam in his eyes. “There’s no rush.”

With a cold smile, he added, “I don’t care about the Horton Group. Why would I care about a few shares?”
