Chapter 228: Chapter 228 Chapter 228: Chapter 228 As soon as she spoke, everyone turned to look at her.
Mr. Horton directly opened his mouth, “What do you mean? Can the medicine from Clance be bought and sold now p>
“Of course not p>
Oliver released a sigh of relief, “If it can’t be bought, the third medicine was taken away by the police as evidence, so where could another one come from p>
Keira then looked towards Corey.
Actually, she hadn’t thought of an excuse and didn’t know how to explain the situation, so she had avoided bringing it up until now.
However, such matters were enough for Corey to handle.
Indeed, Corey immediately stepped forward with a smile and didn’t disappoint as he began, “It’s like this, Miss Olsen had previously sent us old Mrs. Horton’s case file to our research institute. To tell the truth, an 86-year-old person, taking more medicine wouldn’t have much effect. They could only live for two more years at most. Under normal circumstances, we would not allocate a quota to someone of this age. But p>
Corey drew out his words, “Miss Olsen has my phone number, she called me every day, pleading earnestly, and her filial piety was touching. Miss Olsen’s character is truly too rare. Miss Olsen is really like an orchid’s pure heart, gentle and virtuous, a wise wife and good mother p>
Keira saw that he was praising her too much and even intending to continue, she immediately coughed and gave him a wary glance.
Corey immediately understood her meaning and promptly curtailed his remarks, “In short, I was moved by Miss Olsen’s filial piety, so I applied to Nora Researcher. Nora Researcher thought that the age of 86 also had research value, so our institute decided to give old Mrs. Horton a quota p>
This statement caused everyone to widen their eyes in shock!
Mr. Horton couldn’t believe what he was seeing and awkwardly addressed Keira, “Lewis’s wife, this is really… Why didn’t you mention it earlier? I even misunderstood you as being unfilial, but it turns out you’ve put in so much effort p>
Keira: p>
Cough.
Before Corey mentioned the reason, she herself didn’t even know!
Old Mrs. Horton also immediately said, “Second brother, I told you that you were too hasty. Kiera is the granddaughter-in-law I am most satisfied with. She couldn’t possibly harm me p>
Mr. Horton then sat down beside her, “Now I really believe it. Big sister, you chose a good daughter-in-law for Lewis p>
The two of them laughed merrily together.
On the other hand, Oliver and Nathan’s faces turned ashen.
Lewis stared at them, “Dad, big brother, just now you didn’t listen to explanations and scolded Kiera harshly here, now shouldn’t you apologize to her p>
Nathan choked.
Oliver sighed, “Lewis, if you had explained things clearly from the beginning, it wouldn’t have led to such a misunderstanding… Keira getting the quota is a good thing, why keep it a secret p>
Nathan immediately snorted coldly, finding an excuse to be difficult, “Right, did you deliberately not clarify things? If you got the quota, just say so. What’s the point of being secretive, is it fun to play us for fools p>
Was he pushing the blame onto them?
Keira felt speechless.
But Lewis looked at Selena, his gaze lowered as he said, “If we hadn’t done this, how would I have known that your precious granddaughter, big brother’s illegitimate daughter, still harbors thoughts of wanting shares p>
Keira nodded, “Selena, if you wanted shares just say it outright. Why be secretive? Is it fun to play with your father and grandfather p>
Nathan:?
Why does that sound so familiar?
Oliver Horton also tensed his jaw.
Selena Horton felt her face turning incredibly ugly, but she quickly snapped back to reality, bowing her head and beginning to cry, “I’m about to marry into the Cobb family, yet my family hasn’t prepared any dowry for me. I just feel so embarrassed… And now my cousin is involved because of me, I don’t even know how to explain this to the Cobb family! Forget it, this marriage was me reaching above my station anyway, I won’t marry p>
Leaving these words behind, she put on an expression of humiliated anger and ran out, sobbing.
Nathan Horton said anxiously, “How can she not marry? Oliver, you must go and coax Selena, this is a great opportunity for the Horton Family to form an alliance with the Cobb family, tell her that she will definitely get shares from the family p>
Oliver doted on this daughter the most, and since her return, she had suppressed both Lewis Horton and Keira Olsen.
At least before today, she had even taken control of old Mrs. Horton’s courtyard.
So he immediately chased after her.
Lewis Horton and Keira Olsen exchanged glances; leaving Mr. Horton and Old Mrs. Horton to chat, they also made their way out.
As soon as they stepped out, they saw Selena Horton tearfully packing in her room, looking like she had been wronged, speaking to Oliver, “Dad, I just can’t face staying here any longer, I’m moving out right now p>
After saying that, she picked up two large suitcases and walked towards the door.
But she was stopped by Lewis Horton and Keira Olsen blocking her path.
Selena looked at them pitifully, “Uncle, Aunt, I know I was wrong before, but even leaving now isn’t allowed? Do I really have to kneel and apologize p>
Keira Olsen said, “There’s no need for that p>
Selena promptly bowed her head and turned to leave from beside them.
But once again, Keira Olsen blocked her path.
Looking puzzled at Keira, Selena heard her say, “You can go, but leave grandmother’s things p>
Selena Horton: p>
A flash of hatred passed through her eyes.
She had deliberately played the victim to escape, even quickly grabbing luggage that had already been packed to leave, in the hopes of taking everything she pilfered from old Mrs. Horton.
But she hadn’t expected they would discover this.
In a wronged tone, she looked at Keira Olsen, “Aunt, I don’t know what you’re talking about, everything in this suitcase is my own stuff! I know you don’t like me, but are you really going to inspect my suitcases p>
Keira Olsen simply laughed, “Or perhaps I should call the police? To report grandmother’s missing items? I remember there’s a bracelet, right? That bracelet is worth millions p>
Clenching her fists, Selena said with a smile, “Ah, sorry, I must have accidentally packed it in p>
Then she opened the suitcase, not daring to fully open it, and sneakily took out the bracelet.
At that moment, Fiona, who had just brought the Pomeranian back from the vet, arrived.
Keira Olsen immediately called out, “Fiona~ You’re familiar with grandmother’s things, come and help Miss Selena check, so she doesn’t accidentally pack grandmother’s items in her luggage again p>
Fiona’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, completely shedding her previous dejection and walking over with swagger, “Miss Selena, please open your suitcases p>
Selena Horton: p>
Keira Olsen, with her arms crossed, watched from a distance as the tables turned, the frustration she felt yesterday fully avenged today, truly satisfying!
As she was contemplating, Lewis Horton suddenly turned his head and spoke in a deep voice, “Feel better now, Nora Researcher p>
Keira Olsen: p>
