Chapter 665
Old Mrs. Horton certainly wasn’t senile and flatly refused: “No p>
A few people immediately looked at her in surprise.
Nathan Horton couldn’t help but speak up: “Mom, didn’t you say that as long as Jake got married, you would give him shares? Why aren’t you keeping your word now p>
Old Mrs. Horton straightforwardly replied: “The shares I hold are mine to give to whomever I wish. I am old, don’t I even have this much autonomy left p>
Nathan Horton immediately frowned: “Mom, you can’t be too biased. Lewis Horton almost occupies half of the company’s shares all by himself! The first branch of the family and I are also your kin p>
Old Mrs. Horton snorted: “I founded the Horton Family business, and I’ll say it again: my shares are mine to give to whoever I want p>
Nathan Horton wanted to say more, but Oliver Horton couldn’t help bursting into tears: “Granny, I know you don’t like me, and it’s because of my mom, but she’s dead now. How can you still blame me for that? No matter what, I’m still your eldest grandson! By treating me this way, do you wish for my death p>
He started to wipe away his tears: “You don’t know, after Horton Group moved to Clance, everyone looked down on me, just because the company was under Lewis’s management, and I, the nominal eldest brother, had no say! I don’t want to make things difficult for Lewis, but as an elder, you shouldn’t be so biased p>
He directly spoke up: “Don’t forget, when you fainted that year, I was the first to discover you and took you to the hospital. You suddenly had a heart attack, and the doctors said it was fortunate we were in time to perform a stent procedure; otherwise, if delayed, you wouldn’t have survived. Granny, are all our past affections as grandparent and grandchild fake p>
Old Mrs. Horton was left speechless by his words.
She looked at Oliver Horton.
What he was talking about did indeed happen p>
Oliver Horton was only brought back at the age of fourteen and had grown up outside the Horton Family. After he came to the Horton Family, he was always on tenterhooks, trying hard to please everyone around him.
Towards her, his grandmother, he also made a great effort to ingratiate himself.
After all, he was her blood grandson, and he was young. Old Mrs. Horton did have compassion for him and was quite nice to him at first. It was only later, when she saw Lewis Horton lying in the ICU with tubes all over his body, that her compassion waned.
Since then, she had harbored no fondness for Oliver Horton, and thus she kept her distance, up until her sudden illness. She had not expected Oliver Horton to send her to the hospital without hesitation!
As she was reflecting on this, Lewis Horton had just come downstairs from the upper floor, apparently having heard this conversation as well. He immediately looked toward Old Mrs. Horton, anxiously asking, “Granny, when did you have a heart attack? Why didn’t I know about it? Why didn’t anyone tell me p>
Old Mrs. Horton patted his hand: “You were studying abroad at the time, I didn’t want you to worry, so I didn’t mention it. Besides, isn’t granny doing well now p>
However, a hint of fear flashed through Lewis Horton’s eyes.
If granny had passed away at that time, he feared what might have become of him p>
With that thought, Oliver Horton spoke up: “Granny, I am your blood grandson, and my son is your great-grandson, also the first great-grandchild of our Horton Family. Can you really bear to give us nothing? Not even one percent of the shares? We won’t mind how little it is p>
The Horton Group had moved to Clance, and Lewis Horton had diluted five percent of its shares, activating the Horton Group’s stock.
As a result, Lewis Horton’s shareholdings, which originally supported more than half of the company, were now insufficient.
Also, the shareholding structure of the Horton Group was somewhat odd. Aside from the various large shareholders, whose identities Lewis Horton knew, there was one shareholder holding ten percent of the Horton Group whose identity no one knew.
Therefore, in the current Horton Group, the struggle for even one percent of the shares was very important.
Old Mrs. Horton looked toward Oliver Horton and sighed.
Oliver Horton immediately stepped forward and knelt in front of Old Mrs. Horton: “Granny, please show some affection for your grandson. For the sake of saving your life, please cherish me p>
Old Mrs. Horton tightened her facial expression.
Keira Olsen knew that Old Mrs. Horton was also in a difficult position now.
Her favoritism within the Horton Family was indeed unjustified.
Nathan Horton and Oliver Horton had actually always been quite filial to her. She just felt sorry for Lewis Horton for losing his mother at an early age p>
Old Mrs. Horton took a deep breath, at a loss for words for a moment.
Lewis Horton also looked at Oliver Horton, frowning.
Saving granny’s life, and with Jake Horton’s wife coming from such a good background, it seemed irrational not to give him the shares p>
Just as the scene was at a stalemate, Keira Olsen suddenly stood up.
She smiled and spoke to Jake Horton: “I heard your previous wife is still in the asylum p>
Originally, Uncle Olsen sent Isla Olsen directly to the mental hospital as a punishment, and she is still alive!
Jake Horton was taken aback and nodded.
Keira Olsen then looked at him: “So, have you divorced her? And now you’re discussing marriage here p>
