Chapter 52 -52
Lewis Horton narrowed his eyes.
“What identity?”
The identity of Samuel Morgan’s girlfriend?
In that instant, he pieced the whole matter together in his mind.
This woman wouldn’t steal the plan, and since the solution was too complex, Jalen Riley said that no one in the industry except Dr. South would be able to complete it in such a short time, so…
The plan that Keira Olsen had must have been given by Samuel Morgan! But Samuel Morgan didn’t inform Dr. South; otherwise, Dr. South wouldn’t have sent it to Jake Horton again, leading to this misunderstanding.
...
Business matters are complicated. Why would Samuel Morgan take Dr. South’s plan without him knowing? And would he really clarify things for Keira Olsen?
Lewis Horton asked uncertainly, “Are you sure he will come?”
“Of course.”
“You trust him that much?”
“Yes.”
When has Samuel Morgan ever dared to disobey Keira Olsen’s orders?
Her self-assured demeanor made Lewis Horton suddenly feel a bit irritable, feeling like the girl in front of him was love-struck.
He suddenly said, “Miss Olsen, don’t forget that legally, we are still husband and wife. I don’t want to hear any scandalous rumors.”
Keira Olsen: ?
She looked at the man in slight astonishment, not understanding why he would suddenly say that.
Seeing her reaction, Lewis Horton felt even more irritated.
He loosened his tie and said gravely, “During the duration of our marriage, I hope you will remain chaste.”
Leaving those words behind, he strode into the hospital room.

Keira Olsen: ???
Did that man have an unsuccessful meeting today? Why the sudden mood swings, saying things that are simply nonsensical.
Without overthinking it, she followed him into the hospital room to accompany Old Mrs. Horton.
Outside the suite.
Lewis Horton looked at Tom Davis, “Check on Samuel Morgan.”
“Yes.”
Tom Davis was very efficient with his tasks, and within half an hour, he had gathered all of Samuel Morgan’s information, “Boss, I sent it to your phone.”
Lewis Horton opened the file on his phone and saw the basic information about Samuel Morgan.
He was 27 this year, a graduate of high merit from Cambridge University, and became Dr. South’s agent three years ago, managing the company for him. He had been diligent and cautious in his work over the past three years, and now the company was preparing to go public.
Lewis Horton continued to scroll down, only to find that there was nothing more.
He frowned slightly, “Is this it?”
Tom Davis looked blank; he had even dug out Samuel Morgan’s university transcripts – did the boss still think it wasn’t enough?
He asked in confusion, “What are you looking for?”
Lewis Horton said indifferently, “His personal conduct.”
“…”
Tom Davis’s mouth fell open in surprise, but he quickly composed himself and said, “I’ll look into it right away.”
Another half hour later, Tom Davis’s information came through to Lewis Horton’s phone again.
He was generous, changing girlfriends every three months, with ex-girlfriends all praising him to no end.
Currently, he was also vaguely involved with multiple women, far from being a qualified boyfriend.
Thinking of Keira Olsen’s trust in him, Lewis Horton sneered, taking out his phone as he stood up to walk into the hospital room, ready to show her the evidence!
But to his surprise, just as he entered, he saw his grandmother wearing reading glasses and flipping through a dictionary while the woman was squatting on the ground playing with a dog.
The small Shiba Inu looked up at her, wagging its tail vigorously.
And the woman wore a full-faced smile.
She looked stunningly beautiful. Her smile had a breathtaking quality to it, resembling the world’s most pure and pristine landscape—one that people wouldn’t want to disrupt.
His footsteps faltered slightly, and he gripped his phone a bit tighter.
Should he tell her this cruel truth?
Lewis Horton found himself in a dilemma for a moment.
“What’s wrong?”
Old Mrs. Horton suddenly spoke up, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
Lewis Horton pursed his lips and turned off his phone screen, “Nothing.”
But Old Mrs. Horton didn’t buy it, “You’ve been staring at your grandson’s wife for so long, how can it be nothing? Do you have something you want to say to her?”
Upon hearing this, Keira Olsen looked up with a piercing gaze toward him.
Lewis Horton: ?
He felt a flush of heat rush to his face and quickly averted his gaze, coughing, “…Grandma, you look very spirited. Maybe you can be discharged from the hospital.”
No sooner had he spoken, than the spirited Old Mrs. Horton immediately clutched at her chest, feigning weakness, “Brat, I still feel a pain in my chest.”
If she were to be discharged from the hospital, how could she keep her grandson and his wife living together?
Then she would be like a child with divorced parents, having to choose sides.
Not like it is now…
She had transformed the ward on the second day of her hospital stay.
There were two comfortable beds in the ward, one for her and the other for her grandson’s wife; and one in the outer living room for the brat to sleep.
It might be a bit cramped, and life might be a bit rougher, but it meant they could see each other day in and day out…
Once they developed feelings for each other, she would take her grandson’s wife back to the Horton Family!
Thinking about this, Old Mrs. Horton chuckled gleefully. Where was any sign of chest pain now?
Lewis Horton: “…”
Keira Olsen: “…”
There were no words exchanged that night.
The next morning, Keira Olsen was reading a neurology book when she suddenly received a call from her senior, Luca Barker, “Junior, you need to come to school quickly! Something has happened to Professor Miller!”
Keira Olsen’s brow furrowed, and she immediately responded, “Alright.”
She stood up with a grave expression and strode out.
She prepared to hail a cab as she went downstairs.
Tom Davis’s voice came from behind her, “Miss Olsen, the boss told me to take you.”
Keira Olsen paused for a moment, without any pretense, “Oceanion University, thank you.”
…
The car had just stopped in front of the teaching building when Keira Olsen jumped out and dashed toward Professor Miller’s office.
The door to Professor Miller’s office was wide open, surrounded by a circle of students eager to see what was going on.
As Keira Olsen burst in, she saw Professor Miller standing there with a red face, glaring angrily at the dean of the Energy School. He said sternly, “A student’s academic status affects their entire life. What gives you the right to expel her on a whim?! Last time, you claimed she had a bad character and dubious origins, and you went over my head to cancel her recommended admission quota. If you don’t provide a reasonable explanation today, you won’t be leaving this building!”
Upon hearing this, Keira Olsen was taken aback.
She had thought something had happened to Professor Miller, but it turned out he was standing up for her?
But… expelled from school?
She turned to look at the dean and saw the potbellied dean speaking gravely, “I just got the news that she has stolen Dr. South’s solution and claimed it as her own. A student like that brings disgrace upon our university’s reputation and must face the consequences!”
Professor Miller exclaimed, “Impossible, Keira Olsen is not that kind of person!”
The dean sneered, “This is the internal information I just received; it can’t be mistaken! Our university is about to invite Dr. South to become a mentor. If we don’t punish her, how will we gain Dr. South’s approval? Do you know how many schools are vying for talent?”
Professor Miller immediately understood, “So it all comes down to Dr. South! But I am her mentor; without my signature, you can’t expel her. I absolutely won’t sign it today!”
The dean became angry, “Miller, how can you be so oblivious to the times! Forget Keira Olsen; even you are no match for Dr. South!”
Upon hearing this, Keira Olsen stepped forward, “Without the teacher, there would be no Dr. South!”
