My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire!

Chapter 483
In the study room.

….
Tom was earnestly persuading Lewis. “Boss, actually, forcing them to cooperate with Miss Olsen is really simple. There’s no need to go down the acquisition route. When we established our overseas power, you once said you wouldn’t lay hands on any Crera enterprise. Besides, you don’t even care for such petty domestic affairs, so why trouble yourself with this unprofitable business?”

Lewis said indifferently, “The Horton Group has come to Clance, and the balance of power contested by the five great families of Clance has been broken. Destroying the Gill family would also smooth the way for the Horton family to become one of the five major families.”

Tom curled his lip. “Stop making excuses! What’s wrong with having six major families?”

Lewis glanced at the computer. “I think five sounds better than six.”

Tom was dumbfounded. He thought, “You’re clearly doing this for Miss Olsen! Still making up excuses!”

Originally, they had planned to gradually acquire the company, but because Helen suddenly came to the South residence and took Keira away to apologize to Lady Gill, Lewis grew impatient.

Tom was about to continue when the door was suddenly pushed open, and Keira walked in.

Just moments ago, Lewis had a cool and detached air, but the moment she entered, he instantly transformed into a gentle and refined gentleman, standing up and asking, “Why are you back so late? Are you tired?”

After that, his tone turned cold as he asked indifferently, “Did the Gill family give you any trouble?”

Keira waved her hand. “No, they’re too busy being grateful to me right now. How could they give me any trouble?”

Lewis was slightly taken aback. “What?”

Keira then recounted her entire day, from how she discovered Nara’s jade pendant could be related to the Gill family, to seeking out Matias for questioning, finding Nara, heading to the hospital rooftop, and proving Nara’s identity.

In the end, she couldn’t help but remark, “I saw that both Lady Gill and Austin had unsightly expressions on their faces. After all, the daughter and sister whom they’ve cherished from childhood has now been humiliated by them. They must be filled with regret at this moment.”

Lewis asked, “So, you’ve settled the cooperation with the Gill family now?”

“Yes, I’ve already given them the contract. I reckon the deal will be closed within the next couple of days…”

After Keira said that, she received a phone call. She picked it up and found out it was from the head of the Nora Research Institute. “Director Nora, the Gill Group has suddenly deposited six billion in advance to our company.”

Keira was perplexed. Confused, she said, “Well, just keep it then. They’ll have to give it to us sooner or later.”

“Alright, then I’ll go prompt the Gill Group about the contract tomorrow. What’s with this situation? We haven’t even signed the contract, but the money has already been transferred…”

After the phone call ended, Keira slightly shook her head and then stretched lazily. “I’m going to take a shower.”

It had been quite a busy day!

Once Keira had gone to the bedroom, Tom’s voice came through the computer, “Boss, do you still think that six sounds better than five?”

Lewis said, “Get lost.”

“Got it, I’ll inform them now to cancel the sanctions against the Gill Group.”

Lewis switched off the laptop without hesitation, abruptly ending the chat with his subordinate.

At the Gill residence.

The eldest and the second sons of the Gill family rushed back from out of town, asking, “What’s going on? Why is our group being sanctioned?!”

“Yeah, who did we offend? Why have several of our overseas partners stopped all collaboration with us?”

“We still haven’t received the news domestically, but some friends abroad have tipped me off that starting tonight, there will be individuals shorting our stock and acquiring our company!”

“Who is the other party exactly? They’re so elusive…”

“Where are Mom and Austin? Why aren’t they home?”

As a group of people were engaged in heated discussion, the eldest son of the Gill family suddenly received a phone call. He answered, and the voice of a business partner came through. “Mr. Gill, it was a misunderstanding! That was all!”

The eldest son was stunned. “What?”

The person on the other end began to speak. “We made a mistake. The big shot we thought was targeting you isn’t after you at all, so it’s all been a misunderstanding! They’ve verbally canceled the sanctions against you! Our cooperation can continue as before!”

All members of the Gill family were speechless. What the hell was going on?! Was someone making fun of them?

The Gill family felt as if the sky was about to fall, yet suddenly there was light at the end of the tunnel, none of which were Lewis’s concern. Even if it meant scaring them, it didn’t matter. That was the punishment for what they did to Keira!

That evening, Lewis held Keira from behind when they were lying on the soft bed, whispering to each other. “So, Ellis was really set up?”

Keira nodded. “Yes, but I’ve checked it out. The three doctors who conducted the examination for him didn’t have any contact with each other. He found three people who wouldn’t intentionally give a false result at the same time, yet it still happened. Don’t you find that strange? Why would people in the medical industry all tell the same lie?”

Lewis’s eyes became brooding, and he suddenly looked down and said, “Did you know that in this world, there are actually technology monopolies?”

Keira was startled and looked at him.

Lewis said lightly, “There are many unknown organizations and clubs in the world. Their purpose is to monopolize the technology of the entire planet. As long as they have the highest level of technology in a particular industry under their control, they are akin to the king of that industry!”

Keira pursed her lips. “You mean to say that there’s such an organization in the medical industry, and their ‘king’ has ordered that Ellis must be diagnosed with azoospermia. So, all the doctors in the world don’t dare to defy that order?”

Lewis nodded. “That’s a possibility.”

Keira then said, “I think what you’re saying is probably right.”

The South family was so mysterious. She and Uncle Olsen had searched all over the planet for so long without finding a single clue. This suggested there really were many capable people in the world. While ordinary people lived their day-to-day lives, many geniuses were hidden in the shadows controlling the economic development and technological progress of the entire planet…

Both Keira and Lewis were lost in wild thoughts when Lewis’s phone suddenly rang.

He answered, and Old Mrs. Horton’s voice came through. “Brat, I’m already in Clance. When are you coming to see me?”

Upon hearing this, Lewis smiled softly, his eyes tenderly fixed on Keira. “Grandma, I’ll be there.”

Old Mrs. Horton responded with a grunt. “Brat, how come I’ve heard that you’re engaged again? This time to the legitimate daughter of the Olsen family? How can you do this? It’s been less than half a year since your wife passed away, and you’re getting engaged to someone else. Aren’t you afraid of hurting her?”

Lewis was momentarily stunned, then let out a wry laugh, and after a while, he replied, “Grandma, she won’t be sad because she would want me to get engaged to Miss Olsen more than anyone else.”

As he said this, he leaned in close to Keira’s ear.

Keira gave him a fierce stare.

Old Mrs. Horton, however, sighed with a tinge of pique in her voice. “Brat, your late wife would certainly hope that you could move on quickly, but you shouldn’t be using that excuse. I heard you were living with that woman and even acting as her personal driver… When you were with Keira, you never acted so attentive, did you?”

Lewis didn’t know what to say.

He coughed and said, “Grandma, what’s with the personal attack?”

“I don’t care! You’re whipped! And one more thing, I’m telling you, I won’t acknowledge your engagement to that woman! In my eyes, I only have one grand-daughter-in-law!”

Old Mrs. Horton’s words carried a seemingly petulant note.

Yet Lewis suddenly laughed. “Grandma, how about I let Miss Olsen talk to you?”

With that, he moved the phone to Keira’s ear.
