Nathan immediately waved his hand. “How is that possible? Your shares are supposed to go to the second branch of the family in the future.” 

Now, Mr. Horton finally understood and looked toward 

old Mrs. Horton. 

Nathan decided to speak frankly. “My mom had promised before that when the younger generation in the family gets married, they would all receive shares… When Jake got married, his wife wasn’t good to my mom, so she didn’t give any shares. Now Selena is going to marry into the Cobb family, which is a big deal for our family. Mom, how much are you planning to give Selena?” 

The question was raised in a way that made it hard for anyone to refute! 

Old Mrs. Horton tensed her jaw and furrowed her 

brow. 

After Lewis had cheated Nathan out of two percent of his shares last time, the shares he controlled amounted to fifty-three percent.

If she gave away more than three percent of the shares, it was likely that Lewis would face an uncontrollable situation in the company. 

As old Mrs. Horton agonized over what to do, Lewis said, “Two percent, I think.” 

It was as if he was giving back the two percent that Nathan had given him before! 

However, as soon as he said this, Nathan sneered. “Lewis, in your heart, is your grandmother’s life only worth two percent?” 

Lewis frowned. 

Keira seized the moment to interject. “We are talking about the dowry Selena will take with her when she gets married. What does that have to do with Grandma’s life? Is Selena helping Grandma find medicine just for shares? Can Grandma’s life be measured in shares?” 

Nathan was at a loss for words. 

Oliver glanced at her sharply, having previously 

thought that Lewis’s wife was someone who was more physical and didn’t talk much.

He didn’t expect her to be so sharp-tongued! 

And to think the reserved Lewis ended up marrying 

such a bride. 

Enraged, he gave an annoyed look at Jake, who everyone seemed to have forgotten about, and thought about how he had failed to be more discerning at the time of his marriage. If he had managed to marry Keira, she would have been a great asset to the first branch of the family by now! 

After Nathan and Oliver were left speechless, Selena sighed. “Of course, that’s not what I meant. I heard that our great-grandmother’s illness had worsened, so I pleaded with the Cobb family. It’s just that…” 

She sighed softly, appearing troubled as she spoke, “I’m not really after the family shares, but in order to obtain this medicine, the Cobb family went to great lengths, and Mr. Lee took a huge risk. In the 

Cobb family was promised three percent of t 

shares…”

Her face was filled with bitterness and helplessn “After all, I’m not married to them yet. It’s fine for Cobb family to put in effort, but they shouldn’t have

spend money… So I took it upon myself to say that we, the Horton family, would cover these shares…” 

She looked anxiously at Oliver. “Dad, I know that the Horton family’s shares are not mine to promise, but I was afraid that if we missed this opportunity, there might be no medicine left, so…” 

She lowered her head and let out a sigh. 

Oliver immediately understood her meaning and said, “You did the right thing. Since a promise has been made, we must give these shares. If this three percent can’t come from the family, I’ll provide it personally! It’s the least I can do for my grandmother!” 

Nathan exclaimed angrily, “Nonsense! You already have so few shares! If you give away three percent, how will you stand in the company in the future?” 

He turned to old Mrs. Horton. “Mom, this share shop come from your side. I think no one should have any objections.” 

Old Mrs. Horton sneered. 

The first branch was putting on an act; did they really think she couldn’t see through it?

It’s understandable to pay for medicine, but who 

would give away shares for it? 

It was merely an excuse for the first branch to ask for 

the shares! 

Mr. Horton frowned and said, “Selena, who would use shares to buy medicine? If you say this, not many will believe it, right?” 

Selena immediately looked at Logan Lee, “Mr. Lee is right here, everyone can ask him.” 

Logan cleared his throat. “Mr. Horton, this was indeed my request. You might not know that in Clance, there are just too many people who want to secure a spot from this institute. Among them, there are nobles and tycoons; our director couldn’t afford to offend any of them, so scared that he shrank back and left the selection of the spots to Nora personally!” 

At this point, he smiled bitterly. “Nora is very mysterious, as I’m sure everyone here knows.” 

Everyone nodded in agreement. 

They had all sought medicine for the old Mrs. Horton before, so of course, they understood how difficult it

had met her in person and knew her identity. 

But Corey was tight-lipped. No matter who inquired, he would not tell. 

Nora was impartial and just, choosing the spots strictly based on the cases, with no room for personal feelings. 

Logan continued, “So this spot was actually secured by Dean Mills. I pleaded with him to speak to Nora… In the end, Nora only said about wanting three percent of the shares, hence the terms might seem a bit harsh.” 

Upon hearing this, Mr. Horton immediately believed it. 

Money could make anything happen. 

As for not securing a spot, it was simply because the money offered wasn’t enough! 

Three percent of Horton Group’s shares were worth several hundred million in market value; even those 

elites from Clance might not be willing to buy it. 

To offer such an astronomically high price, probably only the Horton family in Crera would buy it! 

This won’t affect the subsequent selection for spots 

either.
