My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

55 Relationship

Keira and Lewis arrived at the Horton Group in his Bentley.

As they got out of the car, Lewis suddenly asked, “Will Samuel Morgan arrive on time?”

Keira replied, “I think so.”

Lewis pursed his lips and continued. “Actually, I have some information about Samuel Morgan. I’ll tell

you after we deal with today’s matters.”

He planned to tell her about Samuel Morgan’s womanizing behavior.

The agony of elongated pain was worse than a moment’s suffering.

Keira glanced at him, surprised. “Alright.”

She got out of the car and walked toward the elevator.

Just as she reached the elevator, she overheard a few colleagues whispering.

“Did you hear? Someone was caught stealing ideas

from the Research and Development Department!”

“Who? Someone’s really crossing the line! How

audacious!”

“I heard it was the new intern. They must have some connections in the company to dare do such a

thing.”

“What kind of connections?”

Someone pointed upward. “I heard it’s related to him, hence they placed the intern in Jalen Riley’s

group…”

“That guy is domineering and forceful. The higher-ups have been on their toes for the past month. He

wouldn’t blatantly protect his intern, right? Isn’t he worried about leaving a bad impression by mixing

personal affairs with work?”

“Well, I heard that guy was spoiled by Old Mrs. Horton. When he was a kid in Oceanion, he was like a

little tyrant. After so many years, showing bias to an intern wouldn’t mean anything to him, right?”

“The company has its rules and regulations. If he acts recklessly, won’t it cause public outrage?”

“He’s young. He doesn’t care about these things…”

“Isn’t Jake younger? But look at the people he hired for the company. Dr. South is a leading figure in

the new energy industry! Now, look at the intern of that guy. Comparing both sides, it’s evident that

Jake Horton is more reliable…”

“Absolutely, like father like son. His father, Mr. Horton Senior, was always strict with himself and lenient

with others. Speaking of which, Mr. Horton Senior worked his way up diligently from the grassroots…”

“Why didn’t he get that position? Why was it taken by

that man?”

Keira hadn’t planned to pay these people any attention. After all, she found herself in an awkward

predicament and realized that people were bound to talk about her behind her back.

But she hadn’t expected that the conversation would shift toward Lewis Horton.

She narrowed her eyes.

Having been working since middle school, she wasn’t

really an office rookie, so, she immediately inferred

that someone was fueling the fire behind the scenes and planned to drag Lewis into the mud!

She recognized the person who had initiated the topic.

It was Arian O’neil, a researcher from Group Two and a henchman of Jake Horton.

Keira remembered the news Samuel Morgan had helped her look up….

The first branch of the Horton family wanted to seize power back.

She could sense the tension between Lewis and the first branch of the family during her last visit there.

Jake wanted to use this issue to stir up public opinion. Even if it couldn’t inflict any real harm on Lewis,

it could still undermine his reputation in the company.

Keira scoffed.

She stepped forward and spoke casually, “It’s fine if you gossip about me, but shouldn’t you check for

any surveillance cameras around before spreading rumors

about the boss?”

As soon as she said this, the group of people immediately raised their heads to check their

surroundings.

Seeing no surveillance cameras, they breathed a sigh of relief and then realized they had been played.

Everyone turned toward Keira. “Who are you?”

Before Keira could say anything, Arian said, “Let me introduce her to you. She’s the new intern from

the research and development department.”

Arian smirked and said, “Miss Olsen must be close to Mr. Horton. The crime of stealing ideas is a

significant one, and now that all evidence is complete, she still has the nerve to show up at work as if

nothing happened…”

With that said, everyone turned their gaze toward Keira, their brows furrowing

All of them were office workers. If their hard work was stolen one day, they would undoubtedly be

outraged.

However, Keira wasn’t intimidated by these glances but rather asked, somewhat puzzled, “I’m close to

Horton?”

Arian immediately said, “You’re not going to deny it, are you? It was Mr. Davis who personally escorted

you to the R&D department. Our team members all saw it.”

As he said this, he sighed, pretending to offer consolation. “Even if Mr. Horton is backing you, you

shouldn’t have stolen Dr. South’s concepts. Do you know the significance of Dr. South to the R&D

department? Our Vice President Jake Horton invited him over, spending great efforts and resources to

make a huge contribution to the R&D department. If this incident makes Dr. South leave, even Mr.

Horton

couldn’t bear the wrath of the entire R&D department,

could he?”

Everyone around nodded instantly.

But Keira suddenly laughed, “You got it wrong. I’m just an acquaintance of Mr. Horton. He has always

kept a low profile and didn’t make a fuss about hiring me for the company…”

Arian was startled, “What did I get wrong?”

Just then, the elevator arrived, and the group of people

walked in.

They didn’t notice that Lewis and Tom were approaching from a distance and had heard their

conversation.

While Lewis didn’t show any change in expression, Tom’s face immediately dropped!

As expected, someone was using Keira’s situation to scheme against his boss!

But at this point, Keira didn’t try to avoid suspicion. Instead, she brought the attention back toward his

boss!

It was just too outrageous!

Tom couldn’t help but say angrily, “Boss, did you hear? She’s openly claiming that she’s connected to

you! Everybody knows about her relationship with you now. What good would this do for her? She’s so

stupid!”

After saying this, he said, “Boss, I think you really shouldn’t get involved with her matter. Everybody

knows about your relationship with her now. If you still choose to protect her, in everybody’s eyes, you’ll

become a despotic ruler who disregards justice!”

Lewis narrowed his eyes.

His stern expression didn’t change. He looked ahead and said lightly, “Only the weak are swayed by

opinions.”

Leaving these words behind, he straightened his clothes and strode into the exclusive elevator for

CEOS.

Tom followed him into the elevator, only to hear him speak with authority, “Go to the Administrative

Department.”

Tom should’ve known that Lewis’s decision wouldn’t

change!

Tom pressed the button reluctantly and sighed to

himself.

It’s no wonder that everyone made those comparisons.

The R&D department was the core of the company, and many people kept an eye on it.

In the past month, the R&D department had taken in two people.

One was Dr. South, Jake’s connection.

The other was Keira, the boss’s associate.

The two were worlds apart.

Tom inhaled deeply!

If Dr. South were Lewis’s connection, then Lewis would surely win this battle in a splendid way!!

Ding!

The elevator arrived.

The curtain was officially raised on this case of stolen

plans!
