Tom was on the verge of exploding with anger!
Jake had done nothing and yet he was appointed as the director? Based on
what?!
But he understood that at this crucial stage of
cooperation, such a request for the Horton Group was just a small matter!
With so many executives watching, such a minor job transfer would inevitably be
agreed to by Lewis!
How frustrating!
What was wrong with this Frankie Allen?! Even if the Davis family harbored
resentment against the Horton family back then, shouldn't it be aimed at the first
branch of the family? Why was he always against
Lewis?!
Lewis's expression was calm. He had always been cool-minded, and his piercing
gaze fixed on Frankie Allen. Slowly he said, “If I don’t agree, won't Mr. Allen sign
the deal?”
His interrogatory statement quieted the room
1/9
instantly.
Lewis looked indifferent.
There were many people from the Horton Group in
the conference room, all of whom could bring pressure
on Lewis.
But there were also plenty of people from the Allen family!
If the cooperation was canceled because of the unreasonable requirement
proposed by Frankie Allen, he would face the company’s pressure too.
Now it was merely a test of each side's patience.
The one who couldn't hold out would lose.
After a long while, Lewis still appeared calm. Frankie Allen was left with no
choice but to speak up, “Of course not, Mr. Horton. Maybe you misunderstood.
This is just my personal proposal.”
The chill around Lewis seemed to fade a bit. “Let’s sign the contract first. Jake
will be responsible for the future cooperation.”
Once Jake got things done, there would be a reason for his promotion to director.
This was a verbal

promise that Lewis gave to Frankie Allen.
Both sides were large corporate groups. Frankie Allen took a step back, and
Lewis didn’t want to be overly aggressive.
Frankie nodded, signed the two contracts, and
stamped them. Thus, the cooperation officially took
effect.
Frankie stood up and extended a hand to Lewis, “Mr. Horton, happy working with
you.”
Lewis looked at him indifferently without saying a word, showing that he was still
dissatisfied with the commotion that Frankie had recently stirred up.
Seeing this, Frankie Allen waved his hand to dismiss the assistants in the
conference room. After the room
was left with two people, he turned to Lewis, trying to explain. “Don’t get me
wrong. My actions weren't instigated by my aunt. I owed Isla Olsen a favor. I just
had to fight for some benefits for Jake.”
Upon hearing this, Lewis stood up. “No need to explain. I'm not interested in her.”
Frankie frowned. “My sister was humiliated in the
hospital and almost lost her life Isla Olsen protected

her and called me, saving my sister. I have to repay this
debt.”
Lewis's eyes narrowed, colder than before. Without another word, he walked out
the door.
Tom followed him. “Boss, we just discussed with the people from the Allen
Family. There will be a celebratory banquet tomorrow night. I inquired just now,
and Frankie Allen will come. I heard that his parents have also arrived in
Oceanion and will attend
then.”
Upon hearing this, Lewis narrowed his eyes, “I see.”
Frankie Allen’s mother was that woman's younger
sister, his own aunt.
Tom continued. “There’s one problem, your date.
Should we find one from the secretariat, or should we
ask Miss Olsen?”
Lewis expressed plainly, “She probably doesn't like such events, forget it.”
It meant that he didn’t need a date.
Tom nodded in acknowledgment.
But he was taken aback shortly after.
70 It's Her
If it were in the past, the boss would have reprimanded him for being too talkative
as soon as he heard the name “Miss Olsen”. Now he was saying that she didn’t
like the occasion?
It seems like the boss's attitude toward Miss Olsen has
changed.
Keira didn’t feel any change.
After all, when Lewis returned from work, he was still wearing a gloomy face as if
someone owed him a
fortune.
Even when the puppy raised its head and wagged its tail to greet him, the man
didn’t even give it a glance.
Keira pretended she didn't see it and continued th her work, wrapping up her
drug research.
These days, she had thoroughly understood the neurology data borrowed from
the Horton Grou problem she encountered in her research now ha solution, so
she could now create the clinical drug Alzheimer’s disease soon.
Old Mrs. Horton had been very anxious since Keira wasn’t going to work
anymore. She wanted the couple
to foster their relationship more and initially intended
70 it's Her
to talk to Lewis after work to take his wife out to see a concert or have a meal or
something...
But looking at his face, she couldn't help but comment, “He must have had a
tough day at work.”
She turned to Tom and asked, “Did he encounter any difficulty?”
When Lewis went to wash his hands in the bathroom, Tom couldn’t help but say,
“It's still that Frankie Allen. I don’t know what's wrong with him. He is always
against the boss and tries to promote young Mr.
Horton...”
Keira raised her eyebrows.
Had Tom forgotten that old Mrs. Horton was also Jake's great-grandmother?
He was talking like this in front of the old lady...
But to her surprise, old Mrs. Horton snorted, “How come I didn’t know that there
was a relationship. between the Allen family and Jake? How did they connect?
Doesn't Jake really know that the Allen fami has reservations about his uncle?
Wait, shouldn't the Allen family hate the first branch?”

Her expression clearly showed that she was unhesitatingly standing on Lewis's
side.
Tom snorted, “Who knows what's going on? It's a shame that the Allen family
doesn’t have a proper
relationship with us but is getting all cozy with the first
branch!”
Old Mrs. Horton pursed her lips. “Didn't you go to see Allen’s younger daughter
at the hospital today? Wasn't the relationship reconciled a bit? Seeing her own
nephew, didn’t Mrs. Allen show any emotions?”
Tom sighed. “We didn’t meet them. They said the patient wasn't well.”
Old Mrs. Horton was very dissatisfied. “Even if her condition isn’t good, shouldn't
they let us see her? Once you think about it, they aren't close to us and haven't
tried to make an effort! Actually, some relative are easy to get along with once the
ice is broken.”
The old lady had thought it through.
After all, it was her son who failed Lewis's mother back
then, so it was natural for the Davis family to hate
them.

Lewis, who had just washed his hands, came out of the bathroom and heard this.
His gaze grew cold, but he immediately followed up with a question, “Do you
know the Allen family?”
Keira nodded, “Yes, I did them a small favor earlier.”
A small favor...
Lewis suddenly realized something. “So, it was you
who saved his sister?”
Keira was surprised. “How do you know?”
