21 The Truth Concerns Her
As Tom finished speaking, Lewis had already opened the divorce agreement sent by Keira on his computer.
He swiftly skimmed through the agreement, his gaze falling on the clause regarding property division.
After seeing its content, he was slightly surprised.
Seeing this, Tom craned his neck to look at his computer screen and snickered. “That woman is so ridiculous. She won’t let you take any of her
properties… What could you possibly take from her? Her personal loan?”
Lewis lowered his gaze and asked, “What else did you
find?”
“Boss, we found that Keira discovered the two of you were married only a few days ago when she and her boyfriend went to register for marriage. It seems that she really sent this divorce agreement to divorce as soon as possible. She doesn’t seem to know
beforehand.”

Tom continued, changing his tone, “But I feel it all seems too deliberate, so we looked into her background and found that there’s a lot we couldn’t find out about her since she left the Olsen family! Boss, doesn’t that strike you as odd? Why would an ordinary person hide her past?”
Lewis narrowed his eyes, deep in thought. “So, do you think she is involved in this?”
“Yes! As for what her intention is, it remains unknown.”
Lewis asked, “What else?”
Tom scratched his head. “It’s been two years. We were always on the move back then, so I don’t have any leads yet. Perhaps we can only wait until the day old Mrs. Horton remembers something.”
Lewis glanced at him languidly.
Tom hastily lowered his head. “Sorry, Boss. We’ll continue the investigation.”
Lewis printed two copies of that divorce agreement, stood up, and walked out. “Have you gotten in touch with Nora yet?”

It was said that Nora, the researcher, was about to develop a clinical drug for Alzheimer’s disease.
Lewis hoped that he could use the medicine on his grandmother as soon as possible.
Tom lowered his head even more. “Nora is very elusive, and because of her research, she has been targeted by major biotech companies, so she’s even more careful…”
Sensing how displeased Lewis was, Tom’s voice grew lower and lower. “Boss, don’t worry. I’ll definitely get in touch with her!”
Keira had just finished dinner with the old lady when she received a message from Lewis on WhatsApp. “I’m downstairs. Come here.”
She made the excuse of taking out the garbage to g downstairs. Seeing the familiar black Bentley limousine, she got in right away.
Lewis handed her the divorce agreement. “I have no objections. Sign it.”

He stared at her with his dark eyes, expecting her to make an excuse to refuse.
Instead, she didn’t hesitate to sign the two copies and even asked him, “Can we get divorced tomorrow?”
Lewis kept his gaze on her. “Are you in such a hurry?”
Keira said, “Very.”
Her company is in a hurry to go public!
Lewis looked at her for a moment in silence. “Fine.”
Keira added a reminder. “Let’s do it tomorrow morning. Bring your ID, Household Registration, and marriage certificate. We’ll meet at the Civil Affairs
Bureau.”
Lewis nodded, but his expression suddenly changed.
Old Mrs. Horton had somehow made her way downstairs and was now watching them with a pale face.
She clutched her chest, her voice trembling. “Are you getting a divorce?”
Then, her eyelids fluttered closed, and she collapsed

on the ground.
“Grandma!”
Outside the VIP ward of the First Hospital.
“The patient is temporarily out of danger,” the chief doctor explained gravely. “Old Mrs. Horton must not be agitated anymore. You must not upset her!”
Upon hearing these words, Keira remembered the emergency measures the old lady had gone through,
and she still felt shaken.
She looked at Lewis who was standing next to her.
The man was expressionless, appearing extremely
calm.
But when the doctor said “out of danger”, he rela the collar of his shirt, slowly sat down on the ben the corridor, and clasped his hands on his knees, unable to stop them from trembling lightly.
Just then, they heard a nurse’s voice in the word. “Mrs Horton, you’re awake!”

Lewis immediately rushed into the ward.
When Keira entered the room, the old lady had already
opened her eyes.
She looked at Keira and said hoarsely,
“Granddaughter-in-law, I dreamt that you and that brat were getting divorced, surely it’s not true?”
Keira didn’t say a word, but Lewis said, “It’s not true.”
“So, you’re not getting a divorce?”
“We’re not getting a divorce!
“Give me the Household Registration Book and the marriage certificate.”
“Alright.”
Lewis would do whatever she said.
The old lady turned to Keira, “Granddaughter-in-law,
what the brat said was true, right?”
Thinking of the doctor’s advice, Keira paused before answering, “Yes.”
Only then was the old lady satisfied.

Even though she was just too emotional, she still had to stay in the hospital for observation tonight.
Keira and Lewis stayed in the ward to look after her.
Night fell.
Keira sat lazily on the sofa, browsing on her phone.
She was working on a document about clinical Alzheimer’s disease drug research. There was a technical problem at the final stage that she couldn’t
solve.
She needed to consult some biomedical papers.
While she was pondering, she suddenly received a message on WhatsApp.
Puppy wrote, “Miss Olsen, let’s postpone the divor until grandma’s condition stabilizes.”
She could say no to that request.
The divorce agreement had been signed, and their properties would not interfere with each other. She was still considered married, but it wouldn’t affect the company’s public offering. The timing of the divorce

didn’t really matter.
Keira said, “Okay.”
Lewis squinted at the reply on his phone screen. “Do you have any other requests?”
Keira wrote, “After Grandma gets better, we should get divorced as soon as possible!
Lewis frowned, suddenly finding this woman to be
inscrutable.
From the hospital bed, the old lady looked at Keira,
then Lewis.
The two had barely spoken to each other.
That wouldn’t do.
The old lady suddenly said, “Brat, I am going to ar a job for my granddaughter-in-law at Horton Gro
The two could go to work together every day, and would get closer with frequent interaction, wouldn’t they?
Lewis hesitated slightly before saying, “Alright.”

He was particularly conciliatory tonight.
The old lady, however, began to worry again. “So, what
kind of job should we give her?”
An idea suddenly occurred to her. “Granddaughter-in-law, leave it to me! You’ll go to
work with that brat tomorrow!”
Keira blinked and replied, “Okay.”
She suddenly realized that Horton Group had a large database, and they might have the paper she needed!
Lewis still had a meeting to attend, so he left with
Tom.
As soon as they reached the corridor, Tom said, “No wonder that woman was so willing to sign the divor papers. She had brought the Old Mrs. Horton downstairs. The divorce was never going to happen
He glanced at Lewis. “Boss, she even coaxed your grandmother into letting her work at Horton Group. There must be some conspiracy! Why did you agree to
it?”
“If I don’t keen her in sight How will her plan be

exposed?”
A glint flashed deep within Lewis’s eyes.
For his grandmother, he couldn’t divorce Keira now.
As for whether that woman was innocent, he would have to see what her intention was in joining the company!
In the ward.
As Keira lay on the couch, she suddenly heard the old lady’s soft voice. “Granddaughter-in-law, let me share a secret with you…”
Keira immediately asked, “What secret?”
Had the old lady remembered something else?

22 Secret!
Keira was hoping that the old lady would recall some crucial clues.”
For instance, how did the old lady come to know her?
Also, how did she end up marrying Lewis Horton?
“Grandma, what secret do you want to tell me?”
Keira asked in anticipation.
The old lady spoke mysteriously, “I’ll tell you that brat’s secret weakness. If he ever upsets you, you can use it against him!”
Keira was speechless. She didn’t actually want to know.
However, the old lady seemed very interested in sharing. “Don’t be deceived by his arrogant and untouchable demeanor. He’s actually scared of cats.”
Keira was taken aback.
She suddenly remembered that a boy she knew when
she was little was also scared of cats…

But he was a child. Lewis was over six feet tall. Was he actually scared of cats?
The old lady then asked, “Granddaughter-in-law, do you prefer cats or dogs?”
“Dogs.”
She used to like cats, but since that boy didn’t like them, she lost her liking for them too.
Keira soon understood why the old lady would ask this question.
The next day, on the top floor of the Horton Group.
“Woof! Woof!” A cute little Shiba Inu was wagging its tail, running around Keira.
Tom was speechless, “The job old Mrs. Horton arranged for Miss Olsen is to take care of this puppy.”
Lewis didn’t know what to say.
It is said that old people tend to act like children and do things by their preferences.
Babysitting dogs as a job was simply ridiculous!

Lewis told Tom, “Take her… both of them to the New Energy Research and Development Division, Team One, for onboarding.”
This is what he had planned in advance.
The New Energy R&D Division didn’t involve the core business of the group, but it was related to future development. Putting her there would allow him to see if she slipped up.
Tom nodded immediately.
Keira didn’t care about these arrangements. She
picked up the puppy and followed behind Tom, asking, “Does it have a name?”
Tom said, “No. Old Mrs. Horton wants you to name it.”
Keira glanced at the sulky Lewis and suddenly smiled. “Let’s call it Kitten then.”
“You’re going to name a dog Kitten?”
“Is there a problem?”
“…No.”

22 Secret!
The New Energy R&D Division is on the 38th floor of the Horton Group.
In the elevator.
Tom said, “Miss Olsen, among Horton Group’s R&D staff, the majority are Ph.D. students; at the very least, they are master’s degree holders from prestigious schools. You are the first one with a bachelor’s degree! Being able to learn from the seniors here can greatly benefit your future. This has been specially arranged for you by Mr. Horton. Of course, you don’t need to feel grateful. This is just a reward because you made old Mrs. Horton happy.”
Keira found it rather unnecessary.
“By the way, the boss doesn’t want your relationship to be made public, to avoid making a scene during the
future divorce.”
Keira glanced at him, saying lazily, “That’s exactly my
concern too.”
Tom was dumbfounded.
Was this woman actually looking down on his boss?

He wanted to say something, but the elevator reached their floor.
The New Energy R&D Department was divided into two groups, situated on the left and right sides of the elevator with a public rest area in between.
Keira just got off the elevator when she heard a group of men talking.
“I heard a young and beautiful intern will join our team today!”
“Wow! Finally, a change of scenery! Great!”
Someone from Group Two laughed, “Our group can soon invite Dr. South to join us as technical support. What’s so special about an undergraduate intern? Is she going to be a decoration piece?”
The people in Group One immediately shot him a glaring look. As they were about to respond, a voice of reprimand rang out. “What are you gossiping about? Don’t you have work to do?”
The man speaking was the head of Group One, Jalen Riley, who was about 26 years old. He was tall with
611

handsome features. He looked impatient and gave off a
rebellious aura.
The crowd immediately scattered.
He frowned at Keira and said unhappily, “Mr. Davis, why do you bring an inexperienced undergraduate into my team?”
Tom responded with a smile. “The boss ordered it.”
Jalen was still upset and looked at Keira arrogantly, “I don’t care what your background is. You’ll abide by my rules when you are here! Do not bring dogs to work
next time!”.
Keira simply replied, “Alright”
Only then did Jalen point to a vacant office as her
workstation.
After she went in, he looked at Tom and said, “Mr. Davis, this is the last time. However, if my cousin has the ability to recruit Dr. South over, he can send me a hundred or even a thousand of such individuals, and I
will not say a word!”
As a relative of the Horton family, he got his job at the
6/11
Directly support the authors on WebNovel!
Horton Group through his own abilities!
That’s why he hated these nepotisms!
Keira’s first day at work was quite interesting.
With no one assigning her any tasks, she was quite
comfortable.
She played with Kitten in her office for a while, and the puppy curled up in a corner in the sunlight and fell asleep.
She then slowly got up, closed the office door, and prepared to go to the R&D Department’s data library.
Only by creating an effective drug for Alzheimer’s would the old lady’s health improve, and the old lady might recall something. Then Keira would be able to understand her inexplicable marriage to Lewis Horton!
Keira found a colleague who looked more scholarly and introverted and asked, “I need to do some research. Can you tell me where the data library is?”
The young man blushed. He was just about to give her
12:36

directions when someone asked suspiciously, “What do you need in the data library?”
Keira turned back and found it was Jalen.
She said, “I wanted to learn something.”
Jalen sneered right away, “You? What qualifies you, an undergraduate, to enter the data library? The technical knowledge there is all on the level of international problems. First, make sure you understand our team’s basic theory!”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
She took out her phone, intending to contact Lewis. Since she had her privileges, of course, she would use
them!
But before she could send her message, Jalen said, “Your connections are useless. I’m not just some small-time employee that they can manipulate casually. If you join my team, be a good employee and do your job properly. Don’t attempt to show off! It’s
obnoxious!”
The introverted colleague suddenly said, “Jalen, she
12:36

graduated from Oceanion University and her academic
scores were all quite good…
Jalen said immediately, “What good is the little knowledge from textbooks will do? All undergraduates start working as newbies!”
He randomly picked up a stack of material from that young man’s desk and threw it to Keira. “This is the
new energy project our team is currently working on. Can you understand it? New hires should act like new
hires!”
Keira glanced at the project’s documentation and began flipping through it quickly…
Jalen couldn’t help but say, “You’re turning the pages so fast. Do you think you’re Dr. South? If you can’t understand it, don’t waste everyone’s time! Get back to your office!”
It was rumored that Dr. South had an extraordinary retentive memory and could read very fast.
Upon hearing this, Keira looked up and said coldly, “Who says I can’t understand it?”

Jalen was taken aback, “Can you understand it?”
Just as Keira was about to reply, the introverted male colleague jumped in. “Jalen, I think she’s telling the truth.”
Jalen glared at him, “Do you two know each other?”
The colleague gave a shy smile, “I was a graduate student under Professor Miller at Oceanion University.
I was still a student last year when she joined us to work on a research project led by Professor Miller….”
Keira studied his face, trying to recall. “Luca Barker?”
Luca blushed and nodded, explaining to Jalen, “She’s the only undergraduate student that Professor Miller recruited for the project. She’s a fast reader, and she has experience with these fundamental frameworks.”
But Jalen still looked at her disapprovingly. “It’s just the basics. There’s no need to be so proud just because you understand it! If you’re so capable, solve the core technology issues then!”
12:37

Luca immediately chimed in, “Boss, you are asking too much of her.”
Jalen sneered, “If you don’t have what it takes, just do as you’re told. Go to the resource library and look up the most basic things. You should be ashamed of yourself!”
With that, he left.
Luca sighed, and explained to Keira, “We’ve been stuck on the core technology issues for a while. Jalen hasn’t been sleeping well for a few days, so he’s a bit grumpy. But he’s not a bad person. Don’t take his words to
heart.”
Keira wasn’t bothered.
She didn’t come to the Horton Group to make
enemies. She asked for the location of the resource
library and headed straight there.
The Horton Group’s resource library was located on the 60th floor. It was essentially a large private library, only accessible to employees of the group.
The books here covered knowledge from various

industries, including scientific research materials that weren’t accessible outside.
Keira was slightly excited. Her intuition told her that she would find what she was looking for here.
Top floor.
Lewis was dealing with several backlog files when his phone rang. It was a WhatsApp message from Old Mrs. Horton, whose ID was “Blooming Prosperity”.
“Brat, you need to have lunch with your wife today. Remember to send me a photo of you two dining
together.”
Lewis frowned.
Just as he was about to make an excuse about having a meeting, he saw Grandma’s WhatsApp nickname changed from “Blooming Prosperity” to “Fragile
Grandma Do Not Agitate”. ”
Lewis was speechless.

After staring at the nickname for a while, he ultimately

sighed in resignation and pressed the call bell on his desk.
Tom quickly stepped in. “Boss, what can I do for you?”
“Prepare two lunch sets and bring them here.”
“Sure.”
Lewis then sent a message to “Need Iron”, telling her to join him for lunch on the penthouse floor.
However, by the time the lunch was set up on the nearby table, Keira still hadn’t responded to his
message.
Lewis stood up. “Where is she?”
Tom said, “Miss Olsen? She’s in the resource library.”
Lewis made his way to the 60th floor and began to search for her amidst the rows of bookshelves.
He soon saw her and Jake, who was staring at her.
Keira was engrossed in looking through books and didn’t feel her phone vibrating.
