How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire

Chapter 72: Chapter 72

Lewis Horton, however, did not say more and turned to leave.

Frankie frowned and said, “Lewis Horton, how can you be so ungrateful, you…”

Before he could finish, Lewis Horton suddenly halted and turned back sharply.

The look in the man’s eyes revealed a hint of sinister anger and fury, his brows and eyes darkened, his entire face terrifying like a Shura emerging from hell, causing Frankie’s following words to get stuck in his throat.

Lewis Horton stared at him, his voice deep, which emitted a terrifying air in the night, “Mr. Allen, our relationship is purely business, you’ve crossed the line.”

Leaving those words behind, he walked away.

Frankie stood there, stunned, his face tense.

In this cooperation, despite Lewis Horton’s cold demeanor, he had always behaved like a refined gentleman, which almost made Frankie forget that this man was notoriously sinister and tyrannically violent!

Frankie had thought those were just rumors, but the fierce expression just now made him realize Lewis Horton was never an easy opponent.

Frankie watched him, seeing the man’s overwhelming rage slowly dissipate as he approached Kiera Olsen.

By the time he returned to her side, the man was again just a somewhat cold normal person.

…

Cloaked in the man’s jacket, Kiera Olsen felt no hint of coldness.

The black suit was finely designed, its lining carried the man’s warmth, enveloping her completely, with a faint scent of vanilla masculinity emanating from it.

Her heart softened.

Seeing the man now only in a black shirt, she picked up the small poodle, “Let’s go back.”

“Okay.”

The next morning.

Lewis Horton went to work, and Kiera Olsen, sitting on the sofa bathing in the warm sunlight, finally finished the conclusive work on the Alzheimer’s research and sent the email to the overseas biomedical base. She stood up and stretched lazily.

She then picked up her phone, only to discover a WhatsApp message from Rebecca Allen: [Miss Olsen, do you have time tomorrow evening? Could you come accompany me?]

Kiera Olsen replied: [Tomorrow evening I have to attend a celebration banquet with the Horton and Allen families.]

Right after sending the message, a call came through, it was Samuel Morgan: “Boss, we’ve run into a bit of trouble.”

Kiera Olsen replied indifferently, “What happened?”

Samuel Morgan said angrily, “We have always bought our hydrogen energy materials from the Allen family. I was going to buy another batch today, but they suddenly refused to sell to us! New energy research is booming, and raw materials are in high demand, it will take time to buy from someone else… The problem is, we have production contracts and delivery dates with our clients, this disruption means we’ll breach our contracts!”

Kiera Olsen frowned, “The Allen family in Clance?”

She had always entrusted the management of her company to Samuel Morgan, only handling technical issues, so she hadn’t realized her company also had dealings with the Allen family.

Samuel Morgan confirmed, “Yes, them. I’ve always bought from them. I tried to get information from their sales manager, they haven’t found a new buyer yet, but someone higher up specifically ordered not to sell to us!”

Kiera Olsen lowered her gaze, “Got it, I’ll ask around.”

After hanging up the phone, she stood up and headed out, directly toward the rehabilitation department.

She was friends with Rebecca Allen and got along well with Mrs. and Mr. Allen, so she planned to directly inquire and see if someone was causing trouble.

Just as she reached the hospital department, she coincidentally ran into Frankie Allen.

He seemed to have just returned and was about to head upstairs.

Kiera Olsen hurried her steps and called out, “Mr. Allen, hello.”

Frankie Allen stopped, turned his head to look, and although his expression was initially mild, it turned much colder upon seeing her.

Keira Olsen asked in confusion, “I am Dr. South, and my company has always purchased hydrogen energy materials from your company, but this month your company suddenly said you wouldn’t sell to us anymore. Is there some misunderstanding?”

“There is no misunderstanding.”

Frankie Allen’s expression was cold, his eyes carried a hint of disgust, “It was my order not to sell to you anymore.”

Stunned by his words, Keira Olsen asked, “Why?”

Frankie Allen frowned, “Miss Olsen, have you so quickly forgotten what you carelessly said?”

Keira Olsen was full of question marks.

Had she accidentally said something wrong while accompanying Rebecca Allen?

But she truly had no recollection, and every time she finished chatting with Rebecca Allen, she was happy, she had even just been messaging her…

Unable to remember, Keira Olsen simply said directly, “Even if I did say something wrong, Rebecca probably didn’t take it to heart. If it’s because of that, Mr. Allen, shouldn’t you consider the small favor I did for Rebecca and show some leniency?”

Small favor…

These words made Frankie Allen mistakenly think she was referring to helping at the police station by giving testimony, after all, making that call was a lifesaving grace.

Frankie Allen reproached, “You dare mention Rebecca? Wasn’t it your duty to testify for Rebecca? It’s every citizen’s duty!”

Feeling displeased, Keira Olsen’s voice carried a chill, “Mr. Allen, nothing is supposed to be done.”

Even angrier, Frankie Allen responded, “Ms. Olsen is right, so the Allen family is also not supposed to sell hydrogen energy materials to you.”

Keira Olsen took a deep breath.

During their first meeting at the hospital, she thought Rebecca’s brother was quite decent, but she hadn’t expected him to be so merciless.

Before she could say anything else, Frankie Allen had already strode into the rehabilitation department. His assistant barred the door, “Miss, please do not make noise in the hospital and disturb the patients’ rest.”

Keira Olsen: !!!

Feeling utterly furious, she turned around and left.

Forget it, she would speak to Mrs. and Mr. Allen at the banquet tomorrow evening!

Time quickly moved to the next evening!

The Horton Group and the Allen Family’s new project involved a multi-billion deal, so it was well worth celebrating.

A large celebration banquet was held at the Imperial Hotel.

Quite a few employees from the Horton Group attended, and people from the Allen family even flew in specifically from Clance.

In the hospital.

Rebecca Allen donned a formal gown and was lifted onto a wheelchair by Frankie Allen.

Mr. Allen chuckled, “Don’t you dislike these kinds of events the most? Why insist on going today?”

Mrs. Allen also said, “Maybe you shouldn’t go. If you don’t want to be alone, I’ll stay with you.”

With her eyebrows entwined and a listless expression, Rebecca Allen looked at her phone and spoke, “Since yesterday, my benefactor’s tone with me has grown cold. I asked her to accompany me and she made excuses to decline, so I have to find her at the banquet! Let’s go.”

Frankie Allen, pushing her out the door, arrived at the parking lot.

Just as he was about to lift her into the car, a stretch Bentley drove past them.

The Allen family members turned their heads and saw Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton sitting in the back of the Bentley luxury car.

Rebecca Allen’s eyes brightened, and she hurriedly called out, “Benefactor!”
