139 Identity

Everyone turned their heads to see Lewis and were

stunned.

Someone who didn’t know who that was asked, “Who

is this?”

The person next to them immediately replied, “That’s Jake’s uncle, the current man in charge of the Horton family! I saw him on the financial news channel just a few days ago…”

No sooner had they finished explaining than Professor Miller stood up, exclaiming in surprise. “Mr. Horton?”

The Horton Group gave a substantial amount of support to Oceanion University’s labs every year, and now that Professor Miller had become the dean of the Energy College, of course, he had dealt with Lewis before.

As he stood up, the others immediately followed suit.

Jake and Isla exchanged glances and both smiled.

Jake looked down and politely called out, “Uncle, what

brings you here?”

Lewis glanced at Keira and Scott before looking away and said in a deep voice, “I heard it’s Professor Miller’s birthday, and I happened to be in the area, so I came to have a look. Why? Am I not welcome?”

“How could that be!”

Jake gestured toward Keira’s seat. “Uncle, please take a

The seat of honor belonged to Professor Miller, who as today’s birthday star and elder, couldn’t possibly give up his seat. Given Lewis’s status, Keira immediately moved down one spot.

Lewis walked over without ceremony and sat between

her and Professor Miller.

Upon seeing this, Isla cheerfully said, “Mr. Martin, what are you waiting for? Please, take a seat.”

Scott, hearing this, gave Keira a look, thought for a moment, and sat next to her. The classmate who had been sitting next to Keira immediately stood up and vacated his seat, allowing Scott to sit down without
