My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

160 Another Slap in the Face

Lewis waved his hand dismissively, letting the butler exit first. “Please ask them to wait.”

“Yes.”

After the butler quietly left, Lewis finally turned to Nathan, asking coldly, “On what grounds?”

“On what grounds?” Nathan exuded a sense of authority. “With her status, she’ll only bring shame to the Horton Group! Do you know that if the reporters spread the word tomorrow that your wife is an illegitimate daughter, how much our shares will plummet?!”

Oliver also said, “Lewis, since you have taken the role of CEO of the Horton Group, you must take on the corresponding responsibilities, including your

marriage! How could a woman of such status be worthy of you?!”

Seeing this, Melissa turned her gaze directly to Keira, “Miss Olsen, if you really care about Lewis, you should conscientiously divorce him!”

Keira pressed her lips together, offering no response.

She wasn’t foolish and certainly understood that these

people were just seizing the opportunity to make trouble. Even if today Lewis announced that Madeleine was his wife, they would probably criticize Madeleine for her humble origins, deeming her unworthy of

Lost in thought, the strong, dry hand suddenly gripped hers tightly. Lewis’s voice then resolutely rang out. “Are there any legal stipulations that a corporation’s legal person, or a chairman, cannot marry an illegitimate daughter as a wife?”

His words made everyone speechless.

Nathan retorted angrily, “Do we need rules for that?

It’s an unspoken consensus! You…”

“Since there are no stipulations…” Lewis cut him off directly. “If you wish to remove me from the

chairman’s position, then go through the proper

procedure, call a board meeting, and let everyone vote!”

“Your control of fifty-one percent of the shares makes the vote decision basically whatever you say! I think you’re just running a dictatorial regime in the company!”
