My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Keira’s eyes were cold as she spoke, making Oliver pause for a moment.

Lewis, however, looked directly at her and asked, “Keira, do you mean to say that they agreed?”

Just as Keira was about to nod, Oliver scoffed. “What are you thinking? I’ve had someone look into this matter a long time ago! The selection of volunteer patients in Clance this time has been personally overseen by Nora. I’ve heard that the selection was extremely impartial, only including patients who meet the criteria for their clinical trial. No matter how

strong one’s connections are, others have no chance. of getting a spot!”

After saying this and without waiting for Keira to speak, he abruptly changed the subject. “However, Selena got one!”

Keira was slightly taken aback when she heard this.

Just as she was pondering this, Nathan’s eyes lit up. “Oliver, is that true?”

Oliver smiled. “Dad, would I lie to you? Selena has been studying in Clance all along, just to help me expand our Clance connections. She has performed

“Great! That’s fantastic!” Nathan rejoiced. “Selena is truly your good daughter! When you first brought her home, I knew she was intelligent, and now she has indeed proven her capabilities!”

Oliver laughed. “Isn’t it natural for her to help the family? Selena has always been grateful for the nurturing she received from the Horton family.”

He glanced at the time and continued. “Selena will arrive tomorrow. She told me that she would bring her boyfriend this time, and they plan to get engaged. Dad, her boyfriend is from the Cobb family, one of the five
