215 Hard to Trick

The sunshine in the yard was just right.”

In the midday hours, Keira observed Old Mrs. Horton’s yard from a distance, unsure of what Lewis was

planning.

Upon hearing her question, Lewis smiled. “Of course,

I’m at ease.”

Keira was taken aback.

Lewis then lowered his gaze. “Selena is so concerned about Great-grandma’s illness because of her shares, so she’ll definitely see to it that Great-grandma lives!”

Keira had a moment of realization upon hearing this.

Oliver had just said that old Mrs. Horton had made a will before, stating that if she were to pass away, her shares would be transferred to Lewis. Therefore,

Corey Mills from the Clance Research Institute has made it clear he won’t make exceptions; he’ll rigorously select trial subjects based on patients’ conditions. Boss thought of various ways to pressure him, but he wouldn’t relent…”

Saying this, Tom glanced at Lewis and coughed.

For old Mrs. Horton’s sake, Lewis almost resorted to

However, Tom wouldn’t tell Keira about this, so as to prevent her from knowing the boss’s involvement in the grey areas and becoming fearful.
