226 Petty Family

Nathan immediately waved his hand. “How is that possible? Your shares are supposed to go to the second branch of the family in the future.”

Now, Mr. Horton finally understood and looked toward

old Mrs. Horton.

Nathan decided to speak frankly. “My mom had promised before that when the younger generation in the family gets married, they would all receive shares… When Jake got married, his wife wasn’t good to my mom, so she didn’t give any shares. Now Selena is going to marry into the Cobb family, which is a big deal for our family. Mom, how much are you planning to give Selena?”

The question was raised in a way that made it hard for anyone to refute!

Old Mrs. Horton tensed her jaw and furrowed her

brow.

After Lewis had cheated Nathan out of two percent of his shares last time, the shares he controlled amounted to fifty-three percent.

If she gave away more than three percent of the shares, it was likely that Lewis would face an uncontrollable situation in the company.

As old Mrs. Horton agonized over what to do, Lewis said, “Two percent, I think.”

It was as if he was giving back the two percent that Nathan had given him before!

However, as soon as he said this, Nathan sneered. “Lewis, in your heart, is your grandmother’s life only worth two percent?”

Lewis frowned.

Keira seized the moment to interject. “We are talking about the dowry Selena will take with her when she gets married. What does that have to do with Grandma’s life? Is Selena helping Grandma find medicine just for shares? Can Grandma’s life be measured in shares?”

Nathan was at a loss for words.

He didn’t expect her to be so sharp-tongued!

And to think the reserved Lewis ended up marrying

such a bride.

Enraged, he gave an annoyed look at Jake, who everyone seemed to have forgotten about, and thought about how he had failed to be more discerning at the time of his marriage. If he had managed to marry Keira, she would have been a great asset to the first branch of the family by now!
