My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire !

Chapter 55: Relationship

Keira and Lewis arrived at the Horton Group in his Bentley.

As they got out of the car, Lewis suddenly asked, "Will Samuel Morgan arrive on time?"

Keira replied, "I think so."

Lewis pursed his lips and continued. "Actually, I have some information about Samuel Morgan. I'll tell you after we deal with today's matters."

He planned to tell her about Samuel Morgan's womanizing behavior.

The agony of elongated pain was worse than a moment's suffering.

Keira glanced at him, surprised. "Alright."

She got out of the car and walked toward the elevator.

Just as she reached the elevator, she overheard a few colleagues whispering.

"Did you hear? Someone was caught stealing ideas from the Research and Development Department!"

"Who? Someone's really crossing the line! How audacious!"

"I heard it was the new intern. They must have some connections in the company to dare do such a thing."

"What kind of connections?"

Someone pointed upward. "I heard it's related to him, hence they placed the intern in Jalen Riley's group..."

"That guy is domineering and forceful. The higher-ups have been on their toes for the past month. He wouldn't blatantly protect his intern, right? Isn't he worried about leaving a bad impression by mixing personal affairs with work?"

"Well, I heard that guy was spoiled by Old Mrs. Horton. When he was a kid in Oceanion, he was like a little tyrant. After so many years, showing bias to an intern wouldn't mean anything to him, right?" 

"The company has its rules and regulations. If he acts recklessly, won't it cause public outrage?"

"He's young. He doesn't care about these things..."

"Isn't Jake younger? But look at the people he hired for the company. Dr. South is a leading figure in the new energy industry! Now, look at the intern of that guy. Comparing both sides, it's evident that Jake Horton is more reliable..."

"Absolutely, like father like son. His father, Mr. Horton Senior, was always strict with himself and lenient with others. Speaking of which, Mr. Horton Senior worked his way up diligently from the grassroots..."

"Why didn't he get that position? Why was it taken by that man?"

Keira hadn't planned to pay these people any attention. After all, she found herself in an awkward predicament and realized that people were bound to talk about her behind her back.

But she hadn't expected that the conversation would shift toward Lewis Horton.

She narrowed her eyes.

Having been working since middle school, she wasn't really an office rookie, so, she immediately inferred that someone was fueling the fire behind the scenes and planned to drag Lewis into the mud!

She recognized the person who had initiated the topic.

It was Arian O'neil, a researcher from Group Two and a henchman of Jake Horton.

Keira remembered the news Samuel Morgan had helped her look up...

The first branch of the Horton family wanted to seize power back.

She could sense the tension between Lewis and the first branch of the family during her last visit there.

Jake wanted to use this issue to stir up public opinion. Even if it couldn't inflict any real harm on Lewis, it could still undermine his reputation in the company. Keira scoffed.
