My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire!

Chapter 721



Oliver chimed in, "Granduncle, you don\'t understand. Melissa and Jake are only after my money. But Marisa and Selena? They genuinely care about me. Just look at how much my relationship with Grandma has improved since they arrived. It\'s all thanks to them. They\'re much more respectful than Melissa and Jake!"

Julius\'s face darkened.

But now wasn\'t the time to delve into family drama. He turned to old Mrs. Horton. "How have you been lately?"

She smiled gently. "I\'ve been doing well. Don\'t worry."

Julius walked over and sat beside her. The two began to chat, mostly about family matters. Julius did most of the talking while old Mrs. Horton smiled softly, listening. Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

Sitting there, Julius felt as if he had gone back to his childhood, following his sister-in-law everywhere. She had always been like a mother to him.

Julius could sense that her time was running short, and his heart ached.

After a long time, Nathan finally said, "Uncle, it\'s perfect timing that you\'re here. We were just about to go over Mom\'s will again. With you here, you can be a witness. Plus, your presence should keep Lewis in line."

Nathan had deliberately called Julius to come over. Discussing a will was something they could have handled with just the lawyer, but if Lewis didn\'t agree, they couldn\'t stand up to him alone.

Lewis had grown up in the old family estate, and he held a certain respect for Julius. With Julius here, Lewis would have to show them some courtesy.

As Nathan thought this, he glanced at Lewis.

Lewis sat there calmly, not saying a word.

Julius frowned slightly and looked at him before asking, "How exactly do you want to change it?"

Nathan cleared his throat. "Well, naturally, everything that belongs to Mom should go to me! As her son, I\'m the first in line to inherit."

Once Nathan got control of the shares, he could pass them along to Oliver. It would all end up in Oliver\'s hands eventually.

Oliver sat nearby, already basking in his future victory.

Julius finally said, "That doesn\'t seem right. I distinctly remember my sister-in-law saying she was leaving her shares to Lewis."

"That was before," Nathan interrupted. "But you\'ve seen it yourself. Lewis and his wife don\'t show her an ounce of respect anymore. She doesn\'t even recognize them! We have to revise the will, or the family members who truly care will be left out in the cold. Isn\'t that right?"

Julius frowned and turned to Lewis. "Is that true?"

Lewis lowered his gaze, saying nothing. In his mind, not spending every waking moment with his grandmother already felt like a failure.

But Keira wasn\'t about to let him be unfairly accused. She immediately spoke up, "Of course not! Granduncle, you know better than anyone how Lewis treats Grandma."

Julius nodded. "That\'s right. Lewis has always been devoted to her…"

Nathan sighed. "That was the past. Ever since he got married, his entire world has revolved around his wife. What about us? We hardly even see him anymore, and even Grandma barely sees him once every couple of weeks. If that weren\'t the case, how could she remember the rest of us and forget only him?"

Julius\'s frown deepened.

Ever since the family moved from Oceanion to Clance, Julius hadn\'t been as involved in the affairs of the Horton Group. He wasn\'t as in the loop about what had been happening lately.

He turned again to old Mrs. Horton. "Do you really not recognize Lewis? He\'s sitting right there."

Following Julius\'s gaze, old Mrs. Horton looked at Lewis.

She smiled kindly at him, just as she always had. She studied him for a long moment before speaking. "No, I don\'t recognize him."

Julius was stunned.

Oliver couldn\'t hide his excitement. "See, Granduncle? Now you know who the real dutiful family members are!"

Julius clenched his jaw. "My sister-in-law\'s illness is clouding her judgment. If she can\'t even recognize Lewis, we absolutely cannot change her will."

Nathan objected, "Why not? Back when Lewis was monopolizing her attention, she naturally distanced herself from us. But Oliver and I are her son and grandson. She\'s bound to care for us, right? Uncle, you have grandchildren of your own. Could you really leave everything to just one, ignoring the others?"

That argument made Julius pause.

He furrowed his brow, clearly torn. Then, he turned to old Mrs. Horton and asked directly, "Do you want to change your will?"
