BXBX NOVEL Chapter 52 - 52: Scumbag
Lewis narrowed his eyes.
What identity?
As Samuel Morgan’s girlfriend?
At this moment, he pieced everything together in his mind.
Keira wouldn’t steal the plan, and the solution was too complicated. Jalen said that no one but Dr. South could complete it in such a short time, so…
Keira’s plan must have been provided by Samuel! But Samuel didn’t inform Dr. South; otherwise, Dr. South wouldn’t have sent it separately to Jake, causing this misunderstanding.
The business world was complicated. Why did Samuel take Dr. South’s plan without notifying him? Would he really clarify things for Keira?
Lewis asked uneasily, “Are you sure he’ll come?”
“Of course.”
“You trust him that much?”
“Yes.”
When had Samuel ever dared to disobey Keira’s orders?
Her matter-of-fact attitude suddenly made Lewis feel a little frustrated. He
only found her infatuated with love.
Suddenly, he reminded her, “Miss Olsen, don’t forget we’re still husband and
wife legally. I don’t want to start any rumors.”
Keira was perplexed.
She looked at him with slight confusion, not understanding why he would
suddenly say this.
Seeing this, Lewis felt more frustrated.
He loosened his tie and said sternly, “While our marriage is still legal, I hope
you behave yourself.”
Leaving these words, he strode into the ward.
Keira didn’t know what to say.
Did this man have an unsuccessful meeting today? How temperamental! His words were utterly nonsensical.
She didn’t think too much about it, but followed him into the ward and went to accompany Old Mrs. Horton.
Outside the suite.
Lewis instructed Tom, “Look up Samuel Morgan’s information.”
“Yes.”
Tom worked very efficiently. Within half an hour, he gathered all the information about Samuel. “Boss, it’s sent to your phone.”
Lewis opened the file on his phone and saw Samuel’s basic information. He was 27 years old, a brilliant student who graduated from Cambridge University. Three years ago, he became Dr. South’s agent, managing his company. In the past three years, he had been diligent and steady, and the company was now preparing to go public.
Lewis continued to scroll down but found no more information.
He frowned slightly. “That’s it?”
Tom was bewildered. He had even found Samuel’s university transcripts, and the boss still felt it wasn’t enough?
He asked with confusion, “Do you want…?”
Lewis said lightly, “His personal life.”

Tom’s mouth dropped open in surprise, but he soon recovered. “I’ll check it
right away.”
Half an hour later, Tom sent the information to Lewis’s mobile phone.
Samuel was generous and went through girlfriends every three months. His ex-girlfriends had nothing but praise for him.
At present, he was involved with several women, clearly not an ideal boyfriend. Thinking about Keira’s trust in him, Lewis chuckled. He took his phone and walked into the ward, prepared to show her this evidence.
But as soon as he walked in, he saw his grandmother flipping through the dictionary with her reading glasses, and Keira squatted on the ground, playing with the dog.
The little puppy raised its head, wagging its tail vigorously at her.
Keira was smiling all over her face.
She was incredibly beautiful. Her smile was breathtaking as if she was the purest scenery in the world, making people not want to destroy it.
He paused, and his fingers tightened around his phone.
Should he tell her this cruel truth?
For a moment, Lewis was conflicted.
“What’s wrong?”
Old Mrs. Horton suddenly asked, looking at him suspiciously.
Lewis pressed his lips together and quickly turned off his phone. “Nothing. However, old Mrs. Horton didn’t believe him. “You’ve been staring at your wife for so long. How could there be nothing? Do you have something to say to her?” Upon hearing this, Keira looked up, her eyes shining as she looked at him.
Lewis was speechless.
He felt a wave of heat rush up to his face, so he quickly averted his gaze and cleared his throat. “You seem quite lively, Granny. Are you ready to be discharged from the hospital?”
Upon hearing those words, the energetic Old Mrs. Horton immediately clutched her chest, putting on a weak face. “You brat, my chest still hurts.” How could she let the young couple live together once she was discharged?
She would be like a child of divorced parents, having to choose one side.
Unlike now…
On the second day of her stay, she remodeled the ward.
She put two comfortable beds in the ward, one for her and one for her granddaughter-in-law, and a sofa bed in the outer living room for the brat to sleep.
It might be a bit small, and life was somewhat hard, but at least the two of them could see each other daily…
When they developed feelings for each other, she would bring her granddaughter-in-law back to the Horton family!
Thinking of this, old Mrs. Horton laughed, there was no sign of chest discomfort at all.
Lewis was speechless.
So was Keira.
That night passed without any event.
The next morning, Keira was reading a book on neurology when she suddenly received a call from Luca Barker. “Keira, come to the university now! Something happened to Professor Miller!”
Keira frowned and said, “Sure.”
She stood up solemnly, walking quickly toward the exit.
As she went down the stairs, she prepared to hail a cab.
Behind her, Tom’s voice rang out, “Miss Olsen, Mr. Horton asked me to give
you a ride.”
Keira paused slightly and didn’t refuse. “Oceanion University, thank you.”
As soon as the car stopped at the academic building, Keira jumped out and rushed toward Professor Miller’s office.
The door to the office was wide open, with a group of students gathering around for the spectacle.
Keira rushed in and saw a red-faced Professor Miller standing there, aggressively looking at the dean of the College of Energy. He snapped, “A student’s academic status affects their life. You can’t just expel them on a whim! Last time you said her character was problematic and her background was problematic, so you directly canceled her postgraduate recommendation without my agreement. Today, if you don’t give me a reasonable reason, you can’t leave here!”
Keira heard this and paused for a moment.
She thought something happened to Professor Miller. Was he standing up for her?
But…expelled?
She looked at the dean, just in time to hear his strict words. “I just received the news that she stole Dr. South’s solution and claimed it was her idea. This kind of student tarnishes our school’s reputation. Of course, we have to deal with it!” Professor Miller growled angrily, “That’s impossible. Keira isn’t that kind of person!”
The dean sneered, “This is the internal information I just received. It can’t be false! We’re about to hire Dr. South as a professor, and if we don’t punish her, how can we gain Dr. South’s trust? Do you know how many schools are fighting over him?”
Professor Miller understood right away. “So you’re doing this all for Dr. South! But I’m her advisor. I won’t sign off on your decision to expel her! I’ll never sign that document!”
The dean was furious. “Miller, how can you be so stubborn? Comparing Keira Olsen with Dr. South is ludicrous, and even you aren’t important enough!
Hearing this, Keira stepped forward. “Without Professor Miller, there will be no Dr.. South!”
