Chapter 548: Chapter 547

South Jenkins was baffled.

What car?

As she pondered, Susan opened her mouth, “At that time, I was all focused on you, extreme circumstances definitely bring out greater strength~”

Peter Olsen was very touched by this remark.

He wanted to hold Susan’s hand and sigh in amazement but realized his hands were full.

Peter Olsen could only sadly retract his hand and entered the bridal shop with the items.

Meanwhile, Kiera Olsen had arrived at Scott Martin’s temporary residence in Clance.

Though temporary, it surprisingly looked like a fully furnished manor, clearly well-maintained.

From the appearance of the butler at the door, it was clear that this was the Martin family home.

As Kiera and the butler walked forward, Scott Martin and Erin South Martin quickly came out to greet them.

As they stepped out, Scott Martin still had a smile on his face, “She’s willing to visit me, she must have a bit of a fondness for me.”

Erin rolled her eyes, “You’re overthinking it. I think she’s more interested in me than in you.”

Scott Martin: “…How’s that possible, she doesn’t like women!”

Erin said again, “But I feel like she might be here for her cousin. Didn’t she ask if her cousin was here before coming?”

Scott Martin: “That’s just her being polite. She knew I chose this timing to avoid an arranged marriage…”

Erin: “…”

As they talked, they went out to greet and immediately saw Kiera Olsen… and Lewis Horton with her.

Scott Martin’s happy expression instantly froze.

He twitched his lips and then stepped forward, extending his hand to Kiera, “Miss Olsen, welcome!”

Kiera instinctively responded politely to shake hands, but Lewis Horton suddenly stepped forward, blocking her and shook Scott Martin’s hand directly, “Mr. Martin, sorry for coming uninvited. Hope you don’t mind. Today, I’m just… Miss Olsen’s driver.”

After saying this, he deliberately glanced at Kiera.

Kiera: “…”

This guy claimed his territory too quickly.

She looked towards Erin South Martin.

Erin immediately took her arm, “Sister Keera, you’re here! Come in quickly~ Oh, by the way…”

Erin asked, “Charles Olsen didn’t come?”

Kiera replied, “He’s still at university, has classes today.”

Erin just “oh”ed, then seemingly casually asked, “Which university is he attending?”

“Tsipin University.”

Erin’s eyes lit up, “That impressive? Did he get in on his own, or did the family pull some strings?”

Kiera answered, “On his own.”

Children of the Olsen family have a different training mode from others; at least Uncle Olsen doesn’t pamper them.

Whether they want to study abroad or take entrance exams domestically, they strictly abide by local rules.

Charles may seem naive and easily deceived, but that’s because he has a research-oriented brain, focusing all his mind on chemistry and not being good at managing interpersonal relationships.

Erin’s eyes shone even brighter, “Does that mean he is really intelligent?”

“Just okay.”

But Erin sneaked a smile, “That’s good, future children will be smart…”

Kiera: ??

Wait, wasn’t it just dinner you guys had that night? Nothing else, right? How did it turn into children??

She hesitated and looked at Erin, seeing her satisfied expression suddenly made her feel a heavier burden.

Should she find time to talk with Charles?

Boys outside also need to protect themselves!

This thought startled even Kiera herself.

She was never a meddlesome person, and her instinctive concern for Charles today meant she really regarded him as a younger brother…

She lowered her gaze and followed them into the living room.

Upon entering, she saw an elderly man in his sixties or seventies sitting on the sofa, his white hair full, his back straight, his face not much wrinkled, vaguely revealing handsome traits from his youth.

Beside him sat a girl.

Keira Olsen’s gaze fell upon her, noticing that the girl had a Western look–very beautiful and glamorous, her deep double eyelids sizing up Keira as soon as they caught sight of her.

Her gaze fixed firmly on Keira, filled with hostility and vigilance.

Without needing anyone to introduce her, Keira knew that this was definitely Scott Martin’s cousin, Vera South’s cousin, Vera South.

The South Family.

In other words, she might be the Fox!

Keira Olsen withdrew her gaze and looked towards old Mr. Martin, seeing that the old man was also sizing her up with a stern face. As she approached, Keira was just about to greet him when she heard the old man speak: “Keera Olsen?”

Keira was slightly taken aback and nodded.

The old man directly lowered his gaze: “Do you want to marry my grandson?”

Scott Martin’s face immediately flushed red, and he quickly spoke: “Grandfather, what are you talking about? Miss Olsen is just visiting today.”

But the old man did not pay attention to him and still stared at Keira, asking her again: “Do you want to marry my grandson?”

The old man’s demeanor was persistent, carrying a kind of righteous obstinacy that somehow gave Keira a sense of satisfaction.

This person didn’t seem to beat around the bush.

He spoke directly.

Keira then looked towards Lewis Horton, expecting him to assert his dominance again, but at this moment, he suddenly fell silent.

Keira didn’t understand.

But Lewis gave her a glance, his eyes conveying that she should make her own decision.

Keira suddenly understood.

Lewis had also noticed that this old man disliked circumlocutions, so he did not want to make decisions for her anymore.

Her mother, Jodie South, was still with the South Family–could her mother’s life be guaranteed to remain safe if she did not complete her task quickly and return to the South Family?

The quickest way to complete the task was by an arranged marriage.

Keira Olsen lowered her gaze and spoke directly: “No.”

The old man immediately said: “Then what are you doing here?”

Keira glanced at Vera South sitting next to her, noticing her scoffing, “Keera, old Mr. Martin knows about the South Family. So you don’t need to beat around the bush, just speak directly.”

The South Family!

Keira’s pupils dilated instantly, shocked that Vera had just admitted her own identity!

Her eyes coldly fixed on Vera, thinking about the accidents that happened to her loved ones repeatedly, a fierce look flashing in her eyes.

She scoffed and was about to speak when Erin South Martin spoke: “Cousin Vera, why are you in such a hurry? I know the South Family wants to arrange a marriage with our family, but it has nothing to do with Miss Olsen. I think, you don’t like my brother either, so isn’t arranged marriage quite meaningless? Shouldn’t we find someone we truly love?”

“Not good.”

Vera answered straightforwardly: “I came to Clance with the purpose of marrying your brother.”

Erin South Martin: “But my brother doesn’t like you!”

“It doesn’t matter; affection can be cultivated after marriage.”

“What if my brother never likes you?”

“Then we will cultivate it for a lifetime.”

“…”

Erin South Martin was at a loss for words: “Why are you so stubborn? My brother really does not like you, he already has someone he likes…”

Vera glanced towards Keira Olsen: “Then it’s up to Keera whether you marry Scott Martin or Lewis Horton.”

After saying this, Vera’s gaze fell on Lewis Horton: “Mr. Horton, right? Are you willing to let her marry Scott Martin?”

Lewis pursed his lips and did not speak.

Old Mr. Martin, hearing this, looked towards Lewis Horton with slightly knitted brows, not saying anything but shifted his gaze elsewhere.

Scott Martin immediately said: “Vera, Miss Olsen is just visiting today, don’t say these unnecessary things here!”

Just after he finished speaking, old Mr. Martin said: “Scott, you said you have someone you like, I can bless you. That’s why we have this meeting today.”

Old Mr. Martin directly looked at Keira Olsen: “Since my grandson likes you, I will ask you once, do you want to marry my grandson?”

Keira Olsen helplessly said: “Old Mr. Martin, I came here today to see if there’s a possibility of cooperation between our two families.”

“No possibility, our Martin family has always been independent and does not cooperate with any enterprise.”

Old Mr. Martin rejected her proposal outright, then slowly said: “I have only one question for you, do you want to marry my grandson or not? I will choose a girl from the South Family to become my granddaughter-in-law, it doesn’t matter to me who it is. If you do not marry him, then I will set the engagement banquet for Vera and Scott Martin tomorrow! Just as long as you don’t regret it.”

Keira Olsen: “??”
