Chapter 553: Chapter 552
Matthew Olsen never expected that all his clumsy lies seemed to be seen through.
He tensed his jaw and finally looked at Keira Olsen: “I can’t say.”
Keira Olsen was taken aback.
Matthew Olsen then said, “There are things that, if I told you before you complete the mission, would truly endanger your mother’s life.”
Keira Olsen furrowed her brows: “So what about that video just now?”
“It was sent to me by my superior.”
Matthew Olsen sighed: “Kiera, your sister thinks she can avoid the South Family’s contention by hiding her strength and living a quiet life; she’s too naive. Since you and the lady were discovered by the South Family, your sister has been exposed. You must have realized, right? Your sister is not really stupid; she’s clever. Do you think the South Family would allow such a clever person to dodge the missions they assign?”
Keira Olsen furrowed her brows: “What do you mean?”
Matthew Olsen stepped forward, coming face-to-face with her, and said directly: “Let me tell you, the South Family has set their sights on you. From the moment you completed the second task, you had no way out. Either succeed and go to the South Family to see your mother or fail, and they will erase her existence. That video wasn’t sent by me; it was sent by the South Family! If you don’t make an effort and continue to slack off, they will choose to eliminate the lady.”
Keira Olsen clenched her fists tightly and then scoffed: “Then let me tell you this–if anything happens to my mom, I guarantee I won’t complete another task and will just slack off.”
Matthew Olsen never expected that she would threaten him back, and he was taken aback: “You…”
Keira Olsen scoffed: “Since the South Family values me so much, or rather values my sister, then they should agree to my terms, right? Relay the terms I proposed to your superior!”
Matthew Olsen furrowed his brows with a headache, seemingly at a loss with her, and rubbed his temples: “I don’t know if they will agree.”
Keira Olsen looked down: “If they care about me, they will agree. If they don’t care about me, then they wouldn’t have used my mom to coerce and entice me!”
Matthew Olsen: “…”
This logic was actually sound.
He took a deep breath: “Fine, I’ll communicate that.”
Keira Olsen then said: “Moreover, I need to know that my mother is truly alive and well. I want them to send a video every day.”
Matthew Olsen paused: “They could shoot a lot at once and then deceive you about the dates.”
Keira Olsen looked down: “Then let them figure out a way to prove that the time isn’t false.”
Matthew Olsen: “…Kiera, their patience is limited, don’t challenge their bottom line.”
Keira Olsen confidently smiled: “You relay my conditions to your superior, and they will agree.”
Matthew Olsen was dumbfounded: “How do you know?”
“Because…”
Keira Olsen stepped back: “If your superior wants me to complete the mission, they’ll certainly meet my demands.”
Matthew Olsen: “…”
He took a deep breath and nodded: “I’ll relay that.”
Keira Olsen looked directly at him: “So, what’s the fourth mission? Might as well tell me now. Maybe I can complete the third and fourth missions together.”
Matthew Olsen then spoke: “The Martin family has always been detached from the global economic system; they don’t need to cooperate with anyone unless through marriage, so your third mission, you simply can’t complete it, Kiera, you…”
“That’s not for you to worry about.”
Keira Olsen said indifferently: “Tell me the fourth mission.”
Matthew Olsen sighed: “Defeat Fox.”
“Okay.”
Keira Olsen nodded and turned to walk out.
When she reached the entrance, Lewis Horton opened the door, and the two walked out side by side.
Once they arrived at the parking lot, Lewis Horton looked at her: “Did you already know that ‘Guardian’ was this doctor?”
Keira Olsen said: “It was just a guess. Remember that year when I went back to Oceanion in my sister’s identity? I didn’t see him then and assumed he was on a business trip.”
Matthew Olsen often went on business trips, and now it seemed that his work in Oceanion was the real business trip.
Keira Olsen gave a wry smile, paused her steps, and looked back at the building.
Sure enough, she saw Matthew Olsen standing by the window, silently gazing at her. When she looked up, he waved his hand to greet her.
Keira Olsen raised her eyebrows and waved back.
Lewis Horton asked: “Is he reliable?”
“I don’t know.”
Keira Olsen’s reply was very realistic: “Even the words he just said, I don’t know if they’re true or not. There’s only one thing I know.”
“What’s that?”
“He truly likes my sister and wants to take revenge for her.”
Keira Olsen looked at Lewis Horton: “I never understood why he always looked at me with such a complicated gaze. Later, after I saw the photo, I thought he liked me and so I kept my distance. Just now, when he spoke, he was frantic. At the very least, we have the same objective right now, which is to avenge my sister.”
Lewis Horton nodded, then asked: “So, you’re really giving up on Scott Martin? If he gets engaged to Vera South tomorrow… you’ll have no chance.”
Keira Olsen tensed her jaw: “Let’s go home first, then think about how to resolve this issue.”
“Alright.”
Lewis Horton subconsciously sat in the passenger seat, and then the car slowly started moving, driving at thirty miles per hour on the road.
Lewis Horton: “…”
He glanced at Keira Olsen.
Keira Olsen raised her eyebrows: “What are you looking at me for! There are millions of roads, but only one life! So you must drive safely, got it? Especially since my blood is precious, if I get hurt and lose too much iron, I could die!”
Lewis Horton: “…”
He couldn’t help but turn his head to look out the car window, then saw a bicycle overtake their car, curiously peering inside the vehicle. After seeing Keira Olsen in the driver’s seat, the person showed an enlightened expression: “A novice woman driver, huh!”
“…”
Lewis Horton withdrew his gaze, feeling just a bit… embarrassed.
He coughed, then looked again at Keira Olsen.
Keira Olsen: “Something to say?”
“Nothing.”
Keira Olsen was satisfied, and the two made their way at thirty miles per hour, taking more than an hour to finally reach the Olsen Family.
Keira Olsen parked the car perfectly in the parking spot, got out of the car, and walked around it.
Then, as she turned to go upstairs, she saw South Jenkins cleaning with another janitor, his sleeves rolled up, revealing a scar on his arm.
The janitor asked: “South, how did you get that scar on your arm?”
South Jenkins grimaced: “I got it years ago while saving Young Master Five; I was burned by his car!”
