Chapter 556: Chapter 555

Scott Martin looked at the message and sighed.

Scott Martin: [I asked, but even if we find grandfather’s daughter, he won’t change his mind.]

He thought that after saying this, Keira Olsen would give up, but didn’t expect her reply to come so quickly: [It doesn’t matter, as long as there’s any possibility, I want to try.]

Seeing that she had said this, he replied to the message: [Then I’ll ask grandfather about it.]

After all, the photograph was old Mr. Martin’s personal belonging, and Scott Martin needed to ask about it, and the photos had all been taken away by old Mr. Martin.

He sent this message and went upstairs.

He saw old Mr. Martin standing at the bay window, looking outside.

They lived in the suburbs, and in the distance was a continuous range of mountains. At night, the moonlight sprinkled on the mountaintops, appearing quiet and peaceful.

Scott Martin walked up behind him, and old Mr. Martin spoke: “Are you here to call off tomorrow’s engagement party again?”

Scott Martin nodded, “Not me, it’s Keira Olsen, she wants to try again.”

Old Mr. Martin sighed: “Chen, I advise you to keep a distance from Keira Olsen after getting engaged.”

Scott Martin was confused: “Why?”

Old Mr. Martin looked down: “Because Vera South and her are in a life-and-death opposition, if you marry Vera South, our Martin family will be taking her side. From then on, your relationship with Keira Olsen will be antagonistic. I don’t want you to be in a difficult position in the middle.”

Scott Martin clenched his jaw, “Grandfather, what is actually going on with the South Family? Aren’t they all part of the South Family? Why are they in opposition?”

Old Mr. Martin sighed, “Some things, the less you know, the better. Now go back, tell Keira Olsen not to waste her effort, I will find my daughter myself.”

Scott Martin asked again: “So there truly is no chance for a turnaround?”

Old Mr. Martin shook his head: “Unless Keira Olsen is willing to marry you and give birth to your child afterward. Blood relations are the most solid relationship that can never be broken. Why else do you think I am insistent on you marrying into another family?”

Scott Martin clenched his fists tightly.

Old Mr. Martin then said: “This matter was settled the moment Keira Olsen refused to marry you. There’s no room for maneuver. Of course, unless…”

Old Mr. Martin smiled: “Keira Olsen herself has blood relations with us, but how could that possibly be.”

Scott Martin hung his head and sighed heavily.

Old Mr. Martin patted his shoulder: “Good boy, go to sleep. Face your fiancee with a clear mind tomorrow. After all, Vera South is also your distant cousin. If you marry her, you must take responsibility for her.”

Scott Martin spoke gloomily: “I know.”

Aristocratic alliances are just like that, everyone is just a pitiful person.

Scott Martin would not be cold to Vera South just because of her strong personality. If the marriage truly happens, he would at least strive for mutual respect and tolerance.

He sighed, turned around to leave, but then he looked towards old Mr. Martin: “That photograph, please give it to me for now. Without it, how can I help you find her?”

Old Mr. Martin handed the photograph to him and said: “Don’t just show the photograph to anyone. I don’t want my daughter’s information to be exposed, to avoid causing her trouble. You can only show the photograph to people you trust.”

“Okay.”

Scott Martin left with the photograph.

…

Olsen Family.

Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton stayed in the suite that Uncle Olsen had specifically prepared for them, bringing Amy along.

Amy and the nanny were already asleep, while Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton sat on the sofa, both feeling a bit of a headache.

The two had originally thought of using benefits as a lure, but they never expected old Mr. Martin to be impenetrable to both soft and hard tactics; the only path forward was through marriage alliance.

Keira Olsen, with so many identities and covers yet to be revealed, was already rejected, which made her feel powerless.

She rested her chin on her hand, looking at Lewis Horton: “What do you suggest we do? If tempting with benefits doesn’t work, should we resort to threats of violence?”

Lewis Horton spoke indifferently: “It’s not out of the question.”

Keira rolled her eyes: “But there are only two members of the Martin family in the country, their main base is overseas! Where can I get foreign forces to threaten them with violence?”

Lewis Horton bluntly said: “I can try.”

Hearing this, Keira immediately turned to look at him.

This man often attends international conferences, something Keira was aware of. Sometimes when overhearing their conversations, she could catch some sensitive terms.

But she never probed, nor did she ask about the nature of Lewis Horton’s overseas influence.

Now, hearing him, it seemed… rather formidable?

Yet, she didn’t inquire further and only said: “Even with threats of violence, if the other party is not willing, it’s still futile.”

As she spoke, she sighed.

Just then, her phone suddenly rang. It was a familiar number–the one she used to call the Fox when she was monitoring Susan’s phone.

Keira frowned, let out a cold laugh, and answered the call.

Sure enough, an electronic voice came through: “Rabbit, have you given up?”

Keira’s eyes narrowed immediately.

The person on the other end chuckled lowly: “I was so happy to see you today!~”

It was indeed Vera South!

Keira frowned: “Vera, do you think you’re going to win?”

“Of course, the engagement ceremony is tomorrow. On the night of the engagement, I’ll consummate the marriage with Scott Martin until I’m pregnant. Then, my cooperation with the Martin family will be secured.”

Vera didn’t bother to disguise her voice anymore, still using the electronic tone: “I don’t have a lover, or rather, I never put love before my interests. That’s why I can beat you. Rabbit, do you want to send Little Amy over now?”

Hearing this, Keira clenched her fists and let out a cold laugh: “If you dare, come and snatch her away. I’ll make sure you regret it!”

“Hehehe…”

The voice on the other end laughed sinisterly: “All these harsh words, what’s the point? In the end, the winner is me. As for you… you could just give up and then come and assist me, be my little sidekick. Maybe then, I’ll spare your life! After all… it’s a life-or-death situation between us! Oh, and if you die, Amy will be without protection, and then she’ll be mine… Hahaha!”

The Fox hung up after these words.

Keira’s face turned pale with anger, and she sharply turned to look at Lewis Horton: “Violent threats, can you really do it?”

Lewis Horton spoke: “Yes, but by resorting to violent threats, we might destroy the Martin family, which won’t make them useful to you anymore! We need to figure out what support from the Martin family means for your future.”

Keira was taken aback.

She hadn’t expected Lewis Horton’s threats to be so powerful.

The Martin family was innocent, weren’t they? They were just picking sides… Besides, she and Scott Martin were friends…

While she was conflicted, Keira received a text from Scott Martin: [Grandfather gave me the photo, but he won’t allow a picture. Shall we meet to talk?]

Upon seeing this message, Keira immediately replied: [Okay, I’m coming to you now.]

After sending the message, she stood up.

Somehow, she felt an intuition that she was about to see this photo…
