Chapter 557: Chapter 556

Keira Olsen didn’t know what got into her; perhaps like a drowning person grasping for the last straw.

The Martin family, neither seeking power nor money, gave her a sense of having no way to proceed.

Now that she finally knew old Mr. Martin’s weak spot, she was certainly going to try.

Lewis Horton also stood up with her, “I’ll go with you.”

Keira Olsen nodded, and the two were preparing to leave, but then received a message from Scott Martin: [I’m going to try on clothes now. My engagement party is tomorrow, I invite you both to come. We can chat then.]

Upon seeing this message, Keira Olsen paused briefly, not sure why, but she felt that Scott Martin seemed a bit colder towards her, as if he was deliberately keeping a distance.

She thought about it carefully and understood.

Tomorrow’s engagement party between Scott Martin and Vera South was certainly going to happen, and since Vera South and she were from rival families, Scott Martin had to at least show respect to Vera South, his fiancee.

She pursed her lips, knowing that if she didn’t think of a way, the Martin family would completely stand on Vera South’s side.

Keira Olsen replied to the message: [Okay, I’ll definitely be there.]

Putting down her phone, she looked somewhat anxious.

Seeing this, Lewis Horton spoke directly, “We’ll deal with whatever comes. No need to worry.”

Keira Olsen nodded, “I’m going to take a shower.”

After she went to the bathroom, Lewis Horton fell silent for a moment then walked onto the balcony, and dialed Tom Davis’s number.

Tom Davis, who seemed to have just fallen asleep, spoke in a muffled voice, “Boss, what’s the matter so late?”

“Have the forces in Country F prepare, and if necessary, transfer some people from DNY.”

Tom Davis immediately became alert, “What do you need us to do? Is there another mission?”

Lewis Horton then said, “Find out all the assets of the Martin family, always be ready to take over and replace them!”

Tom Davis was stunned, “Boss, are you crazy? Didn’t we check on the Martin family before? They are nobility in Country F, you want to replace them? It’s not possible unless we mobilize all our overseas forces!”

Lewis Horton lowered his eyes.

Yes.

Externally, the Martin family is a grand Crera family, but deep investigations reveal they are nobility in Country F, and the current King of Country F is Scott Martin’s uncle.

So the Martin family lacks neither money nor power.

This was why Keira Olsen always wanted to cooperate with old Mr. Martin but could never manage it; they simply looked down on ordinary families.

Not just Keira Olsen–if the entire Olsen Family went to talk to them, they would still be lacking in status.

But…

Lewis Horton raised his head, his gaze firm, “She chose me, and I must pave the way forward for her, not let her face difficulties.”

Keira Olsen had never hesitated in choosing him, so he had to help resolve the issue with the Martin family!

Since the Martin family was planning to ally through marriage with Vera South, he might as well take a bold step and directly take over the Martin family! Even if Vera South marries into the Martin family, what then? The entire power of the Martin family would be his, and thus Keira’s!

Tom Davis: “Boss, we’ve been setting up abroad for so long, a full ten years, for that operation. If we target the Martin family now, it might all be for naught, you–”

As soon as he said this, Lewis Horton immediately interrupted him, “If I can plan once, I can plan a second time! I can wait another ten years, but Keira can’t wait.”

He could feel, without rescuing Jodie South soon, Keira Olsen might go mad.

She appeared calm every day, but actually, each time Jodie South was mentioned, she became more and more frantic.

Tom Davis hesitated slightly before asking helplessly, “Have you made up your mind?”

“Made up my mind.”

“Good.”

Tom Davis directly responded, “We will obey all commands from our boss. Besides, for the sake of the lady, all this is indeed worth it!”

After hanging up the phone, Lewis Horton looked towards the bathroom where he could vaguely see the charming silhouette inside, his eyes gradually becoming profound.

When Kiera Olsen was forced by old Mr. Martin to make a choice, she chose him without any hesitation, which made him realize, he had not loved the wrong person.

He would absolutely not let Kiera Olsen fall into trouble and would definitely help her complete the mission given by the South Family and save her mother-in-law together.

As Kiera Olsen stepped out, she saw Lewis Horton standing there, watching her intently.

She looked down at herself.

Just out of the shower, wet all over, she was drying her hair with a towel wrapped around her, revealing her fragrant shoulders and part of her legs. What else could there be?

What was this man looking at?

Could there be foam on her head that wasn’t rinsed off properly?

While Kiera Olsen was doubting herself, Lewis Horton suddenly stepped forward and held her tightly.

Kiera Olsen was slightly startled before asking, “What’s wrong?”

“Kiera, remember no matter what happens, you have me.”

Kiera Olsen’s anxious heart seemed to calm a bit with these words.

After sensing Scott Martin’s attitude and knowing there was no room for negotiation with old Mr. Martin, she was indeed anxious.

Fearing for her mother’s safety, she was still thinking about how to keep her mother safe and how to sabotage tomorrow’s engagement party even while bathing.

But when Lewis Horton said those words, she suddenly felt at ease.

Let whatever storms or beasts come tomorrow, let’s worry about it then!

That’s what Kiera Olsen thought, feeling as if a heavy stone had been lifted from her heart, and she hugged Lewis Horton and kissed him.

Lewis Horton tightly wrapped his arms around her waist and deepened the kiss.

The two of them ended up rolling onto the bed while kissing.

After a passionate moment, Lewis Horton suddenly realized something, “I haven’t showered yet.”

Kiera Olsen pushed him slightly, “Then go quickly…”

But Lewis Horton suddenly picked her up, “It’s so hot, you must have sweated too, let’s shower together…”

He carried Kiera Olsen and strode towards the bathroom.

Just upon entering, they noticed a double massage bathtub was placed there; he slightly smiled, “Father-in-law arranged everything perfectly.”

Kiera Olsen: “…”

Kiera Olsen had thought that it would be a sleepless night, but surprisingly, after all the activity with Lewis Horton, they spent so much energy, she eventually fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up the next day and saw it was already eleven o’clock in the morning.

She then sat up and saw a satisfied Lewis Horton sitting on the sofa in the room, handling some business.

With his casually indifferent demeanor, it was hard to see the determined and decisive nature he displayed when issuing commands online, and he gently said, “Kiera, get up and get ready, let’s prepare to attend the engagement party.”
