Chapter 565: Chapter 564

Kiera immediately reached out her hand.

That photograph didn’t look big and seemed to be something very ancient, a black-and-white photo at that.

But before her hand could touch the photograph, a hand suddenly stretched out and snatched it away!

Kiera turned her head sharply, only to see Vera South holding the photo, she glanced at it, then sneered coldly: “This photo, you’re not allowed to show it to her!”

Scott Martin’s face grew even darker: “Vera, don’t go too far!!”

Erin South Martin was also furious, putting her hands on her hips: “Vera, this is a photo my brother gave me to show to Keera sister, what does it have to do with you? Give the photo back to me!!”

Vera glanced at the photo, then turned to look at Kiera: “I said no showing, means no showing!”

“You…!”

Scott Martin was about to rush over and snatch the photo from Vera when old Mr. Martin strode over: “What’s going on?!”

His appearance immediately quieted the room.

Vera immediately said: “Old man, your precious grandson is planning to break our engagement, being all lovey-dovey with Kiera Olsen here, aren’t you going to do something?”

Old Mr. Martin frowned upon hearing this and turned to look at Scott Martin and Kiera Olsen.

Scott Martin immediately explained: “Grandfather, Miss Olsen and I are just talking with integrity and honesty, Vera won’t even allow this, she’s too overbearing!”

He thought that after saying this, old Mr. Martin would speak up for him, but unexpectedly, old Mr. Martin just frowned and said gravely: “You’re about to be engaged, why are you still entangled with her? How is this proper!”

Scott Martin’s face stiffened.

Vera just laughed: “Old Mr. Martin, since we are going to be engaged, shouldn’t you also give a stance regarding the Olsen Family?”

Old Mr. Martin furrowed his brows.

Ellis Olsen immediately stepped forward: “Old man, isn’t that unnecessary? Our families have no feuds, why escalate the matter of the younger generation to our two families?”

Old Mr. Martin let out a slight sigh upon hearing this.

Vera scoffed: “Grandpa, are you unable to make a choice? Or do you want to keep one foot in two boats? If that’s the case, then I might need to report this back home…”

As soon as she said this, old Mr. Martin’s face changed slightly.

After a while, he sighed deeply and looked directly at the Olsen family members: “From now on, the Martin family does not welcome you. Leave before the engagement ceremony begins!”

Everyone present was stunned.

Erin South Martin even more incomprehensibly shouted: “Grandpa, are you mad? Just for a woman, you want to make an enemy of the entire Olsen family? I’m going to marry Charles Olsen!”

Old Mr. Martin glanced at her: “The Martin family and the Olsen Family will never be joined by marriage, give up on that!”

Erin became anxious: “Grandpa! You’re too much! You can control my brother, but you can’t control me! Let me tell you, I’m going to marry Charles Olsen, I won’t marry anyone else!”

Old Mr. Martin’s eyes widened in anger as he scolded: “Then get out of the Martin family, you’re no longer one of us!”

Erin seemed shocked that the old man would say such a thing, and looked at him in despair: “Grandpa?”

Old Mr. Martin sighed: “You should have nothing to do with today’s event. Go upstairs obediently, stop making trouble here, and keep your distance from that Olsen boy from now on!”

Tears welled up in Erin’s eyes: “I won’t!”

Pointing at Vera, she shouted angrily: “What kind of spell did this woman cast on you to make you so biased in her favor? Grandpa, I think you’re senile!”

“Slap!”

Suddenly, in front of her, Vera swung out her hand and slapped Erin South Martin’s face, then said sternly: “How dare you talk like that? This slap is on behalf of Grandpa to discipline you!”

Erin was dazed by the slap and when she regained her senses, she lunged forward: “You dare to slap me?”

She looked like she was going to retaliate, but in the next moment, old Mr. Martin grabbed her wrist: “Enough! I said, the Martin family will choose between Kiera Olsen and Vera, and support one unconditionally. It’s Kiera Olsen who gave up on your brother! How long are you going to continue this farce?!”

Erin looked at old Mr. Martin in disbelief, her hand covering her face: “She hit me? Grandpa, she hit me, and you don’t care? Never in my life have you laid a hand on me!”

Old Mr. Martin sighed: “Who told you to be unreasonable? After Vera and your brother get engaged, she’ll be your sister-in-law and the one to manage the Martin family!”

Erin clenched her fists tightly.

Charles Olsen quickly rushed to her side: “Erin!”

Old Mr. Martin shouted: “Break up with this brat immediately!”

Erin’s eyes were red with grievance, and tears began rolling down: “I won’t!”

“If you don’t break up, then never set foot in the Martin family again!”

Old Mr. Martin roared.

Erin immediately shouted back: “Then I won’t return; do you think I want to come back to such a family?”

After she finished speaking, she threw herself into Charles Olsen’s arms, crying miserably.

Old Mr. Martin watched her, deeply sighed, and without paying her any more attention, he turned to Kiera Olsen: “Miss Olsen, I’ve made my position clear today; please take your brothers and leave immediately. From now on, you also don’t need to set foot in the Martin house.”

After he said this, he waved his hand, and the security guards outside immediately rushed in, surrounding the Olsens.

Vera scoffed mockingly: “Keera Olsen, you’d better hurry and leave with these people! I know your Olsen family members can fight, but even if you win, what then? Today’s engagement banquet will proceed no matter what!”

She looked arrogant and dominant.

Kiera gazed at her, knowing that today’s matter might indeed be a no-go.

She lowered her gaze and said slowly: “Fine, we’ll leave.”

Upon hearing these words, everyone relaxed their vigilance.

The Olsens immediately turned to walk out.

Kiera then walked up to Erin, patting her on the shoulder, seemingly consoling her.

Vera scoffed, “Keera Olsen, what do you have to compete with me?”

She turned around and hooked Scott Martin’s arm, as if declaring her ownership.

However, in the next moment, quick as a flash,

Kiera’s figure swiftly appeared in front of her, reaching out her hand, directly aiming for the photo in her hand!

Kiera knew that this act was a bit much.

But she had an intuition telling her that this photo was extremely important.

It seemed, it felt like, just getting hold of this photo might provide a clue, might free her from the current predicament!

Her movements were quick, and she soon grabbed hold of the photo.
