Chapter 566: Chapter 565

Keira Olsen grabbed the photo and immediately attempted to pull it back.

However, she didn’t expect that in the next moment, Vera South held it down tightly, refusing to let go of the photo.

Keira Olsen frowned, “Scott Martin showed this to me.”

Vera South glared at her, her eyes fierce, “I don’t allow him to show it to you, so you cannot see it!”

Keira Olsen frowned, “Vera, don’t be so dictatorial!”

Vera South sneered, “You think I don’t know what you’re trying to do? Isn’t it just to find the old Mr. Martin’s illegitimate daughter and then negotiate with him? But I’m telling you, there is no definite relationship between them, even if you find her, the old man won’t care about you!”

Keira Olsen laughed sarcastically, “If that’s the case, then why won’t you give me the photo?”

Vera South clenched her jaw, looked at the photo, and then scoffed, “You want me to give you the photo? Does old Mr. Martin agree? This is his privacy!”

Upon hearing this, Keira Olsen immediately looked towards old Mr. Martin.

Scott Martin then said, “Grandfather, Miss Olsen and Mr. Horton have been in Clance for so many years, it’s possible they know each other! Are you sure you don’t want their help in finding her?”

Old Mr. Martin frowned and said, “No need.”

Keira Olsen spoke directly: “Old gentleman, what if helping you find her is my moral obligation? It’s not to stop you from letting Vera and Scott get married!”

Old Mr. Martin paused.

Scott continued, “Grandfather! Think about it carefully!”

Old Mr. Martin immediately declared, “She can have a look then. But let it be clear, even if she provides clues and finds my daughter, I’m not going to help her. Once you and Vera are engaged, there’s nothing left to discuss!”

Keira Olsen nodded, “Alright.”

She wasn’t the kind of person who expected a return just by helping someone.

It was just an intuition telling her that this photo might be the key to breaking the situation.

Scott looked directly at Vera, “Grandfather has agreed, hurry up and let go!”

Vera’s gaze suddenly turned cold, and she scoffed, “Fine!”

Everyone thought that after saying this, she would definitely let go, but unexpectedly, right after she spoke, she abruptly tore the photo apart!!

Everyone present was stunned.

Even old Mr. Martin looked at her incredulously, stepping forward sharply, “Vera, you…”

Vera raised her eyebrows, “Oh dear, I am so sorry! This photo was too old, I just gently tugged at it, who knew it would break!”

After saying this, Vera flicked her hands and then coldly sneered.

Old Mr. Martin’s face turned livid with rage.

Scott angrily reprimanded, “You did that on purpose!”

Vera looked at him, coldly saying, “So what if I did it on purpose? I am your fiancee, yet you want to involve the Olsen family in our matters, I can’t stand it, so what? Let me tell you, since a choice has been made, it should be clean and decisive!”

Listening to this, old Mr. Martin paused slightly, only frowning.

Scott questioned, “Grandfather, can you really tolerate this? That photo was your only piece of evidence!”

Old Mr. Martin clenched his jaw tight, his fists tightened and relaxed repeatedly, and after a while, he simply said, “Let it be!”

After finishing his words, he turned away, with an unshed tear in his eyes.

Keira Olsen, watching all this, didn’t understand.

The Martin family’s status and power abroad was comparable to the Olsen family’s influence domestically, and moreover, the Martins were a noble, royal family, how could they tolerate Vera to this extent?!

She looked at Vera again.

She then saw Vera tear up the already damaged photo, stretched her hand forward, and threw it on the ground.

Old Mr. Martin was shaking, his gaze fixed on the fragments of the photo, he hesitated for a long while, and then said nothing.

Vera clapped her hands, brushing off the last bits of debris, then spoke: “Scott, do you hate me? But the one you should hate is Keera Olsen! After all, if she wasn’t here, I wouldn’t have ripped the photo to ruin your relationships!”

After saying this, she provocatively glanced at Keira Olsen.

Keira Olsen clenched her jaw.

Yet Vera suddenly smiled, “However, if you want Miss Olsen to stay and watch our engagement party, that’s not impossible. Since you insist so much, she can stay.”

After that, she hooked her arm through Scott’s, “Alright, we need to go backstage and change clothes!”

Scott took a deep breath, looked again at old Mr. Martin, seeing him nod, and reluctantly followed Vera.

Before leaving, he gave Keira Olsen a look filled with helplessness.

Once the two disappeared from the scene, Erin South Martin then looked at old Mr. Martin, “Grandfather, I don’t understand, she humiliated you so much, how can you bear it!”

Old Mr. Martin sighed, “You don’t need to understand these things.”

Leaving these words behind, he took another meaningful glance at Keira Olsen, then turned and walked away.

However, Keira Olsen noticed that the old man’s back was more stooped, he didn’t look back at the photo on the ground at all, but his entire demeanor emanated a sense of defeat, as if the tearing of the photo cost him half his life.

Keira Olsen clenched her jaw, suddenly looking towards Lewis Horton.

Lewis understood something; the two immediately took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, squatted down, and slowly picked up Vera’s torn photo.

Lewis said, “Something is wrong.”

Keira replied, “I initially had an intuition that this photo was the key to breaking the situation, but I didn’t expect Vera’s reaction to be so intense! It seems like she’s been preventing me from seeing this photo from the start, which further confirms my suspicion that there’s something fishy about this photo!”

Lewis also nodded, “I think so too.”

After gathering all the fragments on the ground, Lewis extended his hand to her, “Give it to me, I’ll find a place now to help you restore it!”

Keira was taken aback, “Can you restore it when it’s torn to pieces?”

“Yes, give me half an hour; try to stall them for me!”

After Lewis spoke, Keira took a deep breath and nodded.

Lewis stored all the fragments in his pocket, then immediately left the premises, heading straight to the parking lot, found his nanny car, turned on all the lights in the back seat, opened up a table, and began placing the photo fragments on it, then took out a toolkit from under the seat!

The toolkit was fully equipped, and Lewis selected a pair of tweezers from it, then began restoring the photo!

He was fast at restoring; within just ten minutes, he had restored half of it!
