Chapter 566
Keira Olsen’s eyes lit up when she saw Lewis Horton.
She immediately carried Amy over and asked in a hushed voice, “Is the photo restoration done p>
Lewis Horton didn’t answer that but looked around at the scene.
At this moment, Vera South frowned and, seeing him stride over, grabbed Scott Martin’s hand to slip a ring on it.
But Scott Martin instantly pulled his hand back, staring at Vera South, and said, “Let’s hear what he has to say first, there might be some twists p>
Vera South snapped, “What kind of twists could there be p>
Scott Martin: “Exactly, what twists could there be? So what if the engagement is delayed a bit p>
Vera South was speechless.
She immediately turned to old Mr. Martin, “Old sir, do you think so too? Just letting these Olsen family wander in and out here p>
Old Mr. Martin heard this and slightly furrowed his brow, he looked at Keira Olsen and slowly said, “Miss Olsen, if you are to marry my grandson, then I still have a chance to switch, but if not, please leave and stop causing trouble here p>
Keira Olsen didn’t say anything for a while.
But Lewis Horton spoke faintly, “The Olsens may leave, but are you sure, old sir, that we Hortons should also go p>
Old Mr. Martin was slightly startled.
The great families of Clance are growing stronger by the day, with some, like the Hortons, starting to expand overseas.
It’s best not to offend if avoidable p>
Old Mr. Martin had to sever ties with the Olsen family; it was a choice forced upon him by the circumstances of both powers.
But the Hortons… being the fifth biggest family in Clance, offending them really isn’t worth it!
Old Mr. Martin then looked at Vera South, “Miss South, surely the Hortons are a force you still want to court? Are you sure you want to drive Mr. Horton away too p>
Vera South coldly responded, “Old Mr. Martin, I’m sure! Remove them immediately p>
Old Mr. Martin tensed his jaw, “You’re sure, but I’m not. I still want to hear what Mr. Horton has to say p>
Vera South angrily retorted, “You… You stubborn old man p>
Old Mr. Martin just shook his head slightly and sighed.
Scott Martin looked at Lewis Horton, his eyes sparkling, “Are you here to save me p>
His look was too much to bear!
Lewis Horton twitched his mouth, walked up to old Mr. Martin, and asked, “If I’m not mistaken, your alliance with the South family is to have a child bearing the Martin bloodline, correct p>
There was no need to hide this.
Initially, Keira Olsen and Scott Martin were planning a fake engagement until they knew that they must have a child to truly bind the two families together; only then did Keira Olsen decide to give up.
Hearing Lewis Horton’s words, old Mr. Martin nodded, “Indeed, whether to marry or not doesn’t matter; it’s mainly about the child. Mr. Horton, have you come around? Are you willing for Miss Olsen to have a child with Martin p>
Lewis Horton:?
Scott Martin’s eyes also lit up instantly, “Is it possible? If so, we don’t necessarily have to share a room; we could do artificial insemination, just use my sperm… I promise I won’t disturb your lives afterward. Mr. Horton, if you can accept this, that would really be great p>
Lewis Horton: p>
He twitched his mouth, feeling an urge to slap this guy!
How dare he plan such a thing?
He hadn’t even been willing for Kiera to have his own children, let alone for this man!
He frowned and said coldly, “Old Mr. Martin, stop joking p>
Old Mr. Martin then looked regretfully at Scott Martin, “It seems you really are stubborn. Actually, having a child really isn’t that big of a deal; why are you so adamantly against it p>
Vera South scoffed, “That’s the blind and narrow-mindedness of love! Keera Olsen is indulged in love, of course, she can’t see the future. Old Mr. Martin, with someone like her, what’s there to hesitate about p>
Old Mr. Martin sighed softly.
Scott Martin then said, “You shut up! Those without love are the most terrifying! What distinguishes humans from animals is that humans have emotions p>
Vera South scoffed, “Emotions are but a shackle! If she wasn’t emotional, wouldn’t it be her marrying you now p>
Vera South stood on the high platform, looking at Keira Olsen, “But Miss Olsen, you’ve repeatedly disrupted my engagement, do you really not take the Martin family seriously p>
Keira Olsen frowned and spread her hands, “I’m not the one talking now, why are you venting at me? Could it be, Miss South, that you are only brave with the meek and fear the strong p>
Vera South was immediately choked.
She furiously looked at Keira Olsen, “Everyone knows Mr. Horton is on your side, he’s here stalling, all to help you p>
After speaking, she fiercely questioned old Mr. Martin, “Old Mr. Martin, if you’re not choosing me, just say it outright, no need to keep humiliating me! I’m asking you one last time, are they to leave, and the engagement continue, or should I go p>
Old Mr. Martin furrowed his brow, showing hesitation.
But after only a moment of hesitation, he finally sighed and still looked at Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton, “Miss Olsen, Mr. Horton, if you can’t provide a reasonable explanation, then indeed, I will have to ask someone to escort you out p>
Lewis Horton, hearing this, clenched his jaw, “Of course, we have a reason, old Mr. Martin, actually, I’ve just finished restoring your photo, brought it to you, and additionally, I want to tell you, I know where your daughter is p>
This information immediately made Vera South scoff, “Impossible! That photo was torn to pieces, how could it possibly be restored! Mr. Horton, what kind of international joke are you making here p>
Lewis Horton smiled, “You might not know, but Crera civilization spans over five thousand years, there actually exists a specialist called a ’restorer’. These experts can even restore corroded ancient paintings, let alone a photo p>
Vera South immediately responded, “But you couldn’t possibly have restored it p>
“Why not?” Lewis Horton looked at her, “Miss South, what makes you so certain p>
Vera scoffed, “It’s impossible because firstly, there wasn’t enough time, and secondly, the photo itself was old and the paper quality was poor. When it was torn, I deliberately damaged a part of it, making it utterly irrestorable p>
Lewis Horton shook his head, “Miss South, I’d advise you not to underestimate people p>
With that, Lewis Horton took out a transparent clipboard from his pocket, which contained a photo that had been torn up and then pieced back together p>
He handed the photo to old Mr. Martin with a slight smile, “Could you check if this is your daughter? If it is, then the marriage between Vera South and Scott Martin can be called off p>
