Chapter 582
Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton were immediately delighted: “Similar p>
Scott Martin nodded: “Yes, very similar! Although your mother’s photo is of her in her forties, she bears a striking resemblance to my grandfather’s first love p>
Keira Olsen: “Does that mean, there’s a possibility that my grandmother was actually your grandfather’s first love p>
Scott Martin nodded again.
Just as Keira Olsen was about to say something, Lewis Horton suddenly took out another photo and handed it to Scott Martin: “How about this one p>
Keira Olsen glanced at it and was surprised to find it was a photo of Rebecca Allen’s mother, Mrs. Allen.
She had investigated Mrs. Allen’s background. How could it be p>
Just then, she heard Scott Martin speak again, puzzled: “Similar, this is too similar p>
Keira Olsen: p>
Mrs. Allen and Jodie South look nothing alike, right?
This is similar?
While she hesitated, she saw Lewis Horton found another photo of a forty-year-old female celebrity online and handed it to Scott Martin.
Scott Martin continued: “Similar, very similar p>
Keira Olsen: p>
She curled the corners of her mouth, finally realizing something: “Are you face blind to Creran people p>
Scott Martin immediately responded: “I’m not face blind towards you p>
Keira Olsen: p>
In fact, many people have this issue; for example, Creran people seeing foreigners, they’re all double-lidded, distinctively chiseled, handsome men and beautiful women—if there aren’t major differences in appearance, it’s hard to recognize someone after one or two meetings.
She sighed deeply.
Then, Lewis Horton steadied her shoulders: “Don’t be scared, I’ve already sent people to search. If they can help old Mr. Martin find his daughter, we might be able to trade this clue for an antidote p>
Keira Olsen nodded.
Just as they were about to leave, a mocking voice came over: “Old Mr. Martin has been searching in Crera for so many years without success, are you two sure you can find them in seven days… oh, counting yesterday, only six days left, can you really find them in such a short time p>
It was Vera South!
Upon seeing her, Keira Olsen’s expression immediately turned furious.
She rushed toward Vera South trying to grab her collar, but to her surprise, Vera South stepped back two steps and blocked her!
The two immediately scuffled. Within just ten seconds, they had exchanged dozens of moves until finally, Keira Olsen spotted a weakness in Vera South, circled behind her, and locked her throat!
Vera South sneered, “Kill me and you’ll never get the antidote p>
Keira Olsen let go of her: “If my father dies, I will make you join him in death p>
Vera South remained aloof, her demeanor radiating tragic compassion: “Then it depends if he deserves it, and whether you have the capability! Keera, you’ve grown up in Crera without any special training, what do you have to compare with me? I advise you to back off early, otherwise, you might lose both your mother and father! It would be too pitiful to lose so badly p>
With those harsh words, Vera South left with a loud, mocking laugh.
Her manner was incredibly arrogant!
Keira Olsen watched her retreating figure, eyes brimming with murderous intent.
Keira Olsen was exuding an aura of ferocity, and when she and Lewis Horton returned to the Olsen family home, they heard cries coming from the living room.
After entering, they found Susan Simpson with her head lowered, wiping her tears.
Beside her was the boy who had accompanied her shopping previously. He was now angrily staring down Mr. Olsen and his wife: “Where’s your son? Peter Olsen? My sister was his lifesaver, how could he call off the wedding just like that? Do you think the Simpson family has no one p>
The young man vehemently stood up, pointing at them: “Today, your family must give us an explanation! My sister went through hardships to save a life, nearly losing her own, and still has a burn scar on her arm. Is this how Peter Olsen repays my sister p>
Mr. Olsen furrowed his brows: “A life-saving grace doesn’t necessarily require marriage, there are other forms of repayment p>
Mr. Olsen’s wife then turned to Susan Simpson: “Susan, I know our Peter wronged you, but two people who don’t love each other being together will only end up unhappy. So, think about it, wouldn’t you consider it? Our family will certainly give you ample compensation p>
Susan Simpson looked upstairs: “Where’s Peter? Why won’t he come down and talk to me personally p>
The boy also nodded: “Right, let Peter Olsen, that scumbag, come down and talk to us face to face p>
Mr. Olsen sighed: “Susan, a melon forcibly twisted is not sweet. Besides, you might not really fit in with our family—it’s not even been good relations so far, so maybe let’s call off this wedding! That said, set your terms, as long as they’re reasonable, we’ll agree! After all, you did save Peter’s life back then p>
Susan Simpson bit her lip after hearing this: “It’s not those things that I want p>
“I know, your feelings for Peter are genuine, so I’m saying, we’ll definitely compensate you… if you don’t speak up, how about… we directly give you a cash sum of one hundred million yuan, how about that p>
For an ordinary family, this sum was astronomical, more money than many could earn in a lifetime, a substantial compensation for Susan Simpson.
Yet Susan Simpson kept her head lowered.
Her brother immediately shouted: “What? Your son’s life, in your eyes, is only worth a hundred million? Isn’t the Olsen Group’s market value worth a hundred billion? I heard Peter Olsen holds a five percent share in your company. Isn’t that five percent… worth fifty billion p>
This stunned Mr. Olsen: “What are you talking about p>
Susan Simpson’s brother, behaving like a hoodlum, blurted out: “His life is worth fifty billion, right? Well then, we won’t ask for much, just half of that will do, twenty-five billion. Transfer it to my sister’s account today, and we’ll leave without saying another word p>
Twenty-five billion p>
This astronomical figure astonished the Olsen family!
Mr. Olsen frowned: “We don’t have that much money p>
“Don’t have? I think you just don’t want to give!” Susan Simpson’s brother promptly stood up: “If you don’t want to give, just say so directly, why let us set terms! Hahaha, you’re really quite hypocritical! Since it’s like this, we’ve nothing more to say. Isn’t the Olsen family’s stock valuable? I wonder if news of this incident would affect you! Abandoning one’s devoted wife, abandoning a lifesaver, is this the moral teaching of your Olsen family p>
This made Mr. Olsen’s face turn.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Peter Olsen was still sleeping.
Suddenly, he stirred awake, barely hearing the argument below, and got up, planning to go check, but just then, South Jenkins also moved and woke up on the bed.
Peter Olsen immediately halted his steps.
He walked over to South Jenkins and voiced the biggest question in his heart: “Was it you who saved me from the car accident p>
