Chapter 500
Chapter 502: Chapter 501 Chapter 502: Chapter 501 Lewis Horton took the phone, glanced at it, and his expression turned gloomy in an instant.
Keira Olsen also furrowed her brows.
The atmosphere between them was unusually heavy.
Keira Olsen looked at the text message again and saw it clearly written:
“The third task, make Scott Martin fall in love with you and enter into marriage with him p>
Scott Martin… Those three words felt familiar. Coincidentally, Keira Olsen had just met him in Clance some time ago–he was an expatriate who had returned from overseas.
It seemed his Chinese wasn’t very good, often causing him to be the butt of jokes.
The two of them did not have much interaction, making this task seem so inexplicable.
And… Keira Olsen was already engaged to Lewis Horton, a fact that had caused quite a stir. This task was simply impossible for her.
Lewis Horton looked pale, his fists clenched as he looked at Keira Olsen, “Keira, the person from the South Family issuing these tasks is really strange. The first task was to get Mary Davis and Ellis Olsen married, which came out of nowhere, and the second task was for you to cooperate with the Five Great Families. This third task is just too preposterous p>
Keira Olsen pondered, “The first task aimed to use Mary Davis and Ellis Olsen’s relationship to tie the Olsen Family. In fact, it overlaps with the second task. Therefore, even after Mary and Ellis got divorced, it didn’t affect the matter. I think the South Family just wants me to maintain a good cooperative relationship with the Five Great Families. The exact reason is unclear. But this Scott Martin, who is he p>
Lewis Horton explained with a dark face, “I had looked into Scott Martin before p>
Back in Oceanion, Scott Martin had pursued Keira Olsen, so he had Tom Davis check on him.
The investigation revealed that this guy came to Crera to penetrate the Crera market, and as for his family…
Lewis Horton explained indifferently, “Overseas, his family is considered an aristocratic lineage. Could the person from the South Family giving you these tasks want you to maintain good relations with every prominent family? Why do they want that? The tasks they issue, aren’t they a bit too strange p>
Keira Olsen nodded, “Yeah p>
Lewis Horton then coughed and glanced at her, “What will you choose then p>
Keira Olsen gave him a look, and saw that the man already seemed somewhat uncomfortable.
Keira Olsen lowered her eyes, “My mother is missing, so I must definitely carry out this task p>
As soon as she said this, she felt a sudden increase in the melancholy emanating from him, “So, that means you’re going to give me up p>
Keira Olsen forced a smile.
This guy was clearly a domineering CEO, so why did he always act like such an aggrieved party?
It made her feel quite heartache.
She hurriedly explained, “That’s not what I mean. I want to get in touch with Scott Martin and see what he’s thinking p>
Lewis Horton’s gaze became even more plaintive.
Keira Olsen waved her hand dismissively, “Don’t look at me like that. Just because I’m supposed to make Scott Martin fall in love with me doesn’t mean he will. I’m not money that everyone likes p>
She meant to comfort Lewis Horton, but to her surprise, just after she finished speaking, a poor-quality Chinese voice came from behind, “Miss Olsen! It’s really you p>
Keira Olsen:?
She slowly turned around and saw Scott Martin in a light-colored suit with a look of delight, walking swiftly towards her. Then, before Keira Olsen could recover, he grabbed her hand,
“Miss Olsen, to meet you again in Clance is truly an honor for me! When I left Oceanion, I regretted not being able to bid you farewell in person. It’s such fate that we’ve met here again p>
Keira Olsen: p>
She subconsciously looked towards Lewis Horton, only to see his face darken.
Lewis Horton stepped forward, pulling at Scott Martin’s hand, trying to separate it from Keira Olsen’s, his tone icy, “Mr. Martin, hello, I don’t recall sending you an invitation to my birthday party. How did you get in p>
Scott Martin, holding Keira Olsen’s hand firmly, ignored Lewis Horton’s words completely, “Miss Olsen, there’s an old Creran saying, ‘A meeting is predestined.’ We are tied together by a thousand-mile marriage thread p>
Keira Olsen: “…Mr. Martin, that saying is not suitable to use between us p>
“Really p>
Scott Martin, however, smiled, “I think it’s quite apt p>
Keira Olsen quickly withdrew her hand, and just as Scott Martin tried to say something more, Lewis Horton immediately stepped in between him and Keira Olsen.
“Mr. Martin, you still haven’t answered, how did you get in here p>
At that, Charles Olsen spoke up, “I brought him in p>
He walked over, high-fived with Scott Martin, and then smiled, “Mr. Martin wants to develop a piece of land and cooperate with our Olsen Family, so I’ve been in touch with Mr. Martin recently. Today being Lewis Horton’s birthday, I naturally brought him along p>
After saying this, he spoke up, “Mr. Martin, let’s go over there and have some fun p>
Scott Martin looked at Keira Olsen, “Miss Olsen, will you join us p>
Keira Olsen smiled, “No, thank you p>
Scott Martin displayed a disappointed expression.
The party soon came to an end, and as the host, Lewis Horton personally saw the Olsen family members out. Keira Olsen was thinking about staying to inquire about the South Family from Old Mrs. Horton, so she accompanied him.
The event was a success for both guests and hosts alike.
When the important guests had left, Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton went upstairs to Old Mrs. Horton’s room together.
It was late, but Old Mrs. Horton had not yet rested. On seeing them come in, she had them sit on the sofa and started to speak, “What do you want to ask p>
Keira Olsen went straight to the point, “Grandma, tell us about the South Family. What exactly is the deal with them p>
On hearing this, Old Mrs. Horton showed a distant look, “The South Family, ah, it actually is a very mysterious clan p>
