Chapter 567
Lewis Horton’s statement shocked everyone present, as they all turned to look at him incredulously.
Old Mr. Martin also wanted to see the photograph, but due to the distance, he couldn’t see it clearly p>
Scott Martin hesitantly asked, “Why p>
Lewis Horton turned to Vera South: “Because I not only helped old Mr. Martin find his daughter, I also helped him find his granddaughter p>
This caused Vera’s pupils to constrict, and she angrily exclaimed, “Impossible! This photograph couldn’t possibly be restored! And you couldn’t possibly have found the person p>
Lewis Horton inquired, “Oh, so certain are you? And why exactly is that p>
Vera sneered, “Because when I was tearing up the photo, I shredded the face! I flushed the face part down the drain, so there’s no way you could have restored it p>
Old Mr. Martin, hearing this, was furious, “You… how could you do such a thing p>
Vera smirked, “Because you, the Martin family, are not committed enough! Our girls from the South Family are not to be trifled with at your convenience. Since you chose me, you must stick with your choice to the end p>
Scott Martin was infuriated by her words, “What do you mean stick to the end? Do you think we’re at your beck and call p>
“Is it not so?” Vera raised her chin haughtily, her gaze sweeping past old Mr. Martin, “Old Mr. Martin, haven’t you told your grandson the truth at all p>
Scott immediately turned to old Mr. Martin, “Grandfather, didn’t you say it was about partnership? What’s going on here p>
Old Mr. Martin’s jaw clenched tight.
Vera snorted contemptuously, “If the Martin family wants to join the game, they have to beg us, otherwise why do you think he would be so certain about me p>
After saying this, she looked towards Lewis Horton, “So, your photo could never have been restored. If you don’t believe it, why don’t you show it to old Mr. Martin p>
Old Mr. Martin then turned to look at Lewis Horton, and Kiera Olsen also quickly glanced over, indeed seeing that the restored photograph was missing the faces of two people.
She frowned and stared at Lewis Horton.
Old Mr. Martin’s face was livid with anger, “Mr. Horton, what’s the meaning of this? Do you find it amusing to toy with us p>
Vera snickered, “He’s just trying to stall for time, what else could it be? Old Mr. Martin, can’t you see their intentions yet? Hurry and have someone kick them out p>
Old Mr. Martin took a deep breath, looking at Lewis Horton, “Mr. Horton, Miss Olsen, you’d… better leave p>
A smirk of mockery appeared on Vera’s face, “Just now you were boasting, but now can’t you produce the photo? Keera Olsen, your fiancé, is nothing special after all! I advise you to leave quietly, lest I have someone throw you out p>
At her words, Kiera Olsen suddenly scoffed, “Vera South, you really underestimate others p>
She and Lewis Horton exchanged a look, seemingly understanding each other’s thoughts, and her gaze lowered, slowly stating, “Although the photograph wasn’t restored, this bearing feels very familiar p>
Lewis Horton nodded, “True, the photograph is only missing the faces, but the clothing and dress, as well as the demeanor of the mother and daughter, are all very familiar. So, old Mr. Martin, we can help you find your daughter p>
Old Mr. Martin’s eyes brightened slightly, “Really p>
“Really p>
Lewis Horton spoke calmly.
Vera immediately sneered, “Based on a faceless photograph? Mr. Horton, stop bluffing p>
After saying that, she glared fiercely at old Mr. Martin, “And old Mr. Martin, I told you not to hedge your bets! My patience is limited! Even if they find your daughter, will Keera Olsen marry your grandson p>
Hearing this, the light in old Mr. Martin’s eyes dimmed once more.
He smiled bitterly, “Indeed that’s the case. Mr. Horton, I appreciate your kindness, but when it comes to finding my daughter, I don’t want to owe you favors, lest I’m unable to face you later p>
The Martin family was destined to side with Vera, and a life-and-death battle with Kiera Olsen would ensue!
So, old Mr. Martin smartly chose not to owe them any favors, to avoid future entanglements.
Vera snickered, “Do you hear that? Not to mention the photo isn’t well-restored; even if it were, and you help him find his daughter, you would still have no way to cooperate p>
Lewis Horton laughed, “Who says there’s no way p>
Vera’s eyes immediately narrowed, “What do you mean p>
Lewis Horton slowly began, “Actually, I wasn’t sure about my own thoughts, but seeing Miss South so agitated, it only made me more certain p>
Hearing this, Vera furrowed her brow, “What do you mean? Stop talking nonsense p>
“Every time I’m about to show the photo, Miss South gets so agitated; does this imply that you actually know who old Mr. Martin’s daughter is? The reason you refuse to speak and have been evasive about letting us see the photo is simply because p>
Lewis Horton turned to old Mr. Martin, “Because your daughter is Keera Olsen’s mother! Keera Olsen is your granddaughter! Once this matter is clarified, the Martin family would have no need to form an alliance with Vera! Because… you’ve already been allied with the South Family and have already made your choice p>
Upon these words, silence fell over the room!
Old Mr. Martin incredulously turned to look at Kiera Olsen!
