My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

559  Chapter 558

Scott looked at the message and sighed.

He replied, "I've asked Grandpa. He won't change his mind even if we find his daughter."

He thought Keira would give up after he said this, but he didn't expect Keira to reply immediately. "It doesn't matter. If there's a slim chance, I want to try."

Seeing that, Scott replied, "Then I'll ask Grandpa about it."

After all, the photo was old Mr. Martin's private property. Scott had to inquire about it, and all the photos had been taken away by old Mr. Martin.

After sending this message, he went upstairs.

He saw old Mr. Martin standing at the bay window, looking out.

They lived in the suburbs, with a chain of mountains stretching in the distance. At night, the moonlight sprinkled on the mountain tops, making it look serene and peaceful.

Scott walked up behind him, and old Mr. Martin said, "Are you here to call off tomorrow's engagement party again?"

Scott shook his head. "Not me. It's Keira. She wants to try again."

Old Mr. Martin sighed. "Scott, I advise you to keep your distance from Keira after getting engaged."

Scott was puzzled. "Why?"

Old Mr. Martin lowered his gaze. "Because Vera and she are mortal enemies. If you marry Vera, the Martin family will side with Vera. Afterward, we'll be in opposition to Keira. I don't want you caught in the middle."

Scott tensed his jaw. "Grandpa, what's the matter with the South family? Aren't Vera and Keira both from the South family? Why would they be enemies?"

Old Mr. Martin sighed. "For some things, the less you know, the better. Tell Keira not to waste her efforts. I'll find my daughter on my own." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Scott asked again, "So there's really no room for negotiation?"

Old Mr. Martin shook his head. "Unless Keira is willing to marry you and bear your child. Blood ties are the most solid relationship, which will never break. Otherwise, why would I insist you enter a marital alliance?"

Scott clenched his fists tightly.

Old Mr. Martin said, "This matter was sealed the moment Keira refused to marry you, with no room for maneuver. Of course, unless..."

Old Mr. Martin smiled. "Unless Keira herself is related to us by blood, but how could that be possible?"

Scott bowed his head and sighed.

Old Mr. Martin patted his shoulder. "Good boy, go to bed and meet your fiancée with a spirited outlook tomorrow. Vera is, after all, your distant cousin. If you marry her, you have to be responsible for her."

Scott spoke in a dull voice, "I know."

Marriages within wealthy families were just like that. Everyone was but a pitiful person.

Scott wouldn't distance himself from Vera due to her domineering personality. If they did enter marriage, he would be respectful and accommodating.

He sighed and turned to leave but then looked toward old Mr. Martin. "Please give me the photo. How can I help you find someone without the photo?"

Old Mr. Martin handed the photo to him and said, "Don't just give the photo to anyone. I don't want my daughter's information exposed, lest it bring trouble to her. You can only show the photo to people you trust."

"Okay."

Scott took the photo and left.

…

The Olsen family.

Keira and Lewis stayed with Amy in the suite specifically prepared for her by Uncle Olsen.

Amy and the nanny had already gone to sleep, while Keira and Lewis were sitting on the sofa, both feeling somewhat troubled.

The two originally considered using interests as bait, but unexpectedly, old Mr. Martin was immune to both carrot and stick, leaving only the path of marriage alliance as an option.

Keira had so many identities and disguises, and none had been revealed before she had already been rejected, which gave her a feeling of having strength but nowhere to apply it.

She propped up her chin and looked toward Lewis. "What do you suggest we do? If enticement through benefits doesn't work, should we resort to threats of force?"

Lewis said indifferently, "It's not out of the question."

Keira rolled her eyes. "But the Martin family only has a handful of people here; their stronghold is overseas. Where am I supposed to get international power to threaten them with force?"

Lewis said, "I could give it a try."

When Keira heard this, she immediately turned to look at him.

Lewis often attended international conferences, of which Keira was aware. Sometimes, she could catch bits of sensitive information when overhearing their conversations.

However, she had never probed nor asked about what exactly Lewis's influence overseas entailed.

Now, listening to him, why did it feel... somewhat formidable?

Nevertheless, she didn't pry further and just said, "Even if we threaten them with force, they would be reluctant, so it's not very useful."

As she spoke, she sighed.

At that moment, her phone suddenly rang. She recognized the number. It was actually the one she had called Fox with when monitoring Susan's phone activities.

Keira frowned and sneered before answering the call.

As expected, an electronic voice said, "Rabbit, have you given up?"

Keira immediately narrowed her eyes.

The other side chuckled lightly. "I was really happy to see you today."

It was indeed Vera!

Keira frowned. "Vera, you think you're going to win?"

"Of course, the engagement banquet is tomorrow. On the night of the engagement banquet, I will consummate the marriage with Scott, and as soon as I get pregnant, my alliance with the Martin family will be secured."

No longer disguising her voice with the electronic tone, Vera said, "I have no lover, or rather, I've never put love before interests. That's why I can beat you. Rabbit, do you want to send Amy over right now?"

Keira tightened her fists at these words and sneered coldly. "If you have the guts, come and snatch her yourself. I'll make sure it's a one-way trip for you!"

"Well..."

The voice on the other side laughed in a devilish way. "You say all these harsh words, but what use are they? In the end, the winner is me. As for you... Well, you could give up and support me. Be my little lackey, and maybe I will spare your life! After all, only one of us can win. Oh, actually, if you were to die, no one would look after Amy, and she would end up mine... Ha!"

Fox said this much and then hung up the phone.

Keira was so angry her face turned pale. She abruptly turned to look at Lewis. "About the forceful threats, can you really pull it off?"

Lewis said, "Yes, I can, but if we do resort to force, we might destroy the Martin family. That way, they won't be able to serve as your support anymore. We need to determine how exactly the support of the Martin family is useful to your future."

Keira was startled.

Who would have thought Lewis's threats could be so potent?

The Martin family was innocent, weren't they? They were just picking a side... Moreover, she considered Scott a friend...

As she was struggling with this, Keira received a text from Scott. "Grandpa showed me the photo, but he won't allow me to take a picture of it. Shall we meet and talk?"

Upon seeing this message, Keira immediately responded, "Okay, I'm coming to see you now."

After sending the message, she got to her feet.

In her gut, she had a feeling that she needed to see this picture...
