560 Chapter 559

….

Keira didn’t know what had gotten into her, perhaps like a drowning person clutching at the last straw.

The Martin family desired neither power nor wealth, which left her feeling at a loss for where to begin.

Now that she finally knew old Mr. Martin’s weak point, she was definitely going to give it a try.

Lewis stood up with her. “I’ll go with you.”

Keira nodded, and as they were getting ready to leave, she received a message from Scott. “I’m going to try on my clothes now. Tomorrow is my engagement party, and I invite you to come. We can chat then.”

Reading this message, Keira paused slightly, not knowing why, but she felt that Scott had become somewhat colder toward her, seemingly keeping his distance on purpose.

Upon reflection, she understood why.

The engagement party between Scott and Vera was definitely going to happen the following day, and considering that Vera and Keira were rivals, Scott at least had to show respect to Vera, his fiancée.

Keira pursed her lips, knowing that if she didn’t devise a plan, the Martin family would side with Vera.

Keira replied to the message. “Okay, I’ll definitely be there tomorrow.”

After putting down her phone, she was somewhat anxious.

Seeing her like this, Lewis said, “Meet force with force, and flood with dike. Don’t worry about it.”

Keira nodded. “I’m going to take a shower.”

After she went to the bathroom, Lewis fell silent for a moment before heading out to the balcony, where he made a call to Tom.

Tom must have just fallen asleep, as his voice was a bit muffled. “Boss, what’s up? It’s so late.”

“Get the forces in Country F ready; if necessary, transfer some people from the southeast region over there.”

Tom quickly perked up upon hearing this. “What do we need to do? Is there a mission?”

Lewis then said, “Find out all of the Martin family’s assets and be ready to take over at any moment to replace them!”

Tom was shocked. “Boss, have you lost your mind? Didn’t we check on the Martin family before? They are the nobility of Country F. Do you want to replace them? How is that possible?! Unless we move all our overseas forces there!”

At these words, Lewis lowered his gaze.

Indeed.

To the outside world, the Martin family appeared as a prominent Creran family, yet a thorough investigation would reveal that they were the nobility of Country F and the current king was Scott’s own uncle.

That was why the Martin family didn’t lack money or power.

This was exactly why Keira had always wanted to cooperate with old Mr. Martin yet had never managed to do so. They didn’t regard ordinary families with interest.

Even the entire Olsen family would fall short in status when dealing with them, let alone Keira.

But…

Lewis lifted his head, his gaze resolute. “Keira chose me, so I must pave the way for her. I can’t let her face difficulty.”

Keira had never hesitated to choose him, so he must solve the problem with the Martin family for her!

Since the Martin family intended to form an alliance with the Souths, then why not go all out and replace the Martin family? Even if Vera married into the Martin family, what of it? All of the Martin family’s influence would be his, and thus, Keira’s!

Tom said, “Boss, we’ve been building up our forces overseas for so long, a whole ten years, all for that one thing. If we target the Martin family now, we may ruin everything we’ve worked for. You…”

Before he could finish, Lewis cut him off. “If I can set up the board once, I can do it a second time! I can wait another ten years, but Keira can’t wait that long.”

He could tell that Keira might lose her mind if Jodie South wasn’t saved soon.

She appeared calm, but every time Jodie was mentioned, Keira grew more frantic than the last.

Tom paused slightly, then asked in resignation, “Have you made up your mind?”

“I have.”

“Alright.”

Tom answered, “We’ll follow your orders in everything. Moreover, for the sake of Miss Keira, all of this is indeed worth it!”

After hanging up, Lewis looked toward the shower. He could vaguely see the graceful figure inside, and his eyes seemed to grow darker.

From the moment Keira made her choice without hesitation when old Mr. Martin asked her to choose, Lewis knew he had loved the right person.

He absolutely wouldn’t let Keira fall into a predicament and would definitely help her complete the task given by the South family and rescue Jodie South with Keira.

When Keira came out of the room, she saw Lewis looking at her seriously.

She looked down at herself.

She was dripping from the shower. Wrapped in a towel, she was drying her hair, exposing her shoulders and a bit of her lower legs. There wasn’t anything else.

What was Lewis looking at?

Did she have foam on her head that she hadn’t rinsed off?

As Keira was doubting herself, Lewis suddenly stepped forward and hugged her tightly.

Keira was slightly startled, then asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Keira, remember, no matter what happens, I’m there for you.”

The restless feeling in Keira’s chest seemed to calm down a bit with those words.

Having sensed Scott’s attitude and knowing there was no room for negotiation on old Mr. Martin’s part, she was indeed anxious.

Fearing for Jodie’s safety, even when Keira was taking a shower just now, she had been thinking about ensuring her mother’s safety and sabotaging tomorrow’s engagement party.

But as soon as Lewis uttered those words, she suddenly felt a sense of tranquility.

No matter what kind of storm tomorrow might bring, she would deal with those problems!

Thinking this, the heavy feeling in Keira’s chest seemed to lighten a bit. She hugged Lewis tightly and kissed him.

Lewis wrapped his arms firmly around her waist and lowered his head to deepen the kiss.

The two of them rolled onto the bed.

After a bout of passion, Lewis suddenly realized something. “I haven’t taken a shower.”

Keira pushed him slightly. “Then you better go…”

However, Lewis suddenly picked her up. “It’s so hot; you must have sweated too. Let’s take a shower together…”

He carried Keira and strode toward the bathroom.

There was a double massage bathtub in the bathroom, and he smiled faintly. “My future father-in-law has arranged everything perfectly.”

Keira didn’t know what to say.

Keira had thought it would be a sleepless night, but she didn’t expect that after so much exertion with Lewis, she would eventually fall into a deep sleep.

It wasn’t until she woke up the next day and saw that it was already eleven in the morning that she sat up.

Lewis sat on the sofa in the room with a satisfied look as he dealt with matters.

With his casual demeanor, one couldn’t tell at all that he had just issued decisive orders online. He said gently, “Keira, get up and get ready. We’re going to attend their engagement party.”
