587 Chapter 586: The Truth!

….

Keira and Lewis were immediately delighted. “Really?”

Scott nodded. “Yes, very much! Although the photo of your mother is from when she was over forty years old, she looks incredibly like Grandpa’s first love!”

Keira said, “So, you mean to say that my grandmother might actually be your grandfather’s first love?”

Scott nodded.

Just as Keira wanted to say something, Lewis suddenly produced another photo and handed it to Scott. “Then what do you think about this one?”

Keira glanced at it and realized it was a photo of Rebecca’s mother, Mrs. Allen.

She had investigated Mrs. Allen’s background. How could she possibly be…

Before she could finish the thought, she heard Scott say, “Yes, she looks like her, too!”

Keira was dumbfounded.

Mrs. Allen and Jodie South looked completely different, didn’t they?

How could they look alike?

As she hesitated, she saw Lewis find another photo of a forty-year-old female online celebrity and pass it to Scott.

Scott said, “Yes, that also looks like her!”

Keira didn’t know what to say.

She twitched the corner of her mouth, finally realizing something. “Are you face-blind to Creran people?”

Scott immediately said, “I can recognize you.”

Keira was speechless.

Many people had this issue. For instance, Creran people felt foreigners all had big eyes and distinct facial features. If there wasn’t a significant difference in appearance, it was hard to tell two such people apart after meeting them only once or twice.

She suddenly sighed.

Lewis then patted her shoulder. “Don’t be scared. I’ve already sent people to look into it. If they can help old Mr. Martin find his daughter, then using that lead to exchange for an antidote should also be possible.”

Keira nodded.

As the two of them were about to leave, they heard a mocking voice. “Old Mr. Martin has been searching in Crera for so many years without any success. Are you two certain that within seven days… actually, you only have six days now, you can find his daughter?”

As the two of them were about to leave, they heard a mocking voice. “Old Mr. Martin has been searching in Crera for so many years without any success. Are you two certain that within seven days… actually, you only have six days now, you can find his daughter?”

It was Vera!

Upon seeing her, Keira immediately showed an angry expression.

She rushed up to Vera, trying to grab her collar, but unexpectedly, the next moment, Vera stepped back and blocked Keira’s attack!

The two of them immediately scuffled. Within a mere ten seconds, they had exchanged several dozen moves. Finally, Keira spotted a flaw in Vera’s moves, circled around to her back, and locked onto her throat!

Vera scoffed coldly. “Kill me, and you can forget about getting the antidote!”

Keira immediately let go of her. “If my father dies, I’ll kill you!”

Still arrogant, Vera spoke with a tone of condescending pity. “We’ll see if he’s worth it or if you even have the capability! Keera, you’ve grown up in a place like Crera without any special training. What do you have to compete with me? I advise you to withdraw now to avoid losing further! After losing your mother, you’ll lose your father as well! It would be too tragic.”

Leaving behind those harsh words, Vera burst into a long laugh as she left.

Her demeanor was exceptionally arrogant!

Keira watched her leave, a murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

When Keira returned to the Olsen residence with Lewis, she overheard crying from the living room.

As soon as they entered, they found Susan, with her head down, wiping away tears.

Beside her was the young man who had accompanied her shopping at the mall. He was now angrily staring at Peter’s parents. “Where is your son? Where is Peter? My sister saved his life; how can he just call off the engagement like that? Does he think the Simpson family has no one to answer to?”

The man suddenly stood up, pointing at them. “Today, the Olsen family must give us an explanation! My sister risked her own life to save Peter, and she still bears a burn scar on her arm. Is this how Peter repays my sister?”

Mr. Olsen furrowed his eyebrows. “While that was a huge favor, marriage isn’t the only way to repay her. There could be another form of compensation!”

10:08

Peter’s mother then looked toward Susan. “Susan, I know Peter did wrong by you, but two people who don’t love each other will only be unhappy together. Just think about it. Would you consider another option? The Olsen family will definitely give you ample compensation!”

Susan raised her head to glance upstairs. “Where is Peter? Why doesn’t he come down and talk to me himself?”

The man nodded in agreement. “Yes, let that scumbag Peter come down and talk to us face to face!”

Mr. Olsen sighed. “Susan, you can’t force love, and besides, it seems you and our family might not be well-suited. Maybe you and Peter aren’t meant to be together. You haven’t even joined us formally, and you’ve already had unpleasant altercations with several family members. Maybe it’s best if we call off this marriage. Name your terms. As long as it’s not too outrageous, we’ll agree! After all, you did save Peter’s life.”

Upon hearing this, Susan bit her lip. “I don’t want money…”

“I know you care for Peter, which is why I said we would compensate you… If you don’t know what to ask, how about… we give you cash, like one million? How about that?”

To an ordinary family, that was an astronomical sum that they couldn’t earn in a lifetime. It was a significant amount to offer Susan.

Yet, Susan still hung her head low.

Her “brother” immediately shouted. “What? Is your son’s life only worth one million in your eyes? Isn’t the Olsen Group valued at tens of billions? I heard that Peter holds 5% of the shares in your company, which amounts to… fifty billion?”

This statement stunned Mr. Olsen. “What are you talking about?”

Behaving like a rascal, the man blurted out, “Isn’t his life worth fifty billion? Fine, we won’t ask for much, just half of that amount. Transfer twenty-five billion to my sister’s account today, and we’ll leave without another word!”

Twenty-five billion…

That astronomical figure dumbfounded the Olsens!

Mr. Olsen’s eyebrows knit together. “We don’t have that kind of money at hand…”

“You don’t have it? It seems you just don’t want to pay!” The man shouted, “If you don’t want to pay, just say so. You asked us to name our terms… You really are hypocrites! Since that’s the case, there’s nothing left to discuss. The Olsen Group’s stocks are valuable, aren’t they? I wonder what impact it would have if news of this were to get out! Abandoning a wife in dire straits and forsaking a life-saver, is that the kind of values the Olsen family teaches?”

This comment made Mr. Olsen go pale.

Meanwhile, Peter was still asleep upstairs.

Suddenly, he woke up with a start as he faintly heard the argument below. He got up, intending to go out and see when Jenkins stirred and woke up as well.

Peter immediately halted in his tracks.

He went straight to Jenkins and asked the question that weighed heaviest on his mind. “Were you the one who saved me from that car accident?”
