My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

551  Chapter 550

Jenkins was completely baffled by these words.

"What car?"

As she pondered, she heard Susan say, "At that moment, you were all that was on his mind. People can summon greater strength under extreme conditions."

Those words deeply touched Peter.

He wanted to reach out and hold Susan's hand, to express his sentiment, but as he stretched out his hand, he realized he was holding all those bags.

Peter could only sheepishly withdraw his hand and entered the bridal shop with his hands full.

...

Meanwhile, Keira had also arrived at Scott's temporary residence in Clance.

Although it was said to be temporary, the place turned out to be a manor, fully furnished and clearly well-maintained all year round.

And by the looks of the butler at the entrance, it could be discerned that this was indeed the Martin family's property.

While Keira and the butler were heading inside, Scott and Erin came out to greet her.

As the two of them came out the door, Scott smiled. "If she's willing to come here, she must fancy me a little."

Erin rolled her eyes. "You're overthinking it. I think she's even more interested in me than you."

Scott said, "How could that be? She's not into women!"

Erin said, "But I feel like she came for Vera. Didn't she ask if Vera was here before she came?"

Scott said, "That's just her being polite, knowing that I chose Vera to avoid this arranged marriage..."

Erin was speechless.

The two were talking as they greeted the guests, and they immediately spotted "Keera" and Lewis by her side.

The joyous expression on Scott's face suddenly stiffened.

He twitched the corners of his mouth and then stepped forward, extending his hand to Keira. "Miss Olsen, welcome to my house!"

Keira was going to take his hand out of politeness when Lewis abruptly stepped forward, blocking her path, and firmly shook Scott's hand. "Mr. Martin, I hope you don't mind my uninvited visit. Today, I am merely Miss Olsen's driver."

After saying that, he deliberately glanced at Keira.

Keira didn't know what to say.

This guy couldn't wait to stake his claim.

She then looked toward Erin.

Erin immediately linked arms with her. "Keera, you're here! Come on in! By the way…"

Erin asked, "Didn't Charles come with you?"

Keira replied, "He's still at school. He had classes today."

Erin just said, "I see," and asked, "Which university does he attend?"

"Tsipin University."

Erin's eyes lit up. "How impressive! Did he get on his own, or did your family have to pull some strings?"

Keira said, "He got in on his own."

The Olsen family's children were trained differently than those of other families. At least Uncle Olsen didn't spoil them.

Whether they wanted to go abroad or apply for domestic colleges, they abide by the local rules strictly without exception.

Despite his naive appearance and tendency to be deceived, Charles was into science. He devoted all his brainpower to chemistry and wasn't adept at interpersonal relationships.

Erin's eyes shone even brighter. "So, he must be very smart."

"Quite."

Erin smiled. "That's good. My children will be smart, too..."

Keira was perplexed.

She thought, "Hold on, you guys just had dinner that night, right? Nothing else happened. Why are you talking about children already?"

She hesitantly glanced at Erin. Seeing Erin's look of utter contentment, Keira suddenly felt a heavier burden.

Should she talk to Charles?

Young men should protect themselves when they were away from home!

This thought struck Keira, and even she was taken aback.

She had never been one to meddle, but today, her subconscious concern for Charles meant she truly saw him as a younger brother...

Her gaze dropped, and she followed the two into the living room.

Just as they entered, they saw an elderly man in his sixties or seventies sitting on the sofa. His head was full of white hair, his back was straight, and his face had a few wrinkles. One could vaguely see the handsome features of his youth.

Beside him sat a young woman.

Keira's gaze fell on her. The young woman had a well-defined bone structure and was incredibly gorgeous and poised. Her big, deep-set eyes were filled with scrutiny upon seeing Keira.

Her gaze was firmly fixed on Keira, filled with hostility and caution.

Without any introduction, Keira knew this had to be Scott and Erin's cousin, Vera.

Her surname was South.

In other words, she might be Fox!

Keira withdrew her gaze and looked toward old Mr. Martin, only to see the old man with a stern face also sizing her up. Keira approached and was about to greet him when she heard the elder speak, "Keera Olsen?"

Keira was slightly startled, but she nodded.

The elder immediately lowered his eyes. "Do you want to marry my grandson?"

Scott's face turned red instantly, and he immediately said, "Grandfather, what are you talking about? Miss Olsen is just here for a visit today."

But the old man didn't pay him any heed and was still staring at Keira. "Do you want to marry my grandson?"

His expression was resolute, with an inexplicable sense of righteousness that surprisingly made Keira feel a bit gratified.

He didn't seem to beat around the bush.

He said what he had on his mind.

Keira then turned to look at Lewis, having thought he would certainly assert his dominance again, but he was suddenly very quiet at this moment.

Keira was puzzled.

But Lewis glanced at her, telling her with his eyes that she should decide for herself.

Keira immediately understood.

Lewis had also realized that this old man didn't like beating around the bush, so he no longer wanted to make decisions for her.

Jodie South was still with the South family, and if Keira didn't complete the task quickly and return to the South family, she couldn't guarantee that her mother would remain safe.

The fastest way to complete the task was through an alliance by marriage.

Keira lowered her eyes and said, "No."

The old man immediately asked, "Then what are you doing here?"

Keira glanced at Vera, who was sitting next to the old man, and saw Vera sneer. "Keera, Mr. Martin knows the South family. You don't have to beat around the bush. Just speak frankly."

The South family!

Keira's pupils shrank immediately. She didn't expect Vera to admit her identity so openly!

She looked at Vera coldly, thinking of the accidents that had happened to the people around her multiple times, and a fierce look sparked in her eyes.

She sneered, and before she could speak, Erin said, "Vera, why are you in such a hurry? I know our families want an alliance, but that has nothing to do with Miss Olsen. Besides, I don't think you even like my brother, and an arranged marriage seems pointless. Wouldn't it be better to find someone we actually like?"

"No."

Vera immediately answered, "The purpose of my coming to Crera is to marry your brother."

Erin said, "But my brother doesn't like you!"

"That doesn't matter. We can develop feelings after marriage."

"What if my brother never likes you?"

"Then we'll work on it for a lifetime."

"..." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Erin was speechless. "Why are you so stubborn? My brother really doesn't like you. He likes someone else..."

Vera looked at Keira. "That's Keera's problem then. Will you marry Scott or Lewis?"

After that, Vera's gaze landed on Lewis. "Mr. Horton, right? Are you willing to let her go and let her marry Scott?"

Lewis pursed his lips and didn't say a word.

But old Mr. Martin turned his gaze toward Lewis upon hearing this, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, but he also didn't say anything and shifted his gaze away.

Scott was the one who spoke up immediately. "Vera, Miss Olsen is just visiting today. Don't talk about these nonsensical things here!"

No sooner had he said that than old Mr. Martin said, "Scott, you said you have someone you adored, and I'm willing to accept that. That's why we have this meeting today."

Old Mr. Martin looked directly at Keira. "Since my grandson likes you, I'll just ask you one question. Will you marry my grandson or not?"

Keira said in resignation, "Mr. Martin, I came here today to discuss with you and see if there is any possibility of cooperation between our two families."

"There's no possibility. The Martin family has always been independent and won't cooperate with any enterprise."

Old Mr. Martin rejected her proposition and then slowly said, "I'll just ask you one simple question. Will you marry my grandson or not? I have to choose a daughter from the South family to be my daughter-in-law, and for me, it doesn't matter who it is. If you won't marry Scott, then I'll arrange Scott and Vera's engagement party tomorrow! Just make sure you won't regret it."

Keira was dumbfounded.
