My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

Chapter 570  Hold on!

On the other side, at the banquet.

Charles was consoling Erin. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Erin sobbed. "I don't understand. Has Grandpa just given up on me? Where do I go from here?"

Charles said, "Come to my place! Aren't you supposed to marry me? Just move into my house!"

But Erin shook her head. "That doesn't seem right."

Rebecca immediately nodded, "Right, it doesn't seem right. I have a house in Clance. Why don't you stay at my place?"

If Erin stayed with the Olsen family, she would be able to see Keira every day, and Rebecca couldn't let that happen.

Erin hesitated, then looked at Charles again.

Charles immediately said, "Why doesn't it seem right? That settles it, then. You'll stay at my place! My parents will definitely welcome you with open arms! Do you have any luggage? I'll help you pack."

Erin lowered her head. "I don't want anything from this house! Since I agreed not to take anything from the Martin family, I'll keep my word! I'm an adult. I can find a job on my own!"

Charles nodded. "Right, and you have me too! You can depend on me!"

Erin looked ahead again and said, "Why have our families become like this?"

Then, with gritted teeth, she said, "It's all Vera's fault! If only I could ruin today's engagement banquet!"

She looked at Charles and said, "What if I knock my brother unconscious and take him away? Without my brother, the engagement banquet can't possibly go on, right?"

Charles's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak when an elderly voice rang out. "Without Scott, there are still your other brothers. The Martin family has plenty of sons!"

Erin turned her head and saw old Mr. Martin standing behind her.

Erin snorted. "My other brothers aren't as obedient as Scott!"

Old Mr. Martin lowered his gaze. "Whoever marries a daughter from the South family will inherit the family business. Do you think they'll say no to that?"

Erin was stunned. "Is that even a thing?!"

Old Mr. Martin nodded. "Indeed. So, you won't be able to cause any trouble today!"

Erin said, "If I can't steal away Scott, can I at least mess with Vera?"

Old Mr. Martin scoffed. "Do you think Vera is someone you can mess with?"

Erin was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

James said, "That Vera has impressive physical skills. Even without her bodyguards, she alone would probably take ten people to subdue her!"

Erin was dumbfounded. "What?"

James said indifferently, "Just now, when my little sister tried to snatch the photo, her movements were quick and strong, and that was without Vera even knowing it. Why do you think it wasn't successful?"

An ordinary person couldn't have stopped the Freeman Sect's senior sister!

Erin's eyes widened. "She, she, she knows martial arts?"

James looked at her face. "You should be grateful that she still wants to cooperate with the Martin family. She didn't put much strength into the slap she gave you just now."

Erin was speechless.

She was completely silent.

Holding Amy, Keira was also in deep thought. She occasionally looked down at her phone, watching time pass by.

Another twenty minutes had gone by.

She wondered if Lewis had finished restoring the photo...

While she was contemplating, there was a stir from the rest area. Two doors opened simultaneously. Scott and Vera came out wearing formal attires.

All eyes in the room fell on them.

Vera walked to Scott's side and hooked her arm into his, then glanced at Keira with a showy smile before moving forward.

Scott followed her like a marionette, his face expressionless.

Anyone could see Scott's reluctance.

Yet no one said anything, much less stood up for him…

Together, they slowly made their way to the stage…

Old Mr. Martin stood by Keira's side and said, "Keera, are you sure you don't want to fight for it?"

Keira clenched her jaw and remained silent.

Old Mr. Martin sighed. "Actually, between the two of you, I prefer you. After all, you're reasonable, but Vera isn't at all… If you stand up now, I'll definitely take Scott and stand by your side."

Keira looked at him. "Sir, I have a husband."

Old Mr. Martin replied. "Isn't he just your fiancé? The engagement can be canceled, and even if you're married, you can divorce. It's not a big deal. Keera, isn't Scott your good friend? Actually, all I need is for you two to have a child. Do you understand I need a child with the South family's bloodline?"

Keira shook her head. "I don't understand what you're thinking, but I don't agree with this kind of alliance through marriage. Women aren't tools for bearing children!"

"I have never dared to treat you as tools for bearing children…"

Old Mr. Martin said helplessly, "Never mind, I won't force it. Perhaps this is the Martin family's fate."

Keira asked, "Why must you insist on an alliance with the South family? What kind of family are they?"

"I can't say."

Old Mr. Martin said, "It's the rule."

Keira frowned. "What is it about the South family that makes the Martin family so devoted?"

The answer from Old Mr. Martin was still the same. "I can't say."

Keira was at a loss for words.

They could only stand there, watching as Vera led Scott to the stage. Keira's jaw tightened, and her fingers clenched tightly.

Keira glanced at her phone once more.

It had been half an hour since Lewis left. Had the photos been pieced together?

She couldn't help but look back toward the entrance.

At this time, Vera, with Scott in tow, arrived at the stage. Vera took the microphone straightaway and said, "Today is the auspicious day of my engagement to Scott, and I thank everyone present for coming. Without further ado, our engagement ceremony will be complete as we exchange rings! From this day forward, I shall be Mrs. Martin!"

After saying this, she placed the microphone to the side and took a box from the master of ceremonies. She opened it to reveal two rings inside.

Vera picked up one of them, smiling coyly at Scott.

Scott didn't move. He looked toward Keira as if seeking rescue.

But then he saw that Keira's gaze was fixed on the door, and he let out a wry smile before slowly stretching his hand toward Vera.

Keira was frantic!

She checked the time again and looked toward the stage; if Lewis didn't arrive soon, it would be too late!

Once they exchanged rings, the deal would be settled.

Scott's hand was grabbed by Vera, and just as Vera was about to slip the ring on, a voice suddenly rang out. "Wait!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw Lewis striding in through the entrance!
