505 Chapter 504
Lewis took over the phone, and his face darkened
instantly after a glance.
Keira also furrowed her brows.
There was a rare heaviness in the air between them.
Keira looked at the text message once more.
It read, “Your third task is to make Scott Martin fall in love with you and enter into an alliance marriage with
him.”
Scott Martin… This name sounded slightly familiar. Coincidentally, Keira met him in Clance not long ago; he was that expatriate who had returned from
overseas.
It seemed he hadn’t mastered the native language and often created embarrassing moments.
The two had hardly any interaction; the assignment of this task was inexplicably strange.
Moreover… Keira and Lewis were already engaged, which was the talk of the town, making this task fundamentally impossible for her.

Lewis’s face turned ashen, and he clenched his fists, looking at Keira, “Keira, the tasks from the South family are really odd. The first task was to have Mary marry Ellis out of the blue, and the second task had you cooperate with the five major families. This third task is just too preposterous!”
Keira pondered. “The first task aimed to use Mary and Ellis’s relationship to bind the Olsen family, which actually overlaps with the second task. Hence, even after Mary and Ellis got divorced, the situation didn’t change. I think the South family simply wants me to maintain a good cooperative relationship with the five major families. The specific reasoning is unclear. But this Scott Martin, who is he?”
Lewis explained with a grim face, “I have done some research on this guy before.”
When he was in Oceanion, Scott Martin pursued Keira, and Lewis had Tom look into that man.
It turned out this guy came to Crera just to penetrate the Creran market, and as for his family…
Lewis explained lightly, “Abroad. They are considered a nobility. Is the South family issuing you that task

trying to have you maintain good relations with every reputable family? Why would they do that? Aren’t the tasks they are issuing a bit too strange?”
Keira nodded. “I agree.”
Lewis coughed slightly, looking at her, “So, what will your decision be?”
Keira stole a glance at him and saw the man looking somewhat uneasy.
Keira lowered her eyes. “My mother’s life and death are uncertain, so this task is definitely something I must
do…”
As soon as she spoke, she could feel Lewis become dejected. “So you’re going to give me up?”
Keira smiled.
Lewis was an aloof, hard–to–please person. Why did he always look like the aggrieved party?
It made her feel quite sorry for him.
She hurriedly explained, “That’s not what I mean. I want to contact Scott Martin and see what he’s up to.”
Lewis’s eyes were filled with an even more profound

sense of sadness.
Keira waved her hands. “Don’t look at me like that. I’m
just going to negotiate some business partnership with him. Besides, even if I try to make Scott Martin fall for me, that doesn’t mean he will! I’m not Helen of Troy! I can’t make every man fall in love with me!”
The words were meant to comfort Lewis, but just as she finished speaking, suddenly, a voice with broken Creran came from behind. “Miss Olsen! It really is you!”
Keira was dumbfounded.
She turned slowly and saw Scott Martin in a light–colored suit, his face brimming with joy as he approached quickly. Then, taking advantage of Keira’s startled state, he took her hand in his.
“Miss Olsen, it is truly my privilege to reencounter you in Clance! When I left Oceanion, I was a bit reluctant and couldn’t say goodbye to you in person. I never expected us to meet again here!”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
She instinctively looked at Lewis and saw that his expression had darkened.

Lewis stepped forward and grabbed Scott Martin’s hand, trying to pull it apart from Keira’s, his tone ice cold. “Mr. Martin, hello, I don’t remember sending you an invitation to my birthday party. How did you get in?”
Scott Martin held on to Keira’s hand tightly,
completely ignoring Lewis’s words, “Miss Olsen, an old Creran is saying, ‘An encounter is predestined by fate just like a marriage is bound by a thread across a thousand miles!“”
Keira said, “…Mr. Martin, that proverb isn’t suitable for
use between the two of us.”
“Is that so?”
Scott just laughed, “I think it’s perfectly fitting!”
Keira quickly withdrew her hand, and as Scott was about to come closer to say something else, Lewis stepped between him and Keira.
“Mr. Martin, you still haven’t explained how you got in.”
With that, Charles said, “I brought him in!”
He walked over and high–fived Scott, laughing. “Mr.

505 Chapter 504
Martin is planning to develop a plot of land in collaboration with the Olsen family, so I’ve been communicating with Mr. Martin recently. Since it’s Lewis’s birthday today, it was only natural for me to bring him along!”
Having said that, he turned to Keira. “Keera, let’s go play some games over there.”
Keira instinctively glanced at Lewis.
They moved toward the sofa nearby, and just as they joined in, they saw a crowd of young people gathered around, playing a game.
ag
They were engrossed in a mobile team–based game.
There were five people per team, and they were engaged in a ranked match.
Charles immediately joined the game with Scott Martin in tow.
Keira leaned to the side, watching Scott closely.
Lewis joined her, murmuring flatly, “This man is certainly not naive. He must be hiding some secrets. Otherwise, the South family wouldn’t have arranged for you to marry him. He could very well be one of the

villains within the South family!”
Keira fell silent.
She coughed softly. “Anyway, let’s get on his good side first and then see what happens.”
Upon hearing this, Lewis’s eyes darkened.
After a moment, he said, “You’re right. I’ll have someone continue to investigate his whereabouts.”
“Alright.”
Keira then touched her chin. “How do you gain
someone’s favor, become friends, and then get them to help me?”
What she lacked the most since childhood was friends.
Due to her upbringing, she wasn’t good at
communicating or making friends. The few friends she had were either Keera’s close girlfriends or those who took the initiative to befriend her.
Making friends proactively now seemed a bit difficult, didn’t it?
Although it seemed like Scott Martin was quite enthusiastic about her…

As Keira pondered, Lewis coughed. “You could compliment him more.”
Keira sincerely asked for advice. “How should I compliment him?”
Lewis nodded slightly, “You see those few guys…”
Keira saw five guys playing games while cursing loudly.
James said, “What’s with that Doomfist? Can’t you
move properly?”
Charles said, “Damn! Doomfist, what are you doing? Can you even hit a sniper shot?”
The other two Olsen brothers were also angrily cursing, “He’s useless! Seriously, does he even know how to play?”
Keira, who had never played this game and didn’t quite understand how it worked, glanced at Lewis, who coughed softly. “You can compliment his upbringing.”
Keira immediately nodded her head.
After one round of gaming, Scott smiled and put down his phone while the other four looked upset,
continuing to curse and complain.
505 Chapter 504
Lewis then gave Keira a nod.
Keira immediately gave an “OK” gesture, coughed softly, and slowly started, “Well…”
All five gamers turned their gaze toward her at once.
Keira glanced at Scott Martin and said unhurriedly, not being good at complimenting others. “It’s just a game,
so there’s no need to be so irritable. You four should
really learn from Mr. Martin.”
Charles immediately inquired, “Learn what?”
Keira slowly said, “I saw you guys were continuously cursing at Doomfist just now, but Mr. Martin didn’t say a single word the whole time. Such temperament is awe–inspiring!”
After her praise, she even gave Scott a thumbs up.
Then, she sneakily glanced at Lewis.
Lewis was trying to suppress a smile at the corner of his lips.
Keira suddenly realized something was off, then looked at the five men, only to see all four Olsen brothers
twitch their mouths.
