639 Chapter 638
Erin lounged comfortably on the sofa, casually snapping her
fingers at the nearby butler. “A cappuccino, please.”
Unaware of the recent conversation, the butler quickly brought the prepared coffee and handed it to Erin.
“Thank you,” Erin said with a sweet smile.
The butler waved his hand dismissively. “Miss Martin, there’s no need for such politeness.”
He then looked at Uncle Olsen and Keira. “Sir, Miss, would you like anything to drink?”
Keira shook her head while Uncle Olsen stood up. “I’m going to grab something to eat.”
Having slept for so many days, his stomach was empty.
Apart from that, his departure signaled to Keira that he hadn’t detected any hostility from Erin.
Nearing his fifties, Uncle Olsen was skilled at reading people and rarely wrong in his judgments.
Keira simply nodded.
Uncle Olsen followed the butler toward the dining area.
Erin immediately stood up. “Uncle, wait for me! I’m hungry, too!”
She then turned to Keira. “Won’t you join us for a bite?”

At that moment, Erin still appeared to be the innocent young girl she seemed to be.
It was unclear whether she had acted this way for so long that it had become second nature or if she truly retained a pure heart.
Her demeanor seemed entirely genuine as if she wasn’t the same person who had been negotiating with Keira moments earlier.
Keira lowered her gaze, noticing Lewis, who had approached unnoticed. She told Erin, “You go ahead. I’m not hungry.”
She walked with Lewis to a corner.
Keira looked at him. “Do you think she’s a problem?”
“From our conversation just now, I sensed no deceit in her.”
Lewis replied without hesitation.
Keira nodded and then asked, “What do you think I should do
next?”
If Keera had indeed chosen to submit to Fox, should Keira serve
Erin or oppose her?
Erin and Keira were both old Mr. Martin’s granddaughters.
Considering Erin’s influence within the Special Division, she likely had her own supporters in Clance’s five major families.
The task Keira had barely completed for the South family could lead to endless complications if she clashed with Erin.
Moreover, Charles was in love with Erin, and while Uncle Olsen
could unhesitatingly support Keira, what about Charles?
Were the Olsen brothers once again facing a dilemma between

siw a wife or a sister?
Why did Keira always seem to be at odds with her brothers‘
interests?
She was becoming less certain.
As Keira wrestled with her thoughts, Lewis suddenly said. “Keira, I have never put my fate in anyone else’s hands.”
Keira was startled.
Lewis continued, “If you hand over all the completed tasks to Erin, what’s next? She’ll promise to help you return to the South family to save your mother, right?”
Keira clenched her jaw and nodded.
She wasn’t interested in the South family, she just wanted to rescue her mother and live peacefully with her father.
But she knew her thoughts were naive because…
Word by word, Lewis spelled out the danger she had been ignoring, “What if Erin fails? What if she demands you work for her before agreeing to save your mother? Moreover, even if you do rescue her, could you and she live in peace forever? Your mother has endured in Oceanion for many years, suffering countless grievances. Do you plan to rescue her and then live in hiding like fugitives with your father and me?”
Keira tensed her jaw again.
But Lewis laughed softly, “I’d be willing to abandon all glory and wealth to be with you, even if we ended up living simply, with my farming and you weaving. That would be enough for me. But what

bout our children? It might be eas ler if we have a son, but if we have a daughter, she’ll inevitably get caught up in the South Family’s inheritance issues. You’ve heard how few girls there are in the South family now. Even if you choose to walk away, do you think the South family will just let you go? Do you think they’ll give up on Amy?”
Keira clenched her fists and took a deep breath.
She understood all the reasons Lewis laid out; she had always known them but had never wanted to face them.
Ever since learning about the South family’s heir training program, she had found it ridiculous and wanted to break free from the South family’s constraints.
She just wanted to save her mother and live freely.
Now, Lewis had laid out the harsh truth.
Without fighting for the position of heir, she would never be free.
Even if she bowed down to Erin, would Erin change the South family’s rules to let her and her mother live happily? Or what
would she have to sacrifice for Erin to make such a concession?
The rules of a powerful family weren’t easily changed.
Thus, she had never had any choice.
