Upon seeing Lewis, Keira had a spark of joy in her eyes.

She immediately walked over with Amy in her arms and asked quietly, "Is the photo restored?"

Lewis didn't answer her question but looked out into the hall instead.

Vera was frowning. When she saw Lewis striding over, she grabbed Scott's hand, wanting to slip the ring onto his finger.

But Scott immediately withdrew his hand. He stared at Vera and said, "Let's hear what he has to say first. There may be some unexpected developments!"

Vera retorted angrily, "What kind of unexpected developments could there be?"

Scott retorted, "Exactly. What unexpected developments could there be? So, what's wrong with delaying the engagement a bit?"

Vera was taken aback.

She immediately looked at old Mr. Martin, "Mr. Martin, do you think the same? Are you just letting the Olsen family come and go as they please?"

Upon hearing this, old Mr. Martin frowned. He looked at Keira and slowly said, "Miss Olsen, if you were to marry my grandson, I would still have a chance to change my mind. If not, I'd kindly ask you all to leave and stop causing trouble here!"

Keira was silent for a moment.

But Lewis said indifferently, "The Olsen family can leave, but are you sure you want the Horton family to leave as well?"

Old Mr. Martin was slightly stunned.

The major households of Clance were growing increasingly powerful, and some, such as the Horton family, had begun to expand their influence overseas.

...Better not to offend them if possible.

Old Mr. Martin had to sever ties with the Olsen family out of necessity and was forced to choose under the pressure of two powerful factions.

But the Horton family... They were the fifth greatest household of Clance, and to offend them would be a loss beyond recovery!

Old Mr. Martin then turned to look at Vera. "Miss South, the Horton family must also be a force you want to secure, right? Are you sure you want to drive Mr. Horton away as well?"

Vera immediately responded with a cold glare. "Mr. Martin, I'm sure of it! Get rid of them now!"

Old Mr. Martin clenched his jaw tightly. "You are, but I'm not. I'd still like to hear what Mr. Horton wants to say."

Vera just bellowed, "You...! Stubborn old man!"

But old Mr. Martin merely shook his head slightly and sighed.

Scott then looked toward Lewis, his eyes shining. "Are you here to save me?"

That look was simply unbearable to witness!

Lewis's lips twitched, and he approached old Mr. Martin. "If I'm not mistaken, you ally with the South family in hopes of having a child with their bloodline, correct?"

There was no point in hiding this fact.

At first, Keira and Scott even considered a fake engagement until they learned that old Mr. Martin insisted on having a child to truly bind the two families together. Only then did Keira decide to give up.

Hearing Lewis's words, old Mr. Martin nodded, "Indeed, that's the case. Whether they get married or not doesn't matter; it's mainly about the child. Has Mr. Horton come to an understanding? Are you willing to let Miss Olsen have a child with Scott?"

Lewis was perplexed.

it is, I actually don't need to do anything with Miss Olsen. We could opt for artificial insemination, just with my sperm... I promise I won't disturb your lives afterward, Mr. Horton.
