Vera immediately shouted, "Are you crazy? How can you say such things? Lewis, you're stooping to any level just to stop me from marrying into the Martin family!"

Lewis looked at her. "Miss South, the more you act this way, the more you look guilty. You should have known about Keera's origins, right? You knew all along that the daughter of old Mr. Martin was her mother, didn't you?"

Vera roared, "No, I don't know who her mother is!"

Lewis asked, "Then why did you destroy the photo to stop us from seeing it?"

Vera said coldly, "I did it so I wouldn't give you another excuse to pester the Martin family!"

Lewis narrowed his eyes. "Old Mr. Martin has already made it clear that even if we know the whereabouts of his daughter, he wouldn't make a choice based on that. Your reason doesn't hold up. Right, Mr. Martin?"

The gaze of several people immediately fell on old Mr. Martin.

Vera looked panicked. "Mr. Martin, don't be fooled by him! He's so cunning! He's been leading the conversation from the beginning! That's not what I meant at all!"

Old Mr. Martin stared at Keira for a long time, walked up to her, and sized her up.

She indeed looked very familiar.

It wasn't about her facial features. Her very temperament reminded him so much of his first love from years ago.

They were both so proud and haughty, with an air that was like the Creran bamboo, seemingly invincible against anything!

No wonder he felt a sense of familiarity the first time he saw this young woman. So, that was why!

Old Mr. Martin suddenly grabbed Keira's hand. "Are you my granddaughter?"

Keira's eyes flickered.
