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
