Chapter 555

Matthew never expected that all his clumsy lies would be seen through. He tensed his jaw and finally looked at Keira. “I can’t tell you.”

Keira was startled.

Matthew said, “There are some things that I can’t reveal until you have completed the task. Only then will your mother truly be safe.”

Keira frowned. “What about that video just now?”

“It was sent to me by my contact.”

Matthew sighed. “Keira, your sister thought she could avoid the South family by hiding her strength and living a quiet life, but she was too naive. The moment you and Lady South were discovered by the South family, your sister was exposed. Surely, you must have noticed that. Your sister isn’t really foolish; she’s very smart. Do you think the South family would allow such an intelligent person to evade the tasks they impose?”

Keira frowned. “What do you mean?”

Matthew stepped forward, coming face to face with her. “Let me tell you, the South family has set their sights on you. From the moment you completed the second task, you had no way out. Either complete the tasks and go to the South family to see your mother, or fail, and they will erase her existence. That video wasn’t sent by me; it was sent by the South family! If you don’t make an effort and continue to slack off, they’ll eliminate Lady South.”

Keira clenched her fists tightly and then chuckled. “Well, let me tell you something. If anything happens to my mom, I assure you, I’ll stop completing tasks and slack off completely.”

Matthew had never expected her to threaten him back and was momentarily taken aback. “You… ”

Keira snorted. “If the South family values me, or rather my sister, so highly, then they should agree to my terms. Relay my condition to your contact!”

Matthew rubbed his temples, apparently at a loss. “I don’t know if they’ll agree.”

Keira lowered her gaze. “If they care about me, they will agree. If they don’t, they wouldn’t use my mom to blackmail and entice me!”

Matthew didn’t know what to say.

The logic was surprisingly sound.

He took a deep breath. “Alright, I’ll talk to them.”

Keira added. “Also, I need to know that my mom is indeed alive and well. I want them to send a video every day.”

Matthew hesitated, “They could record many videos at once and then deceive you about the dates.”

Keira said, “Then let them figure out a way to prove the videos aren’t recorded in advance.”
