Chapter 558

Scott looked at the message and sighed.

He replied, “I’ve asked Grandpa. He won’t change his mind even if we find his daughter.”

He thought Keira would give up after he said this, but he didn’t expect Keira to reply immediately. “It doesn’t matter. If there’s a slim chance, I want to try.”

Seeing that, Scott replied, “Then I’ll ask Grandpa about it.”

After all, the photo was old Mr. Martin’s private property. Scott had to inquire about it, and all the photos had been taken away by old Mr. Martin.

After sending this message, he went upstairs.

He saw old Mr. Martin standing at the bay window, looking out.

They lived in the suburbs, with a chain of mountains stretching in the distance. At night, the moonlight sprinkled on the mountain tops, making it look serene and peaceful.

Scott walked up behind him, and old Mr. Martin said,

“Are you here to call off tomorrow’s engagement party again?”

Scott shook his head. “Not me. It’s Keira. She wants to try again.”

Old Mr. Martin sighed. “Scott, I advise you to keep your distance from Keira after getting engaged.”

Scott was puzzled. “Why?”

Old Mr. Martin lowered his gaze. “Because Vera and she are mortal enemies. If you marry Vera, the Martin family will side with Vera. Afterward, we’ll be in opposition to Keira. I don’t want you caught in the middle.”

Scott tensed his jaw. “Grandpa, what’s the matter with the South family? Aren’t Vera and Keira both from the South family? Why would they be enemies?”

Old Mr. Martin sighed. “For some things, the less you know, the better. Tell Keira not to waste her efforts. I’ll find my daughter on my own.”

Scott asked again, “So there’s really no room for negotiation?”

Old Mr. Martin shook his head. “Unless Keira is willing to marry you and bear your child. Blood ties are the most solid relationship, which will never break. Otherwise, why would I insist you enter a marital alliance?”
