Chapter 538
….
Keira looked closer at that name.
She then turned to Lewis with an awkward smile, unable to decide whether to cry or laugh.
Lewis coughed lightly. “That person is named Erin South, and actually, her name and timeframe do match up.”
Keira was almost rolling her eyes. “But her surname is Martin. She’s Scott Martin’s own sister!”
Indeed.
Among all the names of women close to Scott Martin on the list, only Erin South Martin’s name contained “South”.
However, it just so happened that Erin South Martin was the one who would never marry Scott Martin.
Keira rubbed her forehead and looked through the names on the list again—there were quite a few women, some of whom were Clance’s high-class ladies who were already engaged or married. The rest were still under investigation.
Lewis coughed again. “Actually, if you think about it, the ‘South’ in your names might be a trademark of the South family, so the other party would definitely not be so foolish as to reveal their identity.”
Keira nodded in agreement.
She used “South” as one of her pseudonyms because of her childhood admiration for her mother, Jodie South. If she had taken a regular name, it most likely wouldn’t have included “South.”
As for her grandmother, Lady South, her mother, Jodie South, and her sister, Keira… It seemed like Jodie had no father, so she used Lady South’s surname. Keira was stolen by the South family, so of course, she also carried the surname “South.”
Maybe Lewis’s guess was simply a coincidence?
As they pondered, the car entered the Olsen family’s property.
On their way back, her brothers had already informed Uncle Olsen, so the moment Keira arrived at the parking lot, she saw Uncle Olsen standing at the entrance, looking at her.
The man was fifty years old, and his hair was turning gray, but it couldn’t hide the handsomeness of his youth. He stood there steadily, gazing at Keira. Uncle Olsen was usually as cold as frost and taciturn, but he smiled slightly. “Keira, welcome home.”
He called her Keira…
Keira felt a sudden warmth in her eyes, and she lowered her head, “Thanks.”
Neither of them was talkative by nature. Having said that, Uncle Olsen stepped aside.
James hopped over. “Sister, welcome home!”
Charles also smiled. “Right, right, we’ve prepared a lavish dinner for tonight. Keira, what would you like to eat?”
After that, Lewis added, “She doesn’t like ginger. Don’t put ginger in the dishes.”
Keira paused momentarily, looking at him in surprise. “How do you know?”
Indeed, she didn’t like ginger.
She was a chef with a culinary certificate, so she understood that ginger was an essential seasoning, but she didn’t like the taste. Having grown up in the Olsen family, she had no room to be choosy—being able to fill her belly was already a luxury!
So, she had never told anyone.
Even at meal times, she never had any dietary restrictions.
Lewis just smiled. “Every time you eat, you would skip over the ginger slices, and if a dish had ginger in it, you would take a couple fewer bites.”
Keira’s gaze softened gradually.
She had never expected that her little unknown quirk would be noticed by Lewis, who usually observed her with such careful attention.
Uncle Olsen also glanced at Lewis and, with approval, patted the latter’s shoulder, seemingly in praise and appreciation of his recent comment.
Once Keira and Lewis entered the house, Uncle Olsen looked at Ellis and Mary, who were following behind.
Mary felt a bit embarrassed under his gaze.
Ellis said, “Uncle, the South residence burned down, and Mary is moving back in.”
“I see.”
Uncle Olsen didn’t ask further and just said, “It’s good to see you back.”
Mary felt very comfortable with the atmosphere at home.
Finally, the group made their way into the living room, where they cheerfully started chatting. The servants had already cleaned the rooms they would be staying in upstairs.
After chatting for a while, as everyone was getting ready to eat, the butler entered and reported, “Sir, Mr. Scott Martin has arrived with his sister.”
As soon as these words came out, Charles immediately said, “Then let them in quickly!”
The butler went out with a smile.
Keira exchanged a glance with Lewis, and the two of them simultaneously turned toward the doorway.
They had just been discussing Scott Martin, but who would have thought he’d arrive so soon?
And… with his sister?
While Keira was puzzled, she saw Scott Martin walking in with a girl.
Scott bore the look of a mixed-race person with profound and sculpted features, especially those piercing eyes that seemed especially deep when he looked at someone.
Keira’s gaze, however, fell upon the girl beside him—Erin South Martin.
The girl was naturally petite and exquisite, a head shorter than Scott, but very sweet-looking. Her face resembled Scott’s somewhat, and her eyes were framed by long, dense eyelashes.
Erin was discreetly observing the people in the room at the moment, her clever eyes appearing very innocent.
She was exceptionally beautiful.
She first curiously looked at Keira, then cast a meaningful glance at Scott: Is this the girl you fancy?
Scott immediately coughed.
Erin raised an eyebrow, then her gaze swept over Lewis, assessing him for a moment before looking back at Scott.
Erin raised her eyebrows again: This guy looks alright; you didn’t lose unjustly!
Scott gave her a stern look, then began to introduce everyone. “This is my sister, Erin South Martin. She just came from abroad to stay with me.” Then he pointed to the brothers of the Olsen family and introduced them one by one, and everyone replied politely.
But when it was Charles’s turn, Charles stared at Erin, his eyes almost glued to her.
Erin gave him an annoyed glare, and only then did Charles realize his gaze was too overt and immediately withdrew his eyes.
Only then did Erin appear satisfied.
Charles said, “It’s great that you and your brother have come; we’re just about to eat. Join us!”
Because there were two additional young guests, the Olsen family’s elders went elsewhere, leaving the dining room to the younger ones.
During mealtime, Peter also returned with Susan.
Keira then observed the relationship between Susan and Erin South Martin…
If Erin were Susan’s boss, then there would definitely be some interactions between the two!
Although Erin was Scott’s sister, Keira was still not able to dismiss her suspicions…
As she was pondering, she saw Susan’s gaze sweep over everyone and then land on Erin, scrutinizing her.
Erin only looked at Susan for a moment before heading toward the restroom.
Keira immediately followed, and upon entering the restroom, she suddenly turned to Erin. “Hello, Fox.”
