507 Chapter 506
Old Mrs. Horton said, “It was just our private speculation. You see, many people looked through numerous ancient Creran archives, hoping to find such a family with the surname South. Unfortunately, they came up empty–handed. It wasn’t until a time later that someone declared that, actually, Lady South
was…
“A member of the royal family from Country Y. She
seemed to have committed some error there and was
banished to Crera.”
Keira was startled.
Banished…
This word made it sound like an ancient official who
had made a mistake and was exiled to a remote
outpost.
Old Mrs. Horton said, “Back then, Country Y was developing splendidly and very advanced. In my day, I must say, Crera was rather backward and had a poor standard of living. For them, coming to live in Crera was like a form of exile. However, I guess they never

anticipated that today’s Crera would be so prosperous, with such excellent living conditions…”
Keira nodded.
She asked, “Is there more?”
Old Mrs. Horton shook her head. “That’s all I really know. After all, I’m not from Crera; I eventually returned to Oceanion to marry. Other than hearing that Lady South died in a huge fire, I’m not clear on the details…
Keira nodded again.
She felt her visit today hadn’t been in vain.
At the very least, she clarified one thing: the South family’s influence was enormous, and it was indeed built on a strong financial foundation; otherwise, they couldn’t have sustained a person like Lady South.
But banished… What exactly was that all about? She still needed to investigate further.
Moreover, if Lady South had been banished, why had she brought such a large service entourage with her?
The luxurious life she led indicated clearly that the South family had not neglected her.
507 Chapter 506
And what about that big fire involving Lady South? Plus, Jodie South also seemed to have hidden her identity, having taken refuge in Oceanion for over
twenty years…
This South family seemed a bit too formidable!
Country Y…
A new clue!
Just then, Keira realized something. She quickly looked toward Lewis, and before she could speak, Lewis casually said, “Scott Martin is from Country Y”
Keira immediately recalled the third task assigned to her by the South family: to make Scott Martin fall in love with her and marry him.
Her expression turned serious, and she said, “Send someone to check on Scott Martin’s family.”
Lewis nodded.“Sure, I’ll have someone look into it.”
After saying goodbye to old Mrs. Horton, Keira walked out while Lewis took a call, so Keira waited for him in the parking lot

It was during this brief interlude that Jake suddenly appeared before Keira.
Keira looked at him, slightly taken aback.
Fixing his gaze on her, Jake suddenly said, “Do you know that to my uncle, you are just a substitute?!”
Keira was perplexed.
She almost rolled her eyes!
What was with Jake?
O
Without waiting for her to say a word, Jake sneered. “I knew you wouldn’t believe it, but it’s the truth! Do you know what his former wife looked like? She’s almost
identical to you!”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
What was wrong with this man?
Jake continued. “Doesn’t it bother you that he is using
you…”
Keira shrugged. “Bothered by what?”
Jake was taken aback.
Keira sighed. “For someone like me, divorced with a
507 Chapter 506
all. Mr. Horton may be on his second marriage, but at least he has no children. By marrying him, I’m the one who benefits. And to tell you the truth, I really like Mr. Horton; he’s not just handsome and well–built, but he’s also rich and capable of helping me grow my business… Even if he has someone else on his mind
and sees me as a substitute, I don’t mind!”
Jake was shocked.
He looked at “Keera“. He was taken aback and
seemingly puzzled.
Just then, they heard a low chuckle.
Keira and Jake turned their heads in unison, only to see Lewis standing not far away, watching them.
Jake’s face instantly froze, and without saying a word,
he turned and left.
Keira, however, raised an eyebrow.
Lewis got in the car and drove Keira home.
Throughout the journey, the smile on Lewis’s lips never faded.
The two quickly returned to the South residence.

As soon as they reached the doorway, they saw a familiar figure standing there – it was Ellis.
Keira didn’t know what to say.

She exchanged a glance with Lewis, and both heaved a sigh at the same time.
If Mary didn’t forgive him, would he never leave?
The next day, when Keira woke up, she saw a message from Austin saying that Nara had woken up but refused to acknowledge them, and she had already gone home with Matias. He asked if Keira could come and visit Nara if she had the time.
Upon reading the message, Keira sighed softly.
She had known this would be the outcome.
Nara might be mute and not fond of talking, but she was stubborn and a stickler for principles.
Having been coerced into jumping off a building by Austin, how could she possibly forgive such a brother?
Since Keira had become friends with Nara, she couldn’t just ignore her opinions; thus, Keira got up
507 Chapter 506
and went to visit Nara.
As she drove up to the alley where Nara lived, she saw Austin’s car parked not too far away.
He was smoking gloomily inside his car.
