542 Chapter 541
Keira didn't catch what she said, so she asked the maid.
The young maid imdiately averted her gaze. "No, it's nothing..."
She sneaked another look at Peter.
Years ago, as she passed a highway, she saw soone crash their car. She rushed over and found the car leaking oil. Without thinking too much, she imdiately rescued the person from the vehicle.
Looking back, it was quite dangerous. They had just walked away when the car exploded. They could have been fatal if things went wrong.
Afterward, she called 911 but was in a hurry to deliver a parcel, so she left first. When she returned after making the delivery, she heard that the person had been taken to the hospital.
She didn't get involved any further.
However, even if that person was that gentleman, it didn't an anything...
As the young maid pondered this, she heard soone calling her from the kitchen. "South, where on earth are you?"
The maid imdiately said, "I'm coming..."
Then she entered the kitchen.
Keira imdiately frowned.
South?
Was the maid's surna South?
Was it a coincidence, or...
Keira pursed her lips and approached the nearby butler. "That maid South, what's her background?"
The butler said, "Her? She's a trained maid. I heard she dropped out after high school and has been delivering parcels ever since. She later ca to our house and was selected after an interview. She underwent three months of training before she assud her position. Miss Olsen, did she do sothing inappropriate? Do you need her to be dismissed?"
Keira imdiately said, "No, I was just asking. What's her full na? Is her surna South?"
The butler answered, "No, that surna is quite rare. She's Jenkins, South Jenkins."
So, South was her given na.
Keira nodded and returned to the dining area.
Erin was insisting on her conclusion. "My instinct is never wrong! Susan is targeting my sister-in-law!"
As soon as she said this, she was so startled that she imdiately covered her mouth.
The others also turned their gazes toward her.
Jas asked in confusion, "What sister-in-law?"
Erin's dark gaze fell on Scott, and then she awkwardly chuckled, "No, it's nothing..."
Charles imdiately pressed. "There must be sothing, spit it out!"
Erin looked up at the sky and coughed lightly. "My brother likes Keera, so he wants her to beco my sister-in-law."
Scott imdiately retorted, "Don't be ridiculous!"
No sooner had he spoken than Lewis's expression darkened.
Scott quickly said, "Miss Olsen is already engaged."
Erin looked at him. "Is she married?"
"Not yet."
"Then you've got a chance!"
The others didn't know what to say.
Everyone was stunned and then eagerly turned their attention toward Lewis.
Lewis's face grew dark as he turned to Scott.
Scott coughed lightly. "Well, please don't take it the wrong way. It's just that my grandfather is forcing to get married, and I didn't agree, so I made up an excuse..."
Erin imdiately scoffed.
Scott gave her a wary look, and Erin fell silent.
Lewis, however, continued to press. "What excuse?"
Scott glanced at Keira awkwardly. "I just said I was already in love with soone, and Grandpa pressed hard, insisting I told him who it was. There aren't many young won I know in Crera, so in a panic, I said Miss Olsen..."
Erin said sarcastically, "Right, he was panicked. It's nothing serious."
Scott imdiately glared at her again.
Erin stuck out her tongue, then turned her head away.
That cute gesture caught Charles's attention several tis, making him blush.
How could there be such an adorable girl in the world?
More importantly, Erin got along well with Keera, unlike Susan, who was always causing trouble.
So, if he could win Erin's heart...
As Charles thought about it, he blushed even more.
Erin said, "Co on, even my brother isn't blushing. What are you blushing for?"
Charles quickly covered his face. "Am I? Well, maybe it's because I ate sothing spicy just now!"
Erin imdiately expressed her confusion. "Spicy? I love spicy food but haven't seen any just now..."
Charles hastily changed the subject. "What's your favorite food?"
"I like your Creran spicy chicken."
"I know a place that makes great spicy chicken. Do you want to try it?"
Erin's eyes imdiately lit up. "Sure, when can you take out?"
Charles coughed and glanced at the kitchen. "They'll take at least an hour to make dinner, so why don't I take you there now?"
Erin nodded enthusiastically. "Great!"
After that, the two didn't care about the others and headed straight out. At the door, Erin suddenly rembered sothing and turned back to Scott. "Brother, you'd better co up with a good plan! Otherwise, Grandpa will force you to marry your cousin! Maybe Miss Olsen is willing to help you? In all of Crera, only Miss Olsen's status is a good match for you. She's probably the only candidate that'll shut Grandpa up, right?"
Scott was so infuriated that he imdiately said, "Just go already!"
Erin then left.
Keira watched her leave, deep in thought.
Could such a food-loving, lively girl be Fox?
As she pondered, Lewis suddenly asked, "Who's the cousin your sister ntioned?"
Scott imdiately responded, "Mr. Horton, please don't get it the wrong way. Although I like Miss Olsen, I also know how to appreciate true beauty. It's just that Grandpa was pressuring , so I had to ntion Miss Olsen's na..."
As he spoke, he gave Keira a longing and profound look that was filled with emotion, but he quickly averted his gaze.
Lewis looked down and said indifferently, "I'm not misunderstanding anything. The cousin Erin ntioned wouldn't happen to have the surna South, would she?"
"How do you know?"
Scott said with surprise, "Did you guess from Erin's middle na? Erin's mother is indeed from the South family. Our cousin is the daughter of my mother's brother, so she also has the surna South, and her na is Vera."
Keira was taken aback.
She looked at Scott in disbelief. "You an your cousin is nad Vera South?"
"Yes," said Scott.
Scott asked, "Is there a problem with that na?"
Keira smiled. "No, I just didn't expect..."
Her gaze shifted to Lewis.
Lewis also showed a hint of amusent. "It turns out that the most difficult search can end with effortless discovery."
Vera was to marry Scott, and her surna was South. She must be Fox!
Keira suddenly turned to Scott. "I wonder if there's a chance to et this cousin of yours?"
