604 Did She Ever Love Me
The Martin residence was filled with people.
Vera brought along twenty bodyguards, but at this very moment, those twenty bodyguards were surrounded by at least forty others. Meanwhile, James shouted, “The Freeman Sect is on its way over, but the Martin residence is a bit small, and I’m worried it won’t accommodate everyone, so I told them to stay outside. About a hundred more people still haven’t come in yet! Oh, right, the Olsen family also has several hundred people.”
Delivery guys in uniforms shouted, “Boss, we’ve got several hundred people here within a five–kilometer radius of the Martin residence. Just give the order, and they can arrive in five minutes!” Others called out, “Miss Olsen, I’m from the Allen family. Miss Rebecca sent me to follow your commands! We have about fifty people…”
“We’re from the Gill family, and our young master also told us to follow your commands…”
“And us, we’re from the Davis family…”
The scene was chaotic, leaving Vera completely stunned,
Keira also felt a headache coming from all the noise.
With a wave of her hand, those who had come in immediately shut their mouths. Instead, they blocked the doors and windows,
ensuring no way out for Vera and her people.
Protected by her bodyguards, Vera looked at Keira with wary

amazement and then turned to look at the people around her in shock. Keera, you brought all these people here?”
Hearing that, Keira couldn’t help but find it amusing. “I only told them to stand by. If you hadn’t made a move, they wouldn’t have
either.”
Having spent so much time in Clance for those two missions, she’d expended a lot of effort.
A mere Vera and the Martin family wouldn’t stop her
Keira ħadn’t wanted to do things this way, as it seemed like bullying the weak.
Moreover, causing such disturbances with such a crowd was
somewhat inappropriate.
Yet someone had poisoned Uncle Olsen, and that crossed her bottom line!
Not everyone in the South family was law–abiding. For example, Vera’s methods were a bit too much.
Vera glared at Keira, her chest rising and falling.
She clenched her fists tightly.
Keira stepped forward, looking at her. “Vera, you lost.”
Vera stiffened her jaw, staring hard back at Keira. “Do you think you’ll fare any better by knocking me out of contention? The victor of the Crera battle zone might not necessarily be you!”
Keira stared at her. “I’know. You’re talking about Fox.“”
Vera was taken aback.

Keira then scoffed. “You aren’t”
Fox is someone else, right?”
Vera immediately tried to sidetrack the conversation. “What are you talking about? If I’m not Fox, who else could it be? Fox’s mission is to contend with you for the support of the Martin family. Besides me, who else is competing against you?”
Keira stared at Vera. “Tell me who and where Fox is, or tell me
everything about the South family, and I might spare you.”
Vera snorted with derision. “I’ve said it; I am Fox.”
Keira narrowed her eyes and took two steps back.
With a wave of her hand, those around stepped forward and
detained Vera and her subordinates.
This was an outright crushing victory; Vera and her people put up little resistance and were all apprehended.
Keira looked to Holly, who immediately said, “We’ll send them off to the Special Division!”
“Yes.”
Upon hearing this, James immediately organized the Freeman Sect members to take the prisoners to the Special Division.
As an official member of the Special Division, he was particularly
suitable for orchestrating the operation.
Vera was escorted out by James himself, and throughout the process, she continued to glare viciously at Keira.
Keira kept her gaze on Vera. “You’ve consistently refused to disclose who Fox is. You’re trying to protect her from going against
me right? You’re thinking if she wins. she might give you a wav

out. But Vera, have you ever considered that if I win, perhaps I might give you a way out?”
Vera immediately scoffed coldly. “You think I’ll believe you?”
“Right now, it seems you don’t have a choice but to believe me.”
Vera once again fell silent.
Holly then suggested, “Take her to the Special Division and detain her for a couple of days. Let her think things over!”
Keira nodded.
James promptly took the prisoners away.
The Martin residence soon quieted down, and as Keira turned to speak to old Mr. Martin, he stepped forward and took out a packet of Seven Days from his pocket. “This is the antidote.”
Keira took the antidote.
Before she could say anything, old Mr. Martin suddenly asked, “Keera, have you ever met your grandmother?”
Keira paused, then shook her head,
Old Mr. Martin continued. “Then did your grandmother leave anything for your mother? Did your mother leave anything for you?”
Keira looked at him. “What are you trying to ask?”
Old Mr. Martin gave a wry smile. “I’m just wondering, has she ever missed me at all?”
Keira suddenly realized something

If she could think of it, certainly old Mr. Martin could too. He realized that her grandmother had plotted against him.
To Lady South, he might have been simply a tool for having a baby.
What Lady South wanted was a daughter with the Martin family’s DNA so that when the Martin family had to make a choice one day, they would have no other choice.
Keira pursed her lips and shook her head. “I don’t know.”
At his age, old Mr. Martin should have come to terms with many things, and she didn’t want to cheer him up falsely.
Old Mr. Martin’s shoulders slumped as he nodded. “I’ll inform the Martin family and disclose that you are my granddaughter. In the future, the Martin family will fully support you!”
On hearing this, Keira paused for a moment. She looked at old Mr. Martin and asked, “Grandfather, could you tell me what exactly the South family does, and why are they so secretive?”
Old Mr. Martin looked at her blankly. “That’s a long story.”
“Then make it short.”
