612 Chapter 611

Keira paused slightly upon hearing these words.

Lewis said, “You’ve already had an answer in mind, haven’t you? It’s just that you’re not sure yet. You went to see Vera today to force out that answer, right?”

Keira couldn’t help but sigh when she heard this. “How can you be so smart? I haven’t said anything yet, and you’ve guessed it all!”

Lewis said, “Actually, it’s not hard to guess. That person must have a significant connection with the Martin family. There are only a few people who could know old Mr. Martin’s password.”

Keira nodded, and she lowered her gaze with a hint of wistfulness.

She and Lewis went downstairs, and just as they reached the dining table, they saw Charles eating breakfast. Catching sight of her, Charles immediately waved and said, “Keera, Uncle Olsen is fine now, and I have to go to school. Don’t worry about him. I just went to see Uncle Olsen, and the doctor said he’s sleeping soundly!”

Keira nodded.

She exchanged glances with Lewis, and they both sat down opposite Charles.

A servant promptly served breakfast to the two of them. Keira cut a piece of beef and said candidly, “Dad is okay now, thanks to Vera.”

Upon hearing that, Charles was taken aback. “What do you mean?”

Keira explained, “We put some pressure on her yesterday, and she told us the truth. It was as if she provided us with the information willingly.”

Lewis immediately interjected, “She was speaking out of ignorance, and being locked up in that place, she must have been somewhat panicked at first… But in the end, we do have to thank her. Be nice to her next time you see her.”

Keira nodded, “Yeah, I know.”

Charles said, “Be nice? She’s a bad person. Keera, don’t listen to Mr. Horton. You have to be tough when it’s necessary! I think Vera is definitely the type who’s afraid to die. You should interrogate her thoroughly and make her spill all her secrets!”

Having said that, Charles stood up and wiped the corner of his mouth. “I’m leaving now. I have class today, and Erin is waiting for me…”

Keira raised her eyebrows at this. “Waiting for you where?”

Charles immediately had a shy smile. “Just at the door. She insists on taking me to school…”

He scratched his head. “She’s been clingy lately, saying she wants to have a daughter with me… but you can’t just have a kid like that!”

Keira immediately looked at him. “Have you reached that stage already?”

Charles’s face instantly turned red. “Don’t be ridiculous! We’re just in love! I’m leaving now!”

The innocent big boy ran out the door, leaving Keira with a speechless smile.

After breakfast, she immediately drove to the Special Division.

Holly was already at work. Seeing both of them, she led the way to the interrogation room. Along the way, Holly said, “Another colleague and I interrogated Vera overnight. She’s tight-lipped, unwilling to say anything.”

Holly expressed her frustrations with a sigh, “The main issue is that we know too little about the South family’s affairs, so we can’t extract any important information from her. However, we didn’t let her sleep; we kept her up without rest, which should dull her mind and weaken her psychological defences, aiding in your interrogation.”

Keira immediately nodded her thanks. “Thanks for your hard work.”

“It’s nothing. We used to have interrogations that lasted three days and three nights without sleep just to play endurance games with the suspects,” Holly yawned. After escorting Keira to the interrogation room, she sat down on a bench in the corridor outside. “I’ll take a nap here. You go in. Call me when you’re done.”

“Okay.”

Keira pushed the door and entered the interrogation room.

Inside, Vera was drowsy but it was impossible to fall asleep under the intense glare of two strong lights.

It had only been a night, but he looked utterly exhausted. Her face was slick with grease, and dark circles had formed under her eyes. Upon hearing the noise, she turned her head woodenly and saw Keira. Then she numbly returned her gaze to the front.

Keira walked over to her side and turned off the two lamps.

The sudden comfort made Vera’s eyes tear up, and she felt incredibly relaxed.

But then, she heard Keira speak. “My dad is fine now, thanks to your antidote.”

Vera immediately showed an outraged expression and looked at her. “Rabbit, we all underestimated you! We thought you had given up the heiress position and wanted to live peacefully as a commoner, but no, you’ve been hiding your talents all these years!”

Keira looked at her. “If I say I truly have no interest in that position, and I only wanted to save my mom, would you believe me?”

“You think I’m an idiot?”

Vera stared at her resentfully. “Your grandma and old Mr. Martin had your mom, and your mom had you with Uncle Olsen… All these things combined, isn’t that enough to show your ambitions? I lost to you because I don’t have such a powerful mother! I was alone while you had three generations of effort!”

Keira’s gaze dropped.

She knew that what Vera was saying was true…

Without her grandmother’s help, it would indeed be impossible to solve the Martin family issue perfectly.

Keira then looked at her, “So, Vera, do you want to pledge loyalty to me?”

Vera was startled, “What did you say?”

Keira looked at her seriously. “Actually, if you think about it, you haven’t done anything heinous. You just poisoned my father, but ultimately, it was also because of you that he was saved. So, I’m willing to give you an opportunity, a chance to pledge loyalty to me.”

Vera widened her eyes, “What nonsense are you spouting? You? What gives you the right?

Keira calmly looked at her. “Because my grandmother started paving the way for me and because of three generations of effort, you of one generation can’t compare to me. Isn’t that what you just said?”

Vera was taken aback, then scoffed coldly, “You think Fox is just one generation’s effort? Dream on if you think I’ll pledge loyalty to you!”

Keira’s eyes flickered, and she smiled. “But you don’t have any other options now, do you?”

Vera paused, “What do you mean?”

“The fact that you saved my father has already spread, and moreover, I said you saved him willingly. Tell me, what do you think Fox’s reaction would be if she heard this? Admitting the truth of that poison would be your best submission to me, right?”

Vera’s face underwent a drastic change, “Keira, you shameless! When did I tell you willingly?!”

“That’s not important. What’s important is, will Fox believe you?”

Keira looked at her, composed, “If Fox wins, do you think she will ever forgive you?”

Vera’s breathing became noticeably heavier, “You…”

“She won’t. Fox is a cunning creature. One betrayed will never give that person another chance, but I can give you one.”

Vera froze, her resolve clearly shaken, “I… can’t betray Fox.”

Keira leaned in closer. “I don’t need you to betray her. I just need you to tell me some basics, like where exactly the South family is located and what their secrets are. What do they rely on to foresee the future? And what do they use to control so many global families?”
