Chapter 314: Chapter 313 Chapter 314: Chapter 313 Mr. Olsen furrowed his brow, asking in bewildernt, “Your sister has suffered an insult; surely you can’t just ignore it, right?”
Mrs. Olsen hurriedly said, “Are you too busy to care, because you’ve been occupied? Ellis has been helping your uncle manage the company lately… Let’s not distract him…”
Mr. Olsen then nodded and spoke up, “That girl with the last na Davis— we should give the Davis Family face and not touch her. But that one nad Keera is too arrogant; she must pay a price for this!”
Christina Olsen lit up upon hearing this.
She was about to say sothing when Ellis Olsen cut in directly, “Keera is off-limits to you!”
His words suddenly silenced the room for a mont.
Mr. and Mrs. Olsen looked at him, puzzled.
Christina, also stunned, cautiously asked, “Big brother, is it because of Mary Davis? Are you really interested in her?”
Nowadays, whenever Ellis heard the na Mary Davis, he felt irritated.
He let out a cold laugh, adjusted his tie, and then said, “No.”
He hadn’t yet told Uncle Olsen that Keera was his uncle’s daughter. What if his uncle didn’t want to acknowledge his daughter?
So, he issued an order without providing a reason.
Even ntioning Mary Davis had made him too lazy to elaborate; he simply went upstairs.
As the appointed head of the Olsen family, Ellis’s status at ho naturally set him apart, and his aura left the three montarily speechless.
It wasn’t until he had disappeared into the corridor that Mr. and Mrs. Olsen snapped back to reality.
Mrs. Olsen imdiately spoke up, “Ellis seems to be in a strange mood today… Christina, what was it you said about Mary Davis? Could it be that our Ellis has really taken a shining to that girl?”
She seed a bit excited, “Ellis has been so clueless about matters of the heart all these years, and he’s nearly 28 now. If he really has taken a liking, we need to get ready and hurry them along to get married…”
Mr. Olsen also imdiately nodded in agreent, “That girl Mary Davis is quite attractive. Although her reputation outside isn’t too great, it’s a young person’s affair; we just need to respect it…”
As the two chuckled amidst their conversation, Christina’s expression gradually shifted.
She clenched her fists tightly, “Mom, Dad, about Keera…”
Mrs. Olsen cut her off imdiately, “Christina, since there’s this relationship between Mary Davis and your brother, and Keera is Mary Davis’s best friend, there might be so misunderstanding. Just do your brother a favor and let it go this ti.”
Christina tightened her jaw.
Mr. Olsen also looked at her, “That’s right, your big brother’s marriage is the priority. Let’s not make a big deal out of the squabble between you young ladies… Let small matters fade away!”
Mrs. Olsen stood up right away, “Ah, should I start preparing the family heirloom bracelet early? Where did I put it? Honey, co help look…”
Mr. Olsen followed behind her, waving his hand at Christina, “Christina, go ho after dinner, huh… Wife, what do you think—how much dowry should we give for that Davis girl?”
“…”
The two went upstairs, talking and looking excited.
Christina watched their retreat, her gaze revealing a trace of cold, venomous spite.
Just look…
In the end, as an adopted daughter and not their own, she is being urged by her own parents to bear an insult!
Moreover, they never call her Christina; every ti, it’s always Christina…
Christina, Christina… she was sick of it!
Would it be like this if she were their natural child?
Christina left the house, fuming with anger.
As soon as she got to the car, an assistant ca over and handed her a dossier, “Miss South, this is Keera’s information… She’s been living a secluded life all these years, without many friends.”
On hearing this, Christina’s gaze deepened.
Mary Davis couldn’t take any action, but with Keera, she had to regain her dignity!
Otherwise, if the word got out, how could she, the young lady of the house, maintain her status within the Olsen Family! Was she going to let just anyone bully her?
Christina Olsen closely examined Keera’s information and found no leverage against her, but suddenly, sothing caught her eye and a cold smile spread across her face.
…
Keira Olsen had just arrived at the South Family ho.
Lewis Horton parked the car and they both got out, reaching the front door only to see Lewis Horton’s assistant standing there with a suitcase at the doorway of the South Family villa.
Keira Olsen was slightly taken aback and turned to Lewis Horton, “You’re going on a trip?”
“Not exactly.”
Lewis Horton answered with a low, shallow voice.
Keira Olsen imdiately asked, “Then what is this…”
The assistant handed the suitcase over to Lewis Horton, “Mr. Horton, I’ve packed your daily necessities.”
Lewis Horton nodded, picked up the suitcase, and walked into the South Family villa.
Keira Olsen finally understood his intentions and followed him inside, with a mix of laughter and helplessness, “Wait, are you seriously planning to stay here from now on?”
“Yes.”
Lewis Horton answered without hesitation.
Keira Olsen shook her head in resignation and then saw the nanny approaching with an indescribable look, “Miss South…”
Keira Olsen raised an eyebrow, “What is it?”
Before the servant could speak, Lewis Horton’s assistant interjected, “Mr. Horton, as per your instructions, we’ve already replaced the master bedroom’s bed and bedding with new ones.”
Keira Olsen was taken aback!!
She looked quizzically at Lewis Horton, only to hear him explain matter-of-factly, “I don’t want to sleep in a bed that others have slept in.”
Keira Olsen imdiately understood.
That was the bed that Keera and Howard had shared, and she too hadn’t felt comfortable in it when she first arrived.
She didn’t feel at ease making any changes at the ti, so she just replaced the bed set with a brand new one, but this man went even further and replaced the bed altogether.
Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton went upstairs to check the new bed and then Horton opened his suitcase to start putting his things in the wardrobe.
As he put away clothes, he disdainfully tossed out any unworn items left by Howard that were still in the closet, and instructed his assistant, “Trash should stay in the trash can.”
Keira Olsen was speechless.
When she had divorced Howard, she had already thrown out all of his belongings; what remained were just so unused n’s daily items…
Could this man really not even tolerate those?
Keira Olsen shook her head; she found his way of staking his claim childish but didn’t stop him.
It was already a feat that Lewis Horton had managed to refrain from seeking her out and disrupting her plans for an entire month.
She let Lewis Horton do as he wished with the master bedroom—even if that ant tearing it down and rebuilding it, it was fine by her. She then got up and went to the study.
She picked up the diary she had found under the tree the day before and began to look through it.
Upon seeing the content of the first page, Keira Olsen’s pupils constricted involuntarily!
The book indeed held Keera’s secrets!
The date on the first page was from ten years ago; the entry read:
