Chapter 401: Chapter 400 Chapter 401: Chapter 400 Jas Olsen scoffed, “Then how should I arrange it? If I really put her at the main table, surrounded by elders, could she even sit there?”
Mary Davis replied, “Keera is the main character of today’s recognition banquet. Why wouldn’t she be able to sit there? You—”
Before she could finish, Jas interrupted, “What about being the main character? If the status isn’t enough, they should just squat there.”
If it were Olsen Family’s legitimate daughter, she would definitely be able to sit at the main table!
The seven brothers wouldn’t mind!
But Keera was just an external lover of Uncle Olsen, was it necessary to go to such lengths?
Jas’s words made Mary Davis frown, “You—”
Victoria Olsen then stepped forward and spoke up, “Sister-in-law, these seats were arranged well in advance. Don’t mind it, please take a seat quickly! If we don’t sit, the rest can’t either.”
Mary Davis imdiately felt like she was cut by a “green tea” tactic, furrowing her brow.
Wanting to speak, Keira Olsen patted her on the shoulder, “Sit down. It doesn’t matter where I sit.”
Taking a deep breath, Mary Davis then sat down again.
After she sat down, the rest of the Olsen Family followed suit.
Though their attitude had been poor just now, their upbringing was deeply ingrained and could not be ignored.
Keira Olsen walked to the third table and casually took a seat.
Soon, a few girls ca over, sat down beside her, and then turned to Keira Olsen.
One whispered, “Did you hear Mary Davis say that she is today’s main character? She is the star of the recognition banquet, yet she’s seated here—what’s going on?”
One of the girls, who was close to Victoria Olsen and knew Keera’s identity well, scoffed upon hearing this, “Oh her, she’s apparently the Olsen Family’s illegitimate daughter!”
“What? She is the long-awaited Christina Olsen?”
“Not at all! Don’t talk nonsense. Could Christina be sitting at the third table? Don’t you see sothing from the seating arrangent?”
“No, what did you notice?”
That woman scoffed, “I noticed that she is not valued in the Olsen Family at all!”
“Right, Victoria Olsen is even sitting at the second table, surrounded by brothers, yet she’s at the third… This clearly shows that the Olsen Family doesn’t take this illegitimate daughter seriously!”
“They na girls ‘Victoria’ and ‘Christina’ as if they care so much! Turns out this Christina also isn’t valued!”
“Are you guys dumb? How could she be valued! Whether she’s from the first branch or the second, there are three or four brothers eyeing that position! They wouldn’t want soone else bearing sisters for their father!”
“Right, but… Illegitimate daughter, which branch are you from?”
Soone looked towards Keira Olsen and directly inquired.
Keira Olsen didn’t respond, instead picking up the chopsticks and starting to eat the cold dishes on the table.
With these people gossiping about her openly, and not even bothering to lower their voices, particularly wanting her to hear—did they think she was so devalued by the Olsen Family that they could bully her as they liked?
Why should she be polite and respectful to them?
Keira Olsen’s behavior made the group of ladies purse their lips again:
“Really rude! She doesn’t even acknowledge when spoken to!”
“I know her, Keera, she was divorced recently. Cos from a lower background, definitely hasn’t been to such banquets before, so I guess it’s understandable—”
“Divorced? Tell more, what happened!”
“…”
The group burst into gossip again.
At the sa ti, everyone looked at Victoria Olsen with admiration.
Previously, Victoria always boasted about how highly the Olsen Family regarded her, but actually, people outside didn’t really believe it, otherwise, Christina and Victoria would have been married off to families of the Five Great Families long ago.
As it turned out, Christina wanted to marry Lewis Horton but was delayed by her age, and it was not just because the Five Great Families had no suitable n her age, but because of her status as a foster daughter, that she was left in limbo and ultimately chose the Murphy family.
Now it was Victoria’s turn…
Now that the Olsen Family’s illegitimate daughter had been seated below her, people began to flatter Victoria and spoke smilingly:
“After all, Miss Victoria Olsen grew up with her seven brothers, sharing bonds from childhood. Even though she isn’t their blood sister, she’s at least better off than an illegitimate daughter!”
“Of course! Today’s seating was arranged by Jas Olsen, doesn’t that show sothing?”
“I’m genuinely curious—this illegitimate daughter, is she Jas Olsen’s real sister, or Charles Olsen’s real sister?”
Jas belonged to the first branch of the family.
Whereas Charles was from the second branch.
Soone beside chid in, “Could she not belong to the third branch?”
As soon as this statent was made, everyone fell silent.
Uncle Olsen was the only one in the third branch and was unmarried—if she was his daughter, she definitely wouldn’t be considered an illegitimate daughter!
Moreover, strictly speaking, since Uncle Olsen oversaw the Olsen Family and his line was the direct lineage, if she was his daughter, her status might even be higher than her seven brothers!
She couldn’t possibly be sitting here! She should be at the main table!
Even the person who spoke patted his own mouth, “I spoke incorrectly, how could it be!”
“Exactly, how could she belong to the third branch!”
Keira Olsen continued to eat her food, paying no heed to these idle people.
Uncle Olsen had called her back, if it was to be mocked, she might as well disassociate herself, so it certainly was not his intention.
While she pondered, the atmosphere beside her suddenly dimd.
Keira Olsen turned her head and saw Victoria Olsen standing beside her, suddenly leaning close to whisper, “Keera, even if you are a biological daughter of the Olsen Family, what of it? Do you see? Whether it’s the brothers or the guests, everyone recognizes only as the Miss Olsen! You…a divorced, wilted woman, are nothing!”
After saying this, she stood straight, lifting her chin proudly.
Keira Olsen: “…”
Almost right after Victoria had finished speaking, Ellis Olsen finally walked in.
Upon seeing them, he paused slightly.
Ellis walked directly to Keira Olsen, “Why are you sitting here?”
Keira Olsen looked at him coolly, “Oh, it was Jas Olsen’s arrangent.”
Ellis: ?
He frowned deeply and turned to Jas, reprimanding him, “What are you doing? Don’t you know who the main guest today is?”
Jas ca over, grabbed Ellis, and said in a low voice, “Big brother, of course, I know, it’s just that I didn’t want Uncle and her to be together!”
Ellis: ??
He felt confused, “What?”
“I an, I…”
Before Jas could finish speaking, Uncle Olsen and other elders finally walked in from outside and headed towards the main table, catching sight of Keira Olsen.
He imdiately smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll keep it brief, let introduce everyone before dinner, this is my daughter who had been estranged!!”
