Chapter 659: Chapter 658
Keira Olsen: “Why do you look so delighted about my misfortune?”
“? Delighted? Never!” Erin South Martin pressed down the upward corners of her lips: “We are like cousins after all, I’m just concerned about you!”
Keira Olsen: “…”
Erin followed her, heading towards the Horton Family’s living room: “Do you know why Serena Clark and Selena Horton ca to the Horton’s today? It must be because you helped Old Mr. Sims, tarnishing your reputation, so the Horton’s would definitely not want Lewis Horton to marry you now. The bride-to-be has now changed to Miss Clark, and for the Horton Family, this will undoubtedly leave everyone with a good impression… Snap!”
Erin munched on sunflower seeds without slowing her speech, chuckling: “There’s an old saying in Crera that trouble never cos alone. Just watch, when you’re down, you’ll garner enemies from the entire world.”
“That’s why, in life, one must learn to pick and choose. Snap…”
Erin crunched on another seed: “Do you regret helping Old Mr. Sims now?”
“No regrets.”
Keira Olsen looked at her: “For you, it’s all about weighing advantages, but for , there’s only one principle guiding my actions.”
“Which principle?”
Erin asked with big eyes, holding a trash bag.
Keira Olsen looked back at her determinedly: “Peace of mind.”
Erin was slightly taken aback, and even the pace of throwing seeds into her mouth slowed down.
After a while, she snorted with laughter, “That’s easy to say, but so hard to live by. How many people can live their entire lives with a peace of mind in everything they do? Don’t you ever feel guilty or sorrowful?”
Keira Olsen’s gaze dropped.
She did as a child, feeling like the illegitimate daughter of a mistress, feeling sorry for Jodie South.
But as she grew up, she realized she couldn’t control that past, slowly learning to forgive herself and afterward living by those four words.
Latterly, she felt she had never shorted anyone.
Until she t Keera… she owed her sister Keera her life.
Keira Olsen then turned her head back towards the front, changing the topic with disdain: “I never saw you eat this much before! Now every ti I see you, you’re eating.”
Erin imdiately tossed another seed into her mouth: “I didn’t know you well before and didn’t dare to break my persona. Now that we’re familiar, why keep up pretenses?”
She spoke sweetly:
“Crera’s cuisine is so delightful, I fear soday I might be locked back in the South Family and won’t be able to eat these anymore, so I’m eating my fill now. At least in the future, if I’m confined to the South Family, recalling the braised pork knuckle, chicken feet, crispy-skin duck, soy sauce duck, poached chicken, hot and sour noodles, spicy hot pot…”
Erin listed a long array of food, drooling while she spoke: “Never mind, I’ll stop or I’ll run out of saliva.”
Keira Olsen turned to look at her: “Do you think you’ll fail in the future? Which is why you’d be detained at the South Family?”
Erin imdiately rolled her eyes: “What nonsense are you talking? I am a Fox! With such a crafty nature, how could I possibly fail? It’s just… the Inheritor has to stay with the South Family as well!”
Keira Olsen was stunned.
So, in this competition among inheritors, regardless of winning or losing, the final destination is still the South Family?
Perhaps the Inheritor may still enjoy so freedom at the South Family, but the loser’s sole purpose would be to cultivate the next generation to win.
Keira Olsen tensed her jaw.
Erin grinned: “Actually, if you submit to , I can assure more lenient managent in the future, allowing you and your mom to live together at the South Family, no need to separate. Wouldn’t that be nice?”
Keira Olsen: “No need. I control my own life. Thank you.”
Erin shrugged: “Okay then, move it, let’s go and see what your love rival looks like! Snap!”
Erin, unable to hide her excitent for the drama, hurried towards the living room, craning her neck.
Keira Olsen: “…”
Keira followed her to the living room, and as they arrived, she heard Lewis Horton’s father roaring: “Haven’t you seen what’s happened to the Olsen stocks? Public favorability is crucial for a company! You must divorce that fiancée of yours! Otherwise, the Horton Family will suffer too!”
Then Lewis Horton’s elder brother spoke: “Lewis, Dad is thinking of your best interests. Your fiancée, she’s just a disaster. I heard that after returning to the Olsen Family, she foiled her brother’s marriage prospects twice! With soone like that, if you marry her, the Horton Family will never be at peace.”
Selena Horton’s voice also erged: “Uncle, Miss Clark is deeply devoted to you. Being with her can bring a great boost to our corporate image.”
Keira Olsen, on hearing this, darkened her gaze.
Erin turned back imdiately, looking at Keira Olsen with a mischievous smile: “Tsk tsk, your popularity at the Horton’s isn’t looking good! Snap.”
Keira Olsen gave her a cool glance.
Erin blinked, then suddenly spoke: “Keera, how about I tell you a secret, what do you say?”
“What secret?”
“You might have heard it from grandpa, right? The South Family has the superpower of fortune-telling. Wouldn’t you like to know how the South Family actually predicts the future?”
