Everyone beca quiet.
They began to search for the direction of the ringing phone, and then one by one, their gazes fell on
Keira…
Christina was also stunned.
They saw Keira slowly take out her phone.
Christina said, “Your phone call is quite tily. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you were N.”
She sneered, just as Keira leisurely pressed the answer button and turned on the speakerphone.
“Hello.”
The sa voice simultaneously ca from Christina’s phone. “Hello.”
Christina was bewildered. She stood frozen on the spot, looking at Keira in shock. She then looked
incredulously at her own phone. “You, you…”
Those two words also ca from Keira’s phone…
So, everyone began to look at her.
It was Victoria who first snapped back to reality. “You are N?!”
O
r
Keira hung up and nodded.
Mary snickered. “Of course, it’s Keera’s code na. She simply didn’t want to draw too much attention,
so she just stayed low-key. Who would have thought you’d accuse soone of suppressing their own
employees right from the start? Co on, Christina, will you please explain to how Keera
suppresses
herself?”
Christina was dumbfounded.
She stood there stiff as a board, trembling with rage.
Keira then said indifferently, “This way of poaching is considered malicious competition, right? The
Olsen Group must give an explanation today!”
Christina was shocked, looking toward Victoria for
help.
Victoria’s expression didn’t change, but she stepped forward and said, “Miss South, there seems to be
a misunderstanding here. My sister isn’t an employee of the Olsen Group, so there’s no issue with the
Olsen Group stealing employees. I guess she just saw that N’s na wasn’t on the project proposal, so
she ca to voice her concerns…”
21.
Her words completely absolved Christina of responsibility.
Christina imdiately nodded. “Exactly, that’s it! I just thought it was strange that N was being treated
this way, so I misunderstood.”
Victoria then sighed. “Sister, you start arguing without understanding the situation. You really must
change this temperant of yours, otherwise, you’re going to
suffer.”
Christina hastily nodded.
After that, the two turned to leave.
“Stop.”
Mary suddenly said.
The two imdiately looked toward her.
Mary sneered. “When you do sothing wrong, don you know to apologize?”
Christina imdiately furrowed her brow.
Victoria glanced at her and gave her a look.
Making a scene today would be embarrassing, and Christina wouldn’t be able to explain it to the Olsen.

Group.
Thinking about that, even though she was very unwilling, she still said in a low voice, “Miss South, I’m
sorry.”
Keira said, “What was that? I can’t hear you.”
Christina was shocked.
She puffed up with anger, resembling a blowfish, and shouted loudly, “I said, I’m sorry!”
Keira was satisfied. “Well, don’t do it again next ti.”
Christina was speechless.
She took another deep breath, suppressing the fury in her chest.
The people nearby saw this and imdiately flock Keira’s side, their attitudes completely changed. “M
South, did you develop this project yourself? I had no idea you were so capable!”
“Yeah, right, you’re so modest!”
Soone, noting Keira’s beauty, couldn’t help but tease and ask, “Miss South, you’re so young and
accomplished. Have you gotten married yet?”

That question made the inford people present
sowhat stunned.
Then everyone awkwardly chuckled.
The person who asked the question seed to realize sothing was amiss and imdiately looked
around hesitantly.
Seeing this, Christina felt like she was finally about to turn the tables. She imdiately laughed and
said, “You’re really asking that question at the wrong ti! Miss South hasn’t only gotten married, but
she also just got divorced! It’s because of this project-her husband thought he’d be saddled with a
penalty fee, so
he abandoned her…”
As she spoke, Christina laughed again. “Miss Sout speaking of which, you should pay more attention
your family. If you’re focused solely on scientific research, your husband will run off with soone el
won’t he?”
The single n nearby suddenly lit up.
Divorced? Didn’t that an they still have a chance?
Mary laughed scornfully in response. “Who cares
nhout that irraananaihla saumhan? Rottor that he rat
off! That way he won’t get a penny of our Keera’s money! And with Keera’s charm, she’s already got a
new boyfriend!”
As soon as those words ca out, Christina looked toward Lewis in the corner. “Miss South, your
boyfriend isn’t him, is he? A gigolo?”
Mary imdiately raised her chin, “Isn’t a gigolo a successful woman’s standard accessory? That just
shows our Keera is charming!”
Christina laughed again. “Right, charming… She’s only able to pretend to be a rich lady in front of
these college students.”
She displayed a look of contempt. “But I think onger alliances are better, right? Otherwise, if one s
dominant, the other side will have a hard ti. example, Victoria will be marrying into the Hort family…
Miss South, what’s your boyfriend’s background? Surely you didn’t really pick a gigolo no background,
did you?!”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
She stroked her chin, how should she respond to th
Just as she was nondering a voice ca from the
entrance, and everyone turned their heads to see Ellis and Ken walking in side by side, laughing and
talking
amicably.
Ken was asking, “I heard that your family had a
marriage arrangent with the Horton family. Are you planning a marriage alliance?”
Hearing this, Ellis paused.
Keera and Keira are twins, which ant Keira was also his uncle’s daughter.
So, actually…
Ellis frowned. “The two families have already been joined by a marriage…”
Even though Keira had passed away, she was still
cousin!
Thinking of Keira, Ellis couldn’t help but sigh inward
Compared to Keera’s docile deanor, he actually preferred Keira. He had been captivated by her
graceful charms from the start; if only she were still alive, wouldn’t that be wonderful?
As Ellis thought about this, he lifted his head to look toward the banquet hall.
(
There, Lewis, even sitting unassumingly, was the first
person he spotted in the crowd!
There was no helping it!
Years-long arch-rival!
Ellis was montarily stunned, convinced he must be seeing things!
Why would he be here?!
Upon hearing that the Olsen family and Horton family were already allied through marriage, everyone’s
first reaction was to look at Victoria.
Christina couldn’t help but ask, “Victoria, was the matter already decided? Why didn’t you tell ”
Victoria was also in a daze.
She hadn’t heard about it either!
She looked at Ellis but saw him excuse himself to
and then stride toward the gigolo that Keera had brought over…
