Ellis seed as though he hadn’t heard the gossip and rumors, but Mary noticed that his hand holding
the chopsticks was slightly exerting force.
Mary understood him.
Ever since he was young, Ellis had been a
troublemaker, dubbed the Demon of Clance, and his
reputation had never been good.
He never cared about what others thought of him.
Now, if these words could agitate him, it was rely because he also felt embarrassed.
A bitter smile suddenly tugged at the corners of Mary’s lips.
She clenched her fists tightly and suddenly looked toward the third table, saying in a cold voice, “Is the
food that the Olsen family prepared to entertain you all not to your taste?”
The people at the third table who had been whispering to each other imdiately shut their mouths,
looking toward her in fear.
Mary kept her gaze fixed on them. “If it’s not to your liking, you may choose not to eat, or you may
leave. The door is right there. I won’t be seeing you out.”
Several won suddenly looked at each other, at a
loss.
Victoria imdiately said, “Mary, what’s wrong? Has sothing happened? These ladies are relatives
of our family, though distantly related… but after all, we share
the sa Olsen surna…”
Mary imdiately looked at her. “Are you deaf? They were just bad-mouthing over there; did you
not hear it? Is this how you protect the reputation of the Olsen family?”
Victoria was choked by the scolding, and her face changed color on the spot.
She clenched her fists in grievance, then looked toward Ellis and said softly, “Ellis, did I make Mary
angry? I really didn’t an to…”
Ellis slowly raised his head. Those eyes that were
usually commanding and condescending now revealed an unusual depth.
He said lowly “Co ore 17ou donf2”
.
Victoria was taken aback.
Ellis then turned coldly toward the third table. “Since
wife has issued an eviction order, we won’t keep
you.”
my
He said deliberately and thodically, but as his words fell, his voice suddenly raised, “Why are you
not leaving?!”
The won at the table jumped in fright, shivering all
over!
The girl who was on good terms with Victoria was actually a distant relative of the Olsen family. Their
family head at present was a trusted subordinate of Uncle Olsen, and so they held a certain status
within
the Olsen household.
That was why their family could sit at the third table a
an Olsen banquet.
Under Ellis’s gaze, the young woman sheepishly stood up and said, “Ellis, my cousin, I was… I was
just kidding… Dad, I really didn’t say anything!”
Her last words were said to the main table.
The person she spoke to was just joking with Uncle
Olsen a mont ago, and his na was Joseph Olsen. He was from a collateral branch of the Olsen
family, but by serving Uncle Olsen and helping the Olsen Group reach greater heights, he now held a
lofty position within the Olsen family.
Upon hearing this, he couldn’t help but look toward Uncle Olsen, pleading, “Well, Mr. Olsen, my
daughter has said so nonsense. I’ll teach her a lesson when
we return ho! She didn’t have any bad intentions; she just has a loose tongue…
Uncle Olsen heard this and said nothing.
Keira, sitting beside him, said indifferently, “Really? It seed that your daughter was mocking just
a mont ago. Yes, that’s right. She also called an illegitimate daughter, asking if I was from the
first
branch or the second.”
These words made Uncle Olsen’s face instantly turn
cold.
Joseph’s face also paled.
Having followed Uncle Olsen for so many years, he naturally understood where Uncle Olsen’s bottom
line lay!
)
That man was particularly defensive of his own!
Ellis was his junior and Joseph was close to Uncle Olsen, hence his own daughter would also be
considered Uncle Olsen’s junior.
Uncle Olsen wouldn’t normally intervene in such verbal disputes.
After all, they were all youngsters!
But if his daughter mocked Uncle Olsen’s biological daughter…
Joseph couldn’t help but wipe the sweat bead on his forehead, feeling as if there were thorns at his
back!
He swallowed nervously.
Uncle Olsen looked toward him. “I need you to give an explanation!”
Joseph imdiately stood up and, without hesitation, rushed over to his daughter, and then slapped
her across the face.
“Slap!”
The harsh slap landed on the girl’s face, not only making an impact on her but also letting everyone
present understand the importance Uncle Olsen placed on his daughter.
After delivering the slap, Joseph secretly glanced at Uncle Olsen and seeing his expressionless eyes
still focused on his al. It was clear that Uncle Olsen
wasn’t satisfied.
Joseph imdiately raised his hand again and gave his daughter another harsh slap
The girl’s cheeks swelled up on both sides.
She cried inconsolably and looked at her father. “Dad, why won’t you stand up for ? Why are you
helping
them?!”
“Slap!”
Joseph, without needing Uncle Olsen’s approval this ti, slapped her face again with force!
She was spoiled to the point of being uncontrollable!
He angrily pointed at her and scolded, “Why are you involved in those idle chit-chat? Why did you
gossip about Miss Olsen?! You’re so stupid!”
He moved forward and kicked her!
His daughter was kicked to the ground, in such pain that she couldn’t stand up.
The entire banquet hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone watched them in disbelief.
Nobody said anything, yet at the sa ti, everyone understood that this was Uncle Olsen
establishing authority for his daughter.
During the silence, the daughter lying on the ground was already consud with rage.
Since she dared to mock Keira, she certainly had an arrogant and domineering personality. Now
furious, she broke into a torrent of abuse. “Dad, what are you doing?! If you want to be Uncle Olsen’s
dog, do you expect to be that illegitimate daughter’s lapdog too? I’m telling you. She’s not worthy!!”
She cried while looking at Keira. “That woman is already married once and even has a child. Later,
when her husband abandoned her what’s the use of her
returning to the Olsen family? She’s nothing but a pretty object and an empty head! A second-hand
woman with a child like her will never find a respectable family in the future!
“What does it matter if she’s Uncle Olsen’s biological daughter?!”
Almost as soon as these words fell, the Olsen family butler suddenly rushed in. “Uncle Olsen, the
Horton family has sent soone to propose a betrothal!!”
