Uncle Olsen looked at Keira. “What’s your view on this
matter?”
Keira knew that Uncle Olsen was allowing her to
provide an explanation and statent to the public, and she slowly said, “I was blind in my youth, but
now I’ve learned my lesson.”
She scoffed and looked toward everyone, speaking indifferently. “A hero is not judged by the past, but
by the future. Besides, there is a saying in Crera, ‘A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold.’ If
a prodigal can return, why can’t a woman do the sa?”
Her words left everyone in a montary stun.
Upon regaining their senses and giving it so thought, it seed to be indeed the case.
It appeared that Crera was always particularly tolerant toward boys as if they only needed to learn from
their mistakes to be praised.
Joseph’s daughter imdiately retorted angrily. “Won lose too much in marriage! Do you think just
by saying a few words like this, everyone will respect you? Ask around. Who here would want to marry
you?”
Upon hearing this, Uncle Olsen imdiately scanned the people present at the scene.
Most of those who had co today were relatives of the Olsen family.
The Olsen family’s banquet wasn’t held on a large scale without inviting the five major families to co
over, mainly because it was organized in haste. This was also one of the reasons Jas thought the
event was too small; he had believed it was rely an introduction to their “aunt”.
But the Olsen family had many relatives by marriage, and there were quite a few eligible bachelors
prese
At that mont, upon hearing her words, so n imdiately lowered their heads, not wanting to
marry a woman who was having a second marriage with a
child. It was too troubleso!
When those from families in less fortunate
circumstances heard the question, their eyes glead slightly.
She was the Olsen family’s legitimate daughter. Judging by the affection Uncle Olsen showed, plus the
gifts the Olsen brothers had just given to her, they could be free from worry if they married her!
Thus, so people could hardly restrain themselves and were about to stand up.
But just then, they suddenly felt a gaze, no, seven gazes falling upon them. A man turned his head to
look and saw the seven Olsen brothers looking at him with stern expressions.
Although they didn’t speak, their intent was very clear.
The Olsen’s legitimate daughter couldn’t marry soone of his status!
The man was so scared that he imdiately froze.
Those of lower status didn’t dare to move, and those of
higher status didn’t want to move. So after Joseph’s daughter finished speaking, indeed, not a single
person ca forward.
Seeing this situation, Jas grew anxious and imdiately signaled to his friends nearby with his
eyes.
Although he didn’t understand why his uncle allowed
this woman to belittle his cousin, his cousin couldn’t be looked down upon by others!
But his friends were facing away from him and didn’t catch his signals.
Jas was speechless
He was so anxious!
He imdiately looked at Charles, asking with his eyes, “What about your friends? Hurry up and stand
up for
our sister!”
Charles waved his phone and returned a glance. “Sent them a WhatsApp ssage, but not a single
one is responding! Damn them!”
Jas didn’t know what to say.
At this point, he wished he knew the art of disguise, so he could change his appearance and stand up
for her!
The rest of the brothers were equally anxious, but Ellis sat there calmly, which irritated Jas greatly!
What was going on with Ellis? How could he be so indifferent toward his dear cousin?
Unable to restrain himself, he complained, “Ellis, why aren’t you worried?”
Ellis picked up the wine in front of him and downed it in one gulp. “What’s there to worry about? The
Hortons aren’t here yet.”
When the dowry arrived, everyone would soon know which daughter of the Olsen family was to wed
into the Horton family!
Uncle Olsen allowed Joseph’s daughter to berate Keera, and of course, it wasn’t without aim.
Keera’s past indeed was quite scandalous to speak of. She was seen as a love-struck fool and a
mother who was almost swindled out of her inheritance. When people in this circle heard of it, they
wouldn’t pity her but would only think her foolish.
Society nowadays was an impatient one.
Even if she were to be given the status of the legitimate Olsen daughter, she would never gain
everyone’s respect.
Therefore, if she wished to establish a foothold in the
circle, she would have to speak out and then fiercely
alan their focool
Joseph’s daughter, seeing that no one had yet stood up, imdiately said, “See? Soone of high
birth. would never fancy soone like her, a used woman! Keera, if you want to marry, there is indeed
soone perfect for you!”
With these words, she turned to look at Victoria.
Victoria imdiately cast down her gaze, avoiding her
eyes.
But she took out her phone and sent a ssage. Soon, footsteps were heard at the entrance.
Then, a man and an old woman appeared there.
It was none other than Keera’s ex-husband Howard
and forr mother-in-law!
Victoria’s eyes twinkled slightly when she saw these
two.
It was a surprise she had arranged for Keera to humiliate her at the family banquet!
When Howard and his mother were brought in, their faces were full of eager smiles, especially
Howard’s mother, who had never seen such an extravagant banquet and was utterly transfixed.
They had been living rather poorly for so ti.
Before Howard’s divorce, Cindy would call her “mom” affectionately, making her very happy. But after
the divorce, when Howard didn’t find another job, Cindy’s attitude changed completely.
She would quarrel with Howard’s mother all the ti, making the household miserable!
Howard did nothing but drink and smoke all day long.
A few days ago, Cindy couldn’t take it anymore and threatened to kick them both out of the house.
Howard’s mother was furious and longed for the days
when she lived with Keera.
Back then, Keera worked tirelessly doing household chores and taking care of the children without ever
troubling her, and every al was delicious…
Compared to those days, what condition was she living
in now?
Howard’s mother sighed deeply, unable to help salivating over the banquet food, barely restraining
herself from rushing over to snatch sothing to eat.
But there was no choice.
Since Cindy withheld money, the food they cooked at
ho every day tasted terrible, and sotis they couldn’t even get enough to eat…
During this period, she even went to the South
residence but was stopped by the security guard and wasn’t allowed in….
Howard’s mother swallowed and, suppressing the urge to dash over and grab so food, followed
Howard toward the main table.
Then she saw Keira, and her eyes imdiately lit up. She rushed forward, intent on grabbing Keira’s
arm. “My dear daughter-in-law, I’ve finally found you! That Cindy is no good. I was wrong. I apologize!
Please take back ho!”
Keira looked at her coldly, scoffing, and instinctively glanced toward Victoria.
Victoria’s eyes flashed with guilt imdiately.
All these actions were noticed by Uncle Olsen, who frowned and sighed inwardly.
That adopted daughter… perhaps they shouldn’t keep her in the family anymore…
