“I think it’s a good idea.”
Jas answered seriously.
Victoria was dumbfounded.
She subconsciously looked toward her uncle, only to hear Uncle Olsen say, “I rember you own
properties under your na, right?”
Victoria was shocked!
She felt like she’d played herself!
She hurriedly started to speak, “No, Uncle, I…”
“I have one, you can stay at my place for the ti being!”
Jas interrupted her.
Victoria was speechless.
It was the first ti she felt the pain that the simple-minded man could bring!
She bit her lip, about to say sothing when Jas patted her shoulder. “Even though you are our
foster
sister, you don’t have to feel embarrassed. After all, we
grew up together. My house is your house, so feel free to stay as long as you like!”
Then he turned, eyes shining toward Uncle Olsen. “Uncle, shall I tell Keera tomorrow that Victoria has
left so she can move back in?”
Uncle Olsen said, “…you go ahead.”
He was too tired to deal with this foolish nephew and simply entered the house, glancing back at
Victoria before he entered. “Ask Carn to help you pack your
bags.”
He clearly wanted to drive her away overnight!
Victoria took a deep breath, almost losing her balance.
She clenched her teeth tightly, nodding after a while. “Okay, Uncle.”
Clenching her fists, she slowly entered her own room and started packing her belongings. Looking
around the room she had lived in for over twenty years, her eyes were filled with resentnt.
Why?
Why should she be driven out just because that
pampered girl from the Olsen family returned?
What did the Olsen family think of her?
Tears began to gather in Victoria’s eyes as she spitefully took in everything around her.
She, Victoria, would surely return one day!
And she would return gloriously!!
The car soon arrived at the South family’s ho.
Just as Keera entered, she saw Rebecca sitting in the living room, arguing with Samuel.
Samuel taunted her sarcastically, “Well, if it isn’t Miss Allen herself. Didn’t you refuse to cooperate with
my boss a while back? What brings you to our doorstep now? Aren’t you worried about sullying your
precious feet in my boss’s humble abode?”
Rebecca hung her head in the face of his sarcasm. “I… I didn’t an to before…”
“That still wasn’t polite to my boss. I heard you even wanted my boss to leave Mary’s wedding,
threatening her by suicide? Miss Allen, the doors to the Allen
family are truly hard to enter!”
Rebecca’s face flushed red, and she stood up abruptly, bowing her head to Samuel.
That action took Samuel by surprise.
He imdiately sprung up from the sofa. “What are you doing?”
Rebecca’s eyes were slightly red as she replied, “I failed to recognize Miss Keira before, I’m sorry!”
Samuel was dumbfounded.
He beca uncomfortable imdiately, even stuttering in his reply. “It’s okay, it doesn’t matter. I just
have a sharp tongue, don’t take it to heart…”
Rebecca nodded. “When you ca to my house before, I even scolded you. I owe you an apology, I’m
sorry.”
“You’re welco, really, it’s nothing. Besides, you scold pretty nicely, so feel free to do so more often.
It’s alright.”
Rebecca was confused.
Samuel scratched his head.
As a veteran in the field of romance, this was the first
ti he had encountered soone so fixated on the
truth, and he found himself at a loss.
Fortunately, at that mont, Keira and the others
returned.
He imdiately felt as if he had been released and
rushed to Keira. “Boss, this is the collaboration contract with the Allen family. I’ve brought it to you. If
there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now!”
Before leaving, he glanced back at Rebecca.
Rebecca was staring at him. Seeing him turn around, she bowed again.
Samuel was so frightened that he tumbled and
scrambled out the door…
Keira didn’t know what to say.
When Lewis saw Rebecca, his brow imdiately
furrowed.
Didn’t she go ho a couple of days ago? Why was she back again?
Suspicious, he eyed Keira warily. Surely these three
won weren’t planning to stav un all night talking
again?
Luckily, Mary was pregnant and not suited for staying up late…
Rebecca was a bit nervous. “I heard that Austin Gill has been trying to cause trouble for you. The
whole of Clance is buzzing with talk that he beat you up… How was the family reunion feast today?”
The feast that night didn’t actually invite people from the five major families but just the Olsen family’s
own
mbers.
After all, Keira wanted to keep a low profile.
Keira assured her that everything went smoothly, and Rebecca breathed a sigh of relief. She then
continued.
“About Austin, it’s not really an issue. But after this ruckus, it might be difficult for you to cooperate with
the Gill family.
Although Rebecca didn’t understand why Keira would want to have relationships with all five major
families, she still tried her best to help gather information.
Keira pressed her lips together.
Without ntioning how Jackson constantly bullied
Keera back at the Freeman Sect, just the rumors Austin spread about Mary had tarnished her
reputation. That grudge was set.
However…
“There’s always a way out. Let’s not talk about the Gill family for now. My primary goal is to join the
Freeman Sect first!”
After saying that, Keira looked at Rebecca, “If I were Jas’s sister, do you think Jas could get
into
the Freeman Sect?”
Rebecca thought for a mont and nodded, “There shouldn’t be a problem. You might not recognize
Jas’s significance to the Freeman Sect.”
Since her return, Rebecca had already begun to gather information for her. “As a second senior
brother, Jas
is in love with Kate Freeman, the daughter of the Freeman Sect Leader, and they’re engaged. The
Olsen family and the Freeman family had long agreed that the first two children they bear would carry
the Freeman surna. So, unless that mysterious eldest
senior sister marries into the Freeman family, the position of the Sect Leader will likely fall to Jas.
The
Sect Leader must have the surna Freeman, and
that’s a fundantal rule of the Freeman Sect.”
Keira nodded.
Rebecca added. “So, as a second senior brother, Jas has a lot of say in the Freeman Sect. At the
very least, he can let you beco a direct disciple of his Master, which would make you a legitimate
mber of their lineage.”
Keira was relieved to hear this.
Ti quickly moved to the next day.
Keira and Jas agreed on a ti to et at the entrance of the Freeman Sect.
Jas saw that it was still Lewis who had brought her over and imdiately hesitated, ultimately not
saying anything, but leading Keira inside while speaking, “Victoria has moved out to live on her own.
When are you moving back in?”
Seeing his enthusiasm, Keira imdiately said, “Maybe
in a while.”
Jas nodded, then smiled and said, “I called my Master yesterday, and he agreed. He even plans to
have the Sect Leader witness your discipleship
ceremony today…”
Keira was taken aback. “Isn’t this hasty? The discipleship ceremony is today?”
“Yeah, the Master is just taking you as a nad disciple…” Jas spoke as they walked. “The rest of
us had very formal ceremonies except for our eldest
senior sister, who was taken as a disciple by the Sect Leader outside the sect.”
Jas said, “Sister, you’ve been in the outer sect for so many years, and it might be too late for you to
practice martial arts. So, there’s no need to hurry after becoming a disciple. I’ll help you train at a
steady pa After all, not everyone is like our eldest senior sister,
who began training at the age of fifteen and now has an iron-clad body. I heard the Sect Leader say
that I can’t even last thirty moves against her, she’s so formidable…
“It’s about ti for the eldest senior sister to return, isn’t it? Why haven’t we heard anything? When we
see the Sect Leader, I’m going to ask him…”
