502 Chapter 501
The entire banquet hall was enveloped in dead silence.
Everyone stared at Lewis in disbelief. Those who had been secretly discussing him as "Keera's" gigolo all had their mouths agape, feeling that the world had turned upside down!
Victoria even shouted, "That's impossible! You are obviously Keera's driver and her gigolo, you..."
Lewis glanced at her and said indifferently, "I admire Miss Keera, and I've been courting my fiancée. Is there a problem?"
These words silenced Victoria imdiately.
The people around her quickly chid in.
"So this was all a misunderstanding! Miss Olsen never did anything inappropriate!"
"Yeah, what gigolo? The rumors out there are ridiculous! Miss Olsen and Mr. Horton have been engaged for a long ti; it's not strange for them to beco close, right?"
"They even said the two families wanted to unite through marriage... turns out it's true love!"
"The funniest thing is the reaction from the Horton family. Don't you find it strange? Mr. Horton and Miss Olsen are so affectionate. He surely never expressed any dissatisfaction with Miss Olsen. Why didn't the Hortons co out to welco the Olsen family? Sothing's not right here!"
"The funniest thing is the reaction from the Horton family. Don't you find it strange? Mr. Horton and Miss Olsen are so affectionate. He surely never expressed any dissatisfaction with Miss Olsen. Why didn't the Hortons co out to welco the Olsen family? Sothing's not right here!"
"What's not right about it? Mr. Horton is from the second branch of the Horton family, but there's a first branch, too. I've long heard that Mr. Nathan Horton favors the first branch..."
"So the first branch of the Horton family is up to sothing? How absurd."
"..."
A group of people whispered and pointed at Victoria, Oliver, and Nathan.
Although Oliver and Nathan felt disgraced at this mont, their attention was focused on "Keera". Both were shocked as they blurted out, "Keira? You're not dead?"
Keira looked down indifferently. "And these gentlen are?"
Lewis imdiately played along. "Keera, this is my father, and this is my elder brother."
Then he introduced her to them. "This is Uncle Olsen's long-lost daughter, Keera. Now, she has returned to the Olsen family and changed her na to Keera Olsen."
Oliver and Nathan exchanged glances, both sowhat puzzled. "Keera? Not Keira?"
Keira didn't respond to them but turned to look at Victoria instead.
Victoria was still staring at them in shock and disbelief. Keira sneered. "Victoria, this is Lewis. Are you disappointed?"
Victoria imdiately swallowed hard. "I, I didn't an..."
"Didn't you just keep saying that the Horton and Olsen families should call off the engagent? Weren't you hoping that when Lewis and I called off our engagent, you could step in?"
Victoria imdiately waved her hands, then looked appealingly at Uncle Olsen. "Uncle, I didn't an that. It was only a misunderstanding. I did it all for the good of the Olsen family. I didn't know Keera's boyfriend was Lewis... I didn't do it on purpose. I had no other intentions!"
After finishing her teary speech, she switched to her ingénue act and said, "I know that after your daughter returned ho, you all disliked and kicked out of the house. Rest assured, I will never visit again to spare my sister the frustration of seeing ."
Her words elicited sympathy from the onlookers.
"The Olsen family imdiately discarded the adopted daughter after finding their biological child; isn't that a bit harsh?"
"Shh, keep your voice down..."
Keira sneered and looked toward Uncle Olsen.
Uncle Olsen said, "Your sister certainly gets irritated at seeing you because soone as ungrateful and traitorous as you, soone who betrays their own family, is truly not welco in the Olsen family!"
As soon as these words ca out, the surrounding crowd imdiately reacted with shock.
Victoria also turned to look at him frantically. "Uncle, what are you talking about?"
Uncle Olsen said, "So ti ago, the Olsen family had a bit of a misunderstanding with the Gill family. Soone sent Austin a fake report about Ellis. Do you really think I don't know who sent it?"
This statent imdiately shocked Victoria.
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she turned to look at him. "Uncle, I don't know what you an. It really wasn't . I..."
But she couldn't continue.
Because she knew very well that Uncle Olsen was never one to speak carelessly; whatever he said, he indeed had evidence to back it up.
Uncle Olsen let out a cold laugh.
Victoria's legs instantly went weak, and she collapsed onto the ground.
She swallowed hard. "Uncle, please, I beg you to spare . I was just confused for a mont. I only felt that once Keera ca back, you wouldn't need anymore, and I couldn't accept that... I know I was wrong, Uncle... The Olsen family raised , and I am grateful for that, Uncle..."
Uncle Olsen said coldly, "The Olsen family raised you and never expected you to do anything for them. Since you can't get over it, you might as well repay the Olsen family's kindness."
Victoria was startled. "How should I repay it?"
Uncle Olsen said indifferently, "We have a business partner overseas who wants an arranged marriage. Weren't you very keen on representing the Olsen family in an arranged marriage? Well then, off you go!"
Upon hearing this, Victoria's eyes lit up. "Which family?"
Uncle Olsen curled his lips. "The Martin family."
Victoria imdiately asked, "Scott Martin?"
Uncle Olsen smiled mockingly. "Stop daydreaming. Do you think Scott Martin is within your reach? His uncle just lost his wife; you can go and be his next wife in line."
This comnt drained the color from Victoria's face instantly.
Scott Martin's uncle... that middle-aged man notorious for his brutality?
The rumors suggested he was sowhat impotent and, therefore, particularly enjoyed sadistic relationships; he had already lost three wives...
In those places abroad, in large families like the Martins, such matters were hardly pursued...
Victoria inhaled sharply.
Just as she was about to say sothing else, Uncle Olsen waved his hand, and two bodyguards stepped forward, grabbing Victoria's arms.
Uncle Olsen commanded, "Keep an eye on her. Don't let her leave the house before the marriage is done!"
"Yes!"
Victoria wanted to speak, but soone stuffed a piece cloth into her mouth and then forcefully dragged her away.
This series of actions took place smoothly. Everything was extraordinarily seamless.
Just like that, Uncle Olsen punished Victoria while everyone watched. He slowly turned to look at Oliver and Nathan. "Gentlen, you don't mind, do you? The Olsen family always takes swift and decisive action."
Oliver and Nathan imdiately swallowed hard, waving their hands. "No, we don't mind at all."
Uncle Olsen asked again, "Did you just say that you want to cancel the engagent?"
Nathan imdiately twitched the corner of his mouth. "No, we didn't. They are perfectly matched, and we are very pleased!"
Uncle Olsen let out a cold laugh and glanced at Keira before turning around with the two n to return to the banquet hall.
Keira raised an eyebrow, looking at Susan, who was hiding behind Peter.
