Chapter 362

Had someone from the Olsen family come?

….
These words made Keira look toward Mary, thinking that Ellis might have come to pick her up and take her home.

Even Mary was stunned for a moment, then turned to look outside the door.

A flicker of anticipation involuntarily appeared in Mary’s eyes—if it really was him…

But then she let out a bitter laugh. How could it be him?

With that thought, she saw several figures enter the room, with two women at the forefront, their faces livid. Was that Christina and Victoria?!

The moment they entered, Amy immediately clung to Keira’s leg in terror with tears welling up in her eyes. She was clearly still traumatized by the previous incident at school.

Seeing their malicious intent, Keira quickly picked up Amy and placed her in Lewis’s arms. “Take her upstairs.”

Lewis glanced at the two women, then looked at Keira with a questioning gaze. “Are you sure you can handle this?”

“No problem.”

Keira scoffed. “Before, I was under Isla’s thumb because of Grandma. She’s not here, and I’m not as fragile as you think.”

She rotated her wrist and clenched her fist.

Seeing her reaction, Lewis raised an eyebrow and then swiftly carried Amy upstairs.

Mary, standing aside, couldn’t understand what they were saying, but Rebecca did, and her admiration for Keira grew stronger.

Keira was brilliant in every aspect!

But she still stepped forward, blocking the side of Keira, and faced the two women from the Olsen family. “What are you doing here?”

Christina immediately sneered. “Rebecca, I would advise you not to meddle in other people’s business, lest when the fight starts, you accidentally get hurt again!”

Rebecca shot back. “You wouldn’t dare!”

“Why wouldn’t we dare?” Christina sneered again. “Do you really think you’re some Allen family’s little princess? Among the five major families of Clance, the Allen family is second from the bottom. How do you even match us in terms of family background?”

Rebecca was instantly taken aback.

Christina then curled her lip dismissively. “Everyone has been flattering you, and you’ve started to believe you’re so important. Doesn’t everyone know you were tricked into marriage and nearly died in Oceanion, unable to return? You’re a wilting flower and a lovesick fool. Have you been bewitched by Keera again?”

Rebecca felt nothing but rage.

Keira laughed mockingly. “What, you two will never get married in your lifetimes?”

Christina scoffed. “Of course, we won’t become infatuated like her. Now the whole of Clance knows about the stupid thing she did; how could anyone be willing to marry her again!”

Victoria then said, “Sister, don’t say that. The other day, she announced publicly that she wanted to marry Mr. Horton!”

Christina immediately laughed mockingly. “Her? How? Just because it’s a second marriage, she thinks she’s eligible? Can men be compared to women? You were deceived, but Mr. Horton is a widower—that’s different! Moreover, the Olsen family and the Horton family had a marriage arrangement long ago. It didn’t work out between Mr. Horton and Victoria before, but now an opportunity has risen!”

After that, she looked at Victoria. “I heard Mr. Horton is in Clance. One of these days, I’ll have our older brother arrange a meeting for you. You still ought to see each other and foster some feelings. Unlike certain people, you’ve never been married, and now in the whole of Clance, you’re the only one who’s a match for Mr. Horton…”

Rebecca was shaking with anger.

Seeing how every sentence from these two was aimed to wound Rebecca, Keira immediately said, “What exactly are you here for, and who are you looking for?”

She patted Rebecca’s hand in a calming gesture.

Rebecca soon calmed down and returned a warm smile to Keira.

Keira’s fingers were slender yet well-defined, and when they held hers, she felt a powerful sense of strength and security.

She had been married, but she wasn’t the one at fault. Her ex-husband was! She couldn’t let this matter confine her to the past. Similar rumors would abound in the future, and if she took every one to heart, wouldn’t she be infuriated all the time? She must learn to let go a little in the future!

As Rebecca thought of this, she finally forgave herself.

When Victoria and Christina saw that Rebecca didn’t say anything, they once again turned their attention to Keira in unison. “Why are we here? You’ll know in a moment!”

Almost as soon as these words were spoken, footsteps could be heard from outside.

Keira looked at the nanny with confusion.

The nanny immediately explained, “They came with bodyguards, and as soon as I opened the door, they came in before I had the chance to close it.”

Keira was speechless. Alright, today her home really seemed like a place anyone could enter.

She looked toward the doorway and saw Mrs. Jones, who had helped her at the school gate last time, leading the three-year-old George. George had red rims around his eyes, clearly having just cried, and was still sniffling as he entered.

Mrs. Jones herself had a face full of worry and anxiety. Even before she stepped in, her voice came through. “Miss South, I inquired about your address at the school and took the liberty of coming over. You won’t blame me. I’m here because…”

Her voice trailed off, however, when she saw the living room and was stunned. Mrs. Jones looked at Victoria and Christina in bewilderment and then turned her gaze back to Keira.

Seeing this, Keira immediately stepped forward and asked, “What happened?”

Mrs. Jones frowned, glanced at Christina and Victoria again, and then said, “The kindergarten has expelled George and Amy!”

At these words, Keira was momentarily stunned. “What did you say?”

Recently, she had taken a long leave for Amy. It allowed her to retain the spot in this elite kindergarten while letting Amy rest well at home, ensuring she felt plenty of love and security. The little girl had suffered too much before and was now always timid and fearful. Growing up like this would leave scars in her mind. But how had she been expelled? This school was one of the top institutions in the city, and to get back in would be extremely difficult…

Mrs. Jones also glared at Christina and Victoria with tearful eyes. “It’s because the school board has just undergone changes.”

Keira immediately sensed that Christina and Victoria had a hand in it and asked, “What changes?”

Mrs. Jones sighed. “The Olsen family has become the new school board member.” Previously, the Olsen family only had shares in the kindergarten, but now they had become school board members, which made an immediate shift in their status within the school.

Victoria and Christina exchanged a glance, and Christina, with her arms crossed, stepped forward. “Indeed, the position of this board chairman will be handled by me. Keira, your daughter and George are both unmanageable during class. We have held a meeting and discussed this matter, and they’ll be expelled from the school!”
