Chapter 364
“Who are you?”
….
Christina sneered, “You’re Keera, aren’t you? Before coming here, we had already thoroughly investigated your background.”
Keira was about to speak when Mary suddenly charged in front of her, blocking her way. “Christina, Victoria, that’s enough! Believe it or not, if I tell Ellis about today’s events, he won’t let you off!”
Christina was startled and hesitated for a moment.
Victoria lowered her gaze and said indifferently, “Yesterday, Ellis seemed to have gone out. Why weren’t you together on your wedding night?”
That remark seemed to remind Christina.
She immediately acted like she had caught on to something. “Vicky, are you serious?”
She seldom called Victoria by her full name because she hated their names. She felt the Olsen family gave them such big names just to prove something.
Victoria nodded. “I saw it with my own eyes. After Ellis left last night, he never came back. Mary, what’s going on with you and Ellis? You two didn’t have a fight, did you? You’ve just gotten married; it should be your honeymoon period…”
Christina said, “It’s definitely because Ellis doesn’t love her. What else could it be? I always thought there was something wrong with their marriage. There are so many young ladies in Clance. Why would Ellis end up with her of all people? She must have done something shameful to seduce him! Now she’s having a child, hoping to rise above her station overnight. Mary, I advise you to recognize your place. Do you really think that by marrying Ellis, you can become our sister-in-law? Let me tell you, it’s impossible! No one will accept you!”
Victoria said, “Christina, you can’t just say that. She does have a status after all. We should still let her have some dignity.”
Christina scoffed. “Fine, she can apologize. As long as the apology is sincere enough, we can let her off the hook!”
Victoria raised an eyebrow.
Mary asked naively, “Okay, I’ll apologize on behalf of Keera. Regardless of what has happened or who is right or wrong, we’re sorry. Can we live harmoniously from now on?”
Christina immediately laughed. “Mary, you can’t be that naive. Is an apology over and done with just by saying it?”
Mary immediately furrowed her brows. “Then what do you want? Or should I say, how much money do you want?”
Christina and Victoria exchanged glances before Christina said, “We don’t need money.”
Mary blurted out without thinking. “Then what do you want? A house? Jewelry? Or something else?”
Victoria didn’t say a word but only looked at Keira with a smile.
Christina then crossed her arms. “We won’t make it difficult for our sister-in-law. Given your special status and being pregnant at the moment, let’s have Keera kneel to me and apologize, and that’ll be fine.”
“Kneel?”
Mary’s voice turned sharp in an instant. “Impossible!”
She looked at Christina as if she had understood something and said, “You’re not here to negotiate at all. You’re just here to make things difficult for Keera!”
“Finally figured it out?” Christina admitted. “Mary, as long as you stay out of it today, we won’t make things difficult for you in the Olsen family in the future. Otherwise, you should know, given the regard the Olsen family has for Vicky and me, you’ll gave some very difficult days ahead!”
After saying that, she looked at Keira again. “Kneel, and I’ll forgive you, but I want you to kneel longer for my sister because you hit her!”
Mary was so angry her face turned ashen, and she said furiously, “I told you, it’s impossible! Christina, you two better leave immediately, or else I will…”
Her words trailed off for a moment.
“Or else what?” Christina scoffed. “Call the police? You’re now a member of the Olsen family as well. You should understand that even the police can’t touch us.”
Victoria added. “Maybe she’s planning to call Ellis?”
“Ellis? Will he answer her call? She ran away on her wedding night. Does she think she can command Ellis? Besides, if he were here, it’s not a given he would take her side!”
Mary was so angry she couldn’t speak and simply shouted, “You…”
“What about us?”
Christina took a step forward, her chin slightly raised as she looked down at the others. “Are you going to kneel? Beg for mercy! Don’t force us to get physical!”
Keira, with her arms crossed, stood her ground and spoke only to Mary and Rebecca. “You two, go upstairs.”
Mary didn’t understand what was happening, but Rebecca immediately nodded, grabbing Mary and pulling her back.
Mary became angry. “What are you doing? Keira might get hurt!”
“She won’t…”
Rebecca comforted her, “You must trust the benefactor’s ability…”
“What ability?” Mary panicked. “I’ve grown up with her since we were kids. She really might get hurt!”
“Don’t worry, she won’t!”
Rebecca continued pulling at Mary. “Don’t go over there and be an obstruction!”
Mary was very worried. Just as she was about to move forward again, she saw Keira twist her fists slightly, take a step forward, and look at Christina, saying, “Quit the nonsense. Are you planning to come at me together, or one by one?”
Christina was dumbfounded.
Victoria also frowned.
Victoria clenched her jaw. “Leaving aside that you’re going to face so many of us alone, do you really think even if you could beat them, you would dare take a move?”
“Exactly, we are the Olsen family! My sister and I are the most pampered daughters. If you lay a hand on us and it causes a big scene, the Olsen family will never let you off the hook!”
Keira tilted her head. “You really talk too much. Are you just here to stir up trouble?”
Christina then looked toward Mrs. Jones. “Mrs. Jones, aren’t you afraid? If she really dares to fight back, we definitely won’t let your son or her daughter go back to school!”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jones said, “Whether he goes to school or not isn’t important. What matters is that I want George to know he’s not a measurement of value! Miss South, do as you see fit! If worst comes to worst, I’ll send my son abroad!”
Keira looked at Mrs. Jones again after hearing this and felt that she had found a friend worth keeping. She nodded.
Meanwhile, outside the villa, a string of luxury cars entered one after another, attracting the attention of everyone in the neighborhood from the moment they entered.
Soon, the cars stopped right at the doorstep of the South residence. Bodyguards immediately got out of the cars and jogged around to the other side, opening the car doors.
The head of them was a Rolls-Royce. A handsome middle-aged man in a suit came out, and it was none other than Uncle Olsen.
He looked toward the small villa and then back at the front door, only to find that the door to the villa was unexpectedly open…
