Chapter 366
Uncle Olsen’s statement left everyone stunned.
….
Christina and Victoria looked at him with utter disbelief.
Christina was the first to shout in astonishment. “Uncle, what, what are you talking about? Have you been deceived by Keera? How could she be your daughter?”
Victoria was also astonished as she watched everyone, incredulously turning her head to glance at Uncle Olsen and “Keera” in turn, a flash of surprise passing through her panic-stricken eyes.
She felt as if she were dreaming.
The scene unfolding before her was almost too incredible to believe.
Uncle Olsen abruptly turned to look at them, a stern look flashing in his eyes as he scolded, “Get out!”
Christina and Victoria were both slightly taken aback.
But after meeting Uncle Olsen’s gaze, both of them quickly lowered their heads. “Yes, Uncle, we’ll leave right away!”
Before they could leave, however, Keira stopped them. “Wait a minute.”
The two of them halted.
Keira then looked toward Uncle Olsen, addressing him. “I’ve heard that the board of the kindergarten has been taken over by the Olsen family, and Christina is currently in charge there. She expelled my daughter and Mrs. Jones’s son for no reason… How are you going to handle this matter?”
Uncle Olsen didn’t care about such trivial matters at all.
Upon hearing this, he looked indifferently toward Christina.
Christina immediately swallowed hard.
She and Victoria were all too aware of how much the Olsen family’s third branch had wanted a daughter; if Keera truly was Uncle Olsen’s daughter, her status would far exceed everyone, including Ellis!
After all, Uncle Olsen was the head of the household now!
Christina immediately said, “Uncle, there has been a misunderstanding. I didn’t know Keera was your daughter, I…”
“When you get back, immediately relinquish the position of director of the kindergarten!” Uncle Olsen, uninterested in her excuses, stripped her of her power in one sentence.
Christina was slightly shocked, feeling utterly disgraced.
Because she was an adopted daughter, she had always been very sensitive. The moment the Olsen family took over the board, she assumed the position, and today was supposed to be her day of triumph; but after only one day in charge, she was dismissed.
She managed to say, “Uncle, I…”
Before she could finish, Uncle Olsen looked at her. “Aren’t you leaving yet?”
His voice was deep and commanding, frightening Christina so much that she shivered all over. She could only nod. “I’m leaving now…”
Christina walked out dejectedly.
Victoria looked at Uncle Olsen after her sister had left and said, “Uncle, there has been some misunderstanding between my sister and Keera. Please don’t worry. I’ll talk to my sister…”
She used those words to distance herself from the matter before she hurried out the door.
After they left with the bodyguards, the room fell into silence.
Rebecca and Mary were still standing on the stairs, and at this moment, both were staring at Uncle Olsen with widened eyes.
Uncle Olsen’s fame was well-known, and he was an even more authoritative figure than Ken.
Over the years, he had been leading the Davis Corporation to greater heights, gradually becoming the trendsetter among the ajor families.
Neither the Allen family nor the Davis family could compare to the Olsen family…
That was why Christina and Victoria didn’t take the two of them seriously just now. But as it turned out, Keera was the real Olsen’s heiress?
Before even returning home, she had already implicitly made Rebecca and Mary envision the extent to which the Olsen family would dote on her.
Neither Christina nor Victoria could compare to her.
Both glanced at each other and then, holding onto Mrs. Jones and George, quietly made their way upstairs, leaving the room to the father and daughter.
When Uncle Olsen and Keira were alone, Keira lowered her eyes calmly.
She suddenly didn’t know what to say.
Uncle Olsen stared at her, and after a while, he finally said, “I’ve been looking for your mother this whole time, so I didn’t come back. Ellis told me that you already know your identity?”
Keira nodded and asked, “Then, is there any news about my mother?”
Uncle Olsen sighed. “Not yet.”
But he suddenly realized something. “Do you know something?”
Keira was a bit disappointed to hear this response, but considering Uncle Olsen’s persistence in finding Jodi South, she still disclosed everything she knew. “It was the South family who took her away.”
“The South family?”
Uncle Olsen frowned. “As in the surname South?”
“Yes.”
Now that they had a topic to talk about, Keira felt less awkward. She pointed to the sofa, inviting Uncle Olsen to sit down.
She then told him everything she knew about her origins.
In this world, if there was still someone she could trust, someone who was as eager as she was to rescue her mother, that person would definitely be Uncle Olsen.
After listening to Keira’s information, Uncle Olsen frowned slightly, and after a while, he looked at her. “So, you’re planning to risk yourself?”
Keira looked down. “Yes.”
“I don’t agree.”
Uncle Olsen rejected her plan. “Now that I know the truth, I’ll take care of rescuing your mother!”
Keira didn’t retort passionately but simply looked at him placidly. “You’ve been searching for more than a month, haven’t you? Have you found any clues?”
Uncle Olsen paused.
Keira looked at him. “I’m not as weak as you think. It’s settled then.”
She stood up and pointed toward the door, wanting to say something, but suddenly didn’t know how to address Uncle Olsen. She paused and finally said, “You should get back home.”
Uncle Olsen frowned and was annoyed. “What about you? It’s not convenient to stay here…”
“Staying here will let those people lower their guard. Besides…” Keira looked down, “I don’t know what happened between you and my mom in the past, so I haven’t accepted you as my dad yet.”
Uncle Olsen was speechless.
He stared at Keira silently for a long time. Seeing the determination on her face and knowing that he couldn’t persuade his daughter, he finally sighed. “Fine, I’ll leave now, but if you encounter any difficulties, you must tell me immediately!”
Keira nodded.
Uncle Olsen was very straightforward, leaving immediately after saying he would.
After he left, Mary quietly came down from upstairs, bumping into Keira’s arm, “Keira, aren’t you going home with Uncle Olsen?”
“No.”
Keira was thinking about how to make an excuse when she heard Mary say, “You don’t want to go back because you don’t want to marry Lewis, that divorced older man?”
Keira was perplexed.
Mary nodded. “You’re doing the right thing. Life is good for you now, with that handsome gigolo treating you well; there’s no need to go back for an arranged marriage! The two of you living well is better than anything!”
Keira’s lips twitched, and then she saw Rebecca and Lewis standing not far away, quietly watching Mary.
Mrs. Jones, after learning of Keira’s identity, had been in a state of shock, and no one came downstairs to disturb the conversation between Keira and Uncle Olsen.
At the moment, Mrs. Jones was upstairs, playing with the two children, and hadn’t come down.
Lewis and Rebecca were worried about Keira, so they followed Mary downstairs, but they didn’t expect to hear such a conversation as they approached.
Rebecca turned her head to look at Lewis, then at Mary, and suddenly coughed, “Well, Mary…”
Mary turned around to look at her.
Rebecca pointed at Lewis. “Do you know who he is?”
