Chapter 368
Keira really wanted to know what exactly had happened between her parents!
….
She could tell that Jodie had feelings for Uncle Olsen; otherwise, she wouldn’t have said such harsh words as “not to see each other even in death.”
Deep love begot deep hatred.
That was also why she hesitated and didn’t know if she should recognize Uncle Olsen as her father.
Lewis coughed. “I’m not sure what happened. I guess it has something to do with the South family.”
Keira immediately narrowed her eyes.
She felt like she had caught onto something…
Lewis continued. “When Keera died, after you discovered the conspiracy, why didn’t you come to find me right away?”
Keira was startled.
Lewis went on. “Aside from misunderstanding Madeleine’s incident, were there other reasons?”
Of course, there were.
It was because both the Horton family and the Olsen family had taken action yet still couldn’t trace the South family!
This made her feel panicked; she didn’t want to drag Lewis into this…
She didn’t understand just how terrifying the South family was, yet her sister Keera’s diary was full of panic and fear…
If Keera could scheme quietly and get her married to Lewis, it showed Keera wasn’t without means, but she was still so afraid of the South family.
And their mother, Jodie, was a born member of the South family… Could Jodie have left Uncle Olsen because she didn’t want to implicate him?!
Otherwise, Uncle Olsen, a man who was so decisive, would have resolved a true misunderstanding immediately.
Keira had a vague understanding of everything that had happened…
Jodie must have demanded “not to see each other even in death” because she didn’t want to implicate Uncle Olsen… If she truly didn’t love him, how could she bear his children?
So, Keira didn’t need to let these things stop her from acknowledging her father.
She looked through the rear-view mirror and glanced again at the vehicles that were following them from a distance.
Uncle Olsen was also worried about her, so had he chosen to accompany her in secret?
She pursed her lips, seemingly having unraveled the doubts in her heart, and then spoke to Lewis with a teasing tone. “It seems that he treats you quite well, for you to speak so favorably of him.”
Lewis immediately said, “I just don’t want you to be trapped by all this. After all, a father-in-law like him is quite rare. He’s a good father.”
Keira’s gaze softened.
Lewis might seem cold, but he was very considerate.
When she didn’t know Uncel Olsen was her father, Lewis called him Uncle Olsen. As soon as she acknowledged her father, he immediately switched to calling him father-in-law…
In the vehicle trailing behind.
Uncle Olsen sat quietly in the back seat, staring at the vehicle up front.
Seeing they were headed to the kindergarten, Uncle Olsen immediately ordered, “Issue the appointment now; have Keera represent the Olsen family on the board.”
The secretary sitting in the passenger seat immediately responded, “Yes.”
Uncle Olsen’s gaze gradually softened.
Uncle Olsen’s daughter hadn’t acknowledged him, yet he wasn’t angry at all; instead, he felt somewhat pleased. Her stubbornness and obstinacy were too similar to her mother’s in her younger years…
Keira had grown up following Jodie. Her obstinate nature was apparent even during her time in Oceanion; who would have thought Keira was the same?
…No, that wasn’t right!
Uncle Olsen abruptly sat upright.
Keira grew up in Clance. When he met the young woman in Oceanion, she claimed to be a local and said her mother was the best in the world.
Uncle Olsen suddenly realized something and turned to the people beside him. “Check the records and see if Keira visited Oceanion around the time of the incident.”
At the kindergarten, Keira, Mrs. Jones, and the others arrived at the entrance, only to be stopped by the security guard.
“Our school doesn’t allow irrelevant people to enter,” the guard stated.
Mrs. Jones replied, “We’re parents of the children. How are we irrelevant?”
Hearing this, the security guard reported to the principal, and soon, the principal came over.
Seeing the group at the entrance, the principal sighed. “Miss South, Mrs. Jones, making a fuss is useless. If the school says they should be expelled, then they’ll be expelled. There will be absolutely no change!”
Mrs. Jones said angrily, “I’ve already asked George, and he hasn’t done anything wrong, not like you said. I must have an explanation today!”
Miss Kelly sneered. “Even if he hasn’t, do you have evidence?”
“I want the full surveillance footage! Not the content that you guys selectively edit!”
“Sorry, as I’ve said, our surveillance is being repaired, and there’s no way to check it. Even if you call the police, there’s nothing they can do when they arrive!”
After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to George, scolding, “George, since you’re right here, why don’t you tell us, did you do those things?”
George shook his head. “I didn’t!”
“Liar!” Miss Kelly pointed at him and scolded, “Children who lie will have their noses grow long, and they’ll have nightmares. A big dinosaur will come to catch you! Also, you should consider why the teacher only talks about you and not them?”
Mrs. Jones, seeing that she dared to threaten her son in front of her, was suddenly furious. She covered her chest and scolded furiously, “You…”
The principal immediately took a step forward, placing himself between the two.
The principal looked at Mrs. Jones and sighed. “Mrs. Jones, why bother causing more trouble? You and I both know you’ve simply offended someone you shouldn’t have. That person has a powerful influence. Even if you talk sense to me here, it’s useless.”
Mrs. Jones calmed down upon hearing this.
She glanced at Keira and smirked. “Then do you know who the current school board director is?”
The principal laughed at this comment, “Of course I do, it’s Miss Olsen!”
Even though Christina got married, her marriage was to a man of lower status, as she had waited too long in the hope of a union with Lewis. By the time she decided to marry, suitors with an appropriate family background weren’t of a suitable age, so she still preferred others to refer to her as Miss Olsen.
Mrs. Jones raised an eyebrow. “Has the Olsen Group delivered the appointment?”
“That hasn’t happened, but it’s obviously her. You’ve offended someone, and it’s best you leave immediately. Otherwise, I’ll call security to escort you out! Right now, the kindergarten’s security measures are very strict.”
Miss Kelly spoke smugly, “Instead of entangling yourselves here, you’d be better off begging Miss Olsen. If you keep making a fuss, we’ll say you’re trying to break into the school, and that’s not good for the children! If you know what’s good for you, I advise you to leave quickly!”
Although the principal felt her speech was distasteful and her attitude toward the children was poor, since the teacher worked for Christina, he didn’t dare say much. He just sighed and showed a regretful smile to Mrs. Jones and Keira, advising kindly. “You should leave and find another school for the children…”
Before he could finish speaking, a car from the Olsen family suddenly stopped in front of the gate!
Uncle Olsen’s secretary got out of the car and strode toward the group.
