Billionaire

400 Chapter 399 

Outside the Freeman Sect. 

Sitting in the car, Lewis raised an eyebrow when he saw this WhatsApp message. 

Tom, who had already returned to Clance, was sitting in the backseat looking at him. He immediately asked upon seeing the message, “Boss, aren’t you worried 

about Miss Olsen?” 

Lewis tossed his phone to the side. “She might have a slight misunderstanding of her own strength.” 

Tom was perplexed. 

Unable to hold back, Tom blurted out, “I’ve never seen Miss Olsen able to fight her way out. When we were in Oceanion, there were a few times when she was restrained by bodyguards!” 

Lewis couldn’t help but give him a sideward glance. “The time she got restrained was because of Grandma.” 

Reflecting for a moment, Tom understood and immediately nodded, “Right, right, it was because of old Mrs. Horton! Speaking of which, old Mrs. Horton is

also 

400 Chapter 399 

in Clance this time, just waiting for you to bring Miss Olsen home!” 

Lewis glanced at the Freeman Sect and sighed softly, “Tell Grandma, I won’t be coming back yet.” 

Before he could clarify Keera’s identity, he couldn’t rightfully bring Keira back to meet Grandma… 

Inside the Freeman Sect. 

After Keira sent the message and saw that Lewis hadn’t replied, she felt a bit puzzled. 

Did her phone have no reception? 

While pondering this, Jackson stepped forward, regarding her coldly. “It’s useless to call anyone now. Even if James were here, he would have to abide by the drawing of lots! Keera, if you kneel and beg for mercy now, I might let you off, asking Erick to show you some leniency!” 

Keira remained silent. 

Her expression became grave. 

Kneeling and begging for mercy was out of the 

09:45

400 Chapter 399. 

question. 

The only thing she could do now was to try her hardest to defeat Erick! 

Keira took a deep breath and said earnestly, “Alright 

then, let’s do this!” 

She walked to the foot of the fighting stage. 

The martial arts competition even had a stage set up for matches according to the order of the draw. 

Keira was the fifteenth. 

The contenders ahead of her got beaten black and blue on the stage, and every time they came down, the defeated ones were covered in injuries, a sight that 

made Keira’s heart pound with fear. 

She had anemia due to iron deficiency; if she accidentally got wounded… 

What was that man Lewis doing? He didn’t even reply 

to her message. 

The key point was that she had left Samuel in Oceanion because the company there was still preparing to go public… 

09:45 

3/9 

400 Chapter 399 

What if she lost too much blood later? Who would she 

get to save her? 

Looking around, she could only turn to Matias. “If I lose too much blood and faint, remember to take me 

to the hospital for IV fluids. In addition to a blood transfusion, I also need an iron supplement.” 

Matias was speechless. 

Keera’s serious warning threw his heart into disarray. 

He looked over at Erick again. “Keera, are you sure you 

can do this?” 

“I’ll give it a try.” 

Keira sounded uncertain. “If I lose, there’s nothing I 

can do. But if I somehow win, does that mean I have a chance to make it to the finals and become an Inner 

Sect Disciple?” 

Matias nodded. “You definitely have a chance!” 

But then he looked her up and down. “But how can you beat Erick? Have you forgotten? When the two of us were just starting to practice martial arts, Jackson bullied us, and we both teamed up and fought against him, yet when Erick stepped in, he took us both down. 

09:45 – 

4/9 

< 

400 Chapter 399 

Neither of us can defeat him alone… Maybe you should 

just admit defeat as soon as you step on the stage!” 

“There’s a rule on the dueling platform that if the opponent doesn’t admit defeat, you can keep fighting!” 

Just as Matias finished speaking, Jackson came over with a beaming smile, raising an eyebrow at Keira. “Keera, are you really sure about this? Are you certain you want to fight Erick? 

“Don’t tell me you actually think you’re something special just because you lasted three moves against the second senior brother? Doesn’t everyone know that he went easy on you guys this year? Weren’t you also at the martial arts tournament last year? Didn’t you fail to withstand the second move from the third senior 

brother? 

“If you humbly admit your mistake now, there’s still a chance… The platform is now on the fourteenth match, and it’s almost your turn against Erick.” 

Jackson went on and on, and Keira couldn’t help but stick a finger in her ear and look at him. “Are you a frog? You’re so noisy!” 

Jackson was shocked. 

6/9 

400 Chapter 399 

His face suddenly darkened. “Fine, since you’re so unappreciative, then don’t blame Erick for not showing 

you any mercy!” 

Keira pursed her lips. 

In the stands. 

James was constantly observing from their side, holding the latest list of matching contestants. When he saw that Keera was up against Erick, he couldn’t help but frown. 

During the last screening, he intentionally went easy on others, but when it was Keera’s turn, he also didn’t control his strength well, and somehow, she managed to dodge his three moves. 

Thinking about it now, he still found it unbelievable, feeling that he had underestimated this Outer Sect Disciple. 

But no matter what, she couldn’t possibly defeat Erick, 

could she? 

Erick was one of the formidable ones among the Outer Sect Disciples… 

Thinking this, he suddenly caught sight of Elder Grant, 

6/9 

400 Chapter 399 

who took a seat in the stands and asked, “Has Keera 

finished her match?” 

“Not yet.” 

After the other Elders answered, Elder Grant nodded. 

While they conversed, the fourteenth match finally concluded, and the defeated side was carried off, sent 

straight to the hospital, not only with a bruised nose and swollen face but almost drenched in blood stains. 

Seeing his pitiable state, Keira couldn’t help but worry about her own safety even more. 

When the presiding Elder announced the fifteenth match, Keira coughed and looked at Matias. 

“Remember, if I lose too much blood, send me to the 

hospital for an iron infusion, okay?” 

Matias was dumbfounded. 

So were the rest of the people. 

Even Elder Grant in the stands couldn’t help but furrow his brows. 

That day, during the Bone Assessment, he sensed that she should be very formidable, but why did an Outer Sect Disciple seem so concerned and lack confidence? 

09.45 

7/9 

400 Chapter 399 

Outer Sect Disciples were those without much talent, any random Inner Sect Disciple could easily defeat 

them… 

Elder Grant suddenly started doubting his judgment from that day, could it be that he assessed her wrong? 

Wouldn’t that mean he had misled the Sect Leader for 

nothing! 

He thought he had finally found a good pupil, just like the Sect Leader had. 

Depression and doubt began to creep into the bottom of Elder Grant’s heart. 

He sighed quietly to himself, slumping a bit in his seat. 

On the platform, Keira and Erick stepped up. 

Though Keira was tall for a woman, she was nevertheless slender, whereas Erick stood at a towering six feet three, strong and muscular. His body was covered in well-defined muscles. 

Standing together, the disparity in their strength was clear at a glance. It was a match that seemed to lack 

any suspense. 

Turning to Keira…. 

09.45 

8/9 

400 Chapter 399 

She had a taut expression, her eyes warily watching Erick as if she was prepared to be bullied… 

With the presiding Elder’s command to “Begin,” Erick let out a ferocious shout and charged straight at Keira!

9/9

401 Chapter 400 

Keira was startled. 

Her expression grew more solemn, she hadn’t an 

ounce of contempt, and she exerted all her strength to meet Erick’s fist! 

Matias, seeing this scene, was immediately startled and shouted, “Get out of the way! Erick’s brute strength is all in his fists. How can you block it?!” 

These words made Keira panic. 

She couldn’t block it? 

When her master taught her, it was always that 

offense was the best defense! 

But the punch was already thrown, and she still had time to pull back and dodge, but there was no need… 

Thinking like this, Keira still used all her strength and pushed out with her palm! 

“Bang!” 

The fist struck into the palm of Keira… 

Matias abruptly closed his eyes, almost foreseeing that 

05:46 

1/9 

< 

401 Chapter 400 

Keera’s arm would surely dislocate, and she would be 

sent flying! 

But the anticipated scream didn’t come… 

Matias slowly opened his eyes for a peek and saw Keira also a bit stunned, staring blankly at Erick’s fist, and then looking at him with a puzzled gaze. 

Then, she pushed with her palm again! 

Erick immediately stepped back two steps, but Keira’s feet didn’t move a bit! 

Keira was surprised. 

The people below were also stunned, and then Jackson started shouting, “Erick, what are you doing? Are you showing mercy to women now? Get on her! Teach that stinky bitch a lesson!” 

Keira suddenly realized. 

So Erick wasn’t that bad after all? 

Was it that he couldn’t bear to watch Jackson’s behavior, and so he deliberately held back? 

Thinking this way, Keira’s gaze softened as she looked at Erick, and since it was like this, there was no need 

05:46 

2/9 

< 

401 Chapter 400 

to use her full strength… 

With this thought, Erick gathered his energy and charged at her again. 

His fierce appearance looked pretty convincing! 

Keira caught his fist again with barely any effort! It really was a show for Jackson! 

She immediately gave Erick a kind smile and pushed him away, saying, “Thanks for your kindness, but I must win this match, and I have my reasons that compel me to win. You don’t have to hold back anymore!” 

Erick was confused. 

At that moment, all thoughts of questions went through his mind! 

What the hell was that? 

Who the hell was letting her win?! 

Erick thought of this and couldn’t help glancing at the audience area, only to see Jackson looking at him with a very unkind gaze. He hastily explained, “I didn’t! I really used all my strength!” 

09:46 

3/9 

401 Chapter 400 

Jackson glared at him venomously. “Okay, Erick, I didn’t expect you to be so deceitful to me! What? Did you get charmed by this woman’s face too? Go beat her up and punish her harshly!” 

Erick didn’t know what to say. 

He really had used all his strength! 

To prove his words, he waved his fists and rushed at Keira again, but she only wayed her hand. 

It seemed she only used a fraction of her strength to block his attack, and then she looked at him with a 

kind smile again. “Are you sure you’re not using your full strength? Thank you very much.” 

Erick was dumbfounded. 

Then, he was gently punched by his opponent and 

knocked off the arena. 

Being knocked off the arena was also considered losing the competition. 

Erick was dumbfounded. 

He lost? 

He actually lost! 

09:40 – 

4/9 

401 Chapter 400 

Looking back at the stands, the slender woman was still smiling warmly at him. “Thank you for yielding.” 

Erick was speechless. 

Stunned, he turned his head to see Jackson already in front of him, raising his fist and viciously punching him 

in the face! 

“Bang!” 

Jackson’s punch landed on his face. “You 

good-for-nothing scum! Do you not even listen to me now? When did you take a fancy to that bitch? To yield to her so much! Is this a martial arts competition or are you playing house? Even children pretend better than you!” 

Keira jumped down from the competition stage and frowned as she spoke, “Jackson, don’t go too far. Erick is just fed up with your domineering arrogance! 

There’s nothing between him and me!” 

Erick was dumbfounded. 

He immediately spoke up, “I didn’t, I…” 

“Slap!” 

Another fierce slan to his face cut off Erick’s words. 

05:46 

5/9 

401 Chapter 400 

and Jackson stretched out his finger, pointing at him. “Fine! I’ll remember this!!” 

Jackson turned and left with his men. 

Erick didn’t know what to say. 

He was going crazy! 

He glared at Keira and angrily said, “Why did you lie!” 

He had just lost two teeth and spoke with a whistle due to the gap. 

Keira felt silent. 

She sighed as she looked at Erick. “Sorry, I can’t act. I exposed you.” 

Erick was speechless. 

He looked around at the onlookers and knew that the 

conversation between the two of them would 

definitely reach Jackson’s ears, and he felt utterly 

terrified. 

Keira, however, seemed oblivious to this and instead 

walked over to Matias. 

Matias couldn’t help but size her up. “Are you okay? Did Erick really go easy on you?” 

09:46 

6/9 

401 Chapter 400 

Keira immediately looked at Erick, and seeing him giving her a pleading look, she quickly nodded and gestured with her hand, indicating she understood. She then said, “How could that be? I’ve become 

stronger!” 

It seemed like Matias caught on to her intent and immediately nodded. “That’s right, in half a year, you went from a good-for-nothing to an expert! That’s truly amazing. Erick is… impressive!” 

Erick was speechless. 

Everyone had seen the little gestures between the two, and their poor acting skills were on full display. 

Could the two of them be any more ostentatious?! 

Jackson would doubt them even more!! 

Erick cried inwardly. 

Keira, on the other hand, walked away pleased. 

If Erick would let her pass, she might soon enter the 

Inner Sect and become an Inner Sect Disciple! 

Then, having accomplished cooperation with the Zhou family, only the Gill family would be left… 

Well the Gill family…. 

09:40 

7/9 

401 Chapter 400 

Keira rubbed her chin, deep in thought when suddenly, someone appeared in front of her. She looked up to see that it was none other than Elder Grant. 

At this moment, Elder Grant was looking at her with a burning gaze, circling around her. 

After a while, Elder Grant grabbed her wrist. “You’re a prodigy, truly a prodigy!” 

The Outer Sect Disciples practiced martial arts mostly for fun and couldn’t even tell if Erick was really holding back or faking it, but how could these things escape his eyes?! 

Keera had ordinary bones and even mediocre traits as a child. Who would’ve thought she would grow up to be a prodigy?! 

He had misjudged her! Luckily, he had found her again! 

Even though he had never seen such a person before, Elder Grant would never allow any talent to be buried in the Freeman Sect, so he excitedly pulled Keira’s hand. “Let’s go. I’ve spoken to the Sect Leader already, and I’ll take you to see him for Bone Assessment!” 

Upon hearing this, Keira’s eyes suddenly lit up. 

00:46

403 Ch 403 Chapter 402 

403 Chapter 402 

Uncle Olsen usually stood aloof from the world, rarely mingling with people.→ 

At this moment, the one speaking to him was an old friend from childhood, and the question asked managed to pique his interest, so he replied, “No rush. Wait for everyone to arrive, and I’ll introduce you.” 

A group of people immediately burst into laughter. “Alright, with such a grand momentum, we’re all waiting for your good news!” 

By the entrance, Victoria listened to this conversation 

and glanced at her other brothers, noticing that their expressions were somewhat displeased. 

She immediately looked toward James and whispered, “James, does everyone dislike Keera that much?” 

“Yes,” James sneered. “Of course!” 

Victoria asked excitedly, “Is it because she kept a gigolo after getting divorced?” 

“That’s right!” 

James continued with a dark face. “Even you know 

09:46 

1/9 

403 Chapter 402 

about this!” 

“Even?” Victoria was perplexed. 

James sneered. “With her behaving this way, is she doing right by Uncle Olsen?” 

Victoria was confused. 

She looked at James in bewilderment, wondering why Keera had wronged Uncle Olsen. 

Had she wronged Uncle Olsen’s kindness in raising her? Indeed, she should have sought Uncle Olsen’s consent first before dating someone else… 

Thinking this way, Victoria nodded. “Right, she has wronged Uncle Olsen terribly!” 

James and the other brothers exchanged glances and immediately turned their attention to Ellis. “Ellis, you stay here to welcome the guests; we’ll go in and entertain them, as quite a few have already arrived!” 

Ellis didn’t think much of it and simply nodded. “Go 

ahead.” 

His response gave the six brothers some liberty, and they promptly entered the banquet hall. 

09:46 – 

2/9 

< 

403 Chapter 402 

James first looked toward Keira and Mary… 

Both were keeping a low profile, and Keira even wore a black gown, walking discreetly around the corners of the banquet. 

Charles couldn’t help but speak, “Do you see? That one, she does look quite pretty, and for some reason, she even seems approachable. How did she end up doing something to wrong Uncle Olsen?” 

James scoffed. “Appearances can be deceiving; that’s just who she is! Back at Freeman Sect, she almost 

fooled me!” 

The other brothers also chimed in. 

“What do we do now?” 

“Have a chat, and make her either leave that gigolo or 

leave this banquet hall. How about that?” 

“Exactly, we can’t let Uncle Olsen become the 

laughingstock of Clance!” 

Charles then added. “I have a little idea!” 

Everyone immediately looked at him intently. 

Charles raised his eyebrows. “What do you all think 

05.46 

3/9 

403 Chapter 402 

about this? Shall I recognize her as my foster sister? That way, Uncle Olsen surely wouldn’t have to introduce her as our future aunt, right?” 

James’s eyes lit up. “That’s smart! Why didn’t I think of that!” a 

“This banquet then has its direction, no longer without a way to conclude!” 

“But will she agree to you as her foster brother?” 

Charles immediately said, “She’ll definitely agree. Once she acknowledges me, she’ll be the Olsen family’s foster daughter, and there are plenty of benefits to 

that!” 

After saying this, he walked up to Keira. 

Keira was holding a plate, lingering in the buffet area, feeling the inherent issue with banquets: insatiated. 

The shelves were filled with all sorts of fancy items… 

Keira picked a cookie and was about to turn to find Mary when she saw Charles standing in front of her. He then crossed his arms, snickered, and said, “Let me ask you. If I acknowledge you as my sister, would you 

be 

up for it?” 

09:46 – 

4/9 

403 Chapter 402 

Keira was perplexed. 

She raised an eyebrow and followed Charles’s gaze to look at the group standing not far away, headed by 

James and the other five brothers. 

Then she chuckled softly, saying indifferently, “Alright then.” 

Charles’s eyes lit up. “I knew you’d know how to 

choose, so tell Uncle Olsen later. Don’t let him 

announce that you’re his future wife, got it?” 

The Charles in front of her seemed to be not much 

older than she was. Right now, his gaze toward her 

carried a hint of naive bewilderment. 

Keira found that the boys in the Olsen family were all quite innocent… 

The Olsen family had a good upbringing. 

She lowered her gaze. “Sure! 

Seeing how readily she agreed, Charles was somewhat surprised, “Are you serious?” 

“Yes.” 

“Alright, it’s a deal then!” 

09:46 

579 

403 Chapter 402 

Charles ran back excitedly, and Keira, holding her 

plate, waved at the six gourd brothers before lingering in the dining area. 

“How did it go?” 

“How did it go!” 

As soon as Charles returned, everyone immediately 

started to ask. 

After Charles relayed Keira’s response, everyone became excited. “That’s really great!” 

Charles even said. “Ellis, I think Keera is pretty nice. When I was chatting with her just now, she looked so 

cute when she smiled!” 

James scoffed. “You naive kid. Don’t be fooled by he 

looks!” 

The group was laughing and joking… 

After Keira ate a few cookies, she wanted to continue, but Mary stopped her. “We’re going to eat later, why are you eating so many cookies now? Won’t eat your meal later?” 

Keira was surprised. “We’re going to have a meal?” 

00:46 

6/9 

403 Chapter 402 

Mary nodded and pointed to a nearby private room. “This is the buffet area, but there’s also a seating 

arrangement…” 

Then she pointed to the seat at the main table. “As Uncle Olsen’s daughter and the guest of honor today, you’ll be eligible to sit at the main table.” 

Keira was surprised. 

+49 

She had thought these cookies were dinner, but it turned out wealthy family banquets were so elaborate! 

After waiting a bit longer, the others gradually began to move toward the banquet area. 

Keira accompanied Mary first to her seat at the second 

table. 

As Ellis’s wife, she held a place there. 

Keira then looked for her own seat, checking the cards 

on the table. 

Just as she turned around, she saw a group from the Olsen family approaching. Victoria was among them, following James and the others. When she saw Keira, Victoria immediately looked toward James, “James, is Keera sitting at the main table tonight?” 

00:46 =) 

7/9 

403 Chapter 402 

Upon these words, everyone’s attention swiftly turned 

to Keira. 

Even Victoria was clutching her fingers tightly. 

She feared that once Keera returned home, she might instantly leapfrog over her to become the most prestigious daughter of the Olsen family. Thus, this was her laying a trap. 

She hoped to have James announce her seating in front of everyone. 

James glanced at Keira and sneered, then looking down, he said flatly, “Of course not. The main table is 

reserved for the elders. As for Keera…” 

James surveyed the scene… Today, he was in charge of entertaining guests and arranging the seating. 

He pointed to the third table right away. “Take a seat there! It’s appropriate for your status and position.” 

Mary furrowed her brows. “James, how can you arrange it like this?” 

05.46 

8/3 

404 Chapter 403 

James sneered. “Then where should I put her? If I 

really put her at the main table, surrounded by elders, would she even be able to sit down?” 

Mary said, “Today, Keera is the guest of honor at the family banquet. What reason would she have for not being able to sit down? You…” 

Before she could finish, James interrupted. “The guest of honor? So what? If her status isn’t sufficient, she should just stay squatting there.” 

If she were a legitimate daughter of the Olsen family, she definitely would be able to sit at the main table! 

None of her seven brothers would mind! 

But Keera was just an insignificant lover kept by Uncle Olsen; why bother making such a fuss over where she 

sits? 

Mary frowned at James’s words. “You…” 

Victoria stepped forward and said, “Mary, the seating has been arranged long ago. Please don’t mind it and just take a seat quickly! If we don’t sit, others won’t be 

09.01 

1/9 

404 Chapter 403 

able to take their places either!” 

Mary immediately felt as if she had been criticized and furrowed her brows. 

Before she could speak, Keira tapped her on the shoulder. “Just sit down. It doesn’t matter to me where 

I sit.” 

Taking a deep breath, Mary then sat down. 

After she was seated, the rest of the Olsen family followed and took their seats accordingly. 

Although their attitude had been poor just before, their family education, ingrained to the bone, couldn’t be disregarded. 

Keira walked to the third table and casually sat down. 

It didn’t take long before several girls came over, took their seats next to her, and then turned to look at 

Keira. 

In a low voice, someone asked, “I heard from Mary just now. Is she really today’s host? She’s the star of the family banquet, but she’s seated here. What’s going 

on?” 

One of the girls, who was close to Victoria, already 

09:01 

2/9 

404 Chapter 403 

knew Keera’s identity. Hearing this, she scoffed. “Her? Apparently, she’s the Olsen family’s illegitimate daughter!” 

“What? Is she the long-awaited ‘dear daughter’ of the Olsen family?” 

“Nonsense! Would ‘dear daughter’ be seated at the third table? Can’t you infer something from the seating arrangement?” 

“No, what do you mean?” 

The woman scoffed. “I see that she’s simply not valued in the Olsen family!” 

“True. Even Victoria sits at the second table, below her brothers, while she’s at the third table… This clearly shows the Olsen family doesn’t take this illegitimate daughter seriously at all!” 

“Victoria and Christina really thought they were so coveted! Now that ‘dear daughter’ is back, she’s not 

valued either!” 

“Are you guys dumb? How could she ever be valued? Whether she’s from the first or the second branch, she has three or four brothers watching her like hawks! 

Who would want another sister especially one born to 

09:01 

3/9 

404 Chapter 403 

their father by another woman?” 

“Right, but… illegitimate daughter, which branch are you from?” 

Someone looked at Keira and asked. 

Keira simply ignored them, picked up her fork, and started eating. 

These people were discussing her gossip right in front of her and clearly didn’t care to lower their voices as if they wanted her to hear it; wasn’t it just because they thought she wasn’t valued by the Olsen family and that they could bully her at will? 

Then why should she be courteous and respectful to 

them? 

Keira’s actions made those young ladies purse their 

lips again. 

“So impolite. She doesn’t even respond when spoken 

to!” 

“I know her. She got divorced recently. She comes from an insignificant background and probably has never seen this kind of banquet before, so that’s understandable.” 

00:01 

4/9 

404 Chapit 

“Divorced? I want to hear about it. What happened?” 

The group began to gossip once more. 

At the same time, glances toward Victoria were filled with admiration. 

Previously, she would always boast outside about how much the Olsen family valued her, but in reality, people didn’t quite believe that, otherwise, Victoria and Christina would have already been married off to the scions of the other five major families. 

As it turned out, Christina wanted to marry into the Horton family but was delayed by her age. It wasn’t just because there were no suitable men of the right age in the five major families but also because of he status as an adopted daughter, which led to her being unable to marry either above or below her station, and she ultimately chose the Murphy family. 

Now it was Victoria’s turn… 

Now that they saw the Olsen family’s illegitimate daughter arranged to sit below her, people began to ingratiate themselves with Victoria, smiling as they 

anake 

09:01 

5/9 

404 Chapter 403 

“Speaking of which, Miss Victoria grew up with seven brothers, sharing bonds from childhood. Even if they are not blood-related, she’s at least better off than an illegitimate daughter, right?” 

“Of course! Today’s seating arrangement was made by James. Doesn’t that tell you something?” 

“I’m genuinely curious, this illegitimate daughter, is she James’s real sister, or Charles’s real sister?” 

James belonged to the first branch of the family. 

Charles, on the other hand, was from the second 

branch. 

Someone beside them chimed in. “Couldn’t she be 

from the third branch?” 

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. 

There was only Uncle Olsen in the third branch, and he wasn’t even married. If she were his daughter, then she would surely not be an illegitimate daughter! 

Moreover, strictly speaking, Uncle Olsen headed the Olsen family, and his lineage was the legitimate one. If she were his daughter, her status would surely be 

higher than her seven brothers! 

09:01 

6/9 

She wouldn’t possibly be sitting here! She would definitely be seated at the head table! 

Even the person who spoke smacked their lips. “I misspoke, how could that be possible?” 

“Exactly, how could she possibly be from the third branch!” 

Keira continued eating her food, completely ignoring these trivial people. 

If Uncle Olsen had called her back only to be mocked, then she might as well not acknowledge these 

relatives, so he surely wouldn’t have meant that. 

As she pondered, suddenly there was a shadow at her side. 

Keira turned her head and saw Victoria standing beside her, suddenly leaning in close to her ear. “Keera, even if you are the Olsen family’s real daughter, what of it? Do you see? Be it the brothers or the guests, they all only recognize me as the daughter of the Olsen family! You, a divorced woman who’s like a wilting flower and a fallen leaf, are nothing!” 

After saying this, she straightened up, proudly lifting 

her chin 

09:01 

7/9 

404 Chapter 403 

Keira didn’t know what to say. 

Just about after Victoria finished speaking, Ellis finally 

entered the room. 

Upon seeing them, he paused slightly. 

Ellis walked straight to Keira’s side. “Why are you sitting here?” 

Keira looked at him coolly. “Oh, it was arranged by 

James.” 

Ellis was confused. 

He frowned and turned to reprimand James. “What’s going on? Don’t you know who the guest of honor is today?” 

James came over, took hold of Ellis, and spoke in a hushed voice. “Ellis, of course. I know. It’s just that I didn’t want her to sit with our uncle, that’s all!” 

Ellis was dumbfounded. 

He felt he didn’t quite understand. “What?” 

“I’m saying, I…” 

Before James could finish, Uncle Olsen and the other 

elders finally walked in from outside. As they headed

404 Chapter 403 

to the head table, Uncle Olsen caught a glimpse of 

Keira. 

He immediately said with a smile. “Alright, I’ll keep it short. Before we eat, let me introduce everyone to my daughter, who was lost and has now returned!”

Terrible

405 Chapter 404 

Uncle Olsen’s words set off a thousand waves! 

1 

Instantly, the hall fell silent as needles dropping could be heard, and everyone incredulously turned to Keira. 

Just moments ago, at the dining table, those daughters of prominent families who had been mocking Keira were now utterly dumbfounded, each showing a look of shock on their faces. 

How could this be possible?! 

If Keira were Uncle Olsen’s daughter, why would she be sitting at the third table?! 

Next to her, James, who had been looking aggrieved and was about to complain to Ellis, was completely bewildered upon hearing this. 

What did Uncle just say? 

Keera was his who?! 

He was flabbergasted, and so was Charles, sitting at the second table; he couldn’t help but look around and whispered, “Isn’t she the sworn sister I acknowledged? How could she become Uncle’s daughter?” 

This comment made several others twitch at the corners of their mouths. 

Just then, the man who had been joking with Uncle Olsen the whole time couldn’t help but say, “Uncle Olsen, what do you mean by that? A daughter who was lost? Really? Or is she a sworn daughter?” 

Uncle Olsen smiled, looking at Keira with eyes full of affection, “Of course, she’s my biological daughter!” 

After saying that, he lowered his gaze. “Her mother and I have always been in love, but we were separated for some reason. Over these years, I didn’t know about her existence. Thankfully, I’ve now found her and brought her back!” 

After that, Uncle Olsen beckoned to Keira. “What are you doing sitting there? Come with me to greet your uncles and elders.” 

Upon hearing this, Keira’s gaze inadvertently shifted to 

James. 

She saw James standing there completely stiff. 

After catching her slightly mocking glance, he unconsciously swallowed. 

James knew he was doomed! 

How could she not be Uncle’s mistress? She was actually Uncle Olsen’s real daughter?! His own dear cousin? The little sister that the seven brothers had been longing to have for so many years?! 

James suddenly remembered his last visit to the South family, when she told him that her relationship with Uncle Olsen wasn’t what he thought… 

At this moment, he wanted to slap himself while also becoming terrified. 

If Uncle Olsen found out that he had intentionally made things difficult for Keira, he probably would break his legs! 

As James was contemplating, Keira said, “I took the wrong seat.” 

James was dumbfounded. 

Was Keera helping him? 

“Come with me then. The head table is over here!” 

How could Uncle Olsen not see the intrigue among the younger generation below? But he was pleased to see 

his daughter getting along with her brothers so he 

didn’t expose their pretense and led Keira straight to the head table. 

Keira followed him, pausing her steps slightly as she 

passed by James. She suddenly smiled, “James, may I sit at the head table?” 

James was shocked. 

Without waiting for his response, Keira took her seat next to Uncle Olsen, her actions confident and unrestrained, showing none of the timidity expected from someone of a lesser household. 

The rest of the guests immediately began whispering amongst themselves. 

“She’s actually Uncle Olsen’s daughter! What’s going 

on?” 

“I saw it with my own eyes just now; James arranged for her to sit at the third table…” 

Someone tugged at Victoria’s sleeve. She couldn’t help but turn around, and her close friend immediately asked, “Do your brothers dislike even Uncle Olsen’s daughter?” 

Victoria’s eyes flickered for a moment. “Yeah, it seems 

like the brothers don’t really like her…” 

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out from the second table when Charles exclaimed, “Damn! She’s actually my dear cousin! I, I…” 

Charles jumped up and ran to Keira with sparkles in his eyes. “Sis, it was all a big misunderstanding before! Here’s my pocket money. Take it!” 

Keira was perplexed. 

She was slightly stunned and immediately when there was a bank card in her hand. 

Next, an embarrassed yet eager James also approached, his eyes glowing as if he were looking at a 

rare treasure. 

James said, “Little, little sister…” 

He seemed embarrassed to say these words and scratched his head. “You’ve always wanted to learn the martial arts of the Freeman Sect, right? I’ll take you to join the Inner Sect tomorrow! You’re my own sister, and if the Sect Leader doesn’t accept you, I’ll have my master take you in, alright?” 

This was an apology combined with an attempt to 

ingratiate himself. 

Keira thought back to when she first met this third brother; he had mistaken her for his third aunt, 

treating her with utmost respect… 

This guy’s intentions weren’t bad. 

Keira nodded. “Then, thank you, James.” 

“You, you’re welcome…” 

James left, followed by the Olsen family’s second son, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth… 

One after another, the brothers charged up, each making a grand gesture as they started to give gifts! 

And they gave things that were highly sought-after in their respective industries! 

T 

For example, the fifth son of the Olsen family was in the entertainment industry; he simply made a grand gesture and gave Keira an entertainment company, which even housed the hottest movie star at the 

moment. 

For another example, the second son, who was a doctor, gave her a hospital outright! He claimed it was convenient for her to have her own hospital for future 

medical needs. 

Who would open a hospital just for their own convenience?! 

The grand gestures of the Olsen brothers shocked all the guests present. 

The girls at table three were even more stunned, especially the one who was speaking to Victoria; she was almost drooling. 

She couldn’t help but turn to Victoria and said, “Is this the one you said… the brothers all didn’t like?” 

Victoria was speechless. 

Wasn’t it… 

Didn’t they all dislike her just a moment ago? 

Why did they suddenly change their minds?! 

Where did it all go wrong?! 

She clenched her fists tightly, looking at Keira receiving gifts with jealousy. She knew that her personal assets, as well as the dowry prepared by the Olsen family for her, couldn’t compare to these gifts! 

The Olsen family was indeed too biased!!. 

She clenched her fists tightly and looked at James. “James, didn’t you despise her for finding a gigolo outside and dishonoring Uncle Olsen?” 

James was surprised. 

He looked at her indifferently. “What’s the big deal? Let her find one, and if it doesn’t work out, we’ll just bring the gigolo into the Olsen family. That way, she won’t have to suffer after getting married!” 

Victoria was dumbfounded. 

“You definitely didn’t say this just now!” 

As soon as James uttered those words, everyone understood even more how much the Olsen family valued this newly found daughter! 

Victoria bit her lip, then clenched her fists ever harder, feeling that at this moment, all the eyes banquet hall were on her. 

The biological daughter had been found, and her status as an adopted daughter suddenly became 

awkward. 

Not wanting to become the center of attention, Victoria flickered her eyes and suddenly turned to 

Mary, saying, “Mary, since Keera is Uncle Olsen’s daughter, she’ll be moving into the Olsen family home, right? Will you come and live with us too?” 

Her words indeed captured the attention of others. 

Everyone looked at Mary, and some whispered, “Isn’t she living in the Olsen residence now?” 

“After what happened a few days ago, does she still have the face to live there?” 

“Didn’t Austin come out to clarify everything afterward?” 

“All of that is just for show by the wealthy families. Let me tell you what I heard… The child in Mary’s belly isn’t actually Ellis’s!!” 

“What? No wonder there was such a falling out, but Mary is really bold, isn’t she? To dare to tell such a lie?” 

… 

Listening to the conversations around her, Mary 

placed a hand on her belly and subconsciously looked 

over at Ellis. 

In three more days, it would be three months, and 

then she could have amniocentesis done… 

 

406 Chapter 405 

Ellis seemed as though he hadn’t heard the gossip and rumors, but Mary noticed that his hand holding the chopsticks was slightly exerting force. 

Mary understood him. 

Ever since he was young, Ellis had been a 

troublemaker, dubbed the Demon of Clance, and his 

reputation had never been good. 

He never cared about what others thought of him. 

Now, if these words could agitate him, it was merely because he also felt embarrassed. 

A bitter smile suddenly tugged at the corners of Mary’s lips. 

She clenched her fists tightly and suddenly looked toward the third table, saying in a cold voice, “Is the food that the Olsen family prepared to entertain you all not to your taste?” 

The people at the third table who had been whispering to each other immediately shut their mouths, looking toward her in fear.

406 Chapter 405 

Mary kept her gaze fixed on them. “If it’s not to your liking, you may choose not to eat, or you may leave. The door is right there. I won’t be seeing you out.” 

Several women suddenly looked at each other, at a 

loss. 

Victoria immediately said, “Mary, what’s wrong? Has something happened? These ladies are relatives of our family, though distantly related… but after all, we share 

the same Olsen surname…” 

Mary immediately looked at her. “Are you deaf? They were just bad-mouthing me over there; did you not hear it? Is this how you protect the reputation of the Olsen family?” 

Victoria was choked by the scolding, and her face changed color on the spot. 

She clenched her fists in grievance, then looked toward Ellis and said softly, “Ellis, did I make Mary angry? I really didn’t mean to…” 

Ellis slowly raised his head. Those eyes that were 

usually commanding and condescending now revealed an unusual depth. 

He said lowly “Co ore 17ou donf2”

406 Chapter 405. 

Victoria was taken aback. 

Ellis then turned coldly toward the third table. “Since 

wife has issued an eviction order, we won’t keep 

you.” 

my 

He said deliberately and methodically, but as his words fell, his voice suddenly raised, “Why are you not leaving?!” 

The women at the table jumped in fright, shivering all 

over! 

The girl who was on good terms with Victoria was actually a distant relative of the Olsen family. Their family head at present was a trusted subordinate of Uncle Olsen, and so they held a certain status within 

the Olsen household. 

That was why their family could sit at the third table a 

an Olsen banquet. 

Under Ellis’s gaze, the young woman sheepishly stood up and said, “Ellis, my cousin, I was… I was just kidding… Dad, I really didn’t say anything!” 

Her last words were said to the main table. 

The person she spoke to was just joking with Uncle

406 Chapter 405 

Olsen a moment ago, and his name was Joseph Olsen. He was from a collateral branch of the Olsen family, but by serving Uncle Olsen and helping the Olsen Group reach greater heights, he now held a lofty position within the Olsen family. 

Upon hearing this, he couldn’t help but look toward Uncle Olsen, pleading, “Well, Mr. Olsen, my daughter has said some nonsense. I’ll teach her a lesson when 

we return home! She didn’t have any bad intentions; she just has a loose tongue… 

Uncle Olsen heard this and said nothing. 

Keira, sitting beside him, said indifferently, “Really? It seemed that your daughter was mocking me just a moment ago. Yes, that’s right. She also called me an illegitimate daughter, asking if I was from the first 

branch or the second.” 

These words made Uncle Olsen’s face instantly turn 

cold. 

Joseph’s face also paled. 

Having followed Uncle Olsen for so many years, he naturally understood where Uncle Olsen’s bottom line lay!

406 Chapter 405) 

That man was particularly defensive of his own! 

Ellis was his junior and Joseph was close to Uncle Olsen, hence his own daughter would also be considered Uncle Olsen’s junior. 

Uncle Olsen wouldn’t normally intervene in such verbal disputes. 

After all, they were all youngsters! 

But if his daughter mocked Uncle Olsen’s biological daughter… 

Joseph couldn’t help but wipe the sweat bead on his forehead, feeling as if there were thorns at his back! 

He swallowed nervously. 

Uncle Olsen looked toward him. “I need you to give me an explanation!” 

Joseph immediately stood up and, without hesitation, rushed over to his daughter, and then slapped her across the face. 

“Slap!” 

The harsh slap landed on the girl’s face, not only making an impact on her but also letting everyone

< 

406 Chapter 405 

present understand the importance Uncle Olsen placed on his daughter. 

After delivering the slap, Joseph secretly glanced at Uncle Olsen and seeing his expressionless eyes still focused on his meal. It was clear that Uncle Olsen 

wasn’t satisfied. 

Joseph immediately raised his hand again and gave his daughter another harsh slap 

The girl’s cheeks swelled up on both sides. 

She cried inconsolably and looked at her father. “Dad, why won’t you stand up for me? Why are you helping 

them?!” 

“Slap!” 

Joseph, without needing Uncle Olsen’s approval this time, slapped her face again with force! 

She was spoiled to the point of being uncontrollable! 

He angrily pointed at her and scolded, “Why are you involved in those idle chit-chat? Why did you gossip about Miss Olsen?! You’re so stupid!” 

He moved forward and kicked her! 

406 Chapter 405 

His daughter was kicked to the ground, in such pain that she couldn’t stand up. 

The entire banquet hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone watched them in disbelief. 

Nobody said anything, yet at the same time, everyone understood that this was Uncle Olsen establishing authority for his daughter. 

During the silence, the daughter lying on the ground was already consumed with rage. 

Since she dared to mock Keira, she certainly had an arrogant and domineering personality. Now furious, she broke into a torrent of abuse. “Dad, what are you doing?! If you want to be Uncle Olsen’s dog, do you expect me to be that illegitimate daughter’s lapdog too? I’m telling you. She’s not worthy!!” 

She cried while looking at Keira. “That woman is already married once and even has a child. Later, when her husband abandoned her what’s the use of her 

returning to the Olsen family? She’s nothing but a pretty object and an empty head! A second-hand woman with a child like her will never find a respectable family in the future!

“What does it matter if she’s Uncle Olsen’s biological daughter?!” 

Almost as soon as these words fell, the Olsen family butler suddenly rushed in. “Uncle Olsen, the Horton family has sent someone to propose a betrothal!!”

407 Chapter 406 

The Olsens and the Hortons were set to be joined in matrimony. That piece of news had been announced to the public for quite some time now. 

It had started a few years back when everyone thought Christina would be the one to marry into the Horton family, but unfortunately, the Hortons didn’t agree, and the matter came to nothing. 

Later, it was heard that Lewis had taken a wife, so there seemed even less hope for the marriage. 

But no one expected Lewis’s young wife to pass away so early, and suddenly the position of his wife was vacant again! 

The Olsens brought up the marriage alliance once more, and surprisingly, the Hortons did not reject it. 

Yet this affair had been gossiped about in Clance for a long time now, and so far, neither family had confirmed anything to the public. Why would they suddenly come to deliver the betrothal gifts today? 

While everyone was busy gossiping, Joseph also pulled

aside his daughter to clear the way for the butler. 

Uncle Olsen raised his eyebrows, looking toward Keira. 

Keira also showed a surprised look, her gaze turning to the butler in confusion. 

The butler’s face lit up with joy as he quickly stepped inside. “I saw them bringing over a bunch of gifts, and they are unloading them from the car. Someone tipped me off, saying these are all betrothal gifts from the Horton family, and told me to inform you first!” 

Uncle Olsen burst into laughter. “Good, that brat has finally come to his senses! Today is indeed a day of happiness!” 

The butler laughed too. “A day of happiness indeed!” 

Ellis, upon hearing this, instinctively turned his gaze to his recently acknowledged cousin Keera. 

He knew very well that Lewis had been staying at Keera’s place. Was this a move to make Keera his wife? 

He suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable. 

As glorious as his cousin Keera was today, the memory of his deceased cousin Keira was just as poignant.

407 Chapter 406 

Once upon a time, Lewis had loved Keira deeply, willing to offend Uncle Olsen for her sake… 

And now… it was no more than finding a substitute. 

He bowed his head, suddenly picked up a glass of wine, took a sip, and then turned to look at Mary, only to see her frowning slightly, her gaze shifting toward Victoria. 

Ellis then looked toward Victoria and saw her face blush with shyness, her eyes bright, yet she cast them downward. 

People around immediately turned their attention to her, teasing her. 

“Miss Victoria, I hear Mr. Horton is quite the catch; you’re really lucky with this marriage!” 

“Yes, truly! This marriage is wonderful!” 

“You and Mr. Horton really are a perfect match, and 

moreover…” 

Their voices trailed off as they suddenly looked toward Ellis, and they each lowered their voices, afraid of being overheard by him. 

“Why did Mr. Horton have to choose today of all days 

69 02 

< 

407 Chapter 406 

to deliver the betrothal gifts if not to stand by 

Victoria’s side?” 

“You know, I hadn’t realized, but now that you mention 

it, I think you’re right! Otherwise, there’s really no need to make such a grand gesture of delivering the betrothal gifts.” 

“From what the butler said, there are quite a lot of betrothal gifts, and they are still unloading them! How long will that take, I wonder?” 

“Miss Victoria, have you met Mr. Horton? What does het look like?” 

Surrounded by everyone, Victoria looked down shyly, her demeanor growing even more bashful. “I haven’t met him yet, but my family has indeed been in contact 

with him…” 

She glanced at Keira inadvertently, a smug smile curling at the corner of her lips! 

What did it matter how her brothers treated her just 

now? 

Even with all the gifts they sent, it was but a drop in the bucket for the Olsen family, but if she were to 

marry Lewis… the Horton family would be hers!

It wa 

said that the value of the Horton and Olsen family’s assets weren’t far apart, both being among the most famous merchant families in the city of Oceanion, Crera’s richest city! The Hortons surely wouldn’t be much less than the Olsen family, perhaps even stronger! 

Joseph then quietly breathed a sigh of relief. 

With this event diverting everyone’s attention, his daughter could escape any trouble for the time being. 

But just as this thought crossed his mind, he heard his daughter step forward with a loud laugh. “Keera, do you see? What does it matter if you are Uncle Olsen’s legitimate daughter? The Hortons have come over to support Victoria! Among the Olsen daughters, Victoria is surely the most successful!” 

Having recklessly finished her speech, she 

provocatively looked at Uncle Olsen. “Uncle Olsen, I can understand you favoring your own daughter, and I can even understand why you had my father hit me just now, but some things need to be said!” 

Joseph had already rushed up to grab his daughter’s arm. “Have you lost your mind?” 

< 

407 Chapter 406 

But his daughter forcefully pushed him away, “I’m not mad! Even if I don’t speak out, everyone knows very well about Keera’s sordid past! Father, don’t confuse matters here! I just have to say it, or I won’t feel 

relieved!” 

Seeing this, Joseph, enraged, reached out to cover her 

mouth! 

But in the next moment, he heard Uncle Olsen’s chilling voice. “Let her speak!” 

Joseph’s movements paused. 

Uncle Olsen then picked up his wine cup, staring at them. “I want to hear exactly how my daughter is so disgraceful!” 

Joseph, seeing Uncle Olsen’s seemingly amused expression, suddenly felt a chill run up his spine. 

He understood that his daughter was doomed… 

With this in mind, he sighed and gave Uncle Olsen a pleading look, only to see that Uncle Olsen was not paying him any attention, clearly determined to punish Joseph’s daughter and show everyone who was in charge. 

407 Chapter 406 

Joseph wiped the sweat from his forehead and hung his head in defeat. 

His daughter, oblivious to how terrible things had become, continued to sneer. “Uncle Olsen, you might not know this, but your daughter is a hopeless romantic. She married her college sweetheart and slaved away for them at home, only to be kicked to the curb three years later when he found someone new! 

Apart from her face, your daughter is completely 

useless!” 

Keira listened to these words, feeling neither pain nor irritation, but she glanced at Uncle Olsen and saw a cold aura emanating from him, his eyes heavy with killing intent.

408 Chapter 407 

Uncle Olsen looked at Keira. “What’s your view on this 

matter?” 

Keira knew that Uncle Olsen was allowing her to 

provide an explanation and statement to the public, and she slowly said, “I was blind in my youth, but now I’ve learned my lesson.” 

She scoffed and looked toward everyone, speaking indifferently. “A hero is not judged by the past, but by the future. Besides, there is a saying in Crera, ‘A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold.’ If a prodigal can return, why can’t a woman do the same?” 

Her words left everyone in a momentary stun. 

Upon regaining their senses and giving it some thought, it seemed to be indeed the case. 

It appeared that Crera was always particularly tolerant toward boys as if they only needed to learn from their mistakes to be praised. 

Joseph’s daughter immediately retorted angrily. “Women lose too much in marriage! Do you think just

408 Chapter 407 

by saying a few words like this, everyone will respect you? Ask around. Who here would want to marry you?” 

Upon hearing this, Uncle Olsen immediately scanned the people present at the scene. 

Most of those who had come today were relatives of the Olsen family. 

The Olsen family’s banquet wasn’t held on a large scale without inviting the five major families to come over, mainly because it was organized in haste. This was also one of the reasons James thought the event was too small; he had believed it was merely an introduction to their “aunt”. 

But the Olsen family had many relatives by marriage, and there were quite a few eligible bachelors prese 

At that moment, upon hearing her words, some men immediately lowered their heads, not wanting to marry a woman who was having a second marriage with a 

child. It was too troublesome! 

When those from families in less fortunate 

circumstances heard the question, their eyes gleamed slightly.

408 Chapter 407 

She was the Olsen family’s legitimate daughter. Judging by the affection Uncle Olsen showed, plus the gifts the Olsen brothers had just given to her, they could be free from worry if they married her! 

Thus, some people could hardly restrain themselves and were about to stand up. 

But just then, they suddenly felt a gaze, no, seven gazes falling upon them. A man turned his head to look and saw the seven Olsen brothers looking at him with stern expressions. 

Although they didn’t speak, their intent was very clear. 

The Olsen’s legitimate daughter couldn’t marry someone of his status! 

The man was so scared that he immediately froze. 

Those of lower status didn’t dare to move, and those of 

higher status didn’t want to move. So after Joseph’s daughter finished speaking, indeed, not a single person came forward. 

Seeing this situation, James grew anxious and immediately signaled to his friends nearby with his 

eyes. 

< 

408 Chapter 407 

Although he didn’t understand why his uncle allowed 

this woman to belittle his cousin, his cousin couldn’t be looked down upon by others! 

But his friends were facing away from him and didn’t catch his signals. 

James was speechless 

He was so anxious! 

He immediately looked at Charles, asking with his eyes, “What about your friends? Hurry up and stand up for 

our sister!” 

Charles waved his phone and returned a glance. “Sent them a WhatsApp message, but not a single one is responding! Damn them!” 

James didn’t know what to say. 

At this point, he wished he knew the art of disguise, so he could change his appearance and stand up for her! 

The rest of the brothers were equally anxious, but Ellis sat there calmly, which irritated James greatly! 

What was going on with Ellis? How could he be so indifferent toward his dear cousin? 

479 

< 

408 Chapter 407 

Unable to restrain himself, he complained, “Ellis, why aren’t you worried?” 

Ellis picked up the wine in front of him and downed it in one gulp. “What’s there to worry about? The Hortons aren’t here yet.” 

When the dowry arrived, everyone would soon know which daughter of the Olsen family was to wed into the Horton family! 

Uncle Olsen allowed Joseph’s daughter to berate Keera, and of course, it wasn’t without aim. 

Keera’s past indeed was quite scandalous to speak of. She was seen as a love-struck fool and a mother who was almost swindled out of her inheritance. When people in this circle heard of it, they wouldn’t pity her but would only think her foolish. 

Society nowadays was an impatient one. 

Even if she were to be given the status of the legitimate Olsen daughter, she would never gain everyone’s respect. 

Therefore, if she wished to establish a foothold in the 

circle, she would have to speak out and then fiercely

408 Chapter 407 

Joseph’s daughter, seeing that no one had yet stood up, immediately said, “See? Someone of high birth. would never fancy someone like her, a used woman! Keera, if you want to marry, there is indeed someone perfect for you!” 

With these words, she turned to look at Victoria. 

Victoria immediately cast down her gaze, avoiding her 

eyes. 

But she took out her phone and sent a message. Soon, footsteps were heard at the entrance. 

Then, a man and an old woman appeared there. 

It was none other than Keera’s ex-husband Howard 

and former mother-in-law! 

Victoria’s eyes twinkled slightly when she saw these 

two. 

It was a surprise she had arranged for Keera to humiliate her at the family banquet! 

When Howard and his mother were brought in, their faces were full of eager smiles, especially Howard’s mother, who had never seen such an extravagant banquet and was utterly transfixed.

They had been living rather poorly for some time. 

Before Howard’s divorce, Cindy would call her “mom” affectionately, making her very happy. But after the divorce, when Howard didn’t find another job, Cindy’s attitude changed completely. 

She would quarrel with Howard’s mother all the time, making the household miserable! 

Howard did nothing but drink and smoke all day long. 

A few days ago, Cindy couldn’t take it anymore and threatened to kick them both out of the house. 

Howard’s mother was furious and longed for the days 

when she lived with Keera. 

Back then, Keera worked tirelessly doing household chores and taking care of the children without ever troubling her, and every meal was delicious… 

Compared to those days, what condition was she living 

in now? 

Howard’s mother sighed deeply, unable to help salivating over the banquet food, barely restraining herself from rushing over to snatch something to eat. 

But there was no choice.

408 Chapter 407 

Since Cindy withheld money, the food they cooked at 

home every day tasted terrible, and sometimes they couldn’t even get enough to eat… 

During this period, she even went to the South 

residence but was stopped by the security guard and wasn’t allowed in…. 

Howard’s mother swallowed and, suppressing the urge to dash over and grab some food, followed Howard toward the main table. 

Then she saw Keira, and her eyes immediately lit up. She rushed forward, intent on grabbing Keira’s arm. “My dear daughter-in-law, I’ve finally found you! That Cindy is no good. I was wrong. I apologize! Please take me back home!” 

Keira looked at her coldly, scoffing, and instinctively glanced toward Victoria. 

Victoria’s eyes flashed with guilt immediately. 

All these actions were noticed by Uncle Olsen, who frowned and sighed inwardly. 

That adopted daughter… perhaps they shouldn’t keep her in the family anymore…

Howard was also looking at Keira.” 

He had been unable to find a job for a long time and had been drinking and smoking every day recently. Hence, he looked so haggard it was distressing. 

Ever since he learned that Keera had revived the 

company and even started cooperating with the Olsen and Davis families, he had thought about reconciling with Keera several times. 

Unfortunately, just like his mother, he was stopped by the security guard every time. 

On a few occasions, he had snuck into the 

neighborhood at night, but as he approached Keera’s house, he was suddenly knocked out and thrown 

outside. 

Fortunately, it wasn’t snowing anymore; otherwise, he could have frozen to death outside. 

But since then, he had realized that Keera must have gotten involved with some influential person, and he would never get to see her.

A few days ago, someone sought him out and told him 

that Keera was actually the illegitimate daughter of the Olsen family! 

This revelation had stunned him! 

How could that be possible? 

She was an orphan adopted by the South family. How could she have such a powerful background? 

Yet, the person had given him an address and told him 

to come today to see for himself… 

When he arrived at the entrance of the banquet, a waiter grabbed him and then let him and his mother, who lacked an invitation, in. 

Now, he was finally able to see Keera again… 

The woman in front of him was still standing tall and graceful, her face as beautiful as a flower, making him wish he could slap himself! 

How could he have ever found such a Keera boring and got lured away by others? 

He was simply blind! 

Therefore, when his mother rushed forward, trying to

make Keera reconsider, he didn’t stop her; he also 

wanted to remarry Keera! 

But to his surprise, his mother hadn’t even touched a hair on Keera’s head when she was immediately grabbed by bodyguards who came from nowhere. 

Two bodyguards stood in front of Keera, looking 

toward him. 

It seemed that if he dared to make any move, they would act immediately. 

The bodyguards emanated a deadly aura, and they 

were people Howard wouldn’t have dared to even look at in the past… and now they were here protecting 

Keera… 

Howard smiled ingratiatingly. “Keera, it’s me. Would you let me come over and have a proper talk with 

you?” 

Keira just gave a cold smile, not saying anything. 

Howard’s mother continued. “Keera, you can’t just ignore your mother. I can’t get enough food or clothing living in Cindy’s house. I am your mother, and you have to take care of me!”

409 Chapter 408. 

Keira replied with just one sentence. “I am divorced. How are you my mother?” 

Howard’s mother suddenly yelled, “Oh, so now that you’ve climbed the social ladder, you want to disown us? We’ll go to Amy, then. I’m Amy’s grandmother, and this is Amy’s father. She has a duty to provide for us!” 

Keira only found Howard’s mother shameless. 

She scoffed. “Amy is only three years old. You want her to provide for you? Sure, why don’t you try to live until she’s eighteen and can be independent!” 

Howard’s mother was shocked. 

She struggled, trying to break free from the bodyguard to give Keera a good scolding, and immediately sa “Keera, don’t go too far! We have come back to giv you a chance! You should be satisfied now! Make th bodyguards let us go so that we can take our seats at the banquet!” 

Then she looked toward Uncle Olsen. “Dear in-law, we’re family!” 

Uncle Olsen was speechless. 

He simply couldn’t bear to watch.

He really didn’t know how Keera usually dealt with these two people… 

He lowered his eyes, hiding the anger in his heart. 

The real Keera had died, and he didn’t know what exactly had happened or why Keera had died under the name of Keira, and Keira was living under the 

name of Keera… 

But he knew that these two bastards had bullied his deceased daughter! 

Even the humbled life his daughter once lived was because of them. 

Yet, perversely, they were indeed the grandmother and father of his daughter’s child, and they were going to ruthlessly exploit Amy in the future… 

If that was the case, then they didn’t need to be alive after today! 

A murderous intent began to rise in Uncle Olsen’s 

chest. 

Howard and his mother, however, failed to read his expression, only thinking that this high and mighty man hadn’t spoken because he might be tacitly

approving their actions. 

Howard immediately turned to Keira. “Keera, I know I was wrong. I’ll break up with Cindy and come home with you!” 

Keira found it laughable. 

Victoria then said, “Keera, they are Amy’s father and grandmother, after all. You…! 

“Shut up!” 

Victoria’s words were not yet finished when James and Charles jumped up, angrily staring at her. 

Victoria immediately became aggrieved, and with a pitiful expression, she said, “I… I was just thinking th in Crera, people encourage reconciliation rather tha separation. There’s a saying, ‘It is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy one marriage. So I…” 

“That’s for others. Does this man deserve that 

consideration?” 

James frowned and rebuked 

How could they let that happen when Keera had finally stopped doing stupid things for love?

Victoria dared not speak further, lest her intent become too obvious and be discovered…. 

Joseph’s daughter, however, let out a cold laugh. “Keera, Howard has merely made a mistake that any man could make. Why did he cheat on you? You should look for reasons within yourself. Are you not good enough? Is that why you couldn’t keep your husband?” 

Keira didn’t say anything. 

Howard then knelt on the ground. “Keera, I’ve realized my mistake. Please forgive me! Can’t we go back to being the happy family of three we once were? I promise, if we remarry, I’ll take good care of you and Amy…” 

Listening to these words, a faint light flickered in 

Keira’s eyes. 

“Sister, can you hear this? 

“This scumbag has admitted his faults. 

“If it were you, would you forgive him?” 

At the thought, Keira began to laugh, a sense of relief washing over her.

Keera wouldn’t. 

She had never been infatuated with him. She had only 

married him to use that useless facade to deceive the 

South family, in hopes of gaining her freedom. 

Keira said, “Get lost!” 

At these words, Uncle Olsen waved his hand, and bodyguards stepped forward, grabbing hold of Howard 

and his mother. 

The two of them suddenly shouted. 

“Keera, if you throw us out, who are you planning to 

marry?” 

“Guys, listen! Keera is second-hand goods I’ve been with. I’m such trash; do you really want to pick up what I’ve discarded?” 

Howard was like a madman, completely disregarding the setting. 

He knew that the moment Keera remarried, he would lose all opportunities. 

He was playing the scoundrel now and would later coax Amy. He believed he still had a chance!

Joseph’s daughter also sneered with a swollen face. “Keera, I think you should give him another chance. Remarry him! After all, besides Howard, no one else would marry you!!” 

Almost immediately after these words were uttered, a voice suddenly came from the entrance. “Who says no one would marry Miss Olsen?!” 

With that, the Horton family’s betrothal gifts finally 

made their entrance!!
