Chapter 389: Chapter 388 Chapter 389: Chapter 388 The Sect Leader now simply couldn’t hear the words “Big Sister” without uncontrollable tears streaming down her face.
Elder Grant:?
He was stunned for a moment. “Sect Leader, what’s wrong with you p>
The Sect Leader wiped her tears and pointed at the cushion in front of her, “Go ahead, it’s nothing, I might just have had an eye stroke p>
Elder Grant: p>
Elder Grant sat down in front of the Sect Leader, and then, upon seeing that the Sect Leader had calmed down a bit and stopped crying, he began to say, “Our Outer Sect Disciple, there’s a girl who didn’t show much during her Bone Assessment as a child. She came to line up again yesterday, and her physique, it’s as if she’s trained in Child Kung Fu. Sect Leader, I think she might not be inferior to Big Sister. Do you want to take a look p>
As these words were spoken, he looked up to see the Sect Leader crying “whoosh, whoosh, whoosh” again.
Elder Grant: p>
He couldn’t help asking, “Sect Leader, are you really alright p>
The Sect Leader, choking back tears, managed to say, “I’m fine, I’m fine p>
Elder Grant continued, “I haven’t done a Bone Assessment on an adult before, so my judgment might not be accurate. Sect Leader, with your keen eye, you recognized Big Sister’s uniqueness, you will surely be able to recognize her too… No, Sect Leader, why are you crying again? Shouldn’t we go to the hospital to check this out p>
“Wuuu… No need… Wuuu…,” she sobbed.
The Sect Leader’s voice was choked with sobs, “I’ve been feeling… wuuu… unwell lately… wuuu, have her compete in the Outer Sect contest, and if she can enter the Inner Sect, I’ll go see her then… wuuu wuuu p>
Elder Grant: “… All right, then, Sect Leader, I’ll take my leave, you should rest well p>
The Sect Leader breathed a sigh of relief, about to nod her head, when she heard Elder Grant add, “Even if not for yourself, think about Big Sister too. Big Sister is coming back soon, and if she sees you like this, she’ll definitely feel heartbroken p>
Sect Leader: “…Wuuu wuuu wuuu, just go p>
Elder Grant finally breathed a sigh of relief once he had left the room.
The Freeman Sect would never miss out on any child with talent; that was the mission of his Bone Assessment Hall!
After feeling that something was off with Keera’s strange constitution yesterday, he worried about missing out on this good seedling, hence his visit to the Sect Leader today.
It shouldn’t be hard for that physique to enter the Inner Sect. At the very least, she could place third.
Let the Sect Leader take a look at her when the time comes!
Jackson Gill was heading towards the Disciplinary Hall when, halfway there, he ran into James Olsen.
James Olsen had just been selecting people, and the screening had been particularly strict today; he had simply given chances to the Outer Sect Disciples. Many who had heard the buzz and had not initially signed up rushed over.
He was so frightened that he quickly dumped the ensuing mess on his Third Junior Brother and turned his head, only to hear that something had happened to Keera!
James Olsen immediately rushed over and, sure enough, saw Jackson Gill approaching the Disciplinary Hall. He went up to him and blocked his way.
Jackson Gill looked at James Olsen and respectfully said, “Second Senior Brother p>
James Olsen always acted directly, and although the Gill family was one of the Five Great Families, in the Freeman Sect, they never looked at one’s family background, only at martial arts rankings!
Therefore, James Olsen could almost do as he pleased in the Freeman Sect. He directly ordered, “Keera is under my protection. From now on, bother her less p>
Although he disliked Keera for having a gigolo and felt sorry for his uncle, since his uncle was going to hold a family recognition banquet in four days, Keera could not be allowed to have any blemishes.
Upon hearing this, Jackson Gill immediately frowned and looked around, saying, “Second Senior Brother, you haven’t taken a liking to her, have you p>
James Olsen scolded him right away, “Don’t spout nonsense. She’s my third… In any case, don’t provoke her! You’re not allowed to go to the Disciplinary Hall. Even if you do go, I’ll say it was me who told her to hit you. I’d like to see what you’ll do then p>
Jackson Gill promptly bowed his head, “Second Senior Brother, I will comply p>
Only then did James Olsen leave.
However, once he was gone, Jackson Gill raised his head, his eyes revealing a vicious gleam. He touched his own neck.
The pain lingered, as if it was about to tear apart.
This vengeance could not go unrequited!
A hint of mockery flashed in Jackson Gill’s eyes.
After winning the competition today, Keira Olsen confirmed the schedule for the next few days with Matias Gill and then left the venue with Lewis Horton, returning home.
Yet, she had hardly reached her doorstep when she received a call from Matias Gill.
Matias directly said, “Keera, that Jackson Gill is just too malicious. Right after you left, he started spreading rumors about you in the Freeman Sect, saying that you, that you p>
The words that followed were too unpleasant for Matias to even voice.
Keira Olsen snorted coldly, “What about me p>
With a sigh, Matias Gill said, “He’s saying you’re promiscuous, that you and your best friend Mary Davis are nothing but prostitutes, that his brother Austin Gill slept with Mary, and he slept with you p>
Keira Olsen’s pupils suddenly constricted.
She hadn’t expected that this matter would also drag Mary Davis into it.
As for Mary… the origin of that child was already unclear and murky, wasn’t spreading this kind of rumor akin to a ruthless assassination?
How was Mary Davis supposed to live her days?
Keira Olsen’s face instantly turned dark, and she turned to Lewis Horton, furiously demanding, “Go find Austin Gill p>
She had to make Austin Gill quash this rumor!
Meanwhile, at the Olsens p>
Mary Davis was unaware of the gossip circulating outside. She had just come downstairs from her bedroom, ready to join her family for dinner.
Today was the Olsen family’s family banquet.
Every Tuesday, members of the Olsen family’s third branch would gather for a meal.
As Mary Davis descended the stairs, she noticed the hostile, even antagonistic looks she received from James Olsen and a few other brothers.
Frowning, she was unaware of what had transpired.
Everyone was sitting on the sofa, waiting for the family elders to arrive.
Seeing that the spot usually occupied by Christina Olsen was empty, Victoria Olsen felt a sense of crisis herself.
Suddenly, she spoke up, “Sister-in-law, do you know Austin Gill p>
This question made Mary Davis furrow her brows and think carefully, “I suppose I do. I’ve discussed a partnership with him before, and the Davis Corporation has business dealings with the Gill family p>
Victoria Olsen said sarcastically, “So it was really you who went to discuss the partnership p>
Mary Davis was taken aback, unsure of what she meant, “Yes p>
Many of the Davis Corporation’s partnerships were deals that her great-uncle liked to involve her in.
She knew what her great-uncle was up to, but for the sake of her parents back home, she had to accompany him despite her reluctance.
But as soon as she finished speaking, James Olsen slammed his teacup down hard on the coffee table!
“Snap p>
Water splashed from the cup as James Olsen abruptly turned to Mary Davis, “Sister-in-law, how could you so confidently say ‘Yes’? Are you being fair to my older brother p>
Mary Davis was puzzled.
Victoria Olsen then handed her a phone, “This has been circulating in our circles today; it’s full of your little essays with Austin Gill. The details are quite vivid, sister-in-law. I think you owe our Olsen family an explanation p>
