Chapter 683
James Olsen looked full of concern, constantly watching Keira Olsen’s expression as he spoke, afraid that she might be unhappy.
Seeing that Keira Olsen’s face was expressionless, he coughed and spoke again: “Cousin, if you really don’t want to apologize, let’s pretend nothing happened. Everyone has a short memory anyway, I guess this will be over in a few days p>
Keira Olsen waved her hand, too lazy to speak, and turned around to head back to the Horton Family’s home.
But just as she turned, she saw Marisa Walsh and Selena Horton ducking sneakily, clearly having been spying on her, causing Keira Olsen to frown and sigh.
She and Uncle Olsen and her master were talking at a distance, those two definitely didn’t hear anything.
However, seeing the scrutinizing look from Selena Horton, it was certain she suspected something.
Keira Olsen directly addressed James Olsen, suddenly raising her voice: “Do you also think that I’ve brought shame to the family? You want me to apologize? Let me tell you, that’s impossible p>
James Olsen: p>
He looked at Keira Olsen confusedly and hesitantly said, “No, cousin, what I meant was p>
Before he could finish, Keira Olsen cut him off again: “I was born into a lesser family and I don’t understand the sacrifices your prestigious families make for gain. All I know is that Holly Sims is my friend, and I have a duty to help her with her affairs p>
James Olsen: p>
He was even more baffled: “Cousin, what are you talking about? I p>
“Enough, I will not apologize for this, even if my dad and my master come, I still won’t apologize! Since you’ve already disowned me, why bother with me anymore p>
Leaving behind those words, Keira Olsen turned and entered the door, and with a “bang,” she slammed the small iron gate shut.
James Olsen: p>
James Olsen exchanged a look with Charles Olsen, inquiring: “What’s gotten into our cousin p>
Charles Olsen was equally puzzled: “No idea p>
While they were still confused, a “crack” sound of someone cracking sunflower seeds came through, and they both turned around to see Erin South Martin approaching.
She walked over while munching on the seeds and arrived in front of Charles Olsen, a smile on her lips as she said, “You guys are so clueless, can’t you even see this p>
James Olsen and Charles Olsen immediately asked, “What exactly is going on p>
Erin South Martin: “Keera’s got her period and is in a bad mood; you guys just caught the brunt of it p>
James Olsen: p>
Charles Olsen: p>
Erin South Martin patted their shoulders: “Alright, hurry home now, there’s nothing to worry about! I’m going in p>
After saying that, she walked around them, approached the iron gate, and knocked on the door. As soon as the security guard opened the door and saw her, he immediately smiled: “Miss Martin, please come in p>
Erin South Martin nodded her head and then handed a handful of seeds to the security guard: “Brother guard, thanks for your hard work p>
Her sweet-talking was like a breath of fresh spring breeze.
Ahead, Keira Olsen ignored Erin South Martin’s demonstration of personal charm and frowned at Selena Horton and Marisa Walsh.
Selena Horton looked Keira Olsen up and down and spoke, “Little aunt, don’t be offended by my blunt words, but the way you’re acting is really bringing shame to our family. You’re discarded by the Olsen Family and the Freeman Sect, and if you don’t change, soon even the Horton Family won’t want you either p>
Marisa Walsh nodded in agreement: “Yeah, a married woman follows her husband’s family. You should listen to Lewis more and consider the Horton Family’s interests. Now that you’re no longer Miss Olsen, you should think more about your own future situation p>
Keira Olsen raised an eyebrow, about to reply, when a voice came from behind: “I heard that women used to bind their feet in the past, right? Now they’ve stopped binding feet and started binding brains p>
These words made Marisa Walsh’s face turn stiff.
Keira Olsen turned her head to see Erin South Martin standing beside her, continuing to eat sunflower seeds as she said, “Tsk, tsk, with your good-for-nothing look, you can only be a mistress, all timid with no sense of self, truly shameful! If you want to be a housewife, then go be one by yourself, don’t stand here and bother others p>
After Erin South Martin finished, she stepped forward and pushed past Marisa Walsh and Selena Horton.
Seeing this, Keira Olsen curled the corner of her lips and followed behind Erin South Martin.
She realized that Erin South Martin was incredibly lively, sweet-talking but also delightfully confrontational, and with her around, Keira herself didn’t even need to speak.
The two of them bypassed Selena Horton and Marisa Walsh and returned to Old Mrs. Horton’s room.
Three days later, late at night.
Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton put on their night clothes, ready to leave the house.
Lewis Horton spoke in a low voice, “Tonight Professor Brandt plans to smuggle himself over. I’m worried and want to go assist p>
If it fails, Professor Brandt’s return trip to his home country could be delayed indefinitely, meaning Keira Olsen’s chance to clear her name might be a long wait away.
So Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton decided to go over tonight.
As the two of them stepped out the door, they saw Erin South Martin standing there, smiling cheerily: “Heading out? Take me with you p>
