Chapter 533: Chapter 532 Chapter 533: Chapter 532 Keira Olsen’s calm words quickly erased the smug look on Susan Simpson’s face.
Her pupils contracted as she looked at Keira in shock: “What do you mean p>
Keira pushed her away, took a step forward, and addressed the firefighters: “Has the temperature dropped? Can we go in for the rescue now p>
The firefighters were bewildered: “Our team has been inside trying to rescue people for a while now, but they haven’t been able to locate them p>
Keira then suggested: “Check the basement. There’s a safety room there; the two of them should be inside p>
The firefighter hesitated for a moment, then joyfully responded: “Okay, I’ll have my colleagues go and rescue them now p>
After the firefighter rushed in, everyone turned their attention to Keira.
James Olsen and Charles Olsen couldn’t help but ask: “What do you mean p>
Keira calmly replied: “I just took some minor safety precautions p>
As she said this, she glanced at Susan Simpson.
Ever since she learned that Fox had arrived in Crera to sabotage her, she and Lewis Horton had rehearsed numerous scenarios in which Fox might attempt to ruin her relationship with the Five Great Families.
At the Gill family, Nara Gill had already implemented safety measures. Lewis Horton had assigned people to protect Nara Gill, and they would be on alert if any strangers approached.
They had indeed not anticipated that Fox would take such a major detour and target Gary, which nearly resulted in Nara Gill’s death at Mrs. Spencer’s hands.
But everyone else could be bypassed, except for Mary Davis.
The relationship between Mary Davis and Ellis Olsen, once reconciled, would once again solidify the alliance between the Davis Family and the Olsen Family, ensuring that her relationship with her own family wouldn’t be damaged.
Therefore, if murder was an option, Fox would definitely try every means to kill Mary Davis, as only her death could thwart any reconciliation between the Olsen Family and the Davis Family…
Because of this, Keira had long instructed Mary Davis not to go anywhere but home.
Moreover, her room had a secret passage leading directly to the basement.
This passage was not Keira’s doing; rather, she had read about it in her sister’s diary… Not knowing what horrors her sister had endured, she found that secret passages had been arranged in the master bedroom, children’s room, and the guest room where Mary Davis stayed.
Once in the underground safe room, neither fire nor flood could affect the people inside.
The only downside was the need for timely rescue, otherwise the air would run out and the person would still perish.
Of course, this drawback had no effect at this very moment.
After all, Keera had placed enough oxygen and food for two people for three days inside the safety room.
Keira had already taught Mary Davis how to get to the safety room, so if Ellis Olsen had rushed in as soon as the fire started, he would surely have entered the safe room with Mary Davis.
In contrast, if Ellis Olsen had gone in, that would have been the real danger.
But both the firefighters and the nanny had said that Ellis Olsen had gone in quickly…
While Keira was thinking, the voice came through the firefighter’s headset: “We found them, both are safe! They are being brought out now p>
The firefighter immediately reported this good news to everyone.
James Olsen quickly wiped the corner of his eyes with his sleeve, complaining: “Sis, really! If you knew big brother would be fine, why didn’t you say so earlier? You had me worried sick p>
At this remark, his elder brother glared at him: “Mind your language in front of your sister p>
Charles Olsen then interjected: “I told you, our cousin isn’t heartless or cold-blooded. You were neither anxious nor crying; turns out you knew they would be safe p>
James Olsen immediately looked at Peter Olsen and scolded: “What are you standing around for? Apologize to your sister right now p>
Peter Olsen, appearing awkward, glanced at Keira and somewhat grudgingly complained: “Why didn’t you say so earlier? I too was… overly concerned and confused p>
Keira did not respond to Peter Olsen’s words but instead looked at Susan Simpson: “Mary Davis and big brother are fine, aren’t you disappointed p>
This statement made everyone turn their gaze to Susan Simpson.
Susan’s eyes flickered, and she quickly lowered them: “Sister, how could you say that? I just misspoke in a moment of urgency, not knowing that big brother and his wife were safe… Sorry, I wrongly accused you p>
After she finished, fearing disbelief from others, she looked at Peter Olsen: “Peter, I really had no idea. I just saw that sister didn’t seem worried at all and thought she didn’t care about you, so I spoke without thinking p>
Peter Olsen clenched his jaw.
James Olsen scoffed: “You sure had a lot of ‘misspeaking’ today p>
Susan Simpson choked up.
James Olsen rolled his eyes: “Sis saying you were messing around with someone else, we initially didn’t believe it. After all, sis had no proof, and we didn’t want to suspect you, but you kept incriminating yourself time and again… Peter, are you sure she’s not a problem p>
Peter Olsen, upon hearing this, looked dubiously at Susan Simpson.
Had he not been reminded, he indeed hadn’t noticed that from the beginning, Susan Simpson had been trying to stir things up against Keira.
He tensed his jaw.
