Chapter 317
Mr. Olsen frowned, unable to understand. He asked, “Your sister has been wronged. You can’t just
ignore it, can you?” a
Ellis’ mother hurriedly said, “Is it because you are too busy? Recently, Ellis has been helping Sam
manage the company… Let’s not distract him p>
Mr. Olsen nodded, and then he said, “That young Miss Davis is from the Davis family, and we have to
show the Davis family some respect and let it be. But the one called Keera, she’s too arrogant. She
must pay a price
for this p>
Christina’s face lit up when she heard this.
She was about to say something when Ellis said, “You are not to touch Keera p>
These words brought a moment of silence to the room.
Mr. and Mrs. Olsen looked at him, puzzled.
Christina was also taken aback and carefully asked, “Ellis, is it because of Mary? Do you really have
feelings
for her p>
Ellis was now feeling irritated whenever he heard the
name Mary.
He scoffed coldly, tugged at his tie, and then said, “No p>
The fact that Keera was Uncle Olsen’s daughter was something he hadn’t yet told Uncle Olsen. What if
Uncle Olsen didn’t want to acknowledge his daughter?
Ellis didn’t give a reason and simply issued an order.
Because Mary was mentioned, he didn’t bother to say more to them and went straight upstairs.
Ellis, as the successor to the head of the Olsen family, naturally held a different status at home, and his
presence made the three of them fall silent for a moment.
It wasn’t until he disappeared into the corridor that his parents came back to their senses.
Ellis’ mother immediately said, “Ellis’ mood seems off today… Christina, what were you saying about
Mary just now? Could Ellis really have taken a fancy to that girl p>
She seemed a bit excited. “Ellis has been so clueless
when it comes to relationships all these years, and he’s almost 28 now. If he really has taken a liking to
her, we need to prepare and let them get married quickly p>
Upon hearing this, Mr. Olsen immediately nodded. “That Mary girl is quite pretty, even though her
reputation isn’t too good, but as for the young people’s affairs, we should respect them p>
As the two talked and laughed, Christina’s face gradually darkened.
She clenched her fists tightly. “Dad, Mom, that Keera p>
Ellis’ mother immediately interrupted her. “Christina, since there’s a relationship between Mary and
your brother, and Keera is Mary’s close friend, there might be some misunderstanding. Let’s listen to
your br and just let it go this time p>
Christina tightened her jaw.
Mr. Olsen also looked at her. “Yes, your big brother’s marriage is more important. The conflict between
you young girls shouldn’t be blown out of proportion… Let’s just let bygones be bygones p>
Ellis’ mother stood up. “Hey, I wonder if I can prepare
that heirloom bracelet a bit earlier? Where did I put it? Dear, come help me look for it p>
Mr. Olsen followed her lead, gesturing to Christina. “Christina, stay for dinner before going back…
Honey, what do you think? How much dowry should we give to that Davis girl p>
The two of them chatted as they went upstairs, looking
excited.
Christina watched them leave, her eyes revealing a hint
of malice.
Look at that…
After all, she’s an adopted daughter, not their own flesh and blood. She was beaten, yet her parents
chose to let her yield!
And they never call her Tina or some other nickname. Every time they addressed her, it was always
Christina…
Christina, Christina… It annoyed her so much!
Would she be treated this way if she were their
biological daughter?
Furious, Christina turned and left the house.
As soon as she reached the car, an assistant came up to her with a file. “Miss, here is Keera’s
information…
She has kept a low profile for so many years without many friends p>
Upon hearing this, Christina narrowed her eyes.
She couldn’t touch Mary, but when it came to Keera, Christina had to regain her footing there.
Otherwise, if word got out, how could she, the heiress, maintain her position in the Olsen family? Would
just anyone be able to bully her?
Christina carefully examined Keera’s personal information. Indeed, there was no blackmail mater
on her. Suddenly, she saw something and a cold sm appeared on her face.
Keira had just arrived at the South family villa.
Lewis parked the car, and both of them got out. As they approached the entrance, they saw Lewis’s
assistant holding a suitcase, standing at the door.
Keira was slightly taken aback and looked at Lewis.
“Are you going on a business trip p>
“No,” came the deep, light reply from Lewis.
Keira then asked, “Then what is this p>
The assistant handed the suitcase to Lewis. “Mr. Horton, I’ve packed your daily necessities p>
Lewis nodded, picked up the suitcase, and entered the villa.
Keira finally understood his intention and, with a mix of laughter and tears, followed him inside. “Hold
on, are you seriously planning to live here from now on p>
“Yes,” Lewis answered without hesitation.
Keira shook her head ruefully and saw the housekeeper come out, looking at her with an indescribable
expression. “Miss South p>
Keira raised an eyebrow. “What is it p>
The maid glanced upstairs. Before she could speak, Lewis’s assistant blurted out, “Mr. Horton, as per
your
instructions, I’ve already changed the master
bedroom’s bed and bedding to brand new ones p>
Keira was dumbfounded.
She looked at Lewis doubtfully and heard the man explain lightly, “I don’t want to sleep in a bed that
others have slept in p>
Keira immediately understood.
That was the bed Keera and Howard had shared. She too hadn’t been comfortable sleeping in it when
she first arrived.
At that time, it hadn’t been convenient for her to make changes, so she just replaced it with a brand-
new set of linens. This man, on the other hand, was more decisive. He switched out the entire bed.
Keira and Lewis went upstairs to the bedroom to lo at the bed, and Lewis opened the suitcase and
starte putting his things away in the closet.
As he organized his clothes, he disdainfully threw out the garments that Howard had not worn, which
were in the closet, and instructed his assistant, “Trash
should stay in the trashcan p>
Keira remained silent.
When she divorced Howard, she’d already packed up
and thrown out all of Howard’s belongings. The items here were just some unused men’s daily
necessities… Could this man truly not even tolerate that?
Keira shook her head. She found his behavior of marking territory childish but didn’t stop him.
It was quite an accomplishment that Lewis had restrained himself from coming to see her for a month
and hadn’t disrupted her plans.
She let Lewis do as he pleased with the master bedroom; even if he tore it down and remodeled it, it
would be fine. She could live in the study.
She picked up the diary she’d found under the tree yesterday and began to read through it.
Upon seeing the contents on the first page, Keira’s pupils constricted!
Indeed, this notebook contained Keera’s secrets!
The date on the first page was from ten years ago, and
the content read p>
