Chapter 405 - 404

Chapter 404

Uncle Olsen’s words seemed to set off a thousand waves!

….

Instantly, the hall fell so silent that one could hear a dropping needle, and everyone incredulously turned to “Keera”.

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

How could this be possible?!

If “Keera” 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 utterly bewildered upon hearing this.

What did Uncle Olsen just say?

Keera was his who?!

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

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

After saying that, he lowered his gaze. “Her mother and I were 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 other elders.”

Upon hearing this, Keira inadvertently shifted her gaze to James.

She saw James stiffen.

After catching her slightly mocking glance, he unconsciously swallowed.

James knew he was doomed!

How could she not be Uncle Olsen’s mistress? She was actually Uncle Olsen’s real daughter?! She was his dear cousin and 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 residence when she told him that her relationship with Uncle Olsen wasn’t what he thought…

Right now, he wanted to slap himself while also becoming terrified.

If Uncle Olsen found out that he had intentionally made things difficult for Keera, Uncle Olsen would probably 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 little interactions among the younger generation? 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 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 were 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 Uncle Olsen’s daughter?”

Victoria’s eyes flickered for a moment. “Yeah, it seems like my brothers don’t really like her…”

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out from the second table. Charles exclaimed, “Damn it! 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! Here’s my pocket money. Take it!”

Keira was perplexed.

She was slightly stunned and immediately, 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 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’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!

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 even harder, feeling that at this moment, all the eyes in the 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 Keira 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 they could finally do the amniocentesis to determine the truth.
