Chapter 504 - 503

Chapter 503

….

Keira stared at the third task, her fists clenched tightly.

She suddenly turned to look at Lewis in the distance, then looked down at the third task again with a flash of anger in her eyes.

Austin was confused. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.”

After Keira said that, she took a deep breath and lowered her gaze.

There was no way she could complete the third task… But if she didn’t complete it, how could she save her mother?

Feeling inexplicably irritated, she simply walked to the side, her gaze falling on Lewis again with a hint of contemplation.

The third task…

As she was pondering, suddenly, everything before her dimmed.

A delicate voice said, “Keira, you seem a bit unhappy. Is there something on your mind?”

Keira looked up to see Susan.

She frowned and her lips tensed. “It’s none of your business.”

Keira was already in a bad mood, and seeing this woman made her tone even harsher.

Susan said, “Keira, I want to talk to you.”

“I have nothing to talk to you about.”

Keira remained cold, indifferently finishing her sentence before turning to walk away.

But Susan blocked her path again. “Keira, I just want to make peace with you. I misunderstood you earlier, but I think you also have some misunderstanding about me. That day in the parking lot, the person you saw definitely wasn’t me. I hope you…”

Keira suddenly looked up at her, her eyes glinting sharply, “You think I’m blind?”

She might have played along with Susan in the past, but now she was in no mood for games!

Susan’s expression stiffened.

Keira, with a cold face and silence, looked quite intimidating.

Susan knew that Keira wasn’t someone to be trifled with, but turning to look at Peter in the distance, who was watching them, a resentful glint flashed in her eyes.

She had come over purposely to mend their relationship, having seen the Olsen family’s favoritism toward Keira.

To prevent Peter from treating her poorly, Susan had deliberately acted affectionately to ingratiate herself.

If she couldn’t win Keira over, then…

Susan suddenly grabbed Keira’s arm. “Keira, you really were mistaken. That wasn’t me. Yesterday at the mall, I saw someone wearing the same clothes as me… So, can you please stop ruining my reputation?”

Keira scoffed and gently pushed her hand away. “Firstly, I haven’t slandered your reputation publicly, and secondly, that’s my brother, so I definitely won’t turn a blind eye to what you’ve done!”

After saying this, she walked past Susan to find Lewis.

The third task was related to Lewis, and she needed to clear things up with him.

But before she could get there, Susan stumbled and fell to the ground with a yelp.

Keira was surprised.

She looked back at Susan, puzzled. Peter then rushed over and helped Susan to her feet. “Susan, are you all right?”

Susan said, “I’m fine, Peter. Don’t blame Keira. She didn’t mean to push me…”

Then she lowered her head, pretending to cry, and looked toward Keira. “Keira, I know you don’t like me, and my background isn’t worthy of Peter, but he and I truly love each other. Peter said that the Olsen family doesn’t care about background, so can you stop opposing us?”

Keira was perplexed.

At that moment, she felt like swearing a thousand times over.

Which ancient romantic novel did Susan think she lived in?

And this scenario! Wasn’t this something those evil supporting characters in TV dramas often did?

Keira’s lips twitched, and she pointed to the nearby video camera. “Susan, don’t you know? These large banquet halls have surveillance. Are you trying to frame me for pushing you? Let’s review the surveillance footage, shall we?”

Susan’s face stiffened.

She immediately looked at Peter. “Peter, I didn’t mean that. Keira didn’t push me. She just gave me a little shove. I lost my balance on my own.”

Keira thought Susan was finally willing to tell the truth.

But to her surprise, Peter frowned at her. “Keira, how could you treat Susan like that?”

Keira was dumbfounded.

Peter sighed. “I know you don’t like her. From the first time you saw her, you’ve had prejudices against her, but…”

At this point, Peter seemed reluctant to say something too harsh, so he just closed his mouth. Then he helped Susan up. “Let’s forget about it for now. We’ll talk when we get back home.”

Without looking at Keira, he said to Susan, “Susan, let’s go.”

“Okay.”

As Susan walked away, she said, “Peter, Keira didn’t push me, so don’t be mad because of this, and don’t distance yourself from Keira… It’s all my fault…”

Keira didn’t know what to say.

Was Peter an idiot? Did he believe Susan just like that?

She rolled her eyes.

Then, a low chuckle rang out in her ear. “Your brother seems to have left his brain at home.”

“Well said.”

Keira looked at Lewis with words on the tip of her tongue.

Lewis asked, “What’s happened?”

He sensed something. “Has the South family sent you a message with a task?”

Keira nodded, took out her phone, and handed it over for him to see.
