Chapter 527

Keira lowered her gaze. “Don’t bother considering my opinion.”

….

There was still time before the wedding, and she would eventually find evidence of Susan and her boyfriend, which Keira could then throw in Peter’s face, avoiding a fallout.

Susan immediately said, “So, little sister, does this mean you don’t object?”

“That’s great! We can finally be together!” Peter was also affected by Susan. He embraced Susan and spun her around.

Everyone present felt the happiness exuding from the couple.

But Susan paused slightly before smiling at Keira. “Little sister, thank you for your blessing. However…”

She sighed softly. “Thinking of how soon I’ll be with my fiancé reminds me of Ellis… Mary has been away from him for so long. When exactly is she planning to reconcile with him?”

At those words, everyone’s gaze turned to Keira.

Everyone saw Ellis’s silent demeanor at home each day, and everyone was very concerned about this matter.

Keira said, “I don’t know.”

Susan feigned surprise. “Little sister, how could you not know? Isn’t Mary staying at your house?”

After saying this, she said earnestly, “They say a best friend’s words are the most persuasive. Since your sister-in-law is staying at your place, why don’t you speak well of Ellis and help the two of them reconcile? The couple surely still have feelings for each other, so couldn’t they make up?”

Keira looked at her indifferently. “If Mary is unwilling to forgive Ellis, what can I do?”

Susan said, “I heard that Mary had a falling out with the Davis family. Why don’t you kick her out of your house? That way, she’ll have nowhere to go but back to Ellis, and they’ll have to reconcile.”

Upon hearing this, Keira sneered, finding Susan downright disgusting.

She lowered her gaze. “You needn’t worry about my affairs.”

Susan immediately looked at Peter and seemed hurt. “Did I speak out of turn?”

Peter said, “Mary just had a miscarriage. She’s not in good health. How can you expect Keera to throw her out?”

Susan quickly said, “Ah, right, I didn’t think it through. Sorry, but I’m just worried for Ellis. Hearing you talk about how hard his life is every day, I just wanted to help and suggest a solution. We’re all family. If we don’t care for his well-being, should we care about an outsider instead?”

That made Keira feel very uncomfortable. Wasn’t Keira the one looking after Mary, an “outsider”?

It was another roundabout accusation against her.

Sure enough, several other brothers glanced surreptitiously at Keira with a hint of dissatisfaction in their eyes, but none of them spoke out.

Susan, seemingly oblivious to the change in the room’s atmosphere, sighed again. “I remember when Mary got married, the Davis family provided a large dowry. Sadly, my family isn’t wealthy, so my dowry might appear a bit shabby.”

Peter immediately retorted, “What I want to marry is you, not your dowry. It doesn’t matter. The Olsen family has enough money for us to squander for generations!”

This remark earned a scolding from his father. “Don’t you have any ambition? Are you planning to live off Ellis your entire life?”

Peter laughed. “Isn’t that a good idea? That way, I won’t contend with Ellis over the estate. If I started fighting for it, wouldn’t our family become chaotic?”

His father waved his hand dismissively. “Forget it. I don’t want to deal with your matters.”

After that, he went straight upstairs. The siblings remained downstairs. Keira hung her head low, fiddling with her phone.

Seeing this, Susan approached and asked, “Little sister, what are you doing? I still want to talk to you about Ellis and Mary’s matters. Though I’m not married into the family yet, I still hope everyone here is happy. If Ellis and Mary’s issues aren’t resolved, there will always be underlying problems. I know you and Mary are close, and your feelings are more inclined toward her, but Ellis has always been good to you.”

She turned to the other brothers. “Surely everyone wants Ellis and Mary to reconcile?

Everyone immediately nodded. After witnessing Ellis letting himself go, anyone with eyes could see that Ellis truly cared for Mary.

Everyone understood that Mary had been wronged…

But after all, when it came to family ties, everyone knew who they preferred to see happy, and that was Ellis.

Susan continued, “So sometimes, if we can achieve our goal using some unsavory means, we don’t need to mind, right? As the saying goes, whether it’s a black cat or a white cat, a good cat is one that catches the mouse. I think my earlier suggestion could really work. Although it may seem unfair to Mary, she’s always had Ellis in her heart. They won’t blame you once they reconcile. Right?”

Keira scoffed. If she really kicked Mary out, forcing her back into the Olsen family, how could Mary ever hold her head high again?

She continued toying with her phone without responding.

Susan persisted. “Little sister, you wouldn’t want to refuse, would you? Do you really want to see Ellis lonely forever? Do you really care about Ellis or the Olsen brothers?”

Her words led the group of brothers to once again turn their collective gaze to Keira.

Keira remained silent. Suddenly, she sneered, lifted her head, and held up her phone. “This is your phone screensaver, isn’t it?”

Susan was taken aback and hesitated. “Yes, and how come that screen looks just like my phone’s?”

“Oh, that’s because I’ve hacked into your phone!” said Keira calmly.

At this, Susan’s face instantly stiffened!

She swallowed nervously. “What did you hack into my phone for?”

“Nothing much. I just thought I’d take an interest since you’re going to be my sister-in-law. Come on, let’s see what’s in your photo album?”

Keira openly accessed Susan’s album and immediately spotted intimate photos of Susan with that boyfriend. She curled her lips and, under Susan’s shocked and panicked gaze, raised the phone for Peter and the other brothers to see. “This is the man I saw at the mall last time!”
