567 Chapter 566

….

Ellis took a step forward and shielded Keira while staring at Vera. “Is this how the Martin family treats its guests? You sent us the invitation, and now that we’ve arrived, you’re driving us away? Are you disregarding the Olsen family openly?”

As soon as Ellis said this, the other brothers immediately took a step forward, defending Keira.

James crossed his arms and said bluntly, “If you want to kick my little sister out, you’ll have to get past me first!”

Vera’s face turned cold. “Today is my engagement party with Scott, but the Olsen family is causing trouble. Have you decided you want to make things difficult with the Martin family?”

Scott interjected urgently, “Vera, that’s enough! Why make such a big fuss over a small matter? They’re all our guests, and I haven’t said anything to Miss Olsen. That’s enough!”

Vera sneered, staring at him. “Scott, it seems your grandfather still hasn’t made things clear to you. Maybe you don’t yet understand what responsibilities you’ll have once you marry me?”

She snickered, then turned to someone by her side. “Go get Grandpa!”

Immediately, a servant hurried off.

Scott frowned. “It’s a trivial matter; there’s no need to involve the elders, is there?”

Vera sneered. “If you won’t stand up for your fiancée, then I’ll just have to ask Grandpa to make decisions for me!”

After saying this, she turned to Keira. “You all should just leave peacefully. Otherwise, once Grandpa comes out and we all fall out with each other, it won’t look good!”

Ellis frowned.

Although the Olsen family was powerful in Clance, the Martin family was a formidable clan abroad, and it was indeed not good to offend them so blatantly.

During the commotion with the Gill family, the Olsen family had the upper hand. Even so, there were rumors in Clance lately about the Olsens being overly domineering.Reêad latest ??ov??ls at n????v/e/l/bi??(.)com

This time, they were without a just cause…

As he pondered, Susan said. “Ellis, things have already gotten to this point. Why stay and get humiliated? Let’s just leave!”

Ellis frowned as he looked at Keira.

Keira clenched her jaw and held her fists tight.

If Vera and Scott got engaged just like that, she feared she would indeed be unable to complete the third task, and then she wouldn’t be able to save her mother…

Taking a deep breath, Keira said, “I just want to speak a few words with Scott. Won’t Miss South allow that even when we’re in front of everyone? Isn’t that a bit too overbearing? Are you saying that Scott isn’t allowed to speak to women in the future?”

Vera’s eyes narrowed.

Rebecca then said, “Exactly, we’re all watching. What could possibly happen between Miss Olsen and Mr. Martin? Miss South, do you have so little confidence in yourself?”

Erin also chimed in. “Yeah, can Keera steal my brother away with just a few words? Vera, don’t be too overbearing in your actions! Besides, my brother is a person, not your accessory. Are you planning to keep my brother at home after getting married, not allowing him to see anyone? You can’t control my brother’s life!”

Vera scoffed. “The two of you are colluding with Keira. Don’t think I’ll fall for your provocation. Scott, I order you to keep your distance from Keira. Did you hear me?”

Scott said, “Vera, enough is enough! I’m entering this marriage with you as an equal partner; I’m not your subordinate! You don’t have the right to order me around!”

Vera scoffed. “Then why don’t you ask Grandpa, after we’re married, who will call the shots at home?!”

Scott’s face turned rigid.

Vera looked at the Olsens again. “All members of the Olsen family must get out! The Olsen family isn’t welcome during my engagement party. Moreover, from now on, the Martin family will no longer welcome the Olsen family!”

Her voice was strong and authoritative, causing everyone around to frown at her domineering attitude.

Scott’s face turned livid with her overbearing manner.

Erin immediately moved closer to Keira, holding her arm, and said, “Miss Olsen, what do you have to say to my brother? I’ll pass the message for you! So, nobody needs to worry, thinking every conversation might lead to something scandalous. Where has the basic trust between people gone?”

Erin stuck her tongue out at Keira.

Seeing this, Keira turned her gaze to Scott once more. “Let me see the photo to see if there’s anything I can do.”

She was still holding out hope to find the last possible solution.

Erin craned her neck and said, “Brother, what photo? Hand it over to me, and I’ll show it to Keera.”

Scott nodded, opened his wallet, pulled out the photo inside, and handed it to Erin.

Vera took a step forward, but Erin stuck out her tongue again. “Vera, I won’t say anything if you want to control my brother, but I am an independent individual, and one day I’ll be married off. You can’t control me!”
