403 Chapter 402
Uncle Olsen usually stood aloof from the world, rarely mingling with people.â
At this moment, the one speaking to him was an old friend from childhood, and the question askedmanaged to pique his interest, so he replied, âNo rush. Wait for everyone to arrive, and Iâll introduceyou.â
A group of people immediately burst into laughter. âAlright, with such a grand momentum, weâre allwaiting for your good news!â
By the entrance, Victoria listened to this conversation
and glanced at her other brothers, noticing that their expressions were somewhat displeased.
She immediately looked toward James and whispered, âJames, does everyone dislike Keera thatmuch?â
âYes,â James sneered. âOf course!â
Victoria asked excitedly, âIs it because she kept a gigolo after getting divorced?â
âThatâs right!â
James continued with a dark face. âEven you know
403 Chapter 402
about this!â
âEven?â Victoria was perplexed.
James sneered. âWith her behaving this way, is she doing right by Uncle Olsen?â
Victoria was confused.
She looked at James in bewilderment, wondering why Keera had wronged Uncle Olsen.
Had she wronged Uncle Olsenâs kindness in raising her? Indeed, she should have sought UncleOlsenâs consent first before dating someone elseâ¦
Thinking this way, Victoria nodded. âRight, she has wronged Uncle Olsen terribly!â
James and the other brothers exchanged glances and immediately turned their attention to Ellis. âEllis,you stay here to welcome the guests; weâll go in and entertain them, as quite a few have alreadyarrived!â
Ellis didnât think much of it and simply nodded. âGo
ahead.â
His response gave the six brothers some liberty, and they promptly entered the banquet hall.

James first looked toward Keira and Maryâ¦
Both were keeping a low profile, and Keira even wore a black gown, walking discreetly around thecorners of the banquet.
Charles couldnât help but speak, âDo you see? That one, she does look quite pretty, and for somereason, she even seems approachable. How did she end up doing something to wrong Uncle Olsen?â
James scoffed. âAppearances can be deceiving; thatâs just who she is! Back at Freeman Sect, shealmost
fooled me!â
The other brothers also chimed in.
âWhat do we do now?â
âHave a chat, and make her either leave that gigolo orn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
leave this banquet hall. How about that?â
âExactly, we canât let Uncle Olsen become the
laughingstock of Clance!â
Charles then added. âI have a little idea!â
Everyone immediately looked at him intently.
Charles raised his eyebrows. âWhat do you all think
403 Chapter 402
about this? Shall I recognize her as my foster sister? That way, Uncle Olsen surely wouldnât have tointroduce her as our future aunt, right?â
Jamesâs eyes lit up. âThatâs smart! Why didnât I think of that!â a
âThis banquet then has its direction, no longer without a way to conclude!â
âBut will she agree to you as her foster brother?â
Charles immediately said, âSheâll definitely agree. Once she acknowledges me, sheâll be the Olsenfamilyâs foster daughter, and there are plenty of benefits to
that!â
After saying this, he walked up to Keira.
Keira was holding a plate, lingering in the buffet area, feeling the inherent issue with banquets:insatiated.
The shelves were filled with all sorts of fancy itemsâ¦
Keira picked a cookie and was about to turn to find Mary when she saw Charles standing in front of her.He then crossed his arms, snickered, and said, âLet me ask you. If I acknowledge you as my sister,would you
be
up for it?â

Keira was perplexed.
She raised an eyebrow and followed Charlesâs gaze to look at the group standing not far away, headedby
James and the other five brothers.
Then she chuckled softly, saying indifferently, âAlright then.â
Charlesâs eyes lit up. âI knew youâd know how to
choose, so tell Uncle Olsen later. Donât let him
announce that youâre his future wife, got it?â
The Charles in front of her seemed to be not much
older than she was. Right now, his gaze toward her
carried a hint of naive bewilderment.
Keira found that the boys in the Olsen family were all quite innocentâ¦
The Olsen family had a good upbringing.
She lowered her gaze. âSure!
Seeing how readily she agreed, Charles was somewhat surprised, âAre you serious?â
âYes.â
âAlright, itâs a deal then!â
403 Chapter 402
Charles ran back excitedly, and Keira, holding her
plate, waved at the six gourd brothers before lingering in the dining area.
âHow did it go?â
âHow did it go!â
As soon as Charles returned, everyone immediately
started to ask.
After Charles relayed Keiraâs response, everyone became excited. âThatâs really great!â
Charles even said. âEllis, I think Keera is pretty nice. When I was chatting with her just now, she lookedso
cute when she smiled!ânovelbin
James scoffed. âYou naive kid. Donât be fooled by he
looks!â
The group was laughing and jokingâ¦
After Keira ate a few cookies, she wanted to continue, but Mary stopped her. âWeâre going to eat later,why are you eating so many cookies now? Wonât eat your meal later?â
Keira was surprised. âWeâre going to have a meal?â
403 Chapter 402
Mary nodded and pointed to a nearby private room. âThis is the buffet area, but thereâs also a seating
arrangementâ¦â
Then she pointed to the seat at the main table. âAs Uncle Olsenâs daughter and the guest of honortoday, youâll be eligible to sit at the main table.â
Keira was surprised.
She had thought these cookies were dinner, but it turned out wealthy family banquets were soelaborate!
After waiting a bit longer, the others gradually began to move toward the banquet area.
Keira accompanied Mary first to her seat at the second
table.
As Ellisâs wife, she held a place there.
Keira then looked for her own seat, checking the cards
on the table.
Just as she turned around, she saw a group from the Olsen family approaching. Victoria was amongthem, following James and the others. When she saw Keira, Victoria immediately looked towardJames, âJames, is Keera sitting at the main table tonight?â
=)
403 Chapter 402
Upon these words, everyoneâs attention swiftly turned
to Keira.
Even Victoria was clutching her fingers tightly.
She feared that once Keera returned home, she might instantly leapfrog over her to become the mostprestigious daughter of the Olsen family. Thus, this was her laying a trap.
She hoped to have James announce her seating in front of everyone.
James glanced at Keira and sneered, then looking down, he said flatly, âOf course not. The main tableis
reserved for the elders. As for Keeraâ¦â
James surveyed the scene⦠Today, he was in charge of entertaining guests and arranging the seating.
He pointed to the third table right away. âTake a seat there! Itâs appropriate for your status and position.â
Mary furrowed her brows. âJames, how can you arrange it like this?â
