âWho are you?â
Christina sneered, âYouâre Keera, arenât you? Before coming here, we had already thoroughly
investigated your background.â
Keira was about to speak when Mary suddenly charged in front of her, blocking her way. âChristina,
Victoria, thatâs enough! Believe it or not, if I tell Ellis about todayâs events, and he wonât let you off!â
Christina was startled, hesitating for a moment. She
hesitated.
Christina lowered her gaze and said indifferently, âYesterday, Ellis seemed to have gone out. Why
werenât you together on your wedding night?â
That remark seemed to remind Christina.
She immediately acted like she had caught on something. âChris, are you serious?â
She seldom called Christina by her full name bed Christina hated it. It was as if she was taken into t
Olsen family just by a random chance.
Christina nodded. âI saw it with my own eyes. After Ellis left last night, he never came back. Mary,
whatâs going on with you and Ellis? It couldnât be that youâre having a spat, right? Youâve just gotten
married; it should be your honeymoon periodâ¦â
Christina said, âItâs definitely because Ellis doesnât love her, what else could it be? I always thought
there was something wrong with their marriage. There are so many young ladies in Clance, why would
Ellis end up with her of all people? She must have done something shameful to seduce him! Now sheâs
having a child, hoping to rise above her station overnight. Mary, I advise you to recognize your place.
Do you really think that by marrying Ellis, you can become our
sister-in-law? Let me tell you, itâs impossible! No one will accept you!â
Christina said, âVictoria, you canât just say that does have a status after all. We should still let
some dignity.â
Christina scoffed. âFine, she can apologize. As lo the apology is sincere enough, we can let her off
hook!â
Christina raised an eyebrow.
ve
Mary asked naively, âOkay, Iâll apologize on behalf of Keera. Whatever has happened, whoever is right
or wrong, weâre sorry. Can we live harmoniously from
now on?â
Christina immediately laughed. âMary, you canât be that naive. Is an apology over and done with just by
saying it?â
Mary immediately furrowed her brows. âThen what do you want? Or should I say, how much money do
you want?â
Christina and Victoria exchanged glances before Christina spoke up. âWe donât need money.â
Mary blurted out without thinking. âThen what do you want? A house? Jewelry? Or something else?â
Christina didnât say a word, only looked at Keira with a smile.
Christina then crossed her arms. âWe wonât n difficult for our sister-in-law. Given your spec and current
pregnancy, letâs have Keera kneel t and apologize, and thatâll be fine.â
âKneel?â

âEllis? Will he answer her call? She ran away on her wedding night. Does she think she can command
Ellis? Besides, if he were here, itâs not a given he would take
her side!â
Mary was so angry she couldnât speak and simply shouted, âYouâ¦â
âWhat about us?â
Christina took a step forward, her chin slightly raised as she looked down at the others. âAre you going
to kneel? Beg for mercy! Donât force us to get physical!â
Keira, with her arms crossed, stood her ground and spoke only to Mary and Rebecca. âYou two, go
upstairs.â
Mary didnât understand what was happening, but Rebecca immediately nodded, grabbing Mary and
pulling her back.
Mary became angry. âWhat are you doing? Ke get hurt!â
âShe wonâtâ¦â
Rebecca comforted her, âYou must trust the benefactorâs abilityâ¦â
