Chapter 526
Keira knew that Susan was doing it on purpose.
From the first meeting, Susan had shown significant hostility, even constantly trying to drive a wedge
between her and Peter.
Susan was either Fox or working for them.
However, Peter occupied a mediocre position in the Olsen family, and the projects he was in charge of were also average, so
why would Fox start with him?
...No, the Fox didn’t start with him but was targeting
several brothers at once!
If Keira objected to this marriage, given Uncle Olsen’s degree of fondness for her, he would definitely order Peter and Susan to
break up immediately, which would
leave a thorn in the hearts of her brothers.
It was as if she, Keira, was acting like a queen in the family.
Her arrival had made the family so discordant...
Keira took a deep breath, and when she looked up again, she saw that, except for James, a few of the
08:41
527 Chapter 528
brothers were looking at her, apparently waiting for
her answer..
Keira then turned her gaze to Peter.
Although she wasn’t close to Peter, on the day she returned home to acknowledge her relatives, Peter secretly gave her a bank
card, whispering, “Little sister, I don’t know how your financial situation is, but this card is under my name. If you ever run out of
money,
feel free to use it.”
At that time, Peter had a beaming smile on his face.
Keira’s chin tensed.
She couldn’t ignore the situation. Knowing what kind of person Susan was, she couldn’t still let Peter jump into the fire pit.
She took a deep breath and looked at Peter, “Peter, what if I don’t agree?”
A shadow passed over Peter’s eyes momentarily.
He hung his head and, after a moment of silence, looked toward Keira. “Keera, I know you and Susan had some unpleasant
interactions when you first met, but Susan isn’t bad by nature. It must be a
527 Chapter 526
misunderstanding between you two. I can’t give up on Susan. I want to marry her.”
Charles then looked toward Keira. “Keera, the truth is, Miss Simpson might seem a bit pretentious, but she’s actually quite nice.
And, she once saved Peter’s life.”
Susan’s face stiffened when she heard the former part of the statement, but she showed a look of pride when she heard the
latter.
It was the first time Keira had heard any of this, and she was slightly startled. “Is there a story there?”
“Yes, it was two years ago when Peter had a car accident. The car fell off the road. It happened late at night with no one around.
It was Miss Simpson who came by and desperately pulled him out, saving his
life.”
After Charles finished speaking, Peter looked at Susan with a mixture of tenderness and gratitude. “That day, I groggily got taken
to the hospital. After I was treated, the doctors and nurses all told me I was fortunate. If I had been brought in any later, I wouldn’t
have made it.”
He held Susan’s hand. “Susan saved my life, and I want
527 Chapter 526
to be with her for the rest of my life. If my family
objects to the marriage, then I’ll leave the Olsen family and strike out on my own.”
Susan looked at him gratefully and then turned her soft and vulnerable gaze to Keira. “Miss Olsen, the person you saw at the
mall wasn’t me. I’ve actually been secretly in love with Peter for many years, and he knows it. That’s why, when I saw him driving
off in a bad state that night, I followed him and managed to save him. I couldn’t possibly betray Peter.”
Her eyes brimming with tears, she said, “Peter wants to marry me, and he wants the blessing of everyone in the family. Miss
Olsen, can’t you and I put aside our past misunderstandings?”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
She reviewed the mall surveillance footage and found nothing, which confirmed that there must be a rat. If not for that, she would
have been swayed by Susan’s acting skills!
No wonder Peter/couldn’t see through it; this woman was just too good at acting.
She didn’t speak, and Susan sighed again, withdrawing
527 Chapter 526
her hand from Peter’s. “Peter, I know that Miss Olsen is Uncle Olsen’s newly found daughter, and the Olsen family has always
wanted a girl. You all must be very affectionate toward her, so if she really doesn’t wish us to marry, then we should forget it! I
don’t want to cause division in the family because of me.”
Keira was speechless.
This woman was good!
Susan turned back to Peter, and he grabbed her arm. “Susan, what are you talking about? Keera has always been sensible, and
since our reunion, she has never been unreasonable! She won’t disagree, right, Keera?”
Keira was speechless.
She felt like she had swallowed half a fly, unable to spit it out, yet unable to swallow it down.
She took a deep breath, and before she could speak, the rest of the brothers spoke one after another.
Charles said, “Keera, just give them your blessing, will you?”
James also said, “Keera, they’ve been together for a year now. Why don’t you just let them marry?”
The other brothers also chimed in.
“After getting married, we won’t necessarily live together. Even if there is a little conflict between you and Susan, she won’t give
you any trouble since you’ll be living farther apart in the future.”
“This is ultimately Peter’s private life. We shouldn’t be too meddlesome, right?”
“Little sister, I think you should just give them your blessing.”
“Right, right, there’s no deep hatred to speak of.”
Keira remained silent.
With everything that her brothers had said, what more could she say?
How could she continue to oppose the marriage?
