Chapter 532: Chapter 531 Chapter 532: Chapter 531 Susan Simpson’s accusation silenced everyone on the spot.
All eyes turned to her.
James Olsen blurted out subconsciously: “What are you talking about? It was an accident, Keera had no idea there would be a fire!”
Charles Olsen nodded as well: “Yeah, how can you blame our cousin?”
Peter Olsen was also stunned, pulling at Susan: “What nonsense are you spouting?”
But Susan pushed Peter Olsen away, tears streaming down her face like rain on pear blossoms, “Don’t you all think the same? Or is there something wrong with what I’m saying? If Sister-in-law had already forgiven my brother and they were living in the Horton Family home, how could this have happened!”
She wiped her tears: “Peter, you always tell me how great your brother is, how admirable he is–shouldn’t you be the one who respects him the most? But now, because of her, my brother and sister-in-law died in the fire!”
“You’re all grieving, suffering here; surely, you must hold some resentment, right? You just don’t dare to speak out, don’t dare to blame. I’m just voicing your thoughts!”
Susan angrily looked at Keira Olsen: “Why, when the fire broke out, was your entire family not there, even the nanny was not around? Only my sister-in-law was home?”
Keira Olsen looked at her coldly: “What are you implying?”
This Fox, not content with calculating against Peter, and stirring up trouble between Peter and me, now aims to use James Olsen to drive a wedge between me and my other brothers?
Susan exclaimed indignantly, “I don’t want to overthink it, but with brother in charge of the Horton Family now, if he’s gone, a new heir needs to be chosen. You’re uncle’s biological daughter, while the rest are cousins. Uncle had already designated my brother as the heir, so you were untouchable. But now? Who is the most eligible to inherit–hasn’t it become you?!”
Keira Olsen did not respond but turned to her brothers: “Do you all think this way too?”
James Olsen was the first to speak: “Definitely not, I trust cousin sister!”
Cousin sister is the senior sister of the Freeman Sect, and they always wanted her to take over too. But since she returned, she’s expressed she has no such intention, and instead chose to marry into the Freeman family to inherit the Freeman Sect.
James Olsen, due to previous misunderstandings, had been in the most contact with Keira Olsen.
Cousin sister may seem cold on the outside, but she’s actually very sensitive on the inside. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have helped Matias Gill and Nara Gill! Besides, the shares the Olsen Family have given her are plenty; she can earn money without lifting a finger… She’s about to marry into the Horton Family, so why would she covet the Olsen Family inheritance?!
Charles Olsen also promptly spoke up: “I trust our cousin too!”
Even the other brothers nodded in agreement, “Yeah, Keera is not that kind of person! We brothers don’t even want that inheritance. If she wanted it, she just had to speak up or show any sign of interest, and brother would never compete with her for it! Brother, in fact, yearned for freedom as well…”
Keira Olsen finally looked at Peter Olsen.
Peter’s expression darkened, and he yanked Susan, saying directly: “Stop spouting nonsense here, Keera is not that kind of person!”
In that moment, Keira Olsen felt a familiar warmth.
She snorted, looking at Susan.
Susan’s eyes slightly panicked, apparently not expecting the brothers to trust Keira Olsen so much. Far from sowing discord successfully, she had made herself look bad.
But she quickly regained her composure, lowering her head: “It was me who spoke out of turn, I was overthinking, I was wrong. I just feel sad, and feel injustice on behalf of my brother and sister-in-law! They trusted Keera so much; sister-in-law was Keera’s best friend… but now, they perished in the fire. Everyone is crying in pain, but Keera remains so calm, not a single tear shed…”
Susan forced a bitter smile: “So, in a moment of distress, I spoke without thinking…”
At her words, the brothers immediately looked at Keira Olsen.
Keira was terrifyingly calm at the moment, her face tense, but indeed no tears at the corners of her eyes, utterly composed.
She looked quite heartless.
There they were, wailing for their brother, yet she was so impassive…
James Olsen spoke up immediately: “Keera must be very sad, it’s just that her nature has always been cool, she’s more reserved with her emotions…”
Charles Olsen affirmed softly: “Yes, that’s our cousin…”
As soon as the two finished speaking, Peter Olsen suddenly yelled out: “Stop deceiving yourselves! What cool demeanor? To put it plainly, it’s because she has no affection for us!!”
Peter looked directly at Keira Olsen, angrily questioning: “What do our brother and your best friend mean to you? What about us brothers, deep in your heart? We’ve cherished you like a sister, and you?!”
He wiped a tear, shouting: “Do you even consider us as your real brothers?!”
James Olsen and Charles Olsen grabbed him, with James scolding: “What are you talking about!”
Susan piped up from the side: “Keera, at least cry a little, make everyone feel a bit better…”
Keira Olsen: “…”
Right now, even if she cried, it would seem forced, and in such a situation, how could she possibly force tears?
She sneered: “I can’t cry.”
Susan continued to provoke: “How’s that possible? Your brother treated you so well, aren’t you a bit sad? If you remain like this, it’ll chill your brothers’ hearts.”
Keira Olsen stared at her, saying word by word: “I’m really not sad.”
Hearing this, Susan’s expression turned gleeful: “Not sad? How could you be so cruel! He’s your brother after all! How can you speak such ruthless words?! How will your brothers deal with this in the future?!”
The words made every brother turn to look at Keira Olsen.
Peter clenched his fists, questioning word by word: “Are you really not the slightest bit heartbroken? The people who died in the fire are your elder brother and your best friend!! How could your heart be so harsh!”
Susan eyed Keira Olsen with a hint of triumph in her eyes: “Yeah, Keera, you’ve truly disappointed us all… Brother and sister-in-law were so good to you, yet you can’t even muster a moment of grief… What kind of sister are you? What kind of Horton family member?”
Peter trembled with rage, glaring at Keira Olsen.
James Olsen and Charles Olsen exchanged glances, both looking at Keira with confusion.
The next moment, Keira Olsen suddenly laughed: “They aren’t dead, what do you want me to be sad about?”
