Chapter 538: Chapter 537

Keira Olsen looked at Susan Simpson coldly, her eyes narrowed, about to speak…

“Slap!”

A plate, along with the food in it, suddenly smacked onto Susan Simpson’s face!

Susan Simpson was utterly shocked, incredulously turning to the person who had done it.

All eyes were on her.

They saw Erin South Martin pull out a tissue, wiped the grease off her fingers, and then coldly said, “Aren’t you disgusted? You’ve put ginger in all the dishes, all soaked with your saliva. How are we supposed to eat these?”

Susan Simpson used her hand to wipe off the vegetable leaves hanging on her face, completely infuriated, “This lemon water was just brought over, I haven’t even drunk it, where’s my saliva in it?”

Erin South Martin paused slightly, then patted her own head, “Oh right, I forgot.”

Then she looked at her, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do it, I was just angry for a moment, thinking you wanted us to eat your saliva…”

As she spoke these words, her expression mockingly imitated Susan Simpson’s earlier manner of speaking, making Susan instantly turn a shade darker.

Peter Olsen was also dumbfounded.

Originally, he couldn’t tell that Susan Simpson had been pretending, but Erin South Martin’s acting was so poor it was obvious she was saying these words on purpose. With this contrast, he immediately understood something.

Peter Olsen turned his head to Susan Simpson, “You did that on purpose?”

Susan Simpson immediately spoke, “No, Peter, I really didn’t mean to. It’s just the lemon water had just been brought over and it was a bit hot. I just didn’t hold it steadily…”

As soon as these words fell, Keira Olsen scoffed.

She leisurely stood up, looked at Lewis Horton and asked, “Can you help me serve a bowl of soup?”

With just a glance between them, Lewis Horton’s lips slightly curled.

He picked up a soup bowl, ladled some soup into it, and handed it to Keira Olsen, who immediately took it. Then, the moment she touched the bowl, she instantly let go.

The bowl of soup immediately fell onto the table in front of her, and although the soup spilled out, it only dirtied the spot in front of her.

The Olsen Family had many people eating together, around a large round table.

The soup had spilled in front of her, at some distance from the other dishes on the table, only the vegetables in front of Keira were slightly soaked.

Keira Olsen looked at Peter Olsen, “The real reaction to something hot should be like this. Knowing it’s hot, why would you push the bowl away, spilling it on the table?”

Peter Olsen was startled, then turned to look at Susan Simpson.

Susan Simpson’s complexion turned pale in an instant.

She swallowed hard, disbelievingly looking at Keira Olsen, “I, I didn’t think too much, I pushed it away subconsciously…”

“Pushed it away subconsciously? Your subconscious is really not like other people’s!”

Keira Olsen hooked her lips and said no more, just calmly sitting there.

Susan Simpson stood stiff with tension.

She couldn’t believe that today everyone seemed to be on the opposing side of her.

She immediately began to speak, “I didn’t do it, Keira, there must be some kind of misunderstanding between us. How could I do such a thing on purpose? You clearly said you don’t like ginger, what reason would I have to target you? This is really just a misunderstanding!”

This time, before Keira Olsen could speak, James Olsen couldn’t help but interject, “Susan Simpson, since you walked in, you’ve been intentionally targeting Keira. What exactly is the problem between you two? Don’t tell me what Keira said is true?”

Erin South Martin immediately asked with curiosity, “What’s true?”

“It’s about her having an affair with someone else, right? Since my younger sister saw it and told us, you’re deliberately targeting her! I can’t think of any other reasons!”

James Olsen blurted out directly.

Erin South Martin’s eyes lit up immediately, and she looked at Susan Simpson: “So you’ve been messing around with someone else? And got caught? No wonder… The moment I walked in, I could feel your hostility towards Kiera!”

Susan Simpson retorted right back: “Where did you see that? Don’t talk nonsense here!”

Erin South Martin then said: “It’s a woman’s sixth sense!”

Susan Simpson: !!

Seeing that she couldn’t win against these people, she immediately glanced at Peter Olsen: “Peter, I don’t care whether others believe me or not, I only care about what you think! If you don’t believe me either, then I might as well leave!”

Peter Olsen frowned.

Susan Simpson then picked up her bag, pretending to leave. Seeing that Peter Olsen still hadn’t gotten up, she hung her head in grievance: “Peter, don’t you really understand my feelings for you? For you, I could even give up my life! Back when you had your car accident, and there was a gas leak, everyone said it was going to explode, I was the one who dragged you out. We almost got blown to death… I never thought we would end up here today…”

That statement hit hard.

Peter Olsen really stood up, held her hand and then looked at Kiera Olsen: “Younger sister, about what happened today, I owe you an apology, but Susan is my lifesaver, so can we let this go?”

Kiera Olsen tightened her jaw and scoffed.

Peter Olsen sighed: “Let’s all eat a little later, I’ll ask the kitchen to make something else for everyone.”

After saying this, he walked into the kitchen holding Susan Simpson’s hand.

After the two of them went in, James Olsen frowned: “Playing the lifesaver card really works wonders, doesn’t it? Maybe when Kate Freeman has some trouble, I should go rescue her. That way, she won’t dare be so fierce with me anymore!”

“Spit it out!” Charles Olsen chimed in: “How can you curse Sister Kate like that?”

James Olsen couldn’t help but vent: “I’m not cursing her, it’s just that Kate Freeman is too aggressive, like a tigress…”

The two joked around, but Kiera Olsen looked toward the kitchen and sighed.

Actually, she had countless ways to kick Susan Simpson out, but what after that?

This act of saving a life could make Peter Olsen forgive her for a lifetime.

Even if her relationship with that so-called brother was really resolved, Peter Olsen would probably still be bound by this lifesaving grace.

She lowered her gaze and sighed.

So what way was there to completely solve this trouble?

She furrowed her brows.

She simply stood up and headed to the kitchen.

Before she approached, she saw a housemaid standing not far away, intently watching Peter Olsen.

The housemaid looked to be about 25 years old, somewhat unfamiliar. Noticing Kiera Olsen’s gaze, she immediately looked over: “Good day, Miss.”

Kiera Olsen nodded: “New here?”

The maid nodded.

Kiera Olsen then inquired: “Do you, know my fifth brother?”

The maid hesitated, glanced at Peter Olsen, and then said: “He looks a bit familiar, like someone I rescued from a car a few years ago…”

Kiera Olsen: “What did you say?”
