Chapter 540: Chapter 539
Scott Martin was puzzled: “You want to see her?”
“Yes.”
“…Why is that?”
Scott Martin’s eyes brightened, could it be that Miss Olsen has feelings for him too?
But he dared not voice this thought.
Keira Olsen just looked down and slowly began, “It’s nothing, is she in Crera?”
“Yes, she came with Erin, and now she’s staying at my place, and… my grandfather has come.”
Scott Martin showed an expression of difficulty.
As soon as his grandfather arrived, he started pressuring him to marry his cousin.
But he had no feelings for his cousin Vera South at all!
He didn’t want to marry!
Yet his grandfather was the decision-maker in the family, almost having the final say in his marriage, rendering his resistance futile.
He could only say that he had someone he liked.
But his grandfather insisted on having him bring the person home to meet him…
Thinking of this, Scott Martin looked towards Keira Olsen and suddenly his eyes lit up: “How about, you come to my place tomorrow?”
Keira Olsen thought for a moment, then nodded: “Okay.”
She would go and see this Vera South.
If things went as expected, this Vera South was definitely the Fox.
Scott Martin then lowered his head, revealing a smile.
While they were speaking, Peter Olsen and the housemaids had quickly prepared several more dishes and placed them on the dining table.
After Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton finished eating, they took Amy upstairs.
Her room was already arranged, it was a suite, very suitable for their family of three.
The rest of the people also returned to their rooms one by one, the brothers of the Olsen Family, rarely gathered together, decided to play cards together.
Susan’s face didn’t look good as she watched Peter Olsen, and finally she left the room.
Just leaving the card room, she bumped into the housemaid South Jenkins, running right into her.
South Jenkins carried fruits prepared for them, and as she was bumped into, the fruits scattered on the floor. She had learned proper conduct and knew not to blame the hosts, so she immediately bowed her head in apology and began cleaning up the things on the floor.
The butler had said that as long as you apologize immediately if something happens, the household members are very kind and it’ll be fine.
But she didn’t expect Susan to kick her suddenly, directly knocking South Jenkins to the ground!
South Jenkins was stunned.
Susan looked down at her from above with a disgusted expression on her face: “In this house, even a maid like you can bully me now?”
South Jenkins quickly gestured with her hands: “I didn’t, Miss Simpson, that’s not what I meant, I really didn’t do it on purpose, I…”
Before she could finish, Susan pointed at her own clothes, angrily saying, “You’ve dirtied my clothes, you must compensate me today! Otherwise, I won’t let you off!”
South Jenkins bit her lip in anger.
After a pause, she finally took a deep breath and said, “Okay, how much? I’ll pay.”
Just her bad luck.
But as soon as she said this, she heard Susan indifferently state: “One hundred and thirty thousand.”
“What, what?”
South Jenkins was shocked, disbelievingly looking at her.
She was dumbfounded as she sized up the clothes on Susan’s body: “These clothes are worth 130,000?”
Susan sneered: “Of course. How could someone as poor as you discern their value! If you can’t afford it, the cost will be deducted from your salary!”
South clenched her lips, her eyes reddening, yet she took a deep breath: “Miss Jekins, this is beyond my means. Besides, it was you who wasn’t looking where you were going and bumped into me.”
Susan immediately retorted angrily: “What are you saying? Are you implying I’m blind?”
“I didn’t say that, I…”
“What about you?”
Susan took a step forward, stretched out her arm, and slapped South across the face!
“Slap!”
The crisp sound of the slap echoed.
South was stunned; she covered her face, then angrily glared at Susan before slapping her back across the face!
Susan was dumbstruck: “You’re just a nanny; how dare you hit me?”
South scoffed: “This is the 21st century; everyone is equal. What’s wrong with being a nanny? Does that make me inferior? What kind of mentality is that?”
Susan, gasping for air, glared at her furiously.
“What’s going on?”
At this moment, Peter Olsen’s voice came over.
Susan immediately went up to him, sweet-talking: “Peter, she wasn’t watching where she was going, stained my clothes, and hit me!”
Peter then looked at South.
South pointed to her cheek: “Shouldn’t there be a slap mark on my face too? Why does Miss Simpson like to play the victim? Aren’t you going to mention when you slapped me?”
Susan, feeling wronged and angry, said: “Peter, do you see what I mean? In this house, I simply cannot stay. Your sister targets me, and even a mere nanny doesn’t regard me at all! Or is it that you’re under someone else’s instruction, which is why you dare to treat me this way?”
South almost rolled her eyes: “Are you paranoid?”
Susan raged: “Say that again?!”
Peter sighed: “Susan, that’s enough, why are you picking a fight with a nanny? It’s just some dirty clothes. I’ll buy you a new one tomorrow, and I will transfer the money to you later!”
Susan took a deep breath but kept glaring at South.
By this time, quite a few servants had gathered around.
If they noticed her being talked back to without consequence, what dignity would she have left in the Olsen Family after that?
Susan’s eyes reddened: “Peter, I am your lifesaver. You once promised not to let me be wronged, is this how you meant I wouldn’t be mistreated?”
She lowered her head, wiping the corner of her eye: “I was impulsive when I hit her, but what right does a nanny have to hit back? She must apologize to me for this!”
Upon hearing this, South sneered: “Impossible!”
Susan immediately turned to her: “Peter, you see? It’s because you always fail to stand up for me, that’s why I’m so disrespected in this family! Are you just going to watch me get bullied?!”
Peter paused, then helplessly looked at South: “Regardless, you shouldn’t have hit back. For this, you owe Susan an apology!”
South: “Why should I?”
Peter Olsen: “Because I am the master of this house. Are you going to apologize or not? If not, I’ll have the butler fire you!”
Fire her?
The Olsen Family’s servants had few duties and were well compensated; many people wanted to get in, and South had worked hard to earn this position. How could she just be fired?
She pointed at Susan, frustrated: “Just because she saved you once, does that mean you’re biased towards her?”
Peter Olsen: “That’s right! Susan saved my life, and I certainly can’t let her be wronged! You don’t need to compensate for the clothes, just bow and apologize, that’s all!”
South’s eyes welled up: “What if I had saved you too?”
