Chapter 564: Chapter 563
Ellis Olsen stepped forward, blocking Keira Olsen and looked towards Vera South: “Is this how the Martin family treats their guests? You sent us the invitation, and when our family arrives, you try to drive us away? Do you really have no regard for the Olsen family?”
With those words from Ellis Olsen, the other brothers immediately stepped forward and shielded Keira Olsen.
James Olsen, with his arms crossed, declared firmly: “If you want to throw my little sister out, you have to get past me first!”
Vera South’s face turned cold: “Today is the engagement party for Scott Martin and me. Is the Olsen family deliberately causing trouble, aiming to provoke the Martin family?”
Scott Martin quickly spoke up: “Vera, that’s enough! Why make things so complicated? They are all guests, and there’s been no issue between Miss Olsen and me. Please, enough is enough!”
Vera South scoffed, glaring at him: “Scott Martin, it seems your grandfather hasn’t made things clear to you yet? Maybe you don’t realize the responsibilities you’ll have after marrying me?”
She sneered, then directly looked at someone nearby: “Go and ask old Mr. Martin to come over!”
Immediately, a servant hurried into the resting room.
Scott Martin frowned: “It’s a trivial matter. There’s no need to disturb the elders!”
Vera South scoffed: “If you do not protect your fiancee’s face, then I must seek grandfather’s help to decide for me!”
After saying that, she turned to Keira Olsen: “You better leave nicely, or it’ll get ugly when grandfather arrives and everyone’s face is torn apart!”
Ellis Olsen furrowed his brows.
Although the Olsen family is powerful and prominent in Clance, the Martin family is also a formidable family internationally; it was indeed not wise to blatantly offend them.
The last dispute with the Gill family happened because the Olsen family had a justified cause. Even so, recent rumors around Clance portrayed the Olsen family as tyrannical.
This time, coming without legitimate reason…
While he was contemplating, Susan Simpson spoke up: “Big brother, things have gotten to this point, why stay here any longer? Are we here to embarrass ourselves? Let’s just leave!”
Ellis Olsen looked at Keira Olsen, his brows still knit together.
Keira Olsen tightened her jaw, clenching her fists.
If Vera South and Scott Martin were to get engaged just like that, she might truly be unable to complete her third mission, and then she couldn’t save her mother…
Keira Olsen took a deep breath, “I just want to speak a few words with Scott Martin. Miss South, are you not allowing this in such a public place? Isn’t this too overbearing? Are you implying that Scott Martin is not allowed to speak with women in the future, only with men?”
Vera South narrowed her eyes.
Rebecca Allen then spoke up: “Exactly, we are all watching. What could happen between Miss Olsen and Mr. Martin? Miss South, do you really have so little confidence in yourself?”
Erin South Martin also spoke: “Right, could my brother be swept away by her just by talking? Cousin Vera, don’t be too overbearing! After all, my brother is a person, not your decoration. Are you planning to lock my brother at home after marriage and not allow him to see anyone? Don’t try to control my brother!”
Vera South scoffed: “You two siding with Keira Olsen, birds of a feather. Don’t think I’ll fall for your reverse psychology. Scott Martin, I order you to keep your distance from Keira Olsen, did you hear?”
Scott Martin also spoke up: “Vera, enough! I joined this marriage on equal terms, I am not your subordinate! You have no right to order me around!”
Vera South scoffed: “Should we ask grandpa who will be in charge of household matters after marriage then?”
Scott Martin’s face stiffened.
Vera South turned towards the Olsen family: “All present members of Olsen family, get out! Today is my engagement party; the Olsen family is not welcome anymore. Furthermore, the Martin family will also no longer welcome the Olsen family in the future!
Her voice was firm, her words strongly spoken, causing everyone around to frown.
Scott Martin was left pale and angered by her dictatorial attitude.
Erin South Martin immediately approached Keira Olsen, supporting her arm and said: “What do you need to tell my brother? Let me relay that for you then! To avoid some people always suspecting that the conversation could deteriorate into an inappropriate mess. Ah, it’s sad, how can there be such a lack of basic trust between people?”
Erin South Martin stuck out her tongue at her.
Seeing this, Keira Olsen once again looked towards Scott Martin: “Let me see the picture, see if there’s anything I can do!”
She still had not given up on finding a last resort.
Erin South Martin then stretched her neck, saying: “Bro, what picture? Hand it to me, I’ll show it to Sister Keera!”
Scott Martin nodded, opened his wallet, pulled out the photo inside, and handed it to Erin South Martin.
Vera South immediately stepped forward to speak, but Erin South Martin stuck out her tongue again: “Vera, you can manage my brother all you want, I won’t complain, but I am my own person. After all, I am to be married off, you can’t control me!”
After saying that, she handed the photo to Keira Olsen.
