Chapter 529
….
Keira knew hacking into someone else’s phone was an unethical act.
But Susan was a sly person, and Keira only hacked into her phone to see if there would be any trace related to the South family or Fox.
Little did she know that she was digging a hole for herself.
She looked at Susan and noticed that, although the latter was crying, the occasional glance she sent Keira’s way was filled with cunning!
It was intentional! Once Keira realized this, she immediately clenched her fists.
Fox was even more cunning than she had imagined. They had predicted that she would hack into Susan’s phone and foresee all of today’s events!
Susan’s previous concessions were nothing but the groundwork for this moment!
Keira took a deep breath, slowly put down her phone, and then looked at Susan and said, “Sorry, I’ve wrongfully accused you.”
She indeed had no way out of today’s loss.
Susan immediately said, “It’s okay. After you hacked into my phone, it also clarified a few things. When my brother and I went shopping the other day, Keira probably saw us, leading her to assume our relationship incorrectly. Is that right?”
Susan looked at Peter with a very understanding gaze. “Peter, many scenes in filming are shot through forced perspective photography. The misunderstanding between me and Keira is created just like that.”
James coughed. “Yeah, yeah, since things have been explained, we are all alright now! Let’s consider this matter resolved!”
Charles also played the peacemaker. “Miss Simpson won’t hold it against my cousin, right? She was just worried that Peter might be deceived…”
Susan lowered her head. “Don’t worry. As long as Keira can clear my name and clarify things, that would be the best for me. I won’t, and I wouldn’t dare, to make an issue of it with her… She’s the Olsen family’s treasure and the darling you all waited so many years for…”
Her words carried an air of grievance.
It wasn’t about not holding a grudge but not daring to.
Peter immediately felt sympathetic. “If Keira has done something wrong, there should be some gesture of apology. Look, our wedding is coming up soon; why not let Keira give her future sister-in-law a wedding gift as an apology?”
He said it casually, but Susan turned to look at Keira. “Is that okay? Actually, I still haven’t found a wedding dress. When we were at the bridal shop today, we fell in love with their store’s treasure, but upon inquiry, we found out that Mr. Horton had reserved it, saying it was prepared for your wedding… When are you planning to get married?”
Keira frowned.
Was Susan using the wedding dress to fish for information?
She and Lewis were indeed engaged, but the two were not going to get married, as Lewis and Keira were already legally husband and wife!
So, this engagement was real, and the wedding would take place in the future, but they would not go through the registration process again.
These were details unknown to outsiders.
But… her third mission was to form an alliance with Scott Martin. If she held a wedding with Lewis, she would give up that third mission.
Was Susan asking on behalf of Fox?
Keira pondered for a moment before simply replying, “We’re not in a rush.”
Susan immediately said, “If it’s not urgent, then can I wear that wedding dress first? I love it so much! It’s so dreamy! Wearing it makes me feel like a princess!”
Keira was perplexed.
Lewis ordered the wedding dress for her, so why should she let Susan wear it?
If Susan wore it first, and then what?
Would Keira wear it again for her own wedding?
Though Keira didn’t mind superficial things, something that belonged to her shouldn’t just be given away for nothing!
Her expression turned darker.
Seeing this, Susan immediately looked at Peter. “Peter, did I… say something wrong again?”
Peter wanted to nod, but facing Susan’s tearful appearance, he couldn’t express his thoughts.
He remembered that Keira had just hacked into Susan’s phone…
Peter was a man with a protective instinct toward his girlfriend…
He turned to Keira and said, “Little sister, Susan really loves that wedding dress. Could you let her have it?”
Peter knew what he was asking was too much, so he immediately added, “I will contact someone right away to customize a better one for you! Susan and I are in a hurry for our wedding. We’re planning to get married in a week, and there’s simply no time for haute couture… We really can’t find any other suitable one… Let the wedding dress be your way of apologizing to Susan, okay? Consider it a favor that I owe you.”
