Chapter 532
Peter wavered.

….
It wasn’t that he truly harbored any resentment toward “Keera”; it was just that, moments ago, when Susan suggested that “Keera” was willing to lend her wedding dress to Mary but not to them, he suddenly felt a sense of jealousy.

He and Ellis were both “Keera’s” brothers. How could she treat them differently?

And the difference was just too significant…

Peter tensed his jaw, his expression softening slightly, when Susan suddenly spoke up. She looked at Keera and said with a pitiful voice, “Keera, family members should understand and respect each other. I know you don’t like me, but could you please not treat Peter like this? He really likes you a lot. The days after you just got back, whenever he and I went shopping, he thought of getting something for you… Can’t you respect me for his sake?”

She lowered her head. “I won’t hold a grudge about you hacking into my phone. I just hope to get your blessing to marry Peter. Is that too much to ask?”

Peter then turned his gaze back to Keera.

Upon hearing this, Keera silently sighed.

She knew she had to express her stance today.

Just now, during the dispute between James and Peter, she realized that she had actually been weighing the pros and cons, even contemplating at one point whether to reveal the truth to Peter and muddle-headedly agree to this marriage…

But now, she understood.

All of her brothers meant well for her.

Even Peter, who was kept in the dark, was sincere. How could she remain indifferent?!

Keera took a deep breath and said decisively, “No.”

Everyone around was stunned, including Peter.

Keera turned to him. “Whether you believe it or not, I saw it in the mall that day. Her relationship with that so-called brother is dubious. What they did was beyond sibling affection. They were being intimate!”

James hurried in front of her, tugging at her arm. “Keera, do you have any evidence?”

“No,” Keera said confidently.

Immediately, James said with a mix of laughter and helplessness, “If you don’t have evidence, don’t say it so loudly.”

Charles also nodded. “Yeah, Keera, without evidence, don’t… don’t talk nonsense.”

Both men now looked at Peter.

Susan was enraged and confronted Keera. “Peter, I can’t tolerate this anymore. Keera, I know we’ve had our issues before, and that’s why you won’t let me marry Peter, no matter what!”

Even Keera herself was puzzled.

Susan bit her lip. “Is it because during college, you lost to me in the campus beauty contest?”

Keera didn’t know what to say.

She was entirely baffled.

That was the real Keera’s life, not hers. Keera didn’t know that Keera’s life intertwined with Susan’s once!

Susan bit her lip. “Back then, I won by a few votes, and it was said you were quite unhappy. When we met, the look in your eyes… It just wasn’t right. I thought you had forgotten, but are you slandering me now because of that? Keera, that was three or four years ago. We’ve never had any real conflict of interest, so why bother?”

Keera instinctively looked at Lewis.

Lewis had already picked up his phone and handed it to her. Updated novels on novelbin.com

Keera took it and saw that it was Keera’s college intranet page. Four years ago, Keera indeed competed with Susan for the title of campus beauty!

It wasn’t even an official contest…

Keera was speechless.

This Fox sure came prepared!

James and Charles, who could also see the screen, both glanced at Keera and then said, “We don’t think Keera is that kind of person.”

“Right, she’s married with kids now. Who would be that petty?”

James even added, “I had unpleasant confrontations with her when I didn’t know her identity. If she held grudges, I would be her least favorite brother. What’s your little issue compared to that?”

Susan nodded. “Exactly, what’s our little friction compared to all of that? Why can’t you just let me be happy with Peter? Keera, is it because I am a woman?”

Keera said, “I…”

“I don’t want to listen to your nonsense anymore!” Peter finally erupted with anger, glaring at Keera. “What more do you want?!”

He was panting as he scanned Keera. “I treated you as my own sister, but what about you? You can’t provide any evidence for what you said while Susan has all the evidence. How can I believe you?!”

Keera didn’t know what to say.

She clenched her fists.

In the next instant, Mr. Olsen’s furious roar came from upstairs. “Peter, how can you speak to Keera like that? You ungrateful thing! Come up here right now!”

Upon hearing this, Peter scoffed and then glanced at Keera before heading upstairs.

That glance carried disappointment…

It made Keera’s chest tighten slightly.

But before she could reflect on why, her phone suddenly rang, and she answered immediately. She heard the nanny’s sobbing on the other end. “Ma’am, please hurry home! The South residence… The South residence is on fire!! Amy and I are together. I took her out for a walk, but as soon as we got back, we found the house on fire, so I called the fire department. But Miss Mary is still in her room!!”

These words made Keera stand up sharply!!

Mary…

No! She couldn’t let anything happen to Mary!
