My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！ - Chapter 403
Chapter 402
Uncle Olsen usually stood aloof from the world, rarely mingling with other people.
….
At that moment, the one speaking to him was an old friend from childhood. The question asked piqued his interest, so he replied, “Be patient. Wait for everyone to arrive, and I’ll introduce you to someone.”
A group of people immediately burst into laughter. “Alright, with such a grand momentum, we’re all waiting for your good news!”
By the entrance, Victoria listened to this conversation and glanced at her other brothers, noticing that their expressions were somewhat displeased.
She immediately looked toward James and whispered, “James, does everyone dislike Keera that much?”
“Yes,” James sneered. “Of course!”
Victoria asked excitedly, “Is it because she kept a gigolo after getting divorced?”
“That’s right!”
James continued with a dark face. “Even you know about this!”
“Even?” Victoria was perplexed.
James sneered. “With her behaving this way, is she doing right by Uncle Olsen?”
Victoria was confused.
She looked at James in bewilderment, wondering why Keera had wronged Uncle Olsen.
Had she wronged Uncle Olsen’s kindness in raising her? Indeed, she should have sought Uncle Olsen’s consent first before dating someone else…
Believing that was the case, Victoria nodded. “Right, she has wronged Uncle Olsen terribly!”
James and the other brothers exchanged glances and immediately turned their attention to Ellis. “Ellis, you stay here to welcome the guests; we’ll go in and entertain them, as quite a few have already arrived!”
Ellis didn’t think much of it and simply nodded. “Go ahead.”
His response gave the six brothers some liberty, and they promptly entered the banquet hall.
James first looked toward “Keera” and Mary…
Both were keeping a low profile, and “Keera” even wore a black gown, walking discreetly around the corners of the banquet.
Charles couldn’t help but say, “Do you see? She does look quite pretty, and for some reason, she even seems approachable. How did she end up doing something to wrong Uncle Olsen?”
James scoffed. “Appearances can be deceiving; that’s just who she is! Back at Freeman Sect, she almost fooled me!”
The other brothers also chimed in.
“What do we do now?”
“Have a chat, and make her either leave that gigolo or leave this banquet hall. How about that?”
“Exactly, we can’t let Uncle Olsen become the laughingstock of Clance!”
Charles then added. “I have a little idea!”
Everyone immediately looked at him.
Charles raised his eyebrows. “What do you all think about this? Shall I acknowledge her as my foster sister? That way, Uncle Olsen surely wouldn’t have to introduce her as our future aunt, right?”
James’s eyes lit up. “That’s smart! Why didn’t I think of that?”
“That way, this banquet will have a purpose, and we won’t be embarrassed!”
“But will she agree to become your foster brother?”
Charles immediately said, “She’ll definitely agree. Once she acknowledges me, she’ll be the Olsen family’s foster daughter, and there are plenty of benefits to that!”
After saying this, he walked up to Keira.
Keira was holding a plate, lingering in the buffet area, feeling quite hungry, which was an inherent issue with banquets like this.
The shelves were filled with all sorts of fancy items…
Keira picked a cookie and was about to find Mary when she saw Charles standing in front of her. He then crossed his arms, snickered, and said, “Let me ask you. If I acknowledge you as my sister, would you be up for it?”
Keira was perplexed. She raised an eyebrow and followed Charles’s gaze to look at the group standing not far away, headed by James and the other five brothers. Then she chuckled softly, saying indifferently, “Alright then.”
Charles’s eyes lit up. “I knew you’d know how to choose, so tell Uncle Olsen later. Don’t let him announce that you’re his future wife, got it?”
The Charles in front of her seemed to be not much older than she was. Right now, his gaze toward her carried a hint of naive bewilderment. Keira found that the boys in the Olsen family were all quite innocent… The Olsen family had a good upbringing. She lowered her gaze. “Sure!”
Seeing how readily she agreed, Charles was somewhat surprised. “Are you serious?”
“Yes.”
“Alright, it’s a deal then!”
Charles ran back excitedly, and Keira, holding her plate, waved at the six gourd brothers before lingering in the dining area.
“How did it go?”
“How did it go!” As soon as Charles returned, everyone immediately started to ask. After Charles relayed Keira’s response, everyone became excited. “That’s really great!”
Charles even said, “Ellis, I think Keira is pretty nice. When I was chatting with her just now, she looked so cute when she smiled!”
James scoffed. “You naive kid. Don’t be fooled by her looks!”
The group was laughing and joking…
After Keira ate a few cookies, she wanted to continue, but Mary stopped her. “We’re going to eat later, why are you eating so many cookies now? Won’t you eat your meal later?”
Keira was surprised. “We’re going to have a meal?”
Mary nodded and pointed to a nearby private room. “This is the buffet area, but there’s also a seating arrangement…”
Then she pointed to the seat at the main table. “As Uncle Olsen’s daughter and the guest of honor today, you’ll be eligible to sit at the main table.”
Keira was surprised. She had thought these cookies were dinner, but it turned out wealthy family banquets were so elaborate!
After waiting a bit longer, the others gradually began to move toward the banquet area. Keira accompanied Mary first to her seat at the second table. As Ellis’s wife, she held a place there. Keira then looked for her own seat, checking the cards on the table.
Just as she turned around, she saw a group from the Olsen family approaching. Victoria was among them, following James and the others. When she saw Keira, Victoria immediately looked toward James. “James, is Keira sitting at the main table tonight?”
Upon these words, everyone’s attention swiftly turned to Keira. Even Victoria was clutching her fingers tightly. She feared that once Keira returned home, she might instantly leapfrog over her to become the most prestigious daughter of the Olsen family. Thus, this was her laying a trap. She hoped to have James announce her seating in front of everyone.
James glanced at Keira and sneered, then looking down, he said flatly, “Of course not. The main table is reserved for the elders. As for Keira…”
James surveyed the scene. Today, he was in charge of entertaining guests and arranging the seating. He pointed to the third table right away. “Take a seat there! It’s appropriate for your status and position.”
Mary furrowed her brows. “James, how can you arrange it like this?”
