“I think it’s a good idea.”

James answered seriously.
Victoria was dumbfounded.
She subconsciously looked toward her uncle, only to hear Uncle Olsen say, “I remember you own
properties under your name, right?”
Victoria was shocked!
She felt like she’d yed herself!
She hurriedly started to speak, “No, Uncle, I…”
“I have one, you can stay at my ce for the time being!”
James interrupted her.
Victoria was speechless.
It was the first time she felt the pain that the simple-minded man could bring!
She bit her lip, about to say something when James patted her shoulder. “Even though you are our
foster

sister, you don’t have to feel embarrassed. After all, we
grew up together. My house is your house, so feel free to stay as long as you like!”
Then he turned, eyes shining toward Uncle Olsen. “Uncle, shall I tell Keera tomorrow that Victoria has
left so she can move back in?”
Uncle Olsen said, “…you go ahead.”
He was too tired to deal with this foolish nephew and simply entered the house, ncing back at
Victoria before he entered. “Ask Carmen to help you pack your
bags.”

He clearly wanted to drive her away overnight!
Victoria took a deep breath, almost losing her bnce.
She clenched her teeth tightly, nodding after a while. “Okay, Uncle.”
Clenching her fists, she slowly entered her own room and started packing her belongings. Looking
around the room she had lived in for over twenty years, her eyes were filled with resentment.
Why?
Why should she be driven out just because that

pampered girl from the Olsen family returned?
What did the Olsen family think of her?
Tears began to gather in Victoria’s eyes as she spitefully took in everything around her.
She, Victoria, would surely return one day!
And she would return gloriously!!
The car soon arrived at the South family’s home.
Just as Keera entered, she saw Reba sitting in the living room, arguing with Samuel.
Samuel taunted her sarcastically, “Well, if it isn’t Miss Allen herself. Didn’t you refuse to cooperate with
my boss a while back? What brings you to our doorstep now? Aren’t you worried about sullying your
precious feet in my boss’s humble abode?”
Reba hung her head in the face of his sarcasm. “I… I didn’t mean to before…”
“That still wasn’t polite to my boss. I heard you even wanted my boss to leave Mary’s wedding,
threatening her by suicide? Miss Allen, the doors to the Allen

family are truly hard to enter!”
Reba’s face flushed red, and she stood up abruptly, bowing her head to Samuel.
That action took Samuel by surprise.
He immediately sprung up from the sofa. “What are you doing?”
Reba’s eyes were slightly red as she replied, “I failed to recognize Miss Keira before, I’m sorry!”
Samuel was dumbfounded.
He became ufortable immediately, even stuttering in his reply. “It’s okay, it doesn’t matter. I just
have a sharp tongue, don’t take it to heart…”
Reba nodded. “When you came to my house before, I even scolded you. I owe you an apology, I’m
sorry.”
“You’re wee, really, it’s nothing. Besides, you scold pretty nicely, so feel free to do so more often.
It’s alright.”
Reba was confused.
Samuel scratched his head.

As a veteran in the field of romance, this was the first
time he had encountered someone so fixated on the
truth, and he found himself at a loss.
Fortunately, at that moment, Keira and the others
returned.
He immediately felt as if he had been released and
rushed to Keira. “Boss, this is the coboration contract with the Allen family. I’ve brought it to you. If
there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now!”
Before leaving, he nced back at Reba.
Reba was staring at him. Seeing him turn around, she bowed again.
Samuel was so frightened that he tumbled and
scrambled out the door…
Keira didn’t know what to say.
When Lewis saw Reba, his brow immediately
furrowed.
Didn’t she go home a couple of days ago? Why was she back again?
Suspicious, he eyed Keira warily. Surely these three
women weren’t nning to stav un all night talking

Luckily, Mary was pregnant and not suited for staying upte…
Reba was a bit nervous. “I heard that Austin Gill has been trying to cause trouble for you. The
whole of nce is buzzing with talk that he beat you up… How was the family reunion feast today?”
The feast that night didn’t actually invite people from the five major families but just the Olsen family’s
own
members.
After all, Keira wanted to keep a low profile.
Keira assured her that everything went smoothly, and Reba breathed a sigh of relief. She then
continued.
“About Austin, it’s not really an issue. But after this ruckus, it might be difficult for you to cooperate with
the Gill family.
Although Reba didn’t understand why Keira would want to have rtionships with all five major
families, she still tried her best to help gather information.
Keira pressed her lips together.

Keera back at the Freeman Sect, just the rumors Austin spread about Mary had tarnished her
reputation. That grudge was set.
However…
“There’s always a way out. Let’s not talk about the Gill family for now. My primary goal is to join the
Freeman Sect first!”
After saying that, Keira looked at Reba, “If I were James’s sister, do you think James could get me
into
the Freeman Sect?”
Reba thought for a moment and nodded, “There shouldn’t be a problem. You might not recognize
James’s significance to the Freeman Sect.”
Since her return, Reba had already begun to gather information for her. “As a second senior
brother, James

is in love with Kate Freeman, the daughter of the Freeman Sect Leader, and they’re engaged. The
Olsen family and the Freeman family had long agreed that the first two children they bear would carry
the Freeman surname. So, unless that mysterious eldest
senior sister marries into the Freeman family, the position of the Sect Leader will likely fall to James.
The

Sect Leader must have the surname Freeman, and
that’s a fundamental rule of the Freeman Sect.”
Keira nodded.
Reba added. “So, as a second senior brother, James has a lot of say in the Freeman Sect. At the
very least, he can let you be a direct disciple of his Master, which would make you a legitimate
member of their lineage.”
Keira was relieved to hear this.
Time quickly moved to the next day.
Keira and James agreed on a time to meet at the entrance of the Freeman Sect.
James saw that it was still Lewis who had brought her over and immediately hesitated, ultimately not
saying anything, but leading Keira inside while speaking, “Victoria has moved out to live on her own.
When are you moving back in?”
Seeing his enthusiasm, Keira immediately said, “Maybe
in a while.”
James nodded, then smiled and said, “I called my Master yesterday, and he agreed. He even ns to

Keira was taken aback. “Isn’t this hasty? The discipleship ceremony is today?”
“Yeah, the Master is just taking you as a named disciple…” James spoke as they walked. “The rest of
us had very formal ceremonies except for our eldest
senior sister, who was taken as a disciple by the Sect Leader outside the sect.”
James said, “Sister, you’ve been in the outer sect for so many years, and it might be toote for you to
practice martial arts. So, there’s no need to hurry after bing a disciple. I’ll help you train at a
