Uncle Olsen turned his gaze toward Keira, his eyes carrying a weight of expectation. "What's your view on this matter?" he asked, giving her the floor to speak her piece.
Keira understood instantly that this was her chance—not just to explain herself, but to stand tall before an audience that had already judged her. She took a slow breath and began, her voice steady and composed.
"I was blind in my youth," she admitted, "but now I've learned my lesson."
A scoff escaped her lips as she swept her gaze across the room, meeting the eyes of those who whispered behind her back. "A hero is not judged by the past, but by the future. There is a saying in Crera: 'A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold.' If a prodigal can return, why can't a woman do the same?"
Her words hung in the air like a thunderclap. For a moment, the entire room fell into stunned silence. Then, slowly, people began to process her meaning. She was right, wasn't she? Society always seemed to forgive wayward sons, praising them for turning over a new leaf. But when a woman stumbled, the world never let her forget.
Joseph's daughter, however, wasn't willing to let Keira off so easily. Her cheeks flushed with anger as she shot back, "Women lose too much in marriage! Do you think just by saying a few words like this, everyone will respect you? Ask around! Who here would want to marry you?"
That was the challenge. Uncle Olsen immediately scanned the room, his eyes moving from face to face. The Olsen family banquet wasn't a grand affair—it hadn't invited the five major families in haste. But there were still plenty of relatives by marriage, and quite a few eligible bachelors present.
When Joseph's daughter's question echoed through the hall, many men lowered their heads immediately. Who would want to marry a woman who had been married before and had a child? It was too troublesome! But others—those from less fortunate circumstances—suddenly saw opportunity glittering before their eyes. After all, this was the Olsen family's legitimate daughter! The gifts the Olsen brothers had just showered on her spoke volumes about her worth.
Just as some of these men were about to rise, they felt a chilling gaze—no, seven gazes—boring into them. One man turned and saw the seven Olsen brothers staring at him with expressions as hard as stone. They didn't speak, but their message was crystal clear: *The Olsen's legitimate daughter couldn't marry someone of *your* status.*
The man froze immediately, fear rooting him to his seat.
Those of lower status dared not move. Those of higher status had no interest. So when Joseph's daughter finished her challenge, not a single person stepped forward.
James grew frantic. He signaled desperately to his friends nearby, but they had their backs turned! He was speechless with frustration.
Desperate, he turned to Charles, eyes pleading. "What about your friends? Hurry up and stand up for our sister!"
Charles waved his phone, a grimace on his face. "Sent them a WhatsApp message, but not a single one is responding! Damn them!"
James didn't know what to do. At that moment, he wished he could master the art of disguise—just change his face and stand up for her himself!
The other brothers were equally agitated, but Ellis sat there calm as a summer breeze, which infuriated James even more.
"What's wrong with you, Ellis? Why aren't you worried?" he burst out.
Ellis picked up his wine glass and downed it in one swift gulp. "What's there to worry about? The Hortons aren't here yet."
Ah, yes. When the dowry arrived, everyone would know exactly which daughter of the Olsen family was to wed into the Horton family. And then, the tables would turn.
Uncle Olsen, in his wisdom, had allowed Joseph's daughter to berate Keira—not without purpose. He knew that Keira's past was a heavy shadow. In this circle, people didn't pity a love-struck fool; they only thought her foolish. If she wanted to earn their respect, she had to speak out, stand her ground, and show them steel under the velvet.
Joseph's daughter, seeing that no one had stood up, sneered triumphantly. "See? Someone of high birth would never fancy someone like her, a used woman! Keira, if you want to marry, there is indeed someone perfect for you!"
She turned to look at Victoria. Victoria immediately cast her eyes downward, avoiding the confrontation. But her fingers moved swiftly over her phone, typing a message.
Soon, footsteps echoed from the entrance. A man and an elderly woman appeared.
It was Howard—Keira's ex-husband—and his mother, her former mother-in-law.
Victoria's eyes twinkled with malicious delight. This was her surprise, her trump card to humiliate Keira at the family banquet.
Howard and his mother entered with eager smiles plastered on their faces. Howard's mother, especially, was utterly transfixed by the extravagant banquet. She had never seen such wealth and splendor. Her eyes darted hungrily over the food-laden tables.
Life had been harsh for them since the divorce. Before, Cindy would call her "mom" sweetly, but after the money dried up, Cindy's attitude changed completely. She quarreled with Howard's mother constantly. Howard did nothing but drink and smoke. Cindy had threatened to kick them both out.
Howard's mother missed the old days—when Keira worked tirelessly, cooked delicious meals, and never complained. She swallowed hard, resisting the urge to rush over and grab food, and followed Howard toward the main table.
Then she saw Keira. Her eyes lit up like a beacon. She lunged forward, reaching for Keira's arm. "My dear daughter-in-law, I've finally found you! That Cindy is no good. I was wrong. I apologize! Please take me back home!"
Keira looked at her coldly, a scoff escaping her lips. Then, instinctively, her gaze shifted toward Victoria.
Victoria's eyes flashed with guilt, quickly suppressed.
Uncle Olsen saw everything—the guilt, the manipulation, the cruelty. He frowned deeply, a heavy sigh escaping his chest.
That adopted daughter... perhaps they shouldn't keep her in the family anymore...

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
Oh, what a chapter! My heart ached for Keira as she stood there, facing an entire room of judgmental eyes, defending her worth with nothing but her words. And yet, she was magnificent—poised, eloquent, and unbroken. The parallel she drew between the "prodigal son" and a "prodigal daughter" was nothing short of brilliant. It cut through the hypocrisy like a blade.
But the drama! Victoria's bitter scheming, bringing Howard and his mother to humiliate Keira at the family banquet—that snake! And yet, I can't help but smile knowing that Uncle Olsen saw through it all. His silent judgment of Victoria was the sweetest foreshadowing.
This chapter was a masterclass in tension and redemption. Keira didn't win the crowd, but she won herself. And the arrival of the Hortons? Oh, I can already taste the sweet victory coming her way.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.9 / 5 Stars)
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
It's about to get explosive! Howard and his mother are going to make a scene, but I predict Keira will shut them down with cold, cutting precision. More importantly, the Horton family will arrive—and when they do, everyone will know exactly which daughter of the Olsen family is to marry into their prestigious house. The shock on Victoria's face will be priceless, and the tables will turn so fast, heads will spin!
Get ready for a glorious showdown, my friends!
