"The parking lot?"

Peter was slightly startled.

Susan quickly said, "She must be mistaken! I didn't drive a car yesterday; how could I possibly go to the parking lot?"

Keira said lightly, "Then it must have been someone else, right? After all, the woman I saw in the parking lot was getting cozy with another man."

Upon hearing this, Peter stiffened, and he immediately looked at Susan.

Susan hurriedly waved her hands. "Peter, that person she's talking about can't be me! I never went to the parking lot!"

"Is that so?" Keira smiled. "I also heard her mention she was going to give her boyfriend a watch. By the way, did you buy a watch?"

Susan's face turned even paler.

She had used Peter's card yesterday, so he would definitely know what she bought...

As expected, Peter's face was already turning dark.

Immediately, Susan glared resentfully at Keira, then let out a sigh. "Peter, I did buy a men's watch, but it was a gift for you! Have you forgotten what tomorrow is?"

Peter paused, "Our first anniversary?"

"Yes, that's why I bought you a gift..."

Susan glanced at Keira. "But now, thanks to Keera's misunderstanding, I have to tell you in advance to prove my innocence... Ah, there goes the surprise!"

Peter immediately looked at Keira. "Keera, you must have been mistaken! Susan is a good girl with a strict upbringing, and she wouldn't just fool around with other men."

Susan lowered her eyes. "Miss Olsen, now that you mention it, I remember I did see you at the mall yesterday. You were with a man in sportswear, right? Were you really shopping for a gift for Mr. Horton? How come it seemed like you were buying something for that boy?"

At these words, the faces of the other members of the Olsen family suddenly changed, and each of them coughed.

Susan continued. "Miss Olsen, I've heard from Peter that even after you got engaged to Mr. Horton, you kept a little boyfriend on the side. My family's discipline is rigorous; my parents are university lecturers, and I even have a curfew. I have to be home before ten o'clock every night... Why did you have to slander me like that?"

She looked plaintively at Peter. "Miss Olsen has the backing of the Olsen family, so she doesn't appreciate what she has, even with a fiancé like Mr. Horton. I'm not like that... Peter, you are the best man I've ever met. How could I possibly be interested in someone else?"

She had Peter floating on cloud nine with her praise, and with the trust he had in her over the past year, he immediately chose to believe her. He said, "Susan, don't be upset. Keera must have made a mistake. I won't doubt you! By the way, since tomorrow is our first anniversary, what do you want? I'll buy it for you."

Susan lowered her gaze, "I don't want anything. I'm not a materialistic girl. I just want you..."

Peter immediately nodded, "Okay, okay, no problem!"

When Keira heard this, she scoffed. "Actually, we could check the surveillance..."

The moment the words were spoken, Susan looked like she was going to cry. "Peter, does Keera really not like me?"

Peter immediately became serious. "Keera, stop saying that. I believe in Susan! Susan is different from you! And you..."

He took a deep breath. "I've said it before: You should be devoted and faithful. You shouldn't be fooling around like this. How can you face Mr. Horton with what you're doing?"

Keira frowned upon hearing this.

James, who was nearby, couldn't help but speak up, "Peter, that's enough! Keera has lived a hard life since she was young. Besides, the marriage alliance with the Horton family is a family matter. The Olsen family hasn't raised Keera, so why should she have to marry into another family for its sake? What's wrong with her having someone she likes? We can just call off the engagement with the Horton family if that's what it takes!"

Peter immediately retorted, "Then call it off! But you're not doing that; instead, she's out there flirting with other men. When we came in just now, we were criticized, and now so many people are doubting our family's integrity! Didn't you hear that?"

James became angry and wanted to retort but couldn't find the right words.

"Keera" was his sister; of course, he would be biased toward her.

Even if she really had done something wrong, as her brother, he should help her fix it. Why is there a need to lecture her like this?

James looked at Keira at once. "Keera, we indeed need to resolve this matter. It's one thing for people outside to talk about you, but as your brother in the Olsen family, I think you're in the wrong. Which one will you choose for those two men, the gigolo and Lewis Horton? After making your choice, we should then concentrate on one man!"

Keira was speechless.

She was literally at a loss whether to laugh or cry!

Just as she was about to speak, Susan cut in. "Keera, you're not clinging to the warmth of a man and yet reluctant to give up the distinguished identity of Mrs. Horton, are you? People shouldn't be so greedy!"

Keira rolled her eyes.

As she was about to speak, the noise from afar grew louder; soon, Charles ran toward them. "It's not looking good! Keera, that male friend of yours has come to the party, and everyone is accusing him! You better go and see to it. Ask him to leave. What you're doing is really going too far!"

Keira was perplexed.

In the distance, the person subjected to the commotion was actually Lewis Horton.

She suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

Was Lewis about to be driven out of his own home?

No sooner had Charles spoken than Susan said, "Keera, isn't that too much? Today is Mr. Horton's birthday, and you brought an outsider in. That's indeed inappropriate!"

Peter's brow also furrowed. "That's right, Keera, hurry up and send the man away. Don't make a scene! The Olsen and Horton families' reputations still matter!"

Susan couldn't help but continue, "Peter, I finally understand why Keera would frame and slander me! Indeed, she was afraid I would speak out about her shopping with that gigolo yesterday, so she attacked me first! How could you do such a thing, Keera? I'm Peter's girlfriend; I definitely wouldn't speak of such things!

"It's just that, Peter, the Olsen family really needs to be more strict with their upbringing. My parents taught me not to mess around... Keera has even brought the gigolo here. The Horton family is probably really going to be angry this time!"

Peter frowned. "Keera, what exactly is going on here? Did you ask him to come? If it was you, tell him to leave immediately! If not, I'll go and send him away! In any case, he shouldn't be here!"
