Keira coldly looked at Susan, her eyes narrowing. Just as she was about to speak...

"Smack!"

A plate of food suddenly slammed into Susan's face!

Susan was completely stunned and looked incredulously at the person who did that.

Everyone turned to look at her as well.

Erin pulled out a napkin, wiped the grease off her fingers, and coldly said, "You're so gross! You put ginger water in all the dishes with your saliva in it. How can we eat this food now?"

Susan wiped the vegetable leaves hanging on her face, utterly infuriated. "The ginger water was just brought over. I haven't even drunk from it. How can my saliva be in it?"

Erin paused slightly, then patted her head. "Right, I forgot."

Then she looked at Susan. "Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I just got angry momentarily and thought you were making us eat your saliva..."

While she spoke these words, she imitated Susan's expression from just a moment ago, instantly darkening Susan's face.

Peter was also confused.

Originally, he couldn't tell that Susan was faking it, but Erin's deliberate bad acting made it obvious she was doing it on purpose. With this comparison, Peter immediately realized something.

He turned to look at Susan. "Did you do it on purpose?"

Susan immediately said, "No, Peter, it was an accident. When the ginger water was brought over, it was a bit hot. I couldn't hold onto the cup..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Keira scoffed.

She slowly stood up, looking at Lewis. "Can you hand me a bowl of soup?"

The two exchanged a glance, and Lewis smiled a little.

He picked up a bowl, filled it with soup, and handed it to Keira, who immediately took it. The moment she touched the bowl, she let go of it instantly.

The bowl of soup immediately dropped onto the table. Although the soup spilled out, it only soiled the area right before her.

With all the people in the family, the Olsens used a large, round dining table.

The soup spilled, but there was some distance from the other dishes on the table, so only the food in front of Keira got a bit splashed.

Keira looked at Peter. "That's how one reacts when holding something scalding. If you knew it was hot, why would you push the bowl away and spill it all over the table?"

Peter was taken aback and immediately looked at Susan.

Susan's face turned instantly pale.

She swallowed and looked at Keira in disbelief. "I... I didn't think. I just reacted out of my instinct..."

"Your instinct was to push it away? That's so different from other people's!"

Keira curled her lip and said nothing more.

Susan tensed up nervously.

She didn't expect that today, everyone would stand against her.

She immediately said, "I didn't do it on purpose. There must be some misunderstanding between us. How could I do this on purpose? You said you didn't like ginger, so why would I target you specifically? This is really just a misunderstanding!"

This time, before Keira could speak, James couldn't help but interject, "Susan, since you walked in, you've been deliberately targeting Keera. What's the issue between you two? Is what Keera said true?"

Erin immediately asked curiously, "What's that?"

"It's about that man she's supposed to fool around with! Since Keera saw it and told us, you've been intentionally targeting her! Other than that, I really can't think of any other reason!"

James blurted it out.

Erin's eyes lit up immediately, and she turned to Susan. "So, you've been messing around with someone else? And you got caught? No wonder... The moment I walked in, I felt hostility from you toward Keera!"

Susan shot back at once. "How could you tell? Don't be ridiculous!"

Erin retorted. "Call it a woman's instinct!"

Susan was speechless.

Seeing that she couldn't win the argument, she immediately glanced at Peter. "Peter, I don't care whether others believe me; I only care about you! If you don't believe me, I might as well leave!"

Peter frowned.

Susan picked up her bag, pretending to leave. Seeing that Peter still hadn't stood up, she lowered her head in a show of grievance. "Peter, can't you see my feelings for you? I could even give up my life for you! When you had that car accident, the car was leaking oil, and everyone said it would explode. I was the one who pulled you out. We both almost got blown up... I never thought we would come to this..."

The impact of those words was significant.

Sure enough, Peter stood up, took Susan's hand, and then turned to Keira. "Keera, I'm sorry about how things turned out today, but Susan is my lifesaver, so can we let this incident go?"

Keira tightened her jaw and scoffed.

Peter sighed. "Let's wait a few more moments. I'll ask the kitchen to make some new dishes."

After that, he led Susan into the kitchen.

James frowned once the two were gone. "This lifesaver trick works wonders. Next time Kate has some trouble, I'll save her. That way, she'll never give me a hard time again!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Charles said, "How can you curse Kate like that?"

James couldn't help but complain, "I'm not cursing her. It's just that Kate is way too fierce, like a tigress..."

While they joked, Keira looked toward the kitchen, sighing.

In truth, she had countless ways to kick out Susan, but what about after that?

Susan saved Peter's life, and he would forgive her no matter what.

Even if her relationship with that so-called brother really came to light, Peter might still be bound by this lifesaving deed.

Keira lowered her eyes, letting out a sigh.

Was there a way to solve this trouble for good?

She frowned.

Determined, she stood up and headed toward the kitchen.

Before she got close, she saw a maid standing not far away, watching Peter.

The maid looked about twenty-five years old, and Keira didn't think she had seen her around before. Perhaps sensing Keira's gaze, the maid immediately looked over. "Hello, Miss."

Keira nodded at her. "Are you new?"

The maid nodded.

Keira then asked, "Do you know my fifth brother from before?"

The maid hesitated, glancing at Peter, then said, "He seems familiar, like someone I rescued from a car accident a few years ago..."

Keira asked, "What did you say?"
