775 Chapter 774
Keira was a little startled when she received the call.
The Gill family had already reached out the moment they heard from Ryan about continuing their collaboration, so why was Ryan calling now? Had he figured out she'd manipulated him?
As she wondered about this, she coughed lightly and glanced at Lewis.
Truth be told, it was her first time pulling off a scheme like this, and she felt a little guilty.
Lewis, noticing her hesitation, took the phone from her hand, giving her a side-eye. He didn't say a word, but the look in his eyes was clear: Really? You're nervous over this?
Clearly, Lewis was a seasoned veteran in the business world.
Calm and collected, he put the phone on speaker. Ellie's bright voice came through, “Ms. Olsen, you saved my brother and me! Our family would love to visit you to thank you in person and clear up any misunderstandings. Would that be alright?”
Keira heard every word, as did Lewis, who kept the call on speaker
She raised an eyebrow, about to respond when Erin suddenly appeared behind her and shouted, “No way!”
Ellie responded immediately, “I'm asking Ms. Olsen, not you!”
Erin scoffed, “Really? Since when were you and my cousin so close?”
“Your cousin? You're from the South family. What's that got to do with her?”
Erin sneered, “She and I are related. You tell me, what do you think that means?”
Ellie paused for a second before ignoring Erin altogether and focusing back on Keira, “So, Ms. Olsen, we'll come over tomorrow at noon. Our whole family.”
Before Erin could cut in again, Ellie hung up.
Erin huffed and turned to Keira. “Honestly, how rude is she? I mean, they haven't even gotten our permission, and she's acting like they're already invited over.”
Keira gently reminded her, “Technically, this is the Horton residence…”
Erin waved it off, “Well, that's irrelevant. You're married to Lewis now, so what's his is yours, and what's yours is mine, right? By blood, you're still my cousin!”
Keira rubbed her forehead, feeling a little exasperated.
Lewis narrowed his eyes slightly and turned to the butler. “Prepare the house. We'll have guests tomorrow.”
At the Cobb residence.
Ellie hung up and turned to Ryan with a big smile. “Done! They're more than happy to have us over.”
Ryan raised an eyebrow. “That's not how it sounded from the conversation I just heard.”
Ellie shrugged. “Whatever, the point is, are you coming or not?”
