After exchanging a look, James couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

As "Keera's" older cousin, it was his responsibility to stand up for her!

Sure, her actions might've been a bit over the top, but she had her reasons. Besides, "Keera" was the only girl in the family—how could he just stand by and do nothing?

James made up his mind then and there. Even if it meant risking getting an earful from Uncle Olsen, he'd protect his cousin today!

He stepped forward and stood in front of Uncle Olsen, squaring his shoulders. "Uncle, if you've got something to say, take it out on me!"

Charles quickly added, "Yeah, count me in!"

But right after they spoke, Uncle Olsen said to "Keera," "You want me to publicly announce that we've cut ties? Let me tell you, I'm giving you four days. Four days from now, no matter what's happening on your end, I'll make sure you're back home, and I'll do it in style!"

James and Charles blinked in confusion. What?

James turned to look at "Keera," still puzzled.

She gave a resigned shrug. "Okay, Dad. I understand."

James's mind raced. Wait. "Keera" asked Uncle Olsen to kick her out of the house?

His mouth twitched as he looked back at Uncle Olsen, unable to resist asking, "Uncle, aren't you known for being super patriotic?"

Uncle Olsen's reputation in Clance was built on the respect everyone had for his principles. Being the leader of the five major families, the Olsen Group was always the first to answer national calls, never hesitating to contribute whenever they could.
