Ellis arrived in front of Howard.
Howard immediately bent over and lowered his head, with a pleasing smile on his face. âMr. Ellis, Iwent to the Olsen family to find Uncle Olsen but couldnât see anyone, so I came to look for you to trymy luckâ¦â
Ellis looked down at him. âWhat do you want from
me?â
âItâs like this. Last time in Oceanion, Uncle Olsen and I hit it off. Afterward, he even had my wife, Keera,help visit Mrs. Olsen, so my wife and I have a very good relationship with Uncle Olsen, and thereâssomething Iâd like to ask Uncle Olsen about. I wonder if Mr. E
could deliver a message for me?â
He sent a message to Uncle Olsen only to find out tha he had been blocked on WhatsApp a long timeago.
Ellisâs eyes narrowed. âWhat message?â
Howard smiled and said, âWeâre having a slight issue with our collaboration with Davis Corporation.Could I trouble Uncle Olsen or Mr. Ellis to step in, give them a
greeting on our behalf, and ask the Davis family to give us some more time? Just give us one moremonth, no, half a month and Iâll definitely submit the proposal!â
Ellis lowered his gaze, sneering/âAlright, Iâll deliver
your message.â
Having said that, Ellis got into his car.novelbin
Howard and Cindy didnât dare to stop him anymore, and Ellisâs car sped away.
After Ellis left, Cindy asked, âWill this work?â
Howard said, âLast time Keera helped Uncle Olsen a great deal, and afterward, Uncle Olsen said wecould ask him if we needed anything. It should be no problem for such a small favor.â
The two talked and left the place.
After they were gone, Mary stepped out from the
corner.
She had just come down to the parking lot, not yet finding her car, when she saw Howard and Cindystopping Ellis, so she had secretly hidden on the side to eavesdrop.
If Ellis really conveyed the message to Uncle Olsen,
wouldnât that ruin Keeraâs plans?
With this thought, Mary hurriedly took out her phone, found Ellis on WhatsApp, hesitated for a moment,and then directly dialed his number.
The sky had already darkened.
At that moment, Ellis was reclining in a chair, his eyes closed, resting.
His mind was filled entirely with Maryâs delicate skin⦠endlessly tantalizing!
But when he thought about her words, ânot the first time,â Ellis could not help but scowl.
It was his first timeâ¦
If that was the case, wasnât he at a loss?!
He loosened his tie, feeling a bit irritated.
Just then, his phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at it and saw that it was Maryâs WhatsApp.
As for when he had added Mary on WhatsApp, he had no recollection, but Mary had been mingling intheir circles since she was young.
Rook than Maru ung still the granddaughter of the
Davis Familyâs patriarch and everyone would show her
some respect.
But after Maryâs grandfather passed away and the first branch took over the Davis Family, as Maryâsbranch gradually declined, she started to become more invisible in the circleâ¦
Thinking of this, Ellis answered the voice call.
He began, âWhatâs the matter?â
Maryâs voice came through, âDid you just say that as long as the requests I make arenât excessive,youâll agree to them?â
A mocking smile instantly appeared on Ellisâs face, âSo just now you really were playing hard to get?Miss Davis, thereâs really no need for you to play so
tricks in front of me!â
Mary was taken aback.
Ellis said indifferently, âSpeak.â
He thought Mary would ask him to marry her, to take responsibility for her, or take advantage of the
situation to get some benefits for her branch of the Davis Family or at least to solidify her position within
Davis Corporation. However, to his surprise, he heard Mary speak,
âCould you not help Howard and Keera?â
Ellis immediately furrowed his brows.
He let out a cold laugh. âThe favor youâre asking of me,
thatâs it?â
âYes.â
âCanât do it.â
Right after Ellis said those words, he hung up.
He was very angry.
The assistant beside him saw this and couldnât help saying, âMr. Ellis, Miss Davis also didnât knowabout Miss Keeraâs identityâ¦â
âEven if she is not Uncle Olsenâs daughter, is this the way to treat an ordinary friend?!â Ellis rebuked,then scoffed. âIf she really canât stand someone like Keera, then she should keep her distance. It wasMary herself who-got closer, and the result was just to embarrass Keera?! Is their friendship of over tenyears all fake?! If Uncle Olsen found out about Keeraâs identity and
Maryâs behavior, Iâm afraid Mary would no longer be
able to stay in Oceanion!â â
After this remark, the assistant was silent for a moment before saying, âMr. Ellis, are you still not going
to tell Uncle Olsen the truth about the DNA test?â
The question made Ellis frown.
The results of the DNA test had been out for a while.
Uncle Olsen had sounded so confident, and he actually believed Keera was Ellisâs dadâs illegitimatedaughter, which caused him to show his dad a cold face at home
for those two days.
Later, Ellis even got a good beating from his dad.
Who would have thought that the results would show, that Keera was Uncle Olsenâs daughter?
Ellis was stunned at the time.
He had planned to tell Uncle Olsen immediately, but after hearing the assistantâs report on Keeraâs life,Ellis
hesitated.
Unele Olsen had always been a proud man.
For so many years, not a single woman had caught his
eye, and he had once been asked, âWhy not find someone, just to have some company?â
Uncle Olsenâs reply was, âBlood ties arenât to be compromised with. Better have nothing than havesomething shoddy.â
If Uncle Olsen knew that his daughter had been living such a defeated life, being played around by aman from a small place, Uncle Olsen would probably be so angry heâd explode.
His glorious and majestic life would be ruined by his daughter, Keera!
Therefore, Ellis hadnât gone to see Uncle Olsen for a long time and hadnât reported the matter.
And Uncle Olsen was out there looking for traces of Mrs. Olsen, so the two of them hadnât seen eachothe
since that day.
Ellis sighed. âLetâs not talk about this for now. Iâm afraid Uncle Olsen might get so angry it harms him.â
The assistant asked again. âThen, this matter⦠do we
intervene?â
Ellis tensed his jaw.
7d
He actually felt like not intervening, thinking it would be quite good just to let Howard abandon Keera. Itmight even cure this cousin of her love-sick brain.
Yet he also felt that this was his cousinâs own choice.
The Olsen familyâs tradition had always taught them since childhood to act according to their ownhearts, and the family elders never did things just because they felt âItâs good for you.â
Instead, they only asked, âWhat do you want?â
So, if Keera loved Howard so deeply, Ellisâs choice would be to help her pressure Howard, to makehim. afraid to ever divorce. After all, the Olsen family could protect her for a lifetime!
Just as he thought about this, his phone buzzed because of WhatsApp again, and it was still from Ma
With a decision forming in his heart, Ellisâs tone became a few degrees colder. âMiss Davis, are youdoing this just to hit back at your good friend Keera?â
Mary hurriedly said, âNo, I want her to get a divorce.â
Ellis snorted. âYou want her to get a divorce, but does she want it herself? Do you not know that suchstrong
SAI
opinions forced onto another person are actually very annoying?â
Mary was infuriated by his words. âHow do you know
she doesnât want to?!â
