Mary listened to her parents and scoffed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Just then, Wayne said, âYou are so naive. Mary dares to deceive the Olsen family, do you think theOlsens are pushovers?!â
He stepped forward. âI think you should beat your daughter and the bastard in her belly to death, thengo and apologize to the Olsen family! Maybe then the Olsens wonât hold the Davis family accountable!â
Upon hearing this, Mr. Davis was dumbfounded. âIsnât it enough to just terminate the pregnancy? Maryis an adult after all!â
Mrs. Davis also said, âYes, Mary is our daughter after allâ¦â
Wayne sneered. âThere are plenty of daughters in the Davis family, but Mr. Ellis is the future heir to theOlsen family! You really are laughable, thinking you can still bargain with the Olsens?â
Mrs. Davis immediately shouted, âMurder is illegal! At least give the child a way out!â
Wayne roared at them. âI should give her a way out? When she was deceiving people, why didnât shethink about leaving us a way out?! Do you know how the first branch of the family will hold meaccountable for this?!â
He turned to Mary and raged. âYour uncle from the first branch of the family has made some privatedeal with the Olsen family to marry you off to them, what about you? Here you are, leading us on! The
bastard is someone elseâs⦠huh, your Uncle Ken and I thought Ellis didnât want to take responsibilityfor you, turns out we were the ones who got played! Mary, how can you be so shameless?!â
After saying that, he stepped forward and reached out his hand, intending to hit Mary!
Mary grabbed his wrist and pushed him away.
Wayne glared at her and cursed, âHow dare you be so disrespectful to your elders? You even dare toraise a hand against me!â
Mary stared at him. âThe Olsens havenât said anything yet, and youâre already making a fuss here! Howdo you
know the child isnât Ellisâs?â
Wayne sneered. âThat medical report is real, the doctor has testified, Are you still being stubborn?Mary, you really are bringing shame to the Davis family, You must give us both families anexplanation!!â
Keira and Lewis walked over, frowning.
Keira stepped in front of Mary. âMary, donât be afraid.â
But Mary stood by Keiraâs side with a stern face, no longer the compromising demeanor she once hadwith her parents.
Mary glared at Wayne. âDonât worry, I wonât affect you, nor will I affect the Davis family! From today on,Iâm no longer a member of the Davis family!â
No sooner had she said this than Wayne responded, âThatâs your saying! You canât take anything fromthe Davis family, including the dowry the Davis family once gave you!â
Mary clenched her fists.
She looked at Wayne and her parents, recalling that in the Davis family, the only person who was everkind to her, who had even a bit of affection for her, was perhaps Ken, her uncle from the first branch.

Initially, Ken had staged a whole scene at the hotel just to force Ellis to marry her⦠Although there wassome manipulation involved, Ken had been relatively good to
her.
At least Ken had never used her face for anything.
She gave a bitter smile. âFine, the Davis family has nothing to do with me!â
Only then did Wayne breathe a sigh of relief, and Mr. Davis and Mrs. Davis frowned upon hearing thisbut ultimately said nothing.
At that moment, several cars suddenly arrived.
The first car bore Mr. and Mrs. Olsen and Ellis!
From the car behind them, Ken emerged.
Ken approached Mr. and Mrs. Olsen with an apology, and as the younger generation, Ellis stayedslightly behind. Upon getting out of the car, he looked at Mary with an indescribable gaze, thenclenched his jaw without speaking.
Ken was apologizing to Mr. and Mrs. Olsen. âThis incident is my fault for not investigating thoroughly,but we should still clarify matters between the
youngsters⦠Mary is the Davis familyâs child, and the Davis family wonât shirk responsibility. Letâs thinkof a solution together, see how we can diminish the scandalâs momentum, and minimize its impact onOlsen Groupâs stocks.â
Mr. and Mrs. Olsen both had stern faces.
Although they were both rational people who never interfered in affairs, as members of the Olsenfamily, they demanded respect.
Since when had they been deceived to such a degree?
Mrs. Olsen thought of the time when the rumor started, and Ellis immediately brought abortion pills toMary, and as it turned out, this was the issue!
With this in mind, Mrs. Olsen turned and glared at Ellis. This foolish son of hers had been wearing acuckoldâs horns without a word and foolishly helping Mary to cover it up.
The matter needed to be handled well.
Hadnât Ellisâs third brother never married or had
children? There were plenty of brothers in the family,
so it wouldnât matter because later on, his own
brotherâs children could take care of him!
But to have things blow up to this extent, what a mess!
Mrs. Olsen felt wronged for Ellis, so when she approached Mary, her expression turned sour.
She looked at Mary. âMary, ever since you married into our family, my husband and I have been goodto you, how could you deceive my son like this? Who is the father of the child?! Today, you must giveour family an explanation!â
