Chapter 437
Lewis looked over. “Is there a problem?”
Keira furrowed her brows. “I trust Mary, so since Mary could get pregnant, then Ellis’s report must be problematic…”
Lewis frowned. “What could be wrong with it?”
Keira looked at the report. “I don’t know, I’m not familiar with this area. Let’s hurry back home. I’m afraid Mary will be heartbroken if she sees it.”
“Okay.”
Lewis drove, and they quickly returned to the South residence.
As they arrived at the entrance, they saw a large crowd gathered at the front door, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the Davis family.
At that moment, Wayne stood at the entrance, angrily staring at Mary, and demanded, “Is this child really Ellis’s? What on earth is going on!”
Mary looked at them, her fists clenched tightly. “Uncle,
this is between me and Ellis. It has nothing to do with
the Davis family!”
“How is it unrelated?!”
Wayne sneered. “If this child is a lie, then we, the Davis family, have offended Ellis, and you’ve doomed us!”
Wayne’s eyes darkened as he stared at Mary.
Ever since their family had split, they were no longer part of the Davis family’s direct lineage, and their living standards began to fall, so he had wished for his niece to marry Ellis.
Even though he had let her accompany men in drinking, he had never actually allowed her to sleep with anyone.
They had a daughter of their own, but still, he gave the
chance to meet Ellis to this most beautiful niece of his.
And what happened?
His niece wasn’t chosen, which was one thing, but then, on turning around, she somehow managed to hook up with Ellis by using god knows what methods.
It had caused his position in the company to plummet!
Mary was simply ungrateful and biting the hand that
fed her!
Since she married Ellis, their lives should have been on the upswing, but instead, because of his niece’s hatred for him, he was now worse off than before!
If only he had known his niece would turn out like
this…
He should never have introduced Ellis to her!!
And now…
Wayne took this opportunity, determined to take down. Mary!
He stared at Mary, took a step forward, and lashed out. “Say something! I’m telling you to speak up!” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Mr. Davis and Mrs. Davis had also arrived, both fixated on Mary, one anxious, the other filled with panic. “Mary, what on earth is going on? Is that report false? Why does the doctor say it’s true? If Ellis truly is infertile, then whose child are you carrying?”
Mary looked at the three people in front of her.
She suddenly felt her life was ridiculous.
At this moment, her dearest family members were
actually putting reputation first!
She closed her eyes in pain, and tears slid down from the corners of her eyes.
Mrs. Davis stepped forward and grabbed her by the shoulders. “Speak up! What’s going on with this child? If it’s not Ellis’s… our family is finished!”
After saying this, the corners of her eyes moistened.
Mary looked at her and gave a bitter smile. “How
would it matter if the child is Ellis’s or not?”
No sooner had these words fallen, Mrs. Davis blurted
out, “How could it possibly be Ellis’s? No wonder I thought, from the engagement to the marriage, Ellis’s demeanor was all wrong, he was so reluctant… If it’s not his child, you have to get rid of it! How could the Olsen family ever allow you to keep this illegitimate child!”
Mary listened to these words and laughed mockingly.
She stared at Mrs. Davis and enunciated each word.
“This child is Ellis’s. I have never done anything to betray him!”
Mrs. Davis retorted. “If it’s his, then what’s that news
about? The Olsen family has yet to clarify, and their
stock has already fallen! Mary, how can you still be so stubborn?! Do you know how much the Olsen family’s stock has dropped? That’s a lot of money! Even if we – sold our house, we couldn’t pay it back!”
She was on the verge of tears. “If the relationship between the Davis family and the Olsen family is destroyed, the first branch of the family will never let us off the hook! What do we do? What do we do!”
She was so anxious and was spinning in circles. She then suddenly grabbed Mr. Davis. “Should we just run away? Sell the house and leave the country!”
Wayne immediately said, “Run away? Impossible! You are the ones who will have to take the fall! If my brother blames us, your family won’t be able to handle
it!”
No sooner had these words fallen, Mr. Davis retorted, “It was Mary who deceived Ellis. What does that have to do with us? We really didn’t know about this… If
there’s blame, blame it on Mary, I’ll leave her here for
you!”
Upon hearing this, Mary’s pupils shrank sharply!
She was aware that her parents exploited her, but she never imagined they would use her to such an extent!
At a time like this, their first reaction was to abandon
her?!
She clenched her fists tightly and looked at them in disbelief. “Dad, Mom! How can you treat me like this!”
“How have we treated you?”
Mr. Davis glared at her. “It was because you were indiscreet and did such a thing!”
Mrs. Davis also looked at he., “Mary, you and Ellis were husband and wife for some time, so there must be some feelings there, right? We believe they won’t cut you off completely, so just go ahead and get an abortion. That way, you can at least give the Olsen family an explanation…”
