“Mary, I need a favor from you for my divorce.”

Once Mary read this message, her eyes brightened, and she immediately put aside her intention to block the sender, eagerly replying. “What favor?”

“Howard has been wanting to work with your company. Can you give the project to him?”

The breath that Mary had been taking smoothly suddenly became erratic!

Her eyes reddened with anger.

Was Keera thinking of her as a fool?

In fact, with just one word from her, she could give Howard the money. She didn’t even care about the profit from that project.

But why did Keera have to deceive her with such

tricks?

Mary’s fingers trembled with anger, and she started typing. “Keera, you’ve deeply disappointed me! I’m cutting ties with you!!”

After she composed the message and was about to send it, she saw that Keera had sent another message. “Then put a higher amount for the penalty in the contract, ten times is best. If the project fails, initiate the recovery of the penalty and sue the company. By then, Howard, not wanting to be implicated, will definitely leave the company, house, and Amy all to

me.”

Mary was dumbfounded.

She immediately deleted what she had sent and resentfully composed a new one. “Princess, your knight is ready and waiting. smiling_face.jpg”

Amy had already fallen asleep.

After sending that series of messages to Mary, Keira saw that Mary had withdrawn a message.

She asked, “What did you just send?”

Mary replied in a second. “Nothing. I sent it by mistake. I promise it’s nothing bad.”

Keira didn’t know what to say.

She shook her head and set the mobile phone aside.

Her divorce plan was just like the messages she sent Mary. She could have asked Samuel to handle it, but that would always leave traces.

Within Keera’s circle of friends, only Mary’s help would be the least conspicuous.

Next, all she needed to do was play the role of an idiot who was calm and patient despite her husband’s infidelity and mother-in-law’s abuse, focused only on her family!

With a smile tugging at her lips, she turned over and silently went to sleep.

The next morning.

After getting up, she took Amy to the early learning class and then took a taxi to Howard’s office… no, th should be Keera’s company, Keera South Technology Co., Ltd.

The company rented a small office in a building, with about ten employees inside.

When she arrived, Mary was already waiting for her in front of the building in her sports car, dressed in elegant designer clothes.

Upon seeing Keira, she immediately curved her lips

into a smile. “Keera, how do I look today? I hope I’m not embarrassing you with this outfit?”

Keira replied with a thumbs-up and a smile.

The two entered the building together and approached

Howard’s office.

Before they could open the door, they heard embarrassing noises coming from inside.

Keira’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Howard’s lover, Cindy, was his secretary, and the two of them had hooked up in the office. Right now, they were on the sofa, shamelessly canoodling.

Cindy’s skirt was hiked up to her waist.

Howard’s pants were also down to his knees…

The moment Keira opened the door, she saw Cindy’s bare back…

Startled by the sound, they both jumped and hurriedly dressed. Howard turned furious upon seeing Keira. “Keera, who let you in?!”

Cindy also had no shame at being caught in the act.

After getting dressed, she took a look at Keira and said with a mix of sarcasm and mockery, “Madam, don’t be angry. It’s not what you’re thinking between Mr. Smith

and me…”

Keira didn’t know what to say.

She wasn’t blind!

Seeing her silence, Cindy went on. “It’s all my fault. I seduced Mr. Smith. Don’t blame him…”

As Cindy spoke, she glanced at Keira but saw that the woman’s expression remained unchanged, showing no hint of pleasure or anger.

She was suddenly at a loss for words.

Wasn’t this the moment for Keera to slap her?

However, if Keera didn’t slap her, she would take

matters into her own hands..

Cindy reached out her hand and slapped herself before looking up with teary eyes. “Ma’am, I realize my mistake… please don’t look at me like that…”

Howard, though, had already charged over and pushed Keira aside. He held Cindy and said angrily, “Keera,

what are you doing? She’s carrying my child. If

anything happens, I won’t let you off the hook!”

…

Keira silently watched them, feeling beyond words.

What had she done?

That little schemer had been talking the whole time, and she hadn’t said a word.

She twitched the corner of her mouth, lowered her head to hide the mockery in her eyes, and spoke in a soft, weak voice. “Howard, I’m here because Mary wants to collaborate with our company…”

At these words, Howard finally noticed Mary standing behind Keera, and he was momentarily taken aback.

Mary was glaring at him, wanting to scold him, but fearing she might mess up Keera’s plan, so she threw contract at him. “Stamp it and sign it!”

Howard immediately took the contract with a smile on his face. “Miss Davis, you and Keera have reconciled?”

He glanced at the contents of the contract; it was for a new energy cooperation research and development project.

Their company’s research personnel had to provide research results for Mary’s company in one month. If they failed to complete it on time, they had to pay a penalty of ten times the amount, about twenty million.

This clause was deliberately made as an invisible condition, which non-professionals wouldn’t be able to

discern.

Howard glanced over it casually and delightedly signed his name with the company’s seal.

Then he grinned. “Miss Davis, you should come over to the house more often. Keera, really, how could you block Miss Davis over such a trivial matter? You’ve been good friends for so many years…”

Mary snorted but didn’t speak.

Keira looked at Howard; hesitating to speak. “… You haven’t come home in several days, and Amy misses her daddy.”

Howard immediately laughed. “I’ll come home tonight to have dinner with Amy. Alright, you can go now!”

Keira gave Cindy a “triumphant” look, then “reluctantly” left with Mary.

Once she left, Cindy started to get unhappy. “Aren’t you staying with me tonight?”

Howard said bluntly, “I was just appeasing her in front of Mary. Can’t you tell? I haven’t been home for a few days, and Keera is already thinking of ways to please me… With the Davis family’s collaboration, our company can make a few million a year!”

Cindy then became happy. “I knew it. You’re the best…”

“Of course…”

Howard touched her waist, his eyes gradually

becoming lecherous. “They’ve left, shall we continue?”

Mary, on her way downstairs, couldn’t help but want to vomit. “That was disgusting! Is he really going home tonight?”

“He won’t.”

Keira replied.

Meanwhile.

282 Whose Daughter?

Uncle Olsen didn’t go to the Olsen Group. Ever since Jodie South went missing, he had promoted Ellis,

handing over the corporate affairs to the young man

in advance.

As for Sam, aka Uncle Olsen, he devoted all his energy to searching for traces of Jodie.

Unfortunately, up to now, there had still been no leads.

Upon hearing what Ellis had said, he frowned and

stretched out his hand. “Give it to me.”

Ellis placed the report on Sam’s desk.

Sam glanced at it and froze slightly. “She really is the Olsen family’s daughter!”

Ellis nodded, then continued. “I asked the doctor, and

although she’s not my uncle’s daughter, the match is very high. She must be my uncle’s niece.”

Sam was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, “Not your uncle’s? Your uncle was the most dashing in his youth in our family…”

09.13

Sam had Ellis do a DNA test for Keera and his second brother, thinking that Keera might be his brother’s illegitimate daughter.

Ellis then asked, “If she’s not your uncle’s, whose could she be? You only have two brothers…”

Hearing that, Sam immediately looked toward Ellis.

Ellis was taken aback. “Why are you looking at me like

that?”

Sam then said, “Could it be your dad’s?”

“Pfft…”

Ellis nearly lost it and said, “That’s impossible! My parents love each other so much! Don’t talk nonsense

here.”

Sam looked at him and remained silent, but his eyes

were filled with pity.

Unable to resist, Ellis said, “Uncle, have you never considered that she might be your daughter? She also has the surname South, and the Mrs. Olsen you are

searching for has that surname as well… It isn’t a common surname, you know?”

“It’s impossible.”

09.13

Sam spoke with absolute certainty. “I’ve told you before, I know whether I’ve done that sort of thing. Since Keera isn’t your uncle’s, then she must be your dad’s. Go do another DNA test. Our family’s daughter can’t be left out in the cold. And it seems like she’s not living well. If she really is your half-sister, you should help out where you can. After all, our family needs a daughter!”

Ellis was speechless.

He twitched the corner of his mouth and finally walked out of Uncle Olsen’s room, silently making his way to his own parents’ place.

Could Keera really be his dad’s illegitimate daughter?

Thinking of his father’s henpecked demeanor, he still

found it unbelievable.

Ellis then turned back to glance at Uncle Olsen’s study, suddenly smiling as he took out a strand of hair from

his hand.

“Since my dad is under suspicion, Uncle Olsen could also be a suspect, so why not test both to clear things up?”

Ellic entered his father’s room again took hig

toothbrush, and handed everything to his assistant to

send to the testing center.

The secretary suddenly said, “Mr. Ellis, I think I saw

Lewis Horton in Clance.”

Ellis was a little stunned, then smiled. “How is that possible? He has a trauma about Clance. He wouldn’t come here. You must’ve seen someone else!”

But the secretary was puzzled.

Could that be the case?

Ellis then asked, “How’s the matter I asked you to look into going?”

The secretary, upon hearing this, promptly handed the researched information over to Ellis. “We’ve found

some information. This Keera’s birth mother is unknown, and seems like she’s an orphan. Her adoptive parents are middle-class, and Keera is quite ordinary herself. She attended a second-rate school, fell in love, and married her college boyfriend. He married into her family, and she handed over the company management to her husband, Howard Smith…

The secretary paused here.

Ellis then said, “What about her?”

“She got pregnant and has been home taking care of her husband and teaching her child. She never went back to work again.”

Ellis stopped in his tracks. “What did you say? Her

parents raised her all the way through university just for her to become a housewife? Is her husband good to

her?”

The secretary cleared his throat. “Quite the contrary, according to our investigation, Howard had an affair not long after they were married. Unfortunately, Keera seems oblivious. Her friend Mary Davis told her about it, but she ended up blaming Mary for spreading

rumors…”

Ellis raised his eyebrow. “And then?”

The secretary went on. “Later, Howard said Mary always bad-mouthing him and convinced Keera to ties with her. It appears that Keera really did block

Mary.”

These words made Ellis’s mouth twitch. “Is she that stupid? To be manipulated by a man like this? Uncle Olsen said she had an easy-going personality, but does

this look like it?”

The secretary, thinking of the information uncovered, also felt it was unbelievable. “Something happened today. Do you know what it was?”

Ellis asked, “What?”

“That Keera seems to have reconnected with Mary somehow. Who knows how she convinced Mary, but they actually signed a partnership deal… It seems like Keera did it to try to make Howard come back to her…”

“I can’t believe it!” Ellis could hardly bear to listen any longer. “How can there be such a useless, incompetent, and foolish woman in this world?”

The secretary was equally perplexed, “If it’s truly unbearable, why not just divorce? She really is…”

Ellis took a deep breath. “Uncle Olsen has met all sor of people, and I never thought he’d misjudge someone one day.”

He said, “Such a woman better not actually be my real sister. That would be an insult to the Olsen family’s

intelligence!”

The secretary coughed. “It looks like Uncle Olsen

intends to acknowledge her and then bring her back

into the family…”

Ellis immediately stood up. “I don’t want such a relative! She’s simply too incompetent! Keep an eye on her, and when the DNA test results are out, don’t give them to Uncle Olsen. Give them to me first…”

“Yes.”

After the secretary left, Ellis showed a look of disdain. “That woman is just too stupid!”

Meanwhile.

“That woman is very foolish and extremely easy to manipulate!”

In the South family’s small villa.

Howard’s mother was sitting in the living room, holding Cindy’s hand and saying, “Cindy, don’t mind her. Once you give birth to the Smith family’s eldest grandson, I’ll make sure you’re brought into the family! If she doesn’t want to divorce then, we can just treat

her as a free maid in the house! She can look after You have no idea. Her cooking is so delicious!”

Cindy smiled. “Auntie, my cooking is delicious too.

No sooner had she finished speaking, she deliberately covered her mouth and pretended to gag.

Howard’s mother immediately said, “Don’t even think about it. You’re pregnant now, so how can you go into the kitchen? Let Keera do it. What do you want to

eat?”

Cindy looked toward Keera, who was tidying up the coffee table, and smiled. “I feel like eating fish. It’s just that fish takes a bit of effort to prepare…”

Keira hadn’t expected that Howard would actually come home that evening. He had brought Cindy with

him!

…Their shamelessness was beyond her imagination!

Howard’s mother had already yelled at Keira. “Did you hear that? Go make the fish already!”

283 Unfortunate Coincidence

Keira’s eyes dropped, her gaze a shield against the chill.

Indeed, she had to play the part of not wanting a divorce and being utterly compliant with Howard and Howard’s mother, but that didn’t mean she would let herself be so maltreated!

Cindy entering the family as boldly as she did was utterly shameless.

She looked directly at Howard. “The contract Mary gave you today, it hasn’t been stamped by her company yet, has it?”

These words made Howard stand up abruptly. “Keera, what are you implying? Are you threatening me?”

Keira still kept her gaze lowered. “No, it’s just that Mary has always had clear principles, and she’s been finding you disagreeable for quite some time. If she learns that you brought Cindy to the house, I fear it could cause a lot of trouble. Howard, you’ve been keeping a mistress out there, and I’ve endured it, but don’t push me too far…”

10:44

1/9

Howard had indeed brought Cindy home to test Keera’s boundaries.

In the past, when Keera knew about his mistress, she had only made a scene and cried once. She didn’t even dare to mention divorce afterward.

So, he decided to bring Cindy home to see if Keera would react as she used to. If so, he could outright bring Cindy into their home…

But he never expected Keera to actually use Mary to threaten him!

Howard wanted to say something but then thought of the major deal with Mary and sneered coldly at Keira before turning to Cindy. “Cindy, her fish isn’t tasty. Let me take you out to dinner!”

Cindy’s complexion immediately changed. “The food won’t be as clean. Pregnant women should have homemade meals.”

Howard’s mother immediately looked at Keira. “Keera, stop throwing a tantrum here. If you continue to be unreasonable, I’ll have Howard divorce you! And then you will never see Amy again!”.

Vairo still kant her hood down seemingly fragile and

putting on an aggrieved appearance. “Mom, Howard, this house was left to me by my parents, so no concubine shall set foot here. This is my final line!”

Howard’s mother suddenly shouted. “And what about the future, when she’s carrying the Smith family’s

child?”

Keira looked at them with a pitiable gaze. “The child may enter this house, but not this woman.”

Cindy snapped. “You…”

Howard immediately coughed. “Alright, Cindy, let’s go!”

Cindy wanted to say more, but Howard gave her a sharp glance.

Cindy cast a resentful look at Keira but then saw this delicate woman promptly shooting her a provoking glance in return.

In an instant, Cindy understood. Keera was declaring

war!

Ha.

Did she really think she could win?

It was just because she had snagged a deal with Mary

10:44

3/9

that Howard was being compliant. Once the contract was signed and the partnership fully established, she would see who really could be arrogant!

Cindy left reluctantly with Howard.

After they left, Howard’s mother scoffed. “Are you satisfied now? Now get on with the cooking!”

“…Okay.”

Keira looked utterly docile.

In the days that followed, she tried her best to play the part of a dutiful wife and daughter-in-law, cooking exquisite and tasty meals that fattened up Amy and

Howard’s mother.

When at home, Keira didn’t talk much but was very

diligent.

Sometimes she would even deliberately seek to please

Howard’s mother.

She overheard Howard’s mother talking to Howard on the phone several times. “Keera is taking such good care of me! Now I just do aerobics every day and nothing else. She’s much more sensible than before and even frequently tries to butter me up. I’m

10:44

thinking. After you divorce her, we could keep her around as a housemaid without having to pay her a salary. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

Keira just smirked.

It’s easy to transition from frugality to luxury, but hard to return to frugality from luxury.

In modern society, how could a normal daughter-in-law possibly take care of her

mother-in-law like this?

The more she did now, the more she would satisfy Howard’s mother, and the more comparisons there

would be once she divorced and Howard’s mother

lived with Cindy.

She could almost see the mess they would be in after living together…

A month passed by quickly.

In two days, the contract would expire.

Howard seemed utterly oblivious. His company was unable to deliver the technology, while he and Cindy lived blissfully in their little home outside.

“My lawyer is all ready. As soon as the day after

10:44

5/9

tomorrow comes, we’ll sue him!”

Mary said excitedly to Keira, then looked at her earnestly. “Keera, I’m asking you one last time. After a month of the cooling-off period, are you sure? Do you want to divorce him?”

Keira nodded. “I’m sure.”

“Good! I was really afraid you would go soft, using these tactics only to make him have a change of heart.”

Keira changed the subject. “By the way, why did you ask me to meet you here today?”

It was a private restaurant that was very quiet, and the decor made it clear that it wouldn’t be cheap.

Mary immediately raised an eyebrow. “Oh, I’m meetin a blind date here today, so I called you over to help me

check him out.”

Keira was perplexed.

She was a little stunned. “A blind date?”

Mary sighed, “Yeah, it’s a marriage alliance for business reasons! My family’s situation is quite complicated… My parents say this marriage is important, and the other party is of high status. He

wants

to pick a bride in Clance, and I’m one of the

candidates!”

She propped her chin with both hands, her whole demeanor showing a touch of listlessness. “Keera, sometimes I really envy you. At least you’re free to follow your heart. You married Howard when you

wanted to, whereas I…”

Her gaze drooped. “If the man today takes a liking to me, my parents will have more say at home.”

After saying this, she gave a self-deprecating laugh, then took out a makeup mirror from her bag to touch up her makeup before looking at Keira. “Do I look pretty today? Do you think that man will be impressed?”

Keira saw a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

She pursed her lips and said, “Yes, that man will

definitely be impressed with you!”

People from every social class have their own troubles.

Wealthy families were no exception.

Mary nodded. “I think so too. Among the female celebrities of Clance, my beauty ranks in the top five.

10:44

The men who pursue me could circle the earth. If he has any taste at all, he’ll surely be impressed by me!”

After saying this, she propped her chin again. “But I heard that they originally had no girls in that family. For the sake of the marriage, they chose two girls from the side branches to raise under the main house’s

name. It makes me think if I really marry into that family, I’ll have two hard-to-please sisters-in-law!”

She sighed silently. “Keera, if only you had a brother, I’d just marry him and become your sister-in-law!”

Keira asked, Who’s your blind date?”

Mary sighed helplessly. “He’s from one of Clance’s five major families and is the young master of the Olsen family, Ellis Olsen.”

Keira was dumbfounded.

Just as Mary finished speaking, the door suddenly opened, and Ellis walked in.

Keira watched as Ellis walked in and sat down at Table

8 not far away.

Mary watched from afar and immediately lowered her voice, anxiously saying, “See that man, Keera? The one in Table 8. How is he? He looks alright, doesn’t he?”

When Keira saw Mary’s cheeks flush, she remembered Ellis’s arrogance in Oceanion and coughed, saying, “It doesn’t matter what he looks like. Personality is key.”

Mary immediately responded with tension. “His personality is fine too. I went to a gathering before and faced some difficulties; he helped me…”

Her earnest justification made Keira immediately realize something and asked, “Do you like him?”

This past month, as Keera, she had come into frequent contact with Mary and had long noticed that this young lady was sharp-tongued but soft-hearted.

Mary’s ears turned red at this, and she said, “No, how could I be worthy of liking him? It’s just a blind date arranged by the family. I came to see if there’s any

10:44

1/10

connection!”

This stubborn facade…

Keira understood and smiled. “Yes, right, it’s just a blind date. Why don’t you go over there now? Don’t keep him waiting.”

Mary stood up awkwardly and walked over to Table 8, still adding a line to Keira. “I’m just going through the motions for my family.”

Keira shook her head in resignation at this.

She happened to have her back to Ellis, so he hadn’t noticed her presence.

It wasn’t until Mary circumvented the area that she approached Ellis.

Not knowing what to do with her hands and feet, Mary coughed and stood awkwardly next to Ellis. Then she started, “Mr. Olsen, hello, I’m Mary Davis.”

Ellis raised an eyebrow, nodding toward the chair opposite him as a sign for her to sit down, and then he eyed her seriously.

His gaze made Mary extremely nervous, and she couldn’t help but lower her head to inspect herself,

10:44

2/10

worrying about whether anything was amiss. While she was anxiously unsettled, she heard Ellis say mockingly, “So this is what you look like!”

Mary was stunned. “You know me?”

“Heard of you,” Ellis said indifferently. “I don’t think much of your family background, but I was curious to see what a foolish woman like you would look like. As expected, you’re just a vase with appearance.”

Mary was dumbfounded.

She frowned, and her fingers, hidden under the table, clenched tightly as a sudden pang hit her in the chest.

She took a deep breath, looking at Ellis with incomprehension. “Mr. Olsen, is there some kind of misunderstanding between us?”

“No.” Ellis blinked.

He wasn’t familiar with Mary; however, during the recent period of inquiring about “Keera”, he had heard too many ridiculous moves.

Mary’s own best friend was love-struck, but she didn’t stop Keera. She went as far as using her own family’s company to vie for a favor?

10:44

3/10

Ellis had always despised foolish, unprincipled people.

Mary’s actions had struck a nerve with him.

Therefore, in addition to his dissatisfaction with “Keera”, he also felt some resentment toward Mary,

Keera’s best friend.

How could he, Ellis, have such an idiotic cousin?!

Correct.

The DNA test results had been out for a while, confirming that Keera was indeed his cousin.

But Ellis didn’t want to acknowledge someone so foolish; thus, he kept it under wraps.

Today, upon hearing that his blind date was Mary, h couldn’t help but come over out of curiosity…

At this thought, he stood up abruptly. “You’re not suitable for me. I’ll pick up the tab for this meal; farewell.”

With that, he left straight away.

Mary still sat there, utterly baffled.

Indeed, she had a good impression of Ellis.

Ellis had saved her, and she knew that although he called the devil in Clance, he was a man of principles and loyalty.

At each gathering, she would hide in a corner, secretly gazing at this man.

Her crush was well concealed…

She never imagined she’d get a chance to have a blind date with him. Her feelings were very complex when she came here, which was why she called Keera over to help her calm down.

But what did he just say?

“I just wanted to see what such a foolish woman looked like. As I suspected, she’s nothing but an

empty-headed beauty, a vase with nothing but her

looks.”

Tears welled up in Mary’s eyes.

She was attractive but was always undervalued at home. No matter how capable or how much she

10:44

284 Good Impression

contributed to the family business, the elders still treated her as nothing but a decorative piece.

Even this opportunity to have a blind date with Ellis was only because the elders felt she was pretty enough to catch his eye…

She was humiliated by her family and now mocked by

Ellis as well.

She clenched her fingers tightly, and tears of shame welled up in her eyes.

But she immediately bit her lip hard and wiped the tear from the corner of her eye with a tissue before

standing up as if nothing had happened.

Keira sensed something was wrong and hurried over, “What happened?”

“It’s nothing.”

Mary clenched her fists. “He didn’t like me.”

“That’s his loss,” Keira immediately consoled her. “You’re beautiful, kind, and smart. He’s simply blind.”

Mary took a deep breath. “Yeah, Keera, let’s go. I have to report back.”

10:44

“…Okay.”

Mary drove the car herself and took Keira back home. As they were about to part, Mary seemed to have recovered, smiling as she said, “The day after

tomorrow, the lawsuit will definitely reach the

company.”

“Okay.”

Keira looked at her seriously, “Mary, thank you. If you have any trouble, remember to tell me.”

“I know.”

Mary waved her hand and started the car. On her way home, she took out her phone and called her financia advisor. “Is the twenty million I asked you to withdra a while ago ready?”

“It’s ready, Miss Davis. It’s the dowry your family gave you. Are you sure you want to use it now?”

Mary looked at the road ahead. “Yes.”

After all, Keera had been a housewife for a few years; she didn’t understand that decisions within a family company like theirs couldn’t be made by one person alone.

Since she was in charge of the new energy research

and development, it was possible to offer her a

cooperation agreement and to hold Howard’s company accountable as well.

But it seemed that Keera hadn’t fully thought through the subsequent matters.

After the divorce from Howard, all the debt would fall on her shoulders. Where would Keera find twenty

million?!

She couldn’t really let Keera end up on the streets with Amy, could she?

Meanwhile.

Ellis also returned to the Olsen family and entered his. study, where he couldn’t help but say, “So that Mary Davis was her. I remember she was always quietly sitting in the corner at every gathering. Her face is unforgettable.”

Ellis had always remembered her.

Although Mary was quiet and unobtrusive, her face conformed exactly to his aesthetic preferences: bright features with a sense of peace and harmony – the type

he very much liked

Even when his family told him it was time to marry and have children, the first image that came to his mind was her, but…

Ellis shook his head, “Appearances can be deceiving. She has such a face, but she has wasted her

intelligence. What a pity.”

Hearing this, his secretary asked, “Do I continue to update you on Miss Keera’s affairs?”

Ellis now felt a headache whenever he heard those two

words.

He couldn’t resist complaining, “How can there be such a foolish woman in the world?”

The secretary didn’t dare to speak.

After working for the Olsen family for so many years, he understood their personalities all too well.

The Olsen family always covered for their own!

They could criticize their own cousin, but nobody else

could!

Sure enough, Ellis went on. “Keep an eye on her. Don’t let her be completely taken advantage of. She’s my

cousin, and even if she’s that stupid, at least make sure

285 Lawsuit

Mary quickly returned to the Davis home.

As soon as she entered the door and saw the people in the room, her expression immediately grew grave.

In their own villa, not only were her parents there, but

so were her other uncles and aunts.

It seemed that all of the older generation of the Davis family had come!

At that moment, everyone was staring at her; her eldest aunt could hardly wait to ask, “Well? Did Mr. Ellis take a liking to you?”

Mary’s fingers tightened instantly, and she looked

down.

She swallowed before saying, “No…”

“No?!”

Her eldest aunt’s voice instantly became shrill. “How could it not be? Mary, are you not gentle enough? Haven’t I told you? When you see Mr. Ellis, talk about horses more; he loves horse racing the most!”

11:56

Her eldest uncle spoke dispassionately, “Don’t rush, Mary. Tell us the details of the blind date so we can analyze it and figure out where the problem lies.”

A trace of shame and anger flashed across Mary’s face.

Her private affairs were to be laid out and scrutinized

in detail?

Her father then intervened. “Brother, Sister-in-law, this, after all, is Mary’s private affair. Since Mr. Ellis didn’t take a liking, then it must mean Mary doesn’t

have such a fate. I think there’s no need to dwell on it

any further…”

Mary’s second uncle immediately scoffed. ” Brother, our eldest brother is the family head, and it’s his turn to speak. Is it your place to interrupt?”

Mary’s father was suddenly at a loss for words.

The aunt spoke disdainfully as well. “Brother, the Davis family was indeed once the primary line of the Davis family’s legacy, but now that the old man has passed away, we can only be considered a collateral line. If we don’t strive in this generation, soon we’ll be

indistinguishable from the most distant relatives!”

Mary’s grandfather was the gooand can of the

11.56

legitimate line of the Davis family. After the eldest took over as family head, Mary’s grandfather broke away to

live on his own.

While Mary’s grandfather was still alive, the first

branch of the family showed them some respect, but after the grandfather passed away, the uncle from the main branch who became the head began to tighten his control of the family’s authority, and they were gradually marginalized.

Although they still lived with dignity, in just a few more years, they would be downgraded to a second-tier influential family.

The second uncle continued ” Brother, although we don’t share the same mother, for many years, everyone has held great expectations for Mary, hoping she could marry into the first branch of one of the other fo major families and elevate our status! This opport was fought for by our eldest brother from the main branch only for Mary. Can you say this is her private matter? Can you justify this to our eldest brother?”

Seeing this scene, Mary clenched her fists.

Her father indeed didn’t have the same mother as

these people.

Their mother was also from one of the five major families, but, unfortunately, after giving birth to their aunt, she weakened in health, fell ill, and died.

Afterward, her grandfather remarried her grandmother, who came from a minor family…

By all means, her grandmother should have been treated with respect as their mother after many years of companionship with her grandfather, but instead…

After her grandfather passed away, her eldest uncle, second uncle, and aunt joined forces to drive her grandmother out of the ancestral home. They said that since she wasn’t the original wife, even in death, she couldn’t be buried alongside Grandpa.

Although Mary could be considered a member of the Davis family, in reality, their family’s status within the Davis family was exceedingly awkward.
