The moment these words were spoken, the executive, who was about to leave, suddenly froze.”

The rest of the Davis Corporation employees nearby also turned their gaze toward Mary.

Christina feigned surprise. “Director Davis, what did you say?”

Overwhelmed by emotion, Mary suppressed her nausea and repeated, “I said I’m pregnant, so I’m feeling unwell and can’t drink, sorry.”

The executive was stunned as well. “I see, it’s okay, it’s okay… You definitely can’t drink if you’re pregnant. I didn’t know… so you… take good care of yourself…”

Mary breathed a sigh of relief, and just as she was about to leave, Christina said, “Director Davis, I

remember you aren’t married, are you? How could you be pregnant?”

Her words cast a deadly silence over the crowd.

Everyone’s eyes were on Mary, then they glanced at

Victoria chimed in. “Christina, how can you ask such a question? Since Director Davis has announced her pregnancy, it must be good news, right? May I ask who the father is?”

The others immediately turned their attention to

Mary.

Mary clenched her jaw and took a deep breath. “Sorry, that’s my privacy.”

Victoria went straight to the point. “Privacy? In

families like ours, marriages are to be made public. Is

Director Davis’s fiancé a secret?”

Christina immediately scoffed. “Don’t tell me you don’t know who it is. I’ve heard that Director Davis’s personal life is quite controversial…”

As soon as she said this, the employees from both Davis Corporation and Olsen Group started whispering and pointing at Mary.

“She’s pregnant before she’s married?”

“Although the Davis family has separated, won’t this really affect the reputation of the Davis family’s

women?”

“Mary has always been quite liberal with her social life, drinking with countless people for the sake of projects, but I heard she still has some boundaries!”

“Boundaries? She’s pregnant now, where are the boundaries?”

“Considering her status, wouldn’t the man take responsibility if she’s really pregnant? How come there isn’t even a fiancé?”

“Maybe Christina is right. Mary has messed around with so many men that she doesn’t know who the father is. I’ve heard that in the circles of the wealthy, some live very wild lives, there are even those events…”

“What? Where did you hear such gossip? Tell me, what happened?”

“Don’t you know? I just heard about it, I’ve never see it… I heard that some people have very chaotic private lives, they like to gather a group of women and men, then everyone gets undressed, forms a circle, and the men stand still while the women rotate and pause for a
