Ellis seemed as though he hadn’t heard the gossip and rumors, but Mary noticed that his hand holding the chopsticks was slightly exerting force.

Now, if these words could agitate him, it was merely because he also felt embarrassed.

Mary immediately looked at her. “Are you deaf? They were just bad-mouthing me over there; did you not hear it? Is this how you protect the reputation of the Olsen family?”

Victoria was choked by the scolding, and her face changed color on the spot.

She clenched her fists in grievance, then looked toward Ellis and said softly, “Ellis, did I make Mary angry? I really didn’t mean to…”

Ellis slowly raised his head. Those eyes that were

usually commanding and condescending now revealed an unusual depth.

He said lowly “Co ore 17ou donf2”
