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.

Mary understood him.

Ever since he was young, Ellis had been a

troublemaker, dubbed the Demon of Clance, and his

reputation had never been good.

He never cared about what others thought of him.

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

A bitter smile suddenly tugged at the corners of Mary’s lips.

She clenched her fists tightly and suddenly looked toward the third table, saying in a cold voice, “Is the food that the Olsen family prepared to entertain you all not to your taste?”

Mary kept her gaze fixed on them. “If it’s not to your liking, you may choose not to eat, or you may leave. The door is right there. I won’t be seeing you out.”

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”
