My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

291 Mary's Choice Ellis was slightly startled when he heard this. “You mean, Keera wants to divorce on her own?” Since the topic had cto this point, Mary really feared that Ellis would take action and help Keera’s Company solve the contract issues...

Mary sighed. “Yes, it’s a plan that Keera and | acted out.” She briefly explained the prenuptial agreement that Keera had signed and then went straight to the point. “We want to make Howard retreat in the face of difficulties, leave without a penny, and give both the company and the custody of the daughter to Keera After saying all this, Mary continued. “So, please don step in and help.” But Ellis sneered. “Miss Davis, do you think | would believe such a clumsy lie?” Ellis had investigated Keera before. She had been love-struck since college and almost fell out with her adoptive parents for Howard. Later, she even fell out 1/9 ( 291 Mary's Choice with her best friend Mary over Howard...

Besides, in recent times, he had been keeping an eye on Keera and knew that she had been tolerant at hfor the sake of competing with that mistress, serving Howard's mother well, to the point where Howard's mother B didn’t want to part with her...

How could Ellis possibly believe that such a person, whose heart was full of thoughts of Howard, wanted to divorce? Moreover, Mary's influence wasn’t sufficient to make Davis Corporation drop the lawsuit, and since the lawsuit had been filed, even if Keera really made Howard leave without a penny, the value of that company and villa sold together wouldn't be enough cover twenty million.

So, if it was really a trap set by Keera herself, what was Keera plotting? It simply didn’t make any logical sense! Mary wanted to explain, but she also understood that her words were hard to believe.

After all, even she, who knew her friend best, had doubted until now whether Keera had truly let go of 219 < 291 Mary's Choice Howard.

The last tshe was blocked by Keera, she said something. The last message Keera sent Mary was, “Even if Howard really cheats, the fact that he’s been hiding it fromshows that he cares about me. Mary, | don’t need your warnings; he just made a mistake that any man could make. If you don’t tell me, maybe he'll return to the family after a while on his own! | don’t need your warnings!” Such infatuation was beyond salvation.

Mary simply didn’t bother explaining further and only said, “Mr. Ellis, you just promisedthat as long as my request isn’t excessive, you would agree to it!” Ellis’s eyes instantly becicy cold.

Was Mary determined to punish Keera? He took a deep breath and suddenly lowered his gaze, hiding the icy chill within. “Are you sure you want to make this request?” “Indeed.” “Fine, | agree,” said Ellis indifferently, lifting his head, his eyes filled with a cold intent. “But the favor you just 11.56 3/9 291 Mary's Choice borrowed from me, you have to return it now.” Mary was startled.

She pursed her lips, knowing what Ellis was referring fi Her uncle agreed to let her off today because he misunderstood that Ellis was interested in her. If Ellis went to clarify it himself...

Her future days might beceven harder.

But thinking of Keera’s desire for a divorce, for the company and the villa, as well as freedom, she eventually clenched her fist.

“Okay.” Ellis hung up.

At this moment, Mary still hadn't realized the consequences of enraging Ellis.

She just breathed a sigh of relief, then started the car and headed home.

On the way, she even sent a Whatmessage to Keera. “Keera, | did something big today! I'll tell you all about it sother day!” 4/9 291 Mary's Choice Thinking back to the passionate encounter with Ellis, a hint of shyness appeared on her face.

She tensed her jaw, her whole body freezing. She took a step forward and called out gently, “Dad, Mom...” “Mary...” Mary’s mother’s voice was choked with sobs. “What on earth did you do to offend Mr. Ellis? Why would he suddenly call your uncle and claim to have no association with you? Hurry up and explain to your uncle. Was Mr.

Ellis joking? Didn't he go to the private room to find you today?” Upon hearing this, Mary's eldest uncle scoffed coldly and immediately scolded. “Kneel!” EXPER 291 Mary's Choice Mary didn’t kneel.

But the bodyguards were already approaching, and with a cruel kick to her knees, they forced her legs to buckle, and she fell kneeling to the ground! “Ungrateful creature! Mr. Ellis had no interest in you, yet you dared to take advantage of his influence? Do you know that Mr. Lynch also calledjust now and gavean earful?” Her eldest uncle cright up to her, grabbing her hair. “Mary, who gave you such audacity? To make such a fool out of us? Huh?” Mary’s scalp throbbed in pain as she was forced to look up.

Her fists were clenched tight, and she remained s Beside her, Mary's father crawled over on his knees, hugging his eldest brother's leg. “Brother, Mary is still young, and she doesn’t understand. Please spare her...” Mary's eldest uncle, however, kicked Mary's father away, “A waste of a father raising a waste of a daughter! Do you still have the nerve to askto spare her? If | spare her, how could Mr. Lynch spare ma21” 31.66 291 Mary's Choice He raised his hand and viciously struck toward Mary's face! Mary closed her eyes.

But the anticipated pain did not come.

Opening her eyes in confusion, she saw her eldest uncle sneer. “Your face is something | can’t bear to harm, no wonder Mr. Lynch keeps thinking about you. | can’t hit you...” He released Mary, and she breathed a huge sigh of relief.

But in the next moment...

He already knew what his big brother intended to do and shouted, “Brother, I'm begging you. Take it out onif you must, but spare Mary please. She doesn’t owe 7/9 291 Mary's Choice anything to the Davis family!” “Dad!” Mary's eyes widened in shock. She cried out and tried to rush over, but the bodyguards blocked her way! She struggled fiercely, trying to break free from their grip, wanting to stop her eldest uncle’s beating and insults toward her father...

But those bodyguards were professional, robust, and impossible to break away from.

“Uncle, stop hitting him, please stop! If you keep going, it could be fatal! | beg you!” Mary cried out with a piercing voice, tears and snot streaming down her face.

It was only then that her eldest uncle finally stopped.

He rubbed his wrist and turned to look at Mary. “If you wantto stop hitting him, fine, but from now on, you'd better listen toobediently...” 8/9
