How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 289 - Chapter 289 Chapter 288

Chapter 289: Chapter 288 Chapter 289: Chapter 288 Ellis Olsen was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, “You mean, Keera wants the divorce herself?”

Given that they had gotten to this point in the conversation, Mary Davis was genuinely afraid that Ellis Olsen might intervene and help resolve Keera’s Company’s contract issues…

Mary Davis sighed, “Yes, it’s an act that Keera and I put on.”

She briefly explained the prenuptial agreement Keera had signed, then went straight to the point, “We want to intimidate Howard into backing down, leaving with nothing, and handing over both the company and custody of the daughter to Keera.”

After saying this, Mary Davis continued, “So, please don’t step in to help.”

Ellis Olsen scoffed coldly, “Miss Davis, do you think I would believe such a clumsy lie?”

Ellis Olsen had investigated Keera; she had been obsessed with love since her college days, nearly falling out with her foster parents over Howard, later even falling out with her best friend Mary Davis…

Besides, for some time now, he had been keeping an eye on Keera, knowing that she had been tolerating everything at home to compete with that mistress, catering to Howard’s mother’s every need so well that Howard’s mother could hardly bear to part with her…

How could Ellis possibly believe that a person who was so fixated on Howard would want a divorce?

Moreover, Mary Davis’s status alone was insufficient to make the Davis Corporation withdraw their lawsuit, and even if they had sued, even if Keera really left Howard with nothing, selling that company and villa wouldn’t be enough to cover twenty million.

So, if Keera had really set up such a scheme, what was she after?

It simply didn’t make logical sense!

Mary Davis wanted to explain, but she also knew her words were hardly credible.

After all, even she, who knew her best friend best, had doubted until now whether Keera had truly gotten over Howard.

When she had blocked her in the past, Keera had once said a sentence, her last message to herself read: “Even if Howard truly cheated, the fact that he’s been hiding it from me means he cares about me. Mary Davis, what I need is not your reminder; he’s just made the mistake that every man could make. If you don’t tell me, maybe he’ll come back to the family on his own soon! I don’t need your reminder!”

Such a lovestruck person was beyond hope.

Mary Davis didn’t bother to explain any further, instead returning to a previous point, “Young Master Olsen, you just made me a promise that you’d agree to my request as long as it’s not excessive.”

Ellis Olsen’s expression suddenly turned icy.

Was this Mary Davis determined to punish Keera?

He inhaled deeply, then suddenly lowered his gaze, concealing the icy chill within, “Are you sure you want to make this request?”

“Indeed.”

“Fine, I agree to it,” said Ellis Olsen, lifting his head slightly, his eyes filled with a cold intent, “But the favor you’ve just borrowed from me, you’ll need to repay.”

Mary Davis was startled.

She pressed her lips together, aware of what Ellis Olsen meant.

Her great-uncle had been willing to overlook her actions today, mistakenly believing Ellis Olsen was interested in her. If Ellis Olsen personally went to clarify the matter…

Her life would likely become even more difficult.

But thinking of Keera’s desire for a divorce, the company, the villa, and freedom, she eventually clenched her fists tightly:

“Okay.”

On the other side, Ellis Olsen hung up the phone.

At that moment, Mary Davis had not yet realized the consequences of angering Ellis Olsen.

She just breathed a sigh of relief and then started her car to head home.

On the way, she even sent a WhatsApp message to Keera: “Keera, I did something big today! I’ll tell you all about it when I see you!”

Thinking back on her amorous encounter with Ellis Olsen, a flush of shyness appeared on her face.

Soon, she arrived back home.

She parked the car and quickly entered the front door.

But as soon as she entered, her steps immediately halted.

She saw her parents kneeling in the hallway, while her uncle was sitting in front of them with a few bodyguards.

Mary Davis stopped in her tracks.

She tensed her jaw, her whole body stiffened, as she took a step forward and softly called out, “Dad, Mom…”

“Mary…”

Mrs. Davis’s voice was full of tears, “What on earth did you do to offend Young Master Olsen? Why would he suddenly call your uncle and say he has nothing to do with you? Please, explain to your uncle, was Young Master Olsen just joking with you? Didn’t he go to the private room to find you today?”

Hearing this, her uncle snorted coldly and immediately scolded, “Kneel!”

Mary Davis did not kneel.

But the bodyguard had already approached and kicked her knee hard, causing her to weaken and kneel down on the floor!

“Ungrateful creature! Young Master Olsen has no interest in you, yet you dare to leverage his influence? Do you know Boss Dawson just called me and scolded me fiercely?”

Her uncle came right up to her, grabbed her hair, “Mary Davis, who gave you the audacity? To make a fool of us, hm?”

Mary Davis’s scalp hurt from the pulling; she could only look up.

Her hands were clenched into fists, and she said nothing.

Mr. Davis, who was kneeling by her side, crawled over and grabbed his brother’s legs, “Big brother, Mary is still young; she doesn’t understand, please let her go…”

But her uncle kicked her father away, “A useless person raised by a waste is also a waste! Do you still have the face to ask me to let her go? If I let her go, how can Boss Dawson let me off?!”

He raised his hand and harshly slapped Mary Davis’s face!

Mary Davis closed her eyes.

But the expected pain did not come.

She opened her eyes in confusion to see her uncle sneering, “I actually pity that face of yours, no wonder Boss Dawson keeps thinking about you. I can’t hit you…”

He released Mary Davis, giving her a huge sense of relief.

But the next moment…

“Slap!”

A slap landed ferociously on Mr. Davis’s face!

Her uncle started kicking and punching Mr. Davis, “I told you to teach your daughter properly, I told you to teach your daughter properly…”

Mr. Davis didn’t dare to resist; he just protected his head and begged for mercy. Knowing what his brother was about to do, he hurriedly shouted, “Big brother, I beg you, take it out on me if you want to hit or curse, spare Mary, please, she’s just a child… She doesn’t owe the Davis family anything!”

“Dad!”

Mary Davis’s eyes widened in horror, and she let out a cry, wanting to rush forward, but was stopped by the bodyguard!

She struggled desperately, trying to break free from their grasp, wanting to stop her uncle from beating and insulting her father…

But those bodyguards were professionals, incredibly strong, and she couldn’t break free.

“Uncle, stop hitting him, please stop! If you keep hitting him, someone will die! I’m begging you!”

Mary Davis cried out sharply, her face streaming with tears and snot.

Finally, her uncle stopped.

He rubbed his wrist and turned to look at Mary Davis, “If you want me to stop hitting him, fine, but from now on, you’ll have to listen to my every word…”
