How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 327 - Chapter 327 Chapter 326

Chapter 327: Chapter 326 Chapter 327: Chapter 326 Mary Davis paused when she saw Ellis Olsen.

She threw the tissue into the nearby trash can, then straightened up and tidied her messy hair from bowing her head.

Then she finally spoke, “Mr. Olsen, this seems to be the ladies’ restroom.”

“I know.”

Ellis Olsen leaned lazily against the wall, “I just came to see your pitiful state. What’s the matter, is being pregnant that uncomfortable? Why not abort the child?”

At these words, Mary Davis’s fingertips trembled.

She clenched her fingers, “That’s my personal affair, Mr. Olsen need not bother himself.”

Seeing her like this, Ellis Olsen scoffed, “Then consider it me sticking my nose where it doesn’t belong! But still, having a child out of wedlock won’t do your reputation any good, will it?”

Mary Davis tightened her jaw, unwilling to speak, and walked past him to leave.

Ellis followed at her side, “What’s the matter? Did I strike a nerve? I really don’t understand why you insist on keeping this child. Are you planning to give birth and then press the father for some advantage?”

Listening to his words, Mary Davis had a fluctuating expression.

Upon leaving the restroom, she abruptly stopped and turned to face Ellis Olsen, “Think whatever you like!”

Ellis’s brows furrowed, irritation growing in his heart, “Who the hell is the father of your child?!”

Mary Davis stared at him, “I’ve told you before, it’s you.”

Ellis scoffed, “And I’ve told you before, it can’t be me. Mary Davis, don’t overestimate your charm and think some man would wear a cuckold’s horns for you!”

Angered by his words, Mary Davis clenched her fists tightly, “In three months, I will have an amniocentesis DNA test with you!”

“You’re stubbornly clinging to false hope, huh? Fine, who’s afraid of who?”

Ellis Olsen, seeing that she was impervious to reason, turned and left.

They went their separate ways, a sense of parting on different paths.

In the restroom, Victoria Olsen and Christina Olsen suddenly opened a stall door and walked out.

The two had overheard the conversation in the restroom, and although they hadn’t heard Ellis and Mary’s exchange after they left, the dialogue inside was explosive enough!

Mary Davis was pregnant?

And unmarried at that!

Her reputation was already unflattering in their circles, and now this. Who would dare to marry her after?

Christina Olsen thought back to the day Keera had slapped her and how Mary Davis had stood in front to defend her. Remembering how Mary Davis had also backed Keera up in their recent clash, the corners of her lips curled into a smile.

She pulled Victoria Olsen by the arm, “Victoria, let’s go watch the drama unfold!”

The two left and went straight in the direction Mary Davis had gone.

Mary Davis was beautiful and a member of the Davis Family; there were many suitors around.

Especially a few executives from Olsen Group were present, and taking advantage of the informal mingling, they approached her with a glass of alcohol:

“Director Davis, congratulations on becoming the head of the investment department! This drink’s to you! I wish you a bright future!”

After saying this, the man drained his glass, then gestured for Mary Davis to drink as well.

Seeing this, Mary instinctively covered her belly.

She smiled suddenly, “I apologize, but I’m having some stomach discomfort today. I’ll have to toast with tea instead.”

After finishing her words, she reached out and picked up the teacup next to her.

Just as she was about to drink, Christina Olsen’s voice came through, “Director Davis, don’t you think this is somewhat disrespectful?”

Christina had already made her way to Mary Davis.

With a smile on her face, showing no sign of the animosity from before, she too picked up a glass of wine, “Director Davis, it was petty of me to have targeted you earlier. I offer this toast as an apology. You have to drink this glass, right?”

After speaking, she placed a glass of champagne in Mary Davis’s hand, then picked up another glass of champagne and downed it in one go.

Her forthright demeanor drew sideways glances from those around, earning her silent thumbs-ups.

Christina then looked at Mary Davis, “I know you’re not feeling well today, just a sip will do, the champagne isn’t that strong.”

But Mary Davis furrowed her brows.

Being pregnant, she couldn’t drink, and her heightened sensitivity to smells made it impossible to even fathom drinking.

She spoke up, “Sorry, but today I…”

Before she could finish, Christina cut in again, “Director Davis, everyone here knows you can hold your liquor. You aren’t going to refuse me this courtesy, are you?”

Mary Davis tightened her jaw, “Indeed, today is not a suitable day for me to drink.”

“What makes it unsuitable? I recall a saying of yours that’s famous in our circles: there’s no such thing as undrinkable liquor, only a lack of sincerity. So are you implying you lack sincerity toward me and everyone else, or do you think less of us now that you’ve been promoted?”

The one who had just come to toast Mary Davis was also a high-level executive of the Davis Corporation.

He was in charge of the investment department, effectively Mary Davis’s superior.

His toast was meant as a sign of respect and regard, and if Mary Davis refused to drink, it was indeed somewhat disrespectful. Hearing those words, his face changed color.

Mary Davis’s brow furrowed deeper.

Christina pushed the glass of champagne towards her and said, “Director Davis, if I were you, I would drink it to avoid causing a scene. It’s not good for anyone’s face.”

The glass was placed right under Mary Davis’s nose.

The smell of alcohol wafted up, causing her stomach to spasm again, and she suddenly covered her mouth, turning to run towards the restroom.

But Christina suddenly grabbed her arm, “Director Davis, are you feeling unwell? You aren’t pretending to dodge drinking, are you?”

Victoria Olsen chimed in, “Director Davis, if you really don’t want to drink, you could just say so, there’s no need to put on an act… we all understand.”

The high-level executive who had just offered the toast had his face darken even more.

He scoffed, “Director Davis, if you don’t wish to drink, then forget it. I just didn’t realize my own standing. I’m sorry for bothering you!”

He turned to leave.

The other high-level executives of the Davis Corporation also showed looks of disdain.

They had previously thought of Mary Davis as hardworking and a good prospect, which was why they had approached her, but had she started to consider herself above the rest as a member of the Davis Family?

Seeing the situation, Mary Davis understood that she had to make a choice!

On one hand, her relationship with her colleagues, if not clarified, could easily lead to misunderstandings.

On the other hand, there was the matter of her pregnancy…

She didn’t think her pregnancy was something that couldn’t be mentioned; after all, marriage is a choice, and pregnancy is a woman’s right.

As the executive was about to leave, Mary Davis suppressed the turmoil in her stomach, turned around, and called out in haste, “Sorry, it’s not that I refuse to drink, but I cannot drink because… I’m pregnant!”
