How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 328 - Chapter 328 Chapter 327

Chapter 328: Chapter 327 Chapter 328: Chapter 327 Upon hearing this, the executive who was about to leave suddenly froze.

The rest of the people from Davis Corporation also turned their gazes towards Mary Davis.

Christina Olsen feigned surprise, “Director Davis, what did you say?”

Overwhelmed with emotion, Mary suppressed the nausea in her chest and repeated, “I said, I’m pregnant, I feel unwell, so I can’t drink. Sorry.”

The executive was stunned as well, “Ah, no problem, no problem… Of course, you can’t drink if you’re pregnant, I just didn’t know… Should you…rest well?”

Mary breathed a sigh of relief, just as she was about to leave, Christina spoke up again, “Director Davis, weren’t you unmarried? How could you be pregnant?”

Her question led to a dead silence around them.

Everyone’s eyes shifted to Mary, and then to her stomach…

Victoria Olsen then spoke, “Sister, why would you ask such a question? If Director Davis publicly announces her pregnancy, perhaps there is good news forthcoming, right? May I ask who Director Davis’s husband is?”

The others immediately looked to Mary.

Mary clenched her jaw and took a deep breath, “Sorry, this is my personal privacy.”

Victoria Olsen spoke directly, “Personal privacy? In families like ours, marriages are made public. Isn’t Director Davis’s fiance supposed to be public?”

Christina sneered immediately, “Don’t tell me even you don’t know whom the father is? I’ve heard Director Davis’s personal life is quite messy…”

Upon hearing this, employees from both Davis Corporation and Olsen Group began to point fingers at Mary and gossip:

“Unmarried and pregnant, huh?”

“Although the Davis Family has split, won’t such an incident tarnish the reputation of the Davis girls?”

“Mary has always been quite open, drinking with who knows how many men for projects, but I heard she still has some principles!”

“Where are the principles? She’s pregnant now; where are those supposed lines?”

“With her status, surely the man wouldn’t dare to be irresponsible if she were really pregnant? How come there’s no fiance then?”

“Could it be like Christina said, that because she’s messed around with many men, she doesn’t know who the father is? I hear that in wealthy circles things can get messy, including those kinds of play…”

“What? Where did you hear such gossip? Tell me about it!”

“Don’t you know? I also heard about it; never seen it… Some people’s private lives are chaotic. They like to find a group of women, a group of men, get everyone naked, form a circle, and then the men stay put, women spin around, stopping for a minute…”

“My god, I’m enlightened. If she really got pregnant that way, it’d be impossible to tell who the father of the child is… You’d have to test all the men who were present that day after the child is born…”

“Really, having such a child?”

“I heard the Davis family has a good reputation, never had such an incident before, could there be some misunderstanding?”

“…”

Mary was dazed by these words; she had never imagined that rumors would spiral out of control like this.

But she didn’t know how to explain… So she clenched her fists, then turned around to leave.

At that moment, Chad Davis also heard the surrounding discussions and immediately rushed over. Hearing that the education of the Davis Family was being questioned, his face turned grim.

Not to mention the collateral branches, there were still several unmarried girls in their direct lineage.

If such a scandal broke out, would the rest of the Davis girls even get married?!

His face darkened as he gripped his fists tightly, stepped forward, and blocked Mary’s path, “Where are you going? Expose the truth to everyone here today, who is the father of the child in your belly?!”

Mary subconsciously looked towards Ellis Olsen in the distance.

Ellis was leaning by a table, holding a glass of champagne, gently swirling it, seemingly engrossed as if the champagne was some rare treasure to be admired all night.

He showed no intention of coming to her defense.

Mary couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.

Makes sense.

In his eyes, her child belonged to another man. If she was messing around with others, why would he step in to speak for her?!

She lowered her gaze, “Big brother…”

“Don’t call me big brother!” Chad Davis said angrily, staring at her, demanding, “Tell me now, what’s the story with the child in your belly!”

Mary tensed her jaw and looked at him, “What can it be? It’s just like this.”

She looked directly at the crowd, her eyes sharp, scoffed, and said, “The law of the state declares, unmarried people are allowed to get pregnant and have children. What’s the matter? You all don’t allow that? Or are you still living in the Qing Dynasty? This is the 21st century! Surely everyone’s mind isn’t stuck with the old-fashioned ways?”

“You…!”

Chad Davis was taken aback by her composed manner and felt his anger swell.

Christina covered her mouth, “Miss Davis, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize the Davis family is so relaxed. In the Olsen Family, the girls must return home at night, and whereabouts after ten have to be reported to the parents…”

Hearing this, Mary’s face slightly changed.

She was about to speak when suddenly the light before her dimmed, followed by a sharp “slap”!

Chad Davis’s hand struck her face hard!

As the elder brother, Chad had the right to discipline his siblings, and Mary’s words had severely tarnished the reputation of the Davis Family!

Mary looked at him in disbelief, “Big brother?”

Although he was strict with them, she was a girl who had moved out into her own household, and Chad had never laid a hand on her.

Chad stared at her, “That slap was for your indecency! Mary, tell me now, who is the wild man?”

In the distance, Ellis Olsen saw what was happening and his brows furrowed, his fingers tightening around the champagne glass.
