My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

296 Father and Daughter Mary's attitude toward him suddenly becinexplicably strange, which made Ellis very uncomfortable.

Even though he was willing to help Keera get through this tough time, he couldn’t help but utter such an annoying statement, all to make Mary take back her words. “My matters are none of Mr. Ellis’s concern.” Oooo Ellis could see that Mary’s attitude had softened.

He remembered how she had once begged him not to help Howard for Keera’s sake, so this time, for the sake of her best friend, she would surely lower her head again...

Just as he thought this, sure enough, he saw Mary begin to speak, “I...” At that moment, a cold voice cthrough. “Our matters are none of your business.” Ellis was dumbfounded.

He slightly turned his head and saw Keera, who looked exactly like Keira except for the absence of a mole at 296 Father and Daughter the corner of her eye.

For sreason, in the instant he looked at her, the coldness in Keera’s eyes made him feel as if he were facing Keira herself! Unfortunately, in a moment of panic, Keera’s gaze lost its aggressiveness, becoming ordinary and gentle. She seemed unable to meet his gaze, having already looked away elsewhere.

A mischievous anger began to rise in Ellis’s heart.

What was happening today? Things just kept happening! For sreason, in front of Mary, he didn’t want his commands to be defied. He scoffed. “You don’t need my help? So, are you planning to sell the villa? Or t company? Oh, your company is currently burdened with so much debt that probably no one would take over. Are you considering selling the villa? But the re estate market is not doing well now, and it would take quite stbefore you could sell that villa...” Mary immediately protested “The villa can’t be sold! Keera, as you said before, that’s the only thing your foster parents left you. You can’t sell it!” 10:32 296 Father and Daughter Ellis sneered, “If you don’t sell it, where will you get the money from? Without using my power, are you planning to sacrifice your charm again, to please a few men, to win over your uncle's favor so that he will speak for you?” Mary was shocked.

She really wanted to sew Ellis’s mouth shut! Even if she spent all her savings to help Keera out, she wouldn't ask this man for a single thing again! With that in mind, Mary grabbed Keera’s hand. “Mr. Ellis, are you so idle that you love meddling in our business? | really thank you for rescuing us from Lynch, but we don’t need to trouble you with other matters!” Leaving that statement behind, she led Keera out t door! Ellis was perplexed.

Watching the two women walking out the door, he wa at a loss as to what had just happened! He turned to look at his assistant and couldn't help asking, “I chere with good intentions to save her.

10:32 296 Father and Daughter Shouldn't she be grateful to me? How could she talk to like this?!” The assistant remained silent.

“She didn’t have this attitude towardwhen she was drugged yesterday. Me, being as handsas | am, and after sleeping with her, how could she not like me?” Moreover, that was his first time! The assistant didn’t know what to say.

Ellis, rubbing his chin, continued. “There must be an issue here! Could it be that she doesn’t like men?” Then, thinking again of how close Keera and Mary were when they left...

Ellis immediately shook his head. He must not overthink! However, Mary and Keera could just be stubborn! Th lawsuit was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, so they didn’t drop the case by tomorrow, they would really end up losing money! Thinking of this, Ellis instructed his assistant. “Helparrange a visit to Davis Corporation tomorrow to see 10:32 296 Father and Daughter Uncle Davis.” The “uncle” he referred to was, of course, the head of Davis Corporation.

Ellis was to be the next head of the Olsen family, and since Uncle Olsen no longer dealt with the affairs, Ellis managed the company. When he visited the Davis family, it was only natural that the head of the Davis family would receive him.

After Keira was dragged out of the hotel by Mary, Mary sneezed.

Keira immediately booked another room, went downstairs to buy cold medicine for her, and helped her to take a hot shower. Mary then curled up und the blankets.

Once her temperature had returned to normal, Keir said, “Mary, how could you make such a sacrifice for me?” Mary waved her hand dismissively. “Don’t get sentimental. It’s not all for you! My parents were locked up by Uncle Davis, and there's my grandmother... Uncle Davis said that Ong as | 296 Father and Daughter helped him, he would let my grandparents be buried together, which is my grandmother's only wish.” Keira understood.

She hadn't really known that Mary’s situation was so dire...

Wasn't Mary in a similar position to Jake in the Horton family? a After Lewis becthe family head, the first branch of the family should actually have split off. Jake, being descendant of the first branch, wouldn't be part of the main Horton family lineage in the next generation.

But if it hadn't been for his later misdeeds, Jake would still have had a significant say in the Horton Grop at least in contracts worth millions. He would have able to call the shots...

So naturally, she assumed that Mary also had a sa Davis Corporation.

She gave scold medicine to Mary. “Take this to prevent catching a cold.” When she turned back, she saw Mary looking at her with a guilty expression. “Keera, | was impulsive toda 10:32 296 Father and Daughter I shouldn't have offended Mr. Ellis just because of my pride. Howard toldthat you had helped Uncle Olsen before. If you and Howard get divorced, now is the tto ask Ellis for help. He would intervene.” After all, she had paid a high price last tto keep Ellis from getting involved.

Upon hearing this, Keira handed her the cold medicine. “I know what to do. Don’t overthink it.” But Mary thought she was just comforting her. “Keera, Mr. Ellis probably hasn't gone far. Why don’t we go find him right now? When faced with important issues, how can we still be angry with hi?! | was so foolish!” Her pride had prevented her from asking Ellis for help at the moment.

But now, she regretted it! Twenty million! Keera’s personality was such that she didn’t like to anyone anything, so she wouldn't use Mary's money.. Surely Mary couldn't really let Keera and Amy live without a place of their own 10.32 296 Father and Daughter However, Keira said. “I wasn’t speaking out of anger just now.” Mary was startled, “What?” Keira took her hand. “Tomorrow, I'll go with you to Davis Corporation.” Mary clenched her jaw, “Do you want to ask them to extend the time? Keera, Davis Corporation has strict rules and regulations. Once a lawsuit has been filed, it's not that easy to retract it without a good reason...” “I won't,” Keira said firmly. “I'll ask for a partnership.” When Ellis returned home, he found the light on in Uncle Olsen’s study.

He paused for a moment before heading there.

Keera had cto her senses and was starting to for her divorce; that meant the woman wasn’t bey hope. If so, then it was tto tell Uncle Olsen and let the father and daughter meet! 10:32
