322 Chapter 321
Mr. Jones was slightly startled and turned around abruptly.
There before him was Tom who, just yesterday, had been giving them the cold shoulder but now
approached him with a full-faced smile, extending his hand. Nice to meet you!
Mr. Jones looked at him in a daze, Mr. Davis?
Tom said, Did you bring the contract?
Mr. Jones said, Yes, I did.
Good, let me take a look at the contract. If theres nothing wrong, lets sign the agreement today!
Mr. Jones followed Tom into the office in a daze and still felt like he was dreaming when he walked out with the signed contract.
He returned home in a daze.
Mrs. Jones saw his expression and thought the deal hadnt gone through, so she immediately asked, What happened? You werent chased out by the receptionist,
were you?

Mr. Jones handed over the contract to her.
Mrs. Jones glanced at it and she, too, was stunned.
Mr. Jones looked at her. Tell me, what kind of person is your lifesaver from yesterday, exactly?
Mrs. Jones touched her chin, pondered for a moment, and couldnt help looking at him. Is it because I did a good deed, and this is my reward for being a good person?
Mr. Jones nearly rolled his eyes. Do you believe that?
No.
Mr. Jones then said, Forget it. Whatever their background is, our dealings with them arent for personal gain anyway!
Mrs. Jones was also open-minded. Thats right!
The next day, Keira didnt take Amy to the early
education class.
Before, Keera had sent her there to avoid Howards mother, who was always scolding her at home, and later she also sent the child there as a trap for

Howards mother.
Now that she and Howard were divorced and the house had quieted down, she simply withdrew Amy from that school.
A two-year-old child, who lacked a sense of security so much, needed to stay close to her mother.
Furthermore, since Christinas scheme hadnt worked out, she was afraid something else might come up, and she didnt want Amy to always be aggrieved.
Hearing that she didnt have to go to school anymore, Amys face blossomed into a smile, and Keira stayed home to play with her for a while before receiving a video call from Mary.
Mary placed her phone on the coffee table. Amy, c give your godmother a kis!
Amy then shyly smiled and buried her head into Keiras
embrace.
Mary couldnt help but complain. Look, my goddaughter isnt even close to me anymore. Keera, its all your fault for blocking me for half a year
Keira wanted to make some excuses for her sister but
11:24
322 Chapter 321
wasnt sure what to say when she heard Mary say, But thats okay, in the half-year you blocked me, I reflected on myself. I wasnt considerate enough. Only a person starved of love could be deceived by that scum Howard.
Mary then looked at the phone. In the future, Ill love you even more!
Keira suddenly laughed, feeling that the friendship between her sister and Mary wasnt so easily fractured. She really didnt need to explain anything.
Keira wanted to speak but suddenly heard through Marys video call the sound of a door being kicked open with a bang
Immediately after, Marys parents rushed in.
Mary was also stunned, and before she could end the
video call, she turned her head just as a slap landed heavily on her face!
Slap!
This was from her mother.
Mary covered her face, disbelief in her eyes as she
11:24
322 Chapter 321
looked at them. Mom, what are you doing?
Her mothers face was livid, and upon hearing this, she immediately retorted, What am I doing? Why dont you tell us what youve done?!
After that, she threw a pregnancy test report in Marys
face!
Upon seeing the report, Marys pupils constricted slightly, and she looked toward her mother, trying to explain, I, I
Whos the father of this bastard child?!
The angry voice came from her father.
He took a step forward and glared at Mary intensel Havent we taught you to respect and value yourse You cannot do such things! You got pregnant and messed around outside! How are you supposed to get
married now?!
Marys mother began to cry. Thats right. Are you not going on a blind date with Mr. Horton because of this man?! Are you
confused?!
Mary looked at them and suddenly clenched her fists. Dad, Mom, its foolish to date and get pregnant, but
11:24
322 Chapter 321
its not foolish to marry Lewis, an old widower?!
Keira, who was beginning to worry for Mary, was dumbfounded.
She silently turned back and glanced at Lewis, who
was quietly watching her and Amy. The old widowers lips twitched.
That was indeed an unmerited disaster.
Keira coughed and continued to watch the video.
Mary had always had a strong presence at home, and her parents lived under her protection, so Keira didnt think much of it at the time.
But unexpectedly, after Mary said those words, Mar father took a step forward and slapped her again. Ungrateful creature! Is Mr. Horton the same as ordinary people? If you are so capable, why dont you sleep with Mr. Horton or Mr. Ellis and have them take responsibility for you?!
Mary was stunned.
Her father continued to point at her and shouted, Who will marry you now, looking like this?! If we cant marry into a wealthy family, how will your mother and

I stay in this house in the future?! Even your grandmother will be driven out! She wont be able to be buried with your grandfather! Mary, do you even understand?!
Upon hearing this, Mary suddenly laughed. So, what am I in your eyes? A commodity to trade for glory and wealth?!
Marys mothers expression froze. How can you speak of me like that?

Marys fathers face darkened. No matter what you say, this child must be aborted! And you mustnt tell anyone about this, understand?

She couldnt believe what she was seeing, just feeling chills run down her spine.
She had never thought that her own parents would

treat her like this one day
Mary looked at them in shock, her hands
subconsciously resting on her belly. Mom, I wont take it I want this child!
Her mother frowned upon hearing this. Why cant you just obey?
Her father also stepped forward. The man who was always frightened by bodyguards and Marys uncle suddenly grasped Marys arm tightly. Mary, dont blame us. We have no choice. You must take this medicine You have to marry into a wealthy family
Mary, in terror, tried to break free from his grip, but how could a girls strength compare to a mans?
Marys father held her fast, even prying her mouth open, not giving her a chance to speak again, while Marys mother opened the medicine and forced it into her mouth
Upon witnessing this, Keira panicked and screamed, Uncle, Auntie! You cant kill this baby!
Mary struggled, tears streaming down, but she
couldnt break free from her fathers restraint and her
mothers suppression

Marys mother, hearing the voice from the phone, said sternly, Keera, I know you and Mary are good friends, but you dont understand. Its a mistake one makes in youth out of impulsiveness, and youll regret it later! This bastard child cannot stay!
Keira saw the pill about to enter Marys mouth, wishing she could travel through the video call to get there, but it was already too late
She could only yell, This child is Elliss!!
