285 Lawsuit
Mary quickly returned to the Davis home.
As soon as she entered the door and saw the people in the room, her expression immediately grew grave.
In their own villa, not only were her parents there, but
so were her other uncles and aunts.
It seemed that all of the older generation of the Davis family had come!
At that moment, everyone was staring at her; her eldest aunt could hardly wait to ask, Well? Did Mr. Ellis take a liking to you?
Marys fingers tightened instantly, and she looked
down.
She swallowed before saying, No
No?!
Her eldest aunts voice instantly became shrill. How could it not be? Mary, are you not gentle enough? Havent I told you? When you see Mr. Ellis, talk about horses more; he loves horse racing the most!

Her eldest uncle spoke dispassionately, Dont rush, Mary. Tell us the details of the blind date so we can analyze it and figure out where the problem lies.
A trace of shame and anger flashed across Marys face.
Her private affairs were to be laid out and scrutinized
in detail?
Her father then intervened. Brother, Sister-in-law, this, after all, is Marys private affair. Since Mr. Ellis didnt take a liking, then it must mean Mary doesnt
have such a fate. I think theres no need to dwell on it
any further
Marys second uncle immediately scoffed. Brother, our eldest brother is the family head, and its his turn to speak. Is it your place to interrupt?
Marys father was suddenly at a loss for words.
The aunt spoke disdainfully as well. Brother, the Davis family was indeed once the primary line of the Davis familys legacy, but now that the old man has passed away, we can only be considered a collateral line. If we dont strive in this generation, soon well be
indistinguishable from the most distant relatives!
Marys grandfather was the gooand can of the

legitimate line of the Davis family. After the eldest took over as family head, Marys grandfather broke away to
live on his own.
While Marys grandfather was still alive, the first
branch of the family showed them some respect, but after the grandfather passed away, the uncle from the main branch who became the head began to tighten his control of the familys authority, and they were gradually marginalized.
Although they still lived with dignity, in just a few more years, they would be downgraded to a second-tier influential family.
The second uncle continued Brother, although we dont share the same mother, for many years, everyone has held great expectations for Mary, hoping she could marry into the first branch of one of the other fo major families and elevate our status! This opport was fought for by our eldest brother from the main branch only for Mary. Can you say this is her private matter? Can you justify this to our eldest brother?
Seeing this scene, Mary clenched her fists.

Her father indeed didnt have the same mother as
these people.
Their mother was also from one of the five major families, but, unfortunately, after giving birth to their aunt, she weakened in health, fell ill, and died.
Afterward, her grandfather remarried her grandmother, who came from a minor family
By all means, her grandmother should have been treated with respect as their mother after many years of companionship with her grandfather, but instead
After her grandfather passed away, her eldest uncle, second uncle, and aunt joined forces to drive her grandmother out of the ancestral home. They said that since she wasnt the original wife, even in death, she couldnt be buried alongside Grandpa.
Although Mary could be considered a member of the Davis family, in reality, their familys status within the Davis family was exceedingly awkward.
Her father was dutifully filial, and her grandmother
was a traditional woman who didnt wish to break away from the family, always hoping to be buried with her grandfather
Mary thought of this and felt a sense of suffocation.
Seeing her like this, her mother couldnt help but look at her with dismay. Mary, what exactly happened during the blind date? Just tell us
Mary clenched her fingers before finally speaking up. Mr. Ellis was dissatisfied with me. I had barely sat down and hadnt even spoken when he left.
As soon as these words came out, one of her uncles became extremely disappointed. With your looks, he didnt even bother to give you a second glance?
Mary said, No, he didnt.
The aunt immediately scoffed. A granddaughter brought up in a small family background is just useless! Brother, you insisted on giving her this opportunity. See? it was wasted! If I had known earlier, I might a well have let my daughter try! At the young peoples private gatherings, my daughter was able to speak a few words with Mr. Ellis
The second uncles wife also sneered. Sister-in-law,
your daughter isnt a member of the Davis family, but we have plenty of daughters in our family waiting to be married. Indeed, the first branch chose wrongly

this time! Who is Mr. Ellis? How would he possibly take a fancy to someone who is nothing but a pretty face with no understanding of anything?
Mary didnt respond to these words, but his father could no longer hold back. Sister-in-law, how can you speak so harshly? Mary studied new energy in college, and now shes been valued by the first branch and is in charge of the new energy research and development projects at the Davis Corporation In her generation, shes the first one to hold such a position! Mary is a capable and good child!
Once he said this, the uncle from the first branch snorted coldly. Fourth brother, since you brought it up, theres something I have to say. I heard she abused her authority to sign a contract for her best friends husband. Thats utterly preposterous!
The second uncles wifes voice immediately became shrill. What? Mary! When my maternal familys nephew wanted to work in the New Energy Research and Development Department of the Davis Corporation, you said we couldnt pull strings, and now for an outsider, for a best friend who is mentally deficient, you blatantly do such a thing? You must

really be blinded by greed!
Mary immediately said, You can insult me, but dont drag my friend into it.
What friend? Thats nothing but a questionable outsider! Ive heard her husband cheated on her, and she just tolerates it. With her feeble and incompetent love-struck brain, youre forbidden from associating
with her in the future!
The first branchs uncle stood up and looked at her, Mary, I gave you a chance. If Mr. Ellis had taken a liking to you, I would have turned a blind eye to your actions, but unfortunately, you failed to grasp the opportunity, and I wont bend the rules for personal
reasons anymore!

That contract is on you for judging people wrongly. If their company fails to deliver the research plan tomorrow, Ill definitely have the legal department sue them for compensation according to the contract, and at the same time, youll be held responsible for the investment failure! When the time comes, dont blame me for not considering our relationship!
Mary clenched her fists tightly.

Among her peers, she was the first to pass the interview for Davis Corporation and to work there.
Thus, she had long been a thorn in the side of these
families.
It was an investment failure, but according to the contract, if compensation could be obtained, it meant she had rectified her mistake with her investment.
The first branchs uncle was clearly looking for an excuse to fire her from Davis Corporation.
Mary looked at them and, facing the leviathan that was Davis Corporation, felt somewhat powerless.
But it didnt matter. At the very least, she could help Keera divorce and escape from Howards clutches.
Meanwhile, Keira, after preparing dinner for Howards mother and Amy, entered the bedroom and took out Keeras laptop.
The laptop contained a research and development plan.
Once Howard shifted all the blame onto her and divorced her, she planned to use this latest research and development plan to seek in-depth cooperation

with Davis Corporation.
She wouldnt let Mary be put in a difficult position.
It just occurred to her that she hadnt mentioned this
to Mary yet.
Time quickly reached the third day.
The Davis Corporations lawsuit was delivered to Howard early in the morning.
