286 Blame Keera
At this moment, Cindy was in the office coquettishly complaining to Howard about her grievances. I just want to live in a villa, and your son wants to be born in
one too.
Howard said, Okay, Ill go back and discuss it with her again.
Cindy blinked and said, Yeah, you should go back and discuss it with her. After all, shes the owner of the
villa! The villa is under her name.
She knew exactly how to infuriate Howard.
As expected, these words immediately provoked him, and Howard retorted. Hers? Thats mine! Im the head of the household! Havent you seen that I call the shots with everything at the company? Tonight, youre coming home with me, and youll settle down in the villa with peace of mind!
Seeing his reaction, Cindy quickly said, Wouldnt your wife be unhappy and kick us out? Didnt she kick me
out last time?

She wouldnt dare!
Howard lifted his chin defiantly.
It was at this moment that someone knocked on the office door and entered, handing him the letter. Mr. Smith, someone just delivered this! They say we havent submitted the research and development proposal on time, and Davis Corporation has sued us! Theyre demanding we compensate them twenty million according to the contract!
What?!
Cindy let out a shocked exclamation, looking incredulously at the indictment.
Howard dismissed it with a wave of his hand. It must
be a mistake on their part. Mary is so good to Keera.
How could they sue us!
He looked at his secretary, But on the RD
departments end, the proposal wasnt submitted on time, was it?
The secretary immediately replied, Mr. Smith, our core staff member in the RD department was poached last month. He came to you asking for a raise,
which you refuged and you quan told him to not out

But he hadnt expected things to turn out like this.
Howard immediately said, Dont panic. Im calling Mary right now.
After saying this, he took out his phone and dialed Marys number.
Mary answered quickly, and Howard immediately explained the situation before adding, Do you think theres some misunderstanding here? Or maybe you
can
give us another months extension. Weve just hired new tech staff, and well definitely be able to produce the proposal for you!
He thought that would settle everything.
After all, with so many joint projects with Davis Corporation, no one would focus on such a small one. They were steadily receiving RD funds, and not producing results wouldnt be a big deal
But to his surprise, Mary actually bellowed at him. Howard! You have the nerve to call me?! Do you
realize that because of this incident, I also suffered at the company? My great-uncle was already displeased with my joining the corporation over my cousin, and now hes using this as leverage to fire me! Now that

my own position is at risk, I dont have the capacity to help you any longer! Youre on your own!
With that statement, Mary hung up.
Howard was stunned.
He immediately looked at his secretary. Hurry to Davis Corporation and find out if Mary really is getting fired.
Yes.
After the secretary left, Cindy asked, Howard, what do we do now? Do we really have to pay twenty million? Even if we sold the company, it wouldnt be
worth that much!
Howard was frantically pacing and suddenly stood up to leave. Im going back to see Keera.
Cindys face was filled with anxiety, and upon hearing this, her eyes flickered. She immediately followed him, Im coming with you!
The two quickly returned to the South family villa.
At that moment, Keira was still playing the role of the dutiful wife and mother, busy preparing lunch in the kitchen for Howards mother.

As soon as the door was opened, Howard charged into
the kitchen.
Keira showed just the right amount of surprise and joy. Youre back?
Seeing that she was trying to please him, Howard immediately ordered, Call Mary right now and make her find a way to withdraw the lawsuit against the company!
Keira pretended to be uninformed. What lawsuit?
Just make the call! No more nonsense!
Howard was furious.

Keira immediately lowered her head. Okay, Ill call.
She looked down, took out her phone, and dialed Marys number, but the message on the other end wa Hello, the phone you have dialed is turned off
She was stunned for a moment, then looked at
Howard.
Howard hastily said, Use WhatsApp voice call.
Keira quickly opened WhatsApp and made a voice call to Mary, but Mary immediately hung up and soon sent

her a message. Keera, Im sorry, but we shouldnt contact each other anymore
When Keira tried to send another message, she found she had been blocked.
She stared blankly at her phone.
Howard, with a dark expression, stepped forward, his hand raised to slap her face. Bitch! Youve ruined me!
Keira didnt let herself get hit.
She too seemed extremely aggrieved, and as Howard made his move, she crouched down, hugged her knees, and began to cry, Why would Mary do this? Why did
she block me?!
Howards slap missed, and as he was about to kick and punch Keira, she stood up and grabbed Howards arm Howard, you cant abandon me! Im your wife, and I cant come up with twenty million. The property prices in Clance are unstable, and if we have to sell the
house, it would only fetch half its value, which wont add up to twenty million! Will I end up in jail? Think of
something! Were husband and wife, for better or for
worse
These words made Howard pause.

He suddenly realized something. The companys legal person and shares were all in Keeras name, and even this villa was under her name!
If Davis Corporation pursued this matter, all he needed to do was get a divorce and push all the responsibility onto Keira, then he could walk away scot-free.
His eyes instantly lit up.
