291 Marys Choice Ellis was slightly startled when he heard this. You mean, Keera wants to divorce on her own?
Since the topic had come to this point, Mary really feared that Ellis would take action and help Keeras Company solve the contract issues
Mary sighed. Yes, its a plan that Keera and acted out.
She briefly explained the prenuptial agreement that Keera had signed and then went straight to the point. We want to make Howard retreat in the face of
difficulties, leave without a penny, and give both the company and the custody of the daughter to Keera After saying all this, Mary continued. So, please don step in and help. But Ellis sneered. Miss Davis, do you think would believe such a clumsy lie?
Ellis had investigated Keera before. She had been love-struck since college and almost fell out with her adoptive parents for Howard. Later, she even fell out

with her best friend Mary over Howard
Besides, in recent times, he had been keeping an eye on Keera and knew that she had been tolerant at home for the sake of competing with that mistress, serving Howards mother well, to the point where Howards mother didnt want to part with her
How could Ellis possibly believe that such a person, whose heart was full of thoughts of Howard, wanted to divorce?
Moreover, Marys influence wasnt sufficient to make Davis Corporation drop the lawsuit, and since the lawsuit had been filed, even if Keera really made Howard leave without a penny, the value of that company and villa sold together wouldnt be enough cover twenty million.
So, if it was really a trap set by Keera herself, what was Keera plotting?
It simply didnt make any logical sense!
Mary wanted to explain, but she also understood that her words were hard to believe.
After all, even she, who knew her friend best, had doubted until now whether Keera had truly let go of AA8

Howard.
The last time she was blocked by Keera, she said something. The last message Keera sent Mary was, Even if Howard really cheats, the fact that hes been hiding it from me shows that he cares about me. Mary, dont need your warnings; he just made a mistake that any man could make. If you dont tell me, maybe hell return to the family after a while on his own! dont need your warnings!
Such infatuation was beyond salvation.
Mary simply didnt bother explaining further and only said, Mr. Ellis, you just promised me that as long as my request isnt excessive, you would agree to it!
Elliss eyes instantly became icy cold. Was Mary determined to punish Keera? He took a deep breath and suddenly lowered his gaze, hiding the icy chill within. Are you sure you want to make this request? Indeed. Fine, agree, said Ellis indifferently, lifting his head, his eyes filled with a cold intent. But the favor you just 11.56 39 291 Marys Choice borrowed from me, you have to return it now. Mary was startled. She pursed her lips, knowing what Ellis was referring 1. Her uncle agreed to let her off today because he misunderstood that Ellis was interested in her. If Ellis went to clarify it himself Her future days might become even harder. But thinking of Keeras desire for a divorce, for the company and the villa, as well as freedom, she eventually clenched her fist. Okay. Ellis hung up. At this moment, Mary still hadnt realized the consequences of enraging Ellis. She just breathed a sigh of relief, then started the car and headed home.
On the way, she even sent a WhatsApp message to Keera. Keera, did something big today! Ill tell you all about it some other day!

Thinking back to the passionate encounter with Ellis, a hint of shyness appeared on her face. Soon, she arrived home.
She parked the car and quickly entered the house.
But as soon as she stepped in, her pace came to an abrupt halt.
Before her, she saw her parents kneeling on the floor of the hall, while her eldest uncle sat in front of them with several bodyguards.
Mary faltered in her steps. She tensed her jaw, her whole body freezing. She took a step forward and called out gently, Dad, Mom Mary

Marys eyes widened in shock. She cried out and tried to rush over, but the bodyguards blocked her way!

But those bodyguards were professional, robust, and impossible to break away from. Uncle, stop hitting him, please stop! If you keep going, it could be fatal! beg you! Mary cried out with a piercing voice, tears and snot streaming down her face.
It was only then that her eldest uncle finally stopped.
