330 Chapter 329 Mary paused immediately when she saw Ellis.
She threw the tissue into the trash can nearby and then stood up straight, tidying the messy hair that had fallen over her face as she had been looking down.
Then, she finally said, Mr. Olsen, this is the ladies restroom, believe.
know, he said languidly, leaning against the wall. I just came to see your pitiful state. Whats the matter? Is your pregnancy making you feel so awful? Wouldnt it be easier to just terminate it?
Hearing those words, Mary trembled. She clenched her fingers and said, This is a private matter, and its not your concern.
Seeing her like this, Ellis sneered. Then apologize for meddling! But as an unmarried woman, once your pregnancy becomes public, it wont reflect well on you,
will it?
Mary tensed her jaw, not wanting to speak, and walked directly past him. 118

Ellis followed her. What? Struck a nerve, have ? really dont understand why youre so insistent on keeping the child. Are you planning on having the baby to claim some benefits from the father?
Marys chest heaved with agitation at his words.
Once she left the restroom, she stopped abruptly and turned to face Ellis. Think whatever you want! Ellis frowned, feeling irked, Who exactly is the father of your child?
Mary stared at him. Ive told you before. Its you.
Ellis scoffed. And Ive told you, it cant be me. Mary, dont overestimate your allure, thinking that a man would be willing to wear a cuckolds horns for you!
Mary was infuriated by his words and clenched her fists tightly. In three months, Ill get an amniocentesis, and well test the DNA!
Still clinging to hope, see. Fine, whos afraid?
Ellis, finding her impervious to reason, turned and left.
The two walked in opposite directions, conveying a sense of parting ways for good.

330 Chapter 329
In the restroom, Victoria and Christina suddenly emerged from a stall.
They had overheard the conversation in the restroom but missed what Ellis and Mary said after they left. However, the dialogue was already explosive enough!
Mary was pregnant?
And an unplanned pregnancy!
Her reputation in the circle wasnt great before, and now with this, who would dare to marry her in the future?
Christina thought about the slap she got from Keera that day, the way Mary stood in front of Keera defending her, and then how Mary had just helped Keera retort against her. A smile suddenly curled on her lips.
She grabbed Victorias arm. Victoria, lets go. Theres a good show to watch outside! The two left and headed toward where Mary was.
Mary, being beautiful and a member of the Davis family, naturally had many admirers. A few executives from Olsen Group were there and

went up to her with glasses in hand.
Director Davis, congratulations on your promotion to Head of the Investment Department! Lets have a toast to your future success!
After saying his piece, the man emptied his glass and then gestured for Mary to do the same. Seeing this, Mary instinctively covered her stomach.
She suddenly smiled. I apologize, but my stomach is a bit upset today. Ill have to drink tea instead of alcohol. She reached out and picked up the teacup next to her.
Just as she was about to drink, Christinas voice came through. Director Davis, isnt that somewhat disrespectful? As Christina said, she already walked up to Mary.
Her face was all smiles, showing no sign of her previous hostility. She picked up a wine glass and said, Director Davis, was being petty before and targeted you. Let me offer a drink as an apology. You have to at least drink this glass, right?

After she finished speaking, she put a glass of
bu 23
champagne in Marys hand and then picked up another glass of champagne and downed it in one go.
Her hearty demeanor drew sidelong glances from the people around, and they all mentally gave her a thumbs-up.
Christina then looked at Mary. I know youre not feeling well today, so a symbolic sip will do. The champagne isnt that strong. But Mary furrowed her brows.
Being pregnant, she shouldnt drink alcohol, and now, with her heightened sensitivity to smells, how could she possibly drink it? She said, Sorry, but today
Before she could finish, Christina said, Director Davi everyone here knows you can hold your liquor very well. You wouldnt refuse to drink today, would you?
Mary clenched her jaw tighter, Indeed, it is not appropriate for me to drink today.
Why is it not appropriate? remember a quote of yours that circulates in our circle, There is no liquor that cant be drunk, only a heart that lacks sincerity.
00:23 58 330 Chapter 329
So, are you saying you lack sincerity towards me and everyone else? Or is it because youve just been promoted that you look down on people now?
The person who had just come to toast Mary was also one of the executives of the Davis Corporation. He happened to be in charge of the investment department, essentially Marys superior.
Toasting was simply a gesture of respect and esteem. If Mary didnt drink, it could indeed come off as disrespectful. Hearing this, even his face changed
color. Marys brow furrowed even more.
Christina pushed the wine glass toward her and said, Director Davis, if were you, would definitely drink that. Otherwise, it wouldnt look good for anyone.
The glass of wine was placed right under Marys nose.
The scent of the alcohol hit her full on, immediately causing another cramp in her stomach and making her suddenly cover her mouth, turning to run toward the
restroom.
But her arm was suddenly grabbed by Christina.

330 Chapter 329
Director Davis, are you feeling unwell? Surely, youre not pretending just to avoid drinking?
Victoria said, Director Davis, if you dont want to drink, you can just say soy. Theres no need to pretend we all understand.
The executive who had just come to offer the toast turned even darker in the face.
He scoffed and said, Director Davis, if you dont want to rink, themforget wasxheoniivh didnt understand my place! The content is on BearNovels! Read the latest chapter there!
He turned and was ready to leave.
The rest of the executives from Davis Corporation also showed contemptuous expressions.
They had previously thought Mary to be hard-working and promising, which was why they came to bond with her, but could it be that she now felt she was above them since she was part of the Davis family?
Mary, seeing this, understood she needed to make a
choice!
On one side was the relationship with her colleagues, which could easily lead to misunderstandings if not 00:23:

On the other was her pregnancy.
She didnt think being pregnant was
