332 Chapter 331
Ellis subconsciously took two steps toward Mary, and then he saw Keera and Lewis rushing into the crowd, which made him pause slightly.
He let out a sneer and continued to look down at the wine glass in his hand.
Keira hadnt expected Mary to encounter such an incident either; she hurried over upon hearing the commotion and had just gotten close when she heard the crisp sound of a slap.
She immediately pushed through the crowd and charged in, positioning Mary behind herself, and then turned to Chad. What gives you the right to hit people?!
Chad fixed his gaze on her. On the grounds of the Davis familys ancestral teachings! am her elder brother! If she doesnt respect or love herself, have every right to teach her a lesson!
Keira countered. Thats domestic abuse!
Chad circumvented her and turned to Mary, Mary,

come and tell us. Do my hitting you count as domestic violence?!
Marys face had already begun to swell up.
She was holding her head down, covering her face with her hands.
Keira argued. Getting pregnant before marriage is her right! Chad, youre infringing on her personal freedom by doing this!
Chad was already pointing at her, berating loudly. Sure, getting pregnant before marriage is her right, but did she ever consider, after getting pregnant, what kind of impact that would have on the women of the Davis family? Did you not just hear? What have the Davis familys women been reduced to in peoples imaginations? If dont discipline her? Who would dare marry any woman from the Davis family in the future?!
The rumors about the wealthy second-generation were already quite messy out there.
The five major families put a premium on face and honor, hence they manage both boys and girls quite strictly.

In such matters, its often the girls who were at a disadvantage, so they were governed even more strictly.
Under the deliberate guidance of Christina and Victoria just now, everyone had already formed a bad impression of the Davis familys women.
Chads words were spot on; if this matter passed without clarity, the reputation of the Davis familys women would suffer, and marrying off would be difficult-doubt would be cast upon their honor!
Upon hearing this, Keiras brow furrowed. She was about to speak when suddenly Mary pushed her arm away from behind. Keera, this has nothing to do with
you. Mary emerged from behind Keira and came in front of
Chad.
She looked directly at Chad, then turned her head to the crowd. My personal behavior has nothing to do with the Davis family. Chad was about to retort, but Mary looked at him
again. Brother, since Ive made a mistake, and as a woman of the Davis family, should accept

punishment. Lets go with the family law!
At these words, Chads eyes widened in disbelief,
You
Mary said, Lets carry out the punishment right here, so everyone can see how strict the Davis family rules are! Dont let my actions tarnish the Davis familys reputation.
Chad was startled by her demeanor.
Even Christina couldnt help but exclaim, Family rules? My god, Ive heard the Davis familys punishment is flogging, and their whips have barbs Those barbs would peel away a layer of skin This girl hasnt been chaste. How many lashes will she get?
Chad was stumped for a moment and didnt answ Mary answered for him, Five lashes!
Christina then exclaimed in shock. Heavens, after fiv lashes, wont her back be left without good skin? Mary, are you sure about this? You could just say who your boyfriend is, and have Uncle Davis advocate for you and arrange an engagement, couldnt you? Why go to such lengths?

Chad couldnt bear to whip Mary either and quietly urged her, Mary, please tell us! Father and will take care of you! Who on earth is the father of the child? Just tell us who the childs father is, and we can talk
about what to do next. Theres no need to resort to
flogging!
The whip was still coated with salt water and chili water, causing unbearable pain when it lashed the skin.
When Chad was a child, his love for play was intense. Once he lied and underwent the family discipline invoked by his father, feeling as if his soul was nearly
torn out with each lash.
Therefore, he couldnt bear to see Mary suffer the
same way.
Yet, Mary clenched her fists tightly and kept her mouth firmly closed, adamantly refusing to speak. She couldnt speak, because even if she did, Ellis would
never admit it.
Why should she humiliate herself?
Mary lowered her head, saying nothing.
332 Chapter 331
Seeing this, Chad, frustrated with her obstinacy, blurted out, Mary, why are you so stubborn! Even if the father of your child is a commoner, the Davis family can accept it! Why wont you speak? Is it true what Christina said, that you dont know who the father of your child is?!
His words were met with Marys continued silence.
Chad, exasperated, couldnt help but look around and say, Is that man here? Look, Mary, he hasnt come forward to protect you yet. Is he worth all this?
Mary remained silent. Chad was on the verge of madness, seeing no end to the dragging issue, he had no choice but to infor he family head, Ken.
Ken rushed over in haste and, seeing Marys condi and the crowd around, along with some journalists who had been specifically invited

He turned to Mary. Mary, Im giving you one last chance, are you sure you wont talk? Mary shook her head.
Ken took a deep breath and then looked around. Isnt there anyone who will come forward to admit it? Nowadays, free love is acceptable. As long as you step forward, the Davis family wont do anything to you we could even prepare a generous dowry for Mary!

As she was about to say something, Lewis said indifferently, I wont help with that kind of favor. Keira didnt know what to say.
Asking Lewis to acknowledge the child was indeed asking too much. But she really couldnt bear to watch Mary suffer like
