Mr. Jones was slightly startled and turned around abruptly.
There before him was Tom who, just yesterday, had been giving them the cold shoulder but now
approached him with a full-faced smile, extending his hand. "Nice to meet you!"
Mr. Jones looked at him in a daze, "Mr. Davis?"
Tom said, "Did you bring the contract?"
Mr. Jones said, "... Yes, I did."
"Good, let me take a look at the contract. If there's nothing wrong, let's sign the agreement today!"
Mr. Jones followed Tom into the office in a daze and still felt like he was dreaming when he walked out with the signed contract.
He returned home in a daze.
Mrs. Jones saw his expression and thought the deal hadn't gone through, so she immediately asked, "What happened? You weren't chased out by the
receptionist,
were you?"

Mr. Jones handed over the contract to her.
Mrs. Jones glanced at it and she, too, was stunned.
Mr. Jones looked at her. "Tell me, what kind of person is your lifesaver from yesterday, exactly?"
Mrs. Jones touched her chin, pondered for a moment, and couldn't help looking at him. "Is it because I did a good deed, and this is my reward for being a good person?"
Mr. Jones nearly rolled his eyes. "Do you believe that?"
"No."
Mr. Jones then said, "Forget it. Whatever their background is, our dealings with them aren't for personal gain anyway!"
Mrs. Jones was also open-minded. "That's right!"
The next day, Keira didn't take Amy to the early
education class.
Before, Keera had sent her there to avoid Howard's mother, who was always scolding her at home, and later she also sent the child there as a trap for

Howard's mother.
Now that she and Howard were divorced and the house had quieted down, she simply withdrew Amy from that school.
A two-year-old child, who lacked a sense of security so much, needed to stay close to her mother.
Furthermore, since Christina's scheme hadn't worked out, she was afraid something else might come up, and she didn't want Amy to always be aggrieved.
Hearing that she didn't have to go to school anymore, Amy's face blossomed into a smile, and Keira stayed home to play with her for a while before receiving a video call from Mary.
Mary placed her phone on the coffee table. "Amy, c give your godmother a kiss!" Amy then shyly smiled and buried her head into Keira's
embrace.
Mary couldn't help but complain. "Look, my goddaughter isn't even close to me anymore. Keera, it's all your fault for blocking me for half a year..."
Keira wanted to make some excuses for her sister but
11:24
322 Chapter 321
wasn't sure what to say when she heard Mary say, "But that's okay, in the half- year you blocked me, I reflected on myself. I wasn't considerate enough. Only a person starved of love could be deceived by that scum Howard."
Mary then looked at the phone. "In the future, I'll love you even more!"
Keira suddenly laughed, feeling that the friendship between her sister and Mary
wasn't so easily fractured. She really didn't need to explain anything.
Keira wanted to speak but suddenly heard through Mary's video call the sound of a door being kicked open with a "bang"...
Immediately after, Mary's parents rushed in.
Mary was also stunned, and before she could end the
video call, she turned her head just as a slap landed heavily on her face!
"Slap!"
This was from her mother.
Mary covered her face, disbelief in her eyes as she
11:24-
322 Chapter 321
looked at them. "Mom, what are you doing?"
Her mother's face was livid, and upon hearing this, she immediately retorted,
"What am I doing? Why don't you tell us what you've done?!"
After that, she threw a pregnancy test report in Mary's
face!
Upon seeing the report, Mary's pupils constricted slightly, and she looked toward
her mother, trying to explain, "I, I.....”
"Who's the father of this bastard child?!"
The angry voice came from her father.
He took a step forward and glared at Mary intensel "Haven't we taught you to
respect and value yourse You cannot do such things! You got pregnant and messed around outside! How are you supposed to get
married now?!"
Mary's mother began to cry. "That's right. Are you not going on a blind date with
Mr. Horton because of this man?! Are you
confused?!"
Mary looked at them and suddenly clenched her fists. "Dad, Mom, it's foolish to
date and get pregnant, but
11:24
322 Chapter 321
it's not foolish to marry Lewis, an old widower?!"
Keira, who was beginning to worry for Mary, was dumbfounded.
She silently turned back and glanced at Lewis, who
was quietly watching her and Amy. The "old widower's" lips twitched.
That was indeed an unmerited disaster.
Keira coughed and continued to watch the video.
Mary had always had a strong presence at home, and her parents lived under her protection, so Keira didn't think much of it at the time.
But unexpectedly, after Mary said those words, Mar father took a step forward and slapped her again. "Ungrateful creature! Is Mr. Horton the same as ordinary people? If you are so capable, why don't you sleep with Mr. Horton or Mr. Ellis
and have them take responsibility for you?!"
Mary was stunned.
Her father continued to point at her and shouted, "Who will marry you now, looking like this?! If we can't marry into a wealthy family, how will your mother

I stay in this house in the future?! Even your grandmother will be driven out! She
won't be able to be buried with your grandfather! Mary, do you even
understand?!"
Upon hearing this, Mary suddenly laughed. "So, what am I in your eyes? A
commodity to trade for glory and wealth?!"
Mary's mother's expression froze. "How can you speak of me like that?"
Mary's father's face darkened. "No matter what you say, this child must be aborted! And you mustn't tell anyone about this, understand?"
Mary's mother then took out an abortion pill from pocket. "We've already bought
the medicine for you Take it now, Mary. Just do as you're told. Once you take this
medicine, in less than two hours, this
creature will be gone. Then you'll still be our pure and pristine girl..."
Mary's eyes widened.
She couldn't believe what she was seeing, just feeling chills run down her spine.
She had never thought that her own parents would

treat her like this one day... Mary looked at them in shock, her hands
subconsciously resting on her belly. "Mom, I won't take it... I want this child!"
Her mother frowned upon hearing this. "Why can't you just obey?"
