397 Chapter 396
Ellis paused slightly.
Everyone around was stunned, looking at him with confusion.
Austin cried out, “I fell for Mary. After all, she’s known as a high and mighty beauty in Clance. Many of us wanted to sleep with her, but since she’s the legitimate daughter of the Davis family, we didn’t dare to overstep. Later, when she fell from grace, everyone wanted to get close. We just like to brag, that’s all!”
He looked at Mary. “That last time, when she accompanied her uncle and me for dinner, I took a liking to her. Her uncle implied that she should keep me company, but as soon as her uncle left, she made up an excuse to leave. I couldn’t let her leave at that point, so I forced myself on her…”
This statement caused Ellis’s pupils to contract sharply, and he stared at Austin fiercely.
Austin immediately panicked and explained. “Hey, I haven’t finished yet… I tried to force her, but she still got away. However, I had already bragged about it that
day, and when my friends asked afterward, I couldn’t
admit that I hadn’t slept with her, right? So I just
insisted that I did!”
Austin’s crying confession silenced everyone.
After a long pause, Victoria finally said, “Then why does your article describe things so clearly, even saying that my sister-in-law has a mole on her lower back? Ellis, does Mary have one?”
Ellis remained silent.
He had read every word of that article.
God knows how furious and crazed he felt after
reading those details, especially the clear descripti of Mary’s body!
That was also why he lost his reasoning today and insisted that Mary have an abortion!
It wasn’t just the mole on her back; even the one on her chest was described explicitly.
How could anyone know so much if they hadn’t seen it
for themselves?!
His silence was an admission to the matter.
Victoria then turned to Austin. “You didn’t confess under pressure, did you?”
Keira scoffed as she looked at Victoria. Before she could speak, Austin had already shouted, “Victoria, do you have a grudge against me? I already said I didn’t sleep with her. Why do you keep harping on me? Everyone knows the mole on her back and other marks, but it doesn’t mean I slept with her. It only means someone else did!”
Austin looked at Mary. “She’s been known in our circle as a girl who gets around, so when she rejected me that day, I was furious. Now that I think about it, I understand. She’s hitched herself to Ellis, so she’s cutting ties with her former casual acquaintances fr the circle, right?”
At these words, Keira kicked him hard in the stomach, sending him sliding far away side-on, a testament to
the force of her kick!
Austin howled in pain, clutching his abdomen. “Alright, I won’t talk nonsense anymore. I’ll clear it up now. Mary and I are completely innocent! I swear, if I really
slept with her, may lightning strike me five times!”.
Everyone believed him after this declaration.
Mr. Olsen stepped forward, pushing Ellis aside, and Mrs. Olsen went to help Mary. “Mary, I’m sorry you’ve been wronged!”
Since Mary had married into the Olsen family, Mrs. Olsen had always been kind to her.
Mary was grateful. She nodded to Mrs. Olsen and then turned to Ellis.
Mrs. Olsen immediately pushed Ellis. “Ellis, you really shouldn’t have misunderstood Mary because of a few rumors! Apologize to Mary right away! You’re still newlyweds. How can you allow such
misunderstandings!”
Ellis, however, remained silent.
Mrs. Olsen wanted to say more, but James spoke first. “Aunt, don’t pressure my brother. He has his reasons! Besides, Austin only said he didn’t sleep with Mary, but who knows if anyone else did…”
“Shut up!”
“Shut up!”
Keira and Uncle Olsen scolded at the same time and
then looked at each other.
Uncle Olsen gazed at her with clear, upright eyes.
Keira coughed and turned away.
But James’s eyes wandered between the two, finally curling his lips in disdain.
Keera and Uncle Olsen really were in sync!
As she thought about this, Keira had already turned to Ellis. “In a few days, the embryo will be three months old. At that time, we can do the amniocentesis and check the DNA, can’t we? Are you saying
you can’t even wait a few days?”
Mrs. Olsen also said, “Ellis, I don’t know what has happened between you and Mary, but since you married, Mary has been either at home or with Miss Keera. I have seen everything she does, and sometim when judging a person, we can’t always rely on rumors. She may have had her reasons for
accompanying drinkers in the past, and there must be some misunderstanding between you two.”
Ellis still didn’t speak.
Mrs. Olsen then went to Mary’s side. “Mary, as long as there’s even a slight chance that the child is Ellis’s, I’m willing to wait for you to prove your innocence!”
Mary’s eyes reddened in an instant.
In Mrs. Olsen, she saw the maternal love and kindness she had never seen from her own mother.
Mr. Olsen also said, “Right, I think you and Ellis should live separately for now. Rest assured, we won’t let Ellis hurt you again before the DNA test!”
“Don’t bother.”
Keira’s voice was cold as she spoke. “Mary, come with
me.”
“Why should she?”
Before anyone else could speak, James intervened. “Keera, aren’t you meddling too much? This is the Olsen family’s affair! My brother and sister-in-law jus have a small misunderstanding. What right do you have to take someone away?”
Keira still ignored this idiot and instead looked at Ellis. “I’m taking Mary with me. When the three months are up, I’ll take her and you to get tested, at my own facility.”
Leaving these words behind, she went over and took Mary’s hand. “Let’s go.”
All these people had gathered here, yet not a single one prevented Ellis from doing the ridiculous thing. That made Keira furious.
She didn’t trust leaving Mary here any longer.
Mary wanted to protect the child too, so she followed behind her. With Lewis joining them, the three headed outside, prompting the butler to immediately look at Uncle Olsen.
If Uncle Olsen gestured, he would immediately call people to intercept them.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Olsen just pursed his lips and didn’t object.
The butler was dumbfounded.
The Olsen family watched as Keira barged in and took the person away. Only after her and Lewis’s car noises had faded into the distance did James turn to Uncle Ölsen. “Uncle, she’s too arrogant…”
“Shut up!”
The reply to him was another short retort from Uncle Olsen.
This time, James was truly annoyed. “Uncle, how can you do this? For the sake of a woman, you let Ellis suffer such an insult! Have you gone senile? Besides, that woman clearly isn’t any good. She even brought a gigolo in with her. She has shown you no respect, are you blind? Didn’t you see it? Or are you like Ellis, actually enjoying being a cuckold?”
Uncle Olsen was startled at these words. “What cuckold?”
