My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

Lawsuit

Mary quickly returned to the Davis home.

As soon as she entered the door and saw the people in the room, her expression immediately grew grave.

In their own villa, not only were her parents there, but so were her other uncles and aunts.

It seemed that all of the older generation of the Davis family had come!

At that moment, everyone was staring at her; her eldest aunt could hardly wait to ask, “Well? Did Mr. Ellis take a liking to you?”

Mary’s fingers tightened instantly, and she looked down.

She swallowed before saying, “No…”

“No?!”

Her eldest aunt’s voice instantly became shrill. “How could it not be? Mary, are you not gentle enough? Haven’t I told you? When you see Mr. Ellis, talk about horses more; he loves horse racing the most!”

Her eldest uncle spoke dispassionately, “Don’t rush, Mary. Tell us the details of the blind date so we can analyze it and figure out where the problem lies.”

A trace of shame and anger flashed across Mary’s face.

Her private affairs were to be laid out and scrutinized in detail?

Her father then intervened. “Brother, Sister-in-law, this, after all, is Mary’s private affair. Since Mr. Ellis didn’t take a liking, then it must mean Mary doesn’t have such a fate. I think there’s no need to dwell on it any further…”

Mary’s second uncle immediately scoffed. ” Brother, our eldest brother is the family head, and it’s his turn to speak. Is it your place to interrupt?”

Mary’s father was suddenly at a loss for words.

The aunt spoke disdainfully as well. “Brother, the Davis family was indeed once the primary line of the Davis family’s legacy, but now that the old man has passed away, we can only be considered a collateral line. If we don’t strive in this generation, soon we’ll be indistinguishable from the most distant relatives!”

Mary’s grandfather was the second son of the legitimate line of the Davis family. After the eldest took over as family head, Mary’s grandfather broke away to live on his own.

While Mary’s grandfather was still alive, the first branch of the family showed them some respect, but after the grandfather passed away, the uncle from the main branch who became the head began to tighten his control of the family’s authority, and they were gradually marginalized.

Although they still lived with dignity, in just a few more years, they would be downgraded to a second-tier influential family.

The second uncle continued. ” Brother, although we don’t share the same mother, for many years, everyone has held great expectations for Mary, hoping she could marry into the first branch of one of the other four major families and elevate our status! This opportunity was fought for by our eldest brother from the main branch only for Mary. Can you say this is her private matter? Can you justify this to our eldest brother?”

Seeing this scene, Mary clenched her fists.

Her father indeed didn’t have the same mother as these people.

Their mother was also from one of the five major families, but, unfortunately, after giving birth to their aunt, she weakened in health, fell ill, and died.

Afterward, her grandfather remarried her grandmother, who came from a minor family…

By all means, her grandmother should have been treated with respect as their mother after many years of companionship with her grandfather, but instead…

After her grandfather passed away, her eldest uncle, second uncle, and aunt joined forces to drive her grandmother out of the ancestral home. They said that since she wasn’t the original wife, even in death, she couldn’t be buried alongside Grandpa.

Although Mary could be considered a member of the Davis family, in reality, their family’s status within the Davis family was exceedingly awkward.

Her father was dutifully filial, and her grandmother was a traditional woman who didn’t wish to break away from the family, always hoping to be buried with her grandfather…

Mary thought of this and felt a sense of suffocation. Seeing her like this, her mother couldn’t help but look at her with dismay. “Mary, what exactly happened during the blind date? Just tell us…”

Mary clenched her fingers before finally speaking up. “Mr. Ellis was dissatisfied with me. I had barely sat down and hadn’t even spoken when he left.”

As soon as these words came out, one of her uncles became extremely disappointed. “With your looks, he didn’t even bother to give you a second glance?”

Mary said, “No, he didn’t.”

The aunt immediately scoffed. “A granddaughter brought up in a small family background is just useless! Brother, you insisted on giving her this opportunity. See? It was wasted! If I had known earlier, I might as well have let my daughter try! At the young people’s private gatherings, my daughter was able to speak a few words with Mr. Ellis…”

The second uncle’s wife also sneered. “Sister-in-law, your daughter isn’t a member of the Davis family, but we have plenty of daughters in our family waiting to be married. Indeed, the first branch chose wrongly this time! Who is Mr. Ellis? How would he possibly take a fancy to someone who is nothing but a pretty face with no understanding of anything?”

Mary didn’t respond to these words, but her father could no longer hold back. “Sister-in-law, how can you speak so harshly? Mary studied new energy in college, and now she’s been valued by the first branch and is in charge of the new energy research and development projects at the Davis Corporation… In her generation, she’s the first one to hold such a position! Mary is a capable and good child!”

Once he said this, the uncle from the first branch snorted coldly. “Fourth brother, since you brought it up, there’s something I have to say. I heard she abused her authority to sign a contract for her best friend’s husband. That’s utterly preposterous!”

The second uncle’s wife’s voice immediately became shrill. “What? Mary! When my maternal family’s nephew wanted to work in the New Energy Research and Development Department of the Davis Corporation, you said we couldn’t pull strings, and now for an outsider, for a best friend who is mentally deficient, you blatantly do such a thing? You must really be blinded by greed!”

Mary immediately said, “You can insult me, but don’t drag my friend into it.”

“What friend? That’s nothing but a questionable outsider! I’ve heard her husband cheated on her, and she just tolerates it. With her feeble and incompetent love-struck brain, you’re forbidden from associating with her in the future!”

The first branch’s uncle stood up and looked at her, “Mary, I gave you a chance. If Mr. Ellis had taken a liking to you, I would have turned a blind eye to your actions, but unfortunately, you failed to grasp the opportunity, and I won’t bend the rules for personal reasons anymore! That contract is on you for judging people wrongly. If their company fails to deliver the research plan tomorrow, I’ll definitely have the legal department sue them for compensation according to the contract, and at the same time, you’ll be held responsible for the investment failure! When the time comes, don’t blame me for not considering our relationship!”

Mary clenched her fists tightly. Among her peers, she was the first to pass the interview for Davis Corporation and to work there. Thus, she had long been a thorn in the side of these families. It was an investment failure, but according to the contract, if compensation could be obtained, it meant she had rectified her mistake with her investment. The first branch’s uncle was clearly looking for an excuse to fire her from Davis Corporation. Mary looked at them and, facing the leviathan that was Davis Corporation, felt somewhat powerless. But it didn’t matter. At the very least, she could help Keira divorce and escape from Howard’s clutches.

Meanwhile, Keira, after preparing dinner for Howard’s mother and Amy, entered the bedroom and took out her laptop. The laptop contained a research and development plan. Once Howard shifted all the blame onto her and divorced her, she planned to use this latest research and development plan to seek in-depth cooperation with Davis Corporation. She wouldn’t let Mary be put in a difficult position. It just occurred to her that she hadn’t mentioned this to Mary yet.

Time quickly reached the third day. The Davis Corporation’s lawsuit was delivered to Howard early in the morning.
