Slap in the Face
Mary clutched her hair with both hands, revealing an expression of sheer panic when Mr. Lynch dragged her into the bathroom.
….
Then Mr. Lynch threw her to the ground and immediately turned on the showerhead above, spraying water directly at her.
The icy water splashed onto her body, making her tremble. She tried to escape, but the door was guarded by Mr. Lynch, and she couldn’t get out.
Mary pushed the water out of her hair with her hand and saw Mr. Lynch leering at her breasts.
Suddenly, she remembered the white clothes her uncle had brought over today, which, if wet…
Looking down, she indeed saw that the clothes were sticking to her body.
She was so frightened that she quickly covered her chest with her hands, looking at Mr. Lynch with terror, “Don’t…”
However, Mr. Lynch leered as he took two steps forward.
He then reached out, about to pull Mary into his embrace…
Just at that moment…
The door was kicked open with a bang, and a group of people rushed in.
Mr. Lynch was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed dramatically, and he turned around to curse. “Who the fuck are you? Do you know…”
But the rest of his words were stuck in his throat when he saw who had come.
It was Ellis Olsen!
He was dressed in a black suit, and although his face usually carried a playful smile, now it was a bit serious as his dangerous gaze fell on Mr. Lynch. “Where’s Mary?”
Mr. Lynch gulped, subconsciously glancing toward the bathroom.
At that moment, Mary was crouching in the corner, the cold shower still running over her. She hugged her shoulders tightly, trying to curl herself into a ball.
It was partly to avoid the coldness and partly to protect herself…
She thought she would be ruined here today.
But unexpectedly, she heard a voice of redemption at the door, and instinctively lifted her head to see Ellis striding in.
Mary’s eyes reddened slightly.
At this moment, she felt such a sense of grievance wash over her that she wanted nothing more than to cry her heart out, to vent the repression and rage inside her.
But she also felt bewildered.
Why had Ellis suddenly come? Did he care about her…?
When Ellis entered and saw Mary crouching on the ground, his eyes flashed with coldness!
She was under him the other day. She was soft and would cry out lightly with just a bit of force, ye she had turned into this!
He felt an unnamed rage rising from his chest and quickly stepped forward to turn off the water, then he took off his suit jacket and draped it over Mary.
After that, he helped Mary to her feet.
Outside, Ellis’s assistant had just taken control of Mr. Lynch. Upon seeing Ellis assisting Mary out of the bathroom, he couldn’t help swallowing nervously. “Mr. Ellis, what happened between Miss Davis and me tonight was consensual; we were merely engaging in some playful fun…”
These words made Mary feel anger boiling up inside her.
She had been forced here by her uncle, and as soon as she entered, she was dragged into the bathroom by Mr. Lynch; how could it have been consensual?!
She took a deep breath, about to say something, when she heard a cold voice next to her ear. “Mary, is what he’s saying true?”
Mary was stunned.
All the words she wanted to hurl at them just got stuck in her throat; she turned in disbelief, looking at Ellis, “What?”
Ellis frowned. “I asked if what happened between you and Mr. Lynch was consensual.”
Mary fell silent.
She was suddenly reminded of what Ellis had asked her yesterday, “This isn’t your first time, is it?”
So in his eyes, she had been nothing but a socialite from the very beginning!
She trembled slightly, feeling like there was a hole in her heart with cold wind whizzing inside, colder than being under the cold shower!
She clenched her fists tightly, and a twisted smile formed on her lips.
She silently pushed him away and took off the suit jacket that bore his warmth. Giving it back to him, she whispered, “Don’t get your coat dirty.”
Ellis was taken aback, frowning in confusion at her. Mary’s clothes were soaking wet at the moment, clinging to her body and exposing her graceful figure. Ellis didn’t understand why she was taking off the jacket, especially since she had just protected her private areas in the bathroom.
He merely glanced at the men in the room, and the bodyguards who had entered with him immediately lowered their heads, shifting their gazes away, daring not to look at her.
After getting everyone’s attention off her, Ellis looked at Mary and sneered. “You can’t possibly be here willingly, can you?”
Mary’s lowered eyelashes trembled. Just as she was about to speak, a harsh voice came from the doorway, “Ellis, what kind of nonsense are you asking!”
Keira strode in. When she realized that something might have happened to Mary, Ellis had rushed over immediately; she had to make sure Amy was settled before coming. She heard Ellis’s words as soon as she entered the door and felt a surge of anger!
After entering the room and seeing Mary’s state, she took off her coat and put it on her, then wrapped an arm around her shoulder, her sharp eyes turning to face Mr. Lynch. Mr. Lynch felt a chill down his spine under her stare.
Keira stepped forward and, before anyone could react, kicked him squarely in the groin!
“Ah!” Mr. Lynch’s agonized scream echoed throughout the hotel room as he curled on the floor, clutching his privates, writhing in pain.
Keira wanted to kick him again, but one kick could be said to be Keira losing her temper; another would not fit Keira’s persona, so she could only withdraw her foot as she coldly looked at Mr. Lynch.
But the very next moment, Ellis approached and stepped on him. “Damn! Mary wasn’t willing to do this and you were lying to me?! Aren’t you going to tell the truth?!”
Mr. Lynch, feeling as if his injured part was about to explode the next moment, swallowed hard and immediately started talking. “I’ll talk, I’ll talk. It was her uncle who said he controlled her parents and forced her to come here… He also said she was to serve me well tonight…”
Ellis’s expression darkened, and he suddenly put more force on his foot!
“Crack.”
A sound of something breaking could be heard, and Mr. Lynch passed out from the pain this time. This act made all the men in the room feel a twinge of sympathetic pain!
After doing this, Ellis turned to look at Mary again and said with a puzzled frown, “I knew it. How could you possibly be attracted to such a sleazy man?”
Mary remained silent. She felt her anger rise in waves. Staring at Ellis, she said coldly, “My affairs are none of your concern, Mr. Ellis.”
“None of my concern?” Ellis scoffed. “With just the two of you, can you get through this divorce unscathed?”
He stepped forward, coming close to Mary, and looked down at her. “Just with you and her, you could only come up with such a clumsy plot. Howard has indeed signed the divorce papers, but what comes next? Do I need to mention the two million compensation for Davis Corporation?”
He glanced at Mary. “Do you think that with your position in Davis Corporation, you could easily talk Keira out of paying? Or are you planning to pay the two million for her?”
Mary’s pupils shrank. Ellis immediately caught on. “Oh, so you were planning to pay the two million for her! But do you think with Keira’s character, she would take it?”
Mary was shocked. Without mentioning it, she could have secretly given the money, and this issue would have been settled, but now that he had spoken aloud, how could Keira possibly allow her to repay the money?! This Ellis always knew how to spoil her plans!
As Mary felt her anger boiling, she saw Ellis smile. “This matter still requires my intervention. Since you’re asking for help, you should show some courtesy… don’t you think, Mary?”
Mary was dumbfounded. Her chest heaved even more. How could she have ever thought Ellis was a gentleman? He was clearly a scoundrel!
Ellis noticed her anger and continued smiling. “So, do I still need to concern myself with your affairs?”
