Chapter 439
Hearing that, everyone present was momentarily taken aback.
….
Mrs. Olsen looked at Mary, puzzled. “Do you dare to go with us for amniocentesis?”
Mary’s chin tilted slightly upward. “I have never done anything to wrong the Olsen family. What is there to fear?!”
Mrs. Olsen then became suspicious. “Could this child really be…”
“Enough!”
Suddenly, Ellis roared, bypassing several elders to step forward.
He walked straight up to Mary, staring at her intensely, then suddenly grabbed her chin, forcing her to lift her head and look at him.
Upon seeing this, Keira immediately stepped forward. “Ellis, let go!”
However, Mary waved her off. “Keera, you don’t need to worry about me.”
Mary took hold of Ellis’s hand herself and forcefully pushed him away.
Ellis’s eyes turned red as he stared fixedly at her. “Even now, you insist this child is mine… Mary, do you have any idea how you’ve made me the laughingstock of all of Clance?!”
Mary bit her lip and remained silent.
Ken stepped forward. “Mr. Ellis, let’s not get emotional. It’s better to settle the matter first. There are two options now: one is to announce to the public that Mary isn’t pregnant, that the pregnancy was a misunderstanding, and then quietly take care of the baby. The second is… divorce.”
Before Ellis could speak, Mary immediately said, “I choose the second option.”
Ellis was taken aback, and his expression turned even darker.
He stared at Mary, unable to understand why she had such deep feelings for someone else’s child and was so resolute!
Ken then looked at Ellis. “Mr. Ellis, what do you think? If we agree on a divorce, the Davis family will admit our mistake publicly and hold a press conference, saying it’s our fault for not supervising our daughter well and that this has nothing to do with the Olsen family.”
These words made Wayne shout, “Ken, how can you do this? Our family’s reputation will be destroyed. How will you explain it to our shareholders when the time comes?”
“Shut your mouth!”
After scolding him, Ken once again turned to Mary, his voice grim. “You’re a part of the Davis family. Even after splitting households, I never planned to disown you! Since you married into the Olsen family representing the Davis family, if something happens, we cannot just stand by!”
He looked at Ellis again. “Mr. Ellis, which option do you choose?”
Ellis’s gaze dropped, and the fingers in his pocket tightened slightly before he slowly said, “If we divorce, wouldn’t it be telling the world that I was indeed cuckolded?!”
Leaving that hanging, he continued. “Therefore, the first option is the best choice for both families!”
This made Ken immediately overcome with gratitude. “Mr. Ellis, you’re so generous! The first option is indeed the best way for our families to deal with the media! However, you’ll have to bear the brunt.”
Ellis looked at Ken without saying a word.
Mr. and Mrs. Olsen, however, said, “Ellis, you don’t have to compromise for the sake of the family! Life is long, and if you hold a grudge against Mary, it might be better to separate.”
Ellis didn’t say anything. He glanced at his parents, then back at Mary, and then said fiercely, “Let’s go with the first option. I never planned to marry in this life anyway. She schemed against me, so she must pay the price! I want her to spend her life trapped in the Olsen family as her penance!” Upon hearing this, Mr. Olsen disagreed. “Ellis, marriage is not child’s play, nor a tool for holding grudges. You might as well let her go and free yourself as well!”
Mrs. Olsen also nodded. “Given how things are, I think it’s better to let each other go.”
Ellis immediately shouted, “Why should I? She has humiliated me so much, let’s settle it this way!”
After saying this, he turned to look at Mary. The mere thought of Mary choosing the second option, wanting to leave him, made him feel like he was about to explode in anger! He realized that he had fallen for Mary… But how could she be so heartless?
While Ellis was thinking, Mary had already lowered her head, a bitter smile crossing her face. It took a moment before she looked up again at Ellis. “I want to have the amniocentesis.”
Ellis asked, “Why humiliate yourself like this?”
“Won’t we know whether it’s self-humiliation after it’s done?!”
Mary’s voice remained calm, having grown accustomed to such doubts and suspicions.
As Ellis wanted to say more, suddenly a group of reporters, appearing out of nowhere, ran over with cameras pointed at them.
Someone passed a microphone forward. “Mr. Olsen, Miss Davis, why are both your families gathered here?”
“Is it because of the azoospermia issue mentioned online?”
“If Mr. Olsen has azoospermia, how did this child come about?”
“Could you give us an explanation for the media?”
“Mr. Ellis, did you marry Miss Davis willingly, or was it a familial arrangement?”
“Miss Davis, your child must have been conceived before marriage, right? After all, I remember you’ve only been married for two months…”
“With the Olsen family’s stock price plummeting so fiercely, Mr. Ellis, is there anything you’d like to say?”
“Mr. Ellis, is your azoospermia due to years of horseback riding? If you have no descendants in the future, will you still be the heir to the Olsen family?”
“Mr. Ellis, can I ask a personal question? Are azoospermia patients incapable in that regard?”
“Mr. Ellis…”
