My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire -
Chapter 296
296 Father and Daughter
Mary’s attitude toward him suddenly became inexplicably strange, which made Ellis very uncomfortable.
Even though he was willing to help Keera get through this tough time, he couldn’t help but utter such an
annoying statement, all to make Mary take back her words. “My matters are none of Mr. Ellis’s concern.”

Ellis could see that Mary’s attitude had softened.
He remembered how she had once begged him not to help Howard for Keera’s sake, so this time, for the sake of her best friend, she would surely lower her head
again…
Just as he thought this, sure enough, he saw Mary begin to speak, “I…”
At that moment, a cold voice came through. “Our matters are none of your business.”
Ellis was dumbfounded.
He slightly turned his head and saw Keera, who looked exactly like Keira except for the absence of a mole at
296 Father and Daughter
the corner of her eye.
For some reason, in the instant he looked at her, the coldness in Keera’s eyes made him feel as if he were facing Keira herself!
Unfortunately, in a moment of panic, Keera’s gaze lost its aggressiveness, becoming ordinary and gentle. She seemed unable to meet his gaze, having already looked away elsewhere.
A mischievous anger began to rise in Ellis’s heart.
What was happening today? Things just kept happening!
For some reason, in front of Mary, he didn’t want his commands to be defied. He scoffed. “You don’t need my help? So, are you planning to sell the villa? Or t company? Oh, your company is currently burdened with so much debt that probably no one would take over. Are you considering selling the villa? But the re estate market is not doing well now, and it would take quite some time before you could sell that villa…” Mary immediately protested “The villa can’t be sold! Keera, as you said before, that’s the only thing your foster parents left you. You can’t sell it!”

Ellis sneered, “If you don’t sell it, where will you get the money from? Without using my power, are you
planning to sacrifice your charm again, to please a few
men, to win over your uncle’s favor so that he will speak for you?”
Mary was shocked.
She really wanted to sew Ellis’s mouth shut!
Even if she spent all her savings to help Keera out, she wouldn’t ask this man for a single thing again!
With that in mind, Mary grabbed Keera’s hand. “Mr. Ellis, are you so idle that you love meddling in our business? I really thank you for rescuing us from Lynch, but we don’t need to trouble you with other
matters!”
Leaving that statement behind, she led Keera out t
door!
Ellis was perplexed.
Watching the two women walking out the door, he wa at a loss as to what had just happened!
He turned to look at his assistant and couldn’t help asking, “I came here with good intentions to save her.
10:32

Shouldn’t she be grateful to me? How could she talk to
me like this?!”
The assistant remained silent.
“She didn’t have this attitude toward me when she was drugged yesterday. Me, being as handsome as I am, and after sleeping with her, how could she not like
me?”
Moreover, that was his first time!
The assistant didn’t know what to say.
Ellis, rubbing his chin, continued. “There must be an issue here! Could it be that she doesn’t like men?”
Then, thinking again of how close Keera and Mary were when they left…
Ellis immediately shook his head. He must not
overthink!
However, Mary and Keera could just be stubborn! Th lawsuit was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, so they didn’t drop the case by tomorrow, they would really end up losing money!
Thinking of this, Ellis instructed his assistant. “Help me arrange a visit to Davis Corporation tomorrow to see
10:32
296 Father and Daughter
Uncle Davis.”
The “uncle” he referred to was, of course, the head of
Davis Corporation.
Ellis was to be the next head of the Olsen family, and since Uncle Olsen no longer dealt with the affairs, Ellis managed the company. When he visited the Davis family, it was only natural that the head of the Davis family would receive him.
After Keira was dragged out of the hotel by Mary, Mary sneezed.
Keira immediately booked another room, went downstairs to buy cold medicine for her, and helped her to take a hot shower. Mary then curled up und the blankets.
Once her temperature had returned to normal, Keir said, “Mary, how could you make such a sacrifice for me?”
Mary waved her hand dismissively. “Don’t get sentimental. It’s not all for you! My parents were locked up by Uncle Davis, and there’s my
grandmother… Uncle Davis said that
Ong as I
296 Father and Daughter
helped him, he would let my grandparents be buried together, which is my grandmother’s only wish.”
Keira understood.
She hadn’t really known that Mary’s situation was so
dire…
Wasn’t Mary in a similar position to Jake in the Horton family?
a
After Lewis became the family head, the first branch of the family should actually have split off. Jake, being descendant of the first branch, wouldn’t be part of the main Horton family lineage in the next generation.
But if it hadn’t been for his later misdeeds, Jake would still have had a significant say in the Horton Grop at least in contracts worth millions. He would have
able to call the shots…
So naturally, she assumed that Mary also had a sa Davis Corporation.
She gave some cold medicine to Mary. “Take this to prevent catching a cold.”
When she turned back, she saw Mary looking at her with a guilty expression. “Keera, I was impulsive toda
10:32
296 Father and Daughter
I shouldn’t have offended Mr. Ellis just because of my pride. Howard told me that you had helped Uncle Olsen before. If you and Howard get divorced, now is the time to ask Ellis for help. He would intervene.”
After all, she had paid a high price last time to keep Ellis from getting involved.
Upon hearing this, Keira handed her the cold medicine. “I know what to do. Don’t overthink it.”
But Mary thought she was just comforting her. “Keera, Mr. Ellis probably hasn’t gone far. Why don’t we go find him right now? When faced with important issues, how can we still be angry with hi?! I was so foolish!”
Her pride had prevented her from asking Ellis for help at the moment.
But now, she regretted it!
Twenty million!
Keera’s personality was such that she didn’t like to anyone anything, so she wouldn’t use Mary’s money.. Surely Mary couldn’t really let Keera and Amy live without a place of their own

However, Keira said. “I wasn’t speaking out of anger just now.”
Mary was startled, “What?”
Keira took her hand. “Tomorrow, I’ll go with you to Davis Corporation.”
Mary clenched her jaw, “Do you want to ask them to extend the time? Keera, Davis Corporation has strict rules and regulations. Once a lawsuit has been filed, it’s not that easy to retract it without a good reason…” “I won’t,” Keira said firmly. “I’ll ask for a partnership.”
When Ellis returned home, he found the light on in Uncle Olsen’s study.
He paused for a moment before heading there.
Keera had come to her senses and was starting to for her divorce; that meant the woman wasn’t bey hope. If so, then it was time to tell Uncle Olsen and let the father and daughter meet!
