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, sprayingwater directly at her.
The icy water splashed onto her body, making her tremble. She tried to escape, but the door wasguarded by Mr. Lynch, and she couldnât 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 wetâ¦
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,
âDonâtâ¦â
However, Mr. Lynch leered as he took two steps

forward.
He then reached out, about to pull Mary into his
embraceâ¦
Just at that momentâ¦
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 aroundto curse. âWho the fuck are you? Do you
knowâ¦â
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 bitserious as his dangerous gaze fell on Mr. Lynch. âWhereâs Mary?â
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 huggedher
shoulders tightly, trying to curl herself into a ball.
It was partly to avoid the coldness and partly to protect herselfâ¦
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 seeEllis striding in.
Maryâs eyes reddened slightly.
At this moment, she felt such a sense of grievance wash over her that she wanted nothing more than tocry her heart out, to vent the repression and rage
inside her.
But she also felt bewildered.
Why had Ellis suddenly come? Did he care abou
When Ellis entered and saw Mary crouching on t 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 sheh turned into this!

He felt an unnamed rage rising from his chest and quickly stepped forward to turn off the water, then hetook off his suit jacket and draped it over Mary.
After that, he helped Mary to her feet.
Outside, Ellisâs assistant had just taken control of Mr. Lynch. Upon seeing Ellis assisting Mary out of thebathroom, he couldnât help swallowing nervously. âMr. Ellis, what happened between Miss Davis andme tonight was consensual; we were merely engaging in some playful funâ¦â
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 thebathroom b Mr. Lynch; how could it have been consensual?!
She took a deep breath, about to say something, w she heard a cold voice next to her ear. âMary, iswha heâs saying true?â
Mary was stunned.
All the words she wanted to hurl at them just got stuck in her throat; she turned in disbelief, looking atEllis,
âWhat?â
Ellis frowned. âI asked if what happened between you and Mr. Lynch was consensual.â
Mary fell silent.
She was suddenly reminded of what Ellis had asked her yesterday, âThis isnât your first time, is it?â
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, colderthan 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,whispered, âDonât get your coat dirty.â
Ellis was taken aback, frowning in confusion at her.
Maryâs clothes were soaking wet at the moment, clinging to her body and exposing her gracefulfigureâ¦
Ellis didnât 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 immediatelylowered their heads, shifting their gazes away, daring not look at her.
After getting everyoneâs attention off her, Ellis looked at Mary and sneered. âYou canât possibly be herewillingly, can you?â
Maryâs lowered eyelashes trembled.
Just as she was about to speak, a harsh voice came from the doorway, âEllis, what kind of nonsenseyou asking!â
Keira strode in.
When she realized that something might have happened to Mary, Ellis rushed over immediately, shehad to make sure Amy was settled before com
She heard Ellisâs words as soon as she entered the door and felt a surge of anger!

After entering the room and seeing Maryâs state, she took off her coat and put it on her, then wrappedan 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!
âAh!â
Mr. Lynchâs agonized scream echoed throughout the hotel room as he curled on the floor, clutching hisprivates, writhing in pain.
Keira wanted to kick him again, but one kick could be said to be Keera losing her temper, anotherwould not fit Keeraâs 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, âDamn! Mary wasnât willing to do thisand you were lying to me?! Arenât you going to tel truth?!â
Mr. Lynch, feeling as if his injured part was about to explode the next moment, swallowed hard andimmediately started talking. âIâll talk, Iâll talk. It was h uncle who said he controlled her parents andforced her to come here⦠He also said she was to serve me
well tonightâ¦â

âCrack.â
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, âI knew it. How couldpossibly be attracted to such a sleazy man!â
Mary remained silent.
She felt her anger rise in waves.

Staring at Ellis, she said coldly, âMy affairs are none of your concern, Mr. Ellis.â
âNone of my concern?â Ellis scoffed. âWith just th of you, can you get through this divorce unscathed
He stepped forward, coming close to Mary, and look down at her. âJust with you and her, you could onlycome 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?â
005 Slap in the Face
He glanced at Mary. âDo you think that with your position in Davis Corporation, you could easily talkKeera out of paying? Or are you planning to pay the two million for her?â
Maryâs pupils shrank.
Ellis immediately caught on. âOh, so you were planning to pay the two million for her! But do you thinkwith Keeraâs character, she would take it?â
Mary was shocked.
Without mentioning it, she could have secretly given the money, and this issue would have beensettled, but now that he had spoken aloud, how could Keera 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 yoasking for help, you should show some courtesy⦠d you think, Mary?â
Mary was dumbfounded.
Her chest heaved even more. How could she have eve thought Ellis was a gentleman?
He was clearly a scoundrel!
Ellis noticed her anger and continued smiling. âSo, do I still need to concern myself with your affairs?â
