Chapter 299: Chapter 299

Ken asked, “Ellis, what brings you here today?”

Ellis replied with a smile, not saying much, but asked, “I’m just here for a casual visit, Uncle Davis. MayI go to your New Energy Research and Development

Department?”

Upon hearing this, Ken immediately thought of something, “Are you here to find Mary?”

Ken certainly had an impression of this niece from another branch of their family.

She wasn’t only strikingly beautiful, but her abilities were also outstanding. She was the only oneamong the younger generation of the second branch to be employed by Davis Corporation.

He remembered that Davis Corporation had wanted arrange a marriage with the Olsen family andintroduced Ellis to several young women from their family, including Mary from the second branch.

However, someone from the second branch later came and said it hadn’t worked out.

Ken didn’t take it to heart. His own daughter and Ellis hadn’t taken a liking to each other. When it cameto marriage, it was all about fate; there was no need to

rush.

Ellis coughed lightly. “Right, I have something to discuss with her.”

“Okay, I’ll take you there.”

“Thank you, Uncle Davis!”

The two talked as they made their way to the elevator.

The elevator opened.

Ellis and Ken entered the CEO’s private elevator and went directly to the R&D Department, but theydidn’t see Keira or Mary.

Ellis looked around, while Ken asked an employee, “Where’s Mary? Ellis is here to see her!”

“She was just fired by Mr. Wayne Davis! They said she embezzled for personal gain, investing thecompany’s project funds into her best friend’s company and now can’t produce any results…”

Ken was stunned. “Fired? Where’s Brian? Get him over here. I want to know what’s going on.”

The employee’s face instantly showed a conflicted

expression, “Uh, Brian was also fired. Mr. Wayne said it was because he was in cahoots with Mary.”

Ken was perplexed.

He awkwardly turned to Ellis, still somewhat bemused,

“It’s…”

Ellis frowned, not expecting to have arrived too late!

See, without him, things just weren’t right; now she had gotten fired!

Ken pulled out his phone and called Mary. “Mary, where are you? If there’s an issue, come up and

explain…the underground parking garage? Then you should come…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Ellis had alread turned and started walking downstairs.

Ken had intended to ask Mary to come upstairs, but stopped and changed his approach. “Don’t go.We’ll come to you!”

“We?”

Mary looked at her disconnected phone, slightly startled, then nervously turned to Keira. “Keera. mv

uncle said he’s coming to find me!”

Keira nodded, “Okay.”

After saying that, she realized that Mary looked a little flustered. She immediately understood. “Are youreally scared of him?”

“Of course! Who wouldn’t be afraid of him?”

Mary swallowed nervously. “That’s the family head of the Davis family. When my grandfather was incharge, we used to live together, and Uncle Ken was very imposing. We younger ones were all scaredof him. After my grandfather passed away, and we split up, Uncle Ken became even more imposing.We usually didn’t dare to say much around him…”

As the two were talking, they heard a voice. “Mary!

Miss South!”

They turned around to see Brian running toward th

Mary apologized to Director Brian with great remors “Director Brian, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault fordragging you into this…”

Director Brian usually took good care of her, yet upon

hearing this, he showed an excited expression. “Sorry for what? I should be thanking you!”

Mary was confused.

The position of Chief of Research and Development Department of Davis Corporation was a high one,a position Director Brian had worked for twenty years to attain. Now that he was dismissed, was heconfused?!

Director Brian then turned to Keira. “Miss South, um… may I ask, now that I’ve been dismissed, can Ijoin your company?!”

Keira didn’t even think about it. “Of course you can!”

Director Brian spoke up for them just now, and besides, the company was indeed short on amanagement person; he would be a perfect fit.

Director Brian immediately became excited, “Reall

“Yup.”

Mary said, “Director Brian, are you sure? Keera’s company is quite small… they won’t be able to offer ahigh salary… and at the moment, they still owe a substantial debt to Davis Corporation…”

Chapter 298

Keira had mentioned a new plan to Mary last night, but since Mary’s expertise was in investment ratherthan in research, she didn’t quite grasp the importance of Keira’s project.

Director Brian immediately said, “The salary isn’t important. What’s important is that we have MissSouth’s project in hand, which guarantees our company a top position in the future new energyindustry! As for that bit of debt… Miss South, don’t worry, I’ve just called the Research andDevelopment Department of the Olsen family, and their Investment Manager is personally rushing overhere right now. They’ll be able to cover those twenty million for you in minutes!”

Mary was dumbfounded.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that Director Briar might be exaggerating a little.

As the three were chatting, Wayne came downstai well, and upon spotting them, he immediately cameover with a mocking smile. “What’s the matter? Can bear to leave? Brian, I can overlook your earlieroversight, as long as you admit your mistake. I’ll let y come back to work!”

Director Brian paused, then twisted his mouth awkwardly, “Mr. Davis, that… won’t be necessary. I’vefound a new position.”

Wayne frowned, “That was quick? I suppose you’ve wanted to leave for a while now, haven’t you?!”

After saying this, he turned to Mary. “Do you realize your mistake? If you admit your fault by kneelingdown and ápologizing to me, I might be in a good mood and speak to the company to give your friend’scompany a bit more time!”

Mary took a deep breath. “Uncle, don’t bother!”

She dared not say anything too harsh, for her parents and grandmother still depended on him to makea

living.

Her parents and grandmother had been living in lu in the Davis residence and refused to move out. Thehad to obey Wayne Davis.

That was why Mary had been so driven to succeed, al for the sake of establishing a foothold in Davis

Corporation!

Ever since she started working at Davis Corporation,

lot better…

But now… she had offended Wayne, and life was probably going to be difficult from here on.

Upon seeing her intransigence, Wayne was about to explode with anger. “Mary, don’t push your luck!Do you believe that I can disown your grandmother and your father from the family right now, and haveyour whole family evicted?!”

Mary’s pupils contracted sharply.

Her grandmother had always wanted to be buried together with her grandfather; it was the only hope inher life!

Now in her old age, she was just waiting for that d If she were to be disowned… her grandmotherprobably wouldn’t be able to withstand the shock parents wouldn’t be able to accept it either!

Clenching her fists in anger and with tears rimming her eyes, she glared at Wayne, “You…”

Just then, “Ding!”

The elevator bell rang.

Ellis and Ken strode out of the elevator…
