Maryâs tears cascaded down her face. âDonât, Ellis, I beg youâ¦â
âItâs no use. This time, I wonât be soft-hearted again!â
Ellisâs stance was very firm,
He held Maryâs arm tightly with one hand while the other gently straightened her hair. âOnce this child isgone, these rumors will subside in time. Later, itâll be just the two of us, side by sideâ¦â
âEllis! Donât!!â Mary struggled to break free from his grip, almost shrieking, âIâm begging you! Donât dothis!â
But Ellis didnât give her another chance to speak and dragged her toward the guest bedroom.
In the living room, James, Charles, and even Victoria were all stunned.
The three of them watched the direction the two had left, all showing expressions of disbelief.
Victoria couldnât help but glance at James and coughed before saying, âJames, are you saying that thechild isnât really Ellisâs?â

Jamesâs face showed a troubled expression as if he had something to say but didnât dare to speak it.
His straightforward nature was such that he could never keep a secret.
Victoria might not have known what had happened, but she was sure that her guess was absolutelycorrect!
Charles, who was beside them, couldnât help but say, âDoes Ellis also suspect this? Was he tricked byMary?â
James snorted. âFooling around before the wedding, I really donât understand why Ellis would marry awoman like that, and Uncle Olsen tooâ¦â
âWhat about me?â
The voice of Uncle Olsen came through, causing Jamesâs voice to trail off slightly, and he froze. Thenhe slowly turned around and smiled ingratiatingly. âUncle, you are wise and peerless, truly beyondcompare!â
Uncle Olsen frowned. âStop with the nonsense.â
After that, he looked up the stairs, unable to resist asking, âWhere are your big brother and
sister-in-law?â

James was taken aback and looked toward the side
room.
Uncle Olsen furrowed his brows. âWhat is it?â
James coughed. âEllis and Mary went to the guest
room.â
âDoing what in the guest room?â
As Uncle Olsen said this, he took a couple of steps toward the guest room.
However, Victoria immediately said, âUncle, Ellis and Mary are newlyweds. They surely have someprivate
words to share. Letâs not disturb them!â
Uncle Olsen didnât think much of it and nodded, then
took a seat on the sofa.
In just a short while, Ellisâs parents also came in.
Uncle Olsen greeted them. âHello, guys.â
Mr. Olsen was very polite to his younger brother, giving a nod with a smile, then quickly looking around,his brows furrowed in concern. âWhere is Ellis? How come he hasnât arrived yet? The child reallydoesnât understand. How could he keep his Uncle waiting?ânovelbin
Mrs. Olsen explained to Uncle Olsen with a smile. âHe must have been delayed by something.â
Uncle Olsen didnât mind them and simply asked both
to sit down.
Victoriaâs gaze, however, returned to the direction of the guest room.
Mary had married into the Olsen family relying on that child. If the child was gone, her in-laws wouldsurely not tolerate her!
Before they were married, she dared to give trouble to her, as the younger sister-in-law. Now it wastime for Mary to taste the bitterness of being utterly alone!
Caught up in her thoughts, a maid came over with a bowl of medicine.
The medicine emitted a strong bitter odor that immediately spread to the living room, alerting Mr. Olsen,Mrs. Olsen, and everybody else who saw the nanny carrying the medicine to the guestroom.
Mrs. Olsen instantly stood up, tense with concern. âWhatâs this medicine? Whatâs happened? Mary isnâtfeeling unwell, is she? Sheâs pregnant right now; she
canât just take any modicin
Having said that, she stood up, ready to walk over
there.
But Victoria grabbed her arm. âAuntie, actually, I didnât want to tell you all about this, but now I think Ishould.â
She took out her phone and handed the document to Mrs. Olsen.
Mrs. Olsen glanced at it only briefly before flinging the phone away. âWhat is this messy, filthynonsense? Just looking at this thing could curse you with a sty!
Victoria, youâre so young. Where did you get this from?â
Victoria paused for a moment, her face tinged with awkwardness.
She then steered the conversation back on track. âNo, this has been circulating in our circle. Thehostess mentioned in it refers to your eldest daughter-in-law!â
It was only then that Mrs. Olsen reacted. âWhat?â
Victoria cast a glance at James before speaking up, âEveryone is saying that Austin wrote this. Headmitted it himself. More than two months ago, he had a one-night stand with your daughter-in-law. As
soon as Ellis heard it, he immediately dragged her to the guestroom and then had the nanny bringabortion pillsâ¦â
Victoria expressed concern, Auntie, even if your daughter-in-law did get together with Austin, it was amistake before marriage. Isnât Ellis being a bit too
harsh?â
At these words, James couldnât hold back, immediately retorting, âHow is Ellis being too harsh? Shemarried in carrying another manâs child, making a cuckold of him. Just having her terminate thepregnancy is already being kind to her!â
These words left Victoria slightly dumbfounded.
âJames, what do you mean by that? Are you saying the child really isnât the Ellisâs?â
As Mrs. Olsen was about to rush over, she stopped in her tracks upon hearing this, looking bewilderedat
James.
James was choked up, and after a long pause, he finally spoke, âYes, itâs not. Thatâs why Ellisâs actionsare right. It should be this way! To prevent our Olsen Familyâs reputation from being tarnished!â
394 Chapter 383
Victoria immediately asked, âHow do you know itâs
not?â
This time, James protected Ellisâs privacy. âI just know. Donât worry about how I found out!â
Mr. Olsen and Mrs. Olsen exchanged glances, worry evident in their eyes.
If the child wasnât Ellisâs, should they still try to stop it?!
In the guestroom.
Ellis trapped Mary on the couch, staring at her intensely.
His eyes were bloodshot as he gazed at Mary.
Mary was still pleading desperately. âEllis, no, this child is truly yours!â
This only incited Ellisâs sense of irony.
He had believed Maryâs lies and had gone to the hospital for tests over and over, only to be told eachtime that he had azoospermiaâ¦
It couldnât be that three different hospitals were
deceiving him!
So, the only person deceiving him had to be Mary.
He watched as Mary pleaded desperately before him, and suddenly, he grabbed her throat. âMary, shutup! I donât want to hear you say that again! I wonât believe
you!â
Maryâs voice indeed stopped
Her eyes were red with swelling tears as she looked at Ellis.
Ellis then slowly approached her. âMary, terminate this pregnancy, keep to yourself from now on, and Iâllhave a good life with you. Iâll treat you wellâ¦â
Mary closed her eyes in agony, tears rolling do cheeks as she resignedly hung her head.
Just then, the door to the adjacent bedroom was
suddenly kicked open!
