As these words were spoken, everyone present was momentarily taken aback.
Mrs. Olsen looked at Mary, puzzled, âDo you dare to go with us for amniocentesis?â
Maryâs chin tilted slightly upward. âI have never done anything to wrong the Olsen family, what is thereto fear?!â
Mrs. Olsen then became suspicious. âCould it be that this child is reallyâ¦
âEnough!â
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 tolift her
head and look at him.
Upon seeing this, Keira immediately stepped forward. âEllis, let go!â
However, Mary waved her off. âKeera, you donât need to worry about me.â
Mary took hold of Ellisâs hand herself and forcefully pushed him away.
Ellisâs eyes reddened as he stared fixedly at her. âEven
now, you insist this child is mine⦠Mary, do you have any idea how youâve made me the laughing stockof all of Clance?!â
Mary bit her lip and remained silent.
Ken stepped forward. âMr. Ellis, letâs not take out our
emotions. Itâs better to settle the matter first. There
are two options now, one is to announce to the public that Mary is not pregnant, that the pregnancywas a misunderstanding, and then quietly take care of the
child. The second is⦠divorce.â
Before Ellis could speak, Mary immediately said, âI choose the second option.â
Ellis was taken aback, then his expression turned even
darker.
He stared at Mary, unable to understand why she had such deep feelings for someone elseâs child tothe point of being so resolute!!
Ken then looked at Ellis. âMr. Ellis, what do you think?
If itâs a divorce the Dovia family will admit our mistake
publicly, and hold a press conference saying itâs our fault for not supervising our daughter well, and thatthis has nothing to do with the Olsen family.â
you
These words made Wayne shout, âKen, how can this? Our familyâs reputation will also be destroyed.How will you explain it to our shareholders when the time comes?â
âShut your mouth!â
do
After scolding him, Ken once again turned to Mary, his voice heavy. âYouâre 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!â
He looked at Ellis again. âMr. Ellis, which option do you choose?â
Ellisâs gaze dropped, and the fingers in his pocket tightened slightly before he slowly said, âIf wedivorce, wouldnât it be telling the world that I was indeed cuckolded?!â
Leaving that hanging, he continued. âTherefore, the first option is the best choice for both families!â

This made Ken immediately overcome with gratitude. âMr. Ellis, youâre so generous! The first option isindeed the best way for our families to deal with the media! Itâs just you who has to bear the brunt.â
Ellis looked at Ken without saying a word.
Mr. and Mrs. Olsen, however, said, âEllis, you donât have to compromise for the sake of the family! Lifeis long, and if you hold a grudge against Mary, it might be better to separate.â
Ellis didnât say anything.
He glanced at his parents, then back at Mary, and then said fiercely, âLetâs go with the first option. Inever planned to marry in this life anyway. She schemed against me, so she must pay the price! I wanther to spend her life trapped in the Olsen family as her
penance!â
Upon hearing this, Mr. Olsen disagreed. âEllis, marriage is not childâs play, nor a tool for holdinggrudges. You might as well let her go and free yourself as well!â
Mrs. Olsen also nodded. âGiven how things are, I think itâs better to let each other go.â

Ellis immediately shouted, âWhy should I? She has humiliated me so much, letâs settle it this way!â
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 wasabout to explode in anger!
He realized that he had fallen for Maryâ¦
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 amoment before she looked up again at Ellis. âI want to
have the amniocentesis.â
Ellis asked, âWhy humiliate yourself like this?â
âWonât we know whether itâs self-humiliation after itâs
done?!â
Maryâs 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. âMr. Olsen, Miss Davis, why are both your families gatheredhere?â
âIs it because of the azoospermia issue mentioned
online?â
âIf Mr. Olsen has azoospermia, how did this child come about?â
âCould you give us an explanation for the media?â
×××
âMr. Ellis, did you marry Miss Davis willingly, or was it a familial arrangement?â
âMiss Davis, your child must have been conceived before marriage, right? After all, I remember youâveonly been married for two monthsâ¦ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWith the Olsen familyâs stock price plummeting so fiercely, Mr. Ellis, is there anything youâd like tosay?â
âMr. Ellis, is your azoospermia due to years of horseback riding? If you have no descendants in thefuture, will you still be the heir to the Olsen family?â
âMr. Ellis, can I ask a personal question? Are azoospermia patients incapable in that regard?â
âMr. Ellisâ¦â
