Chapter 283: Chapter 282 Chapter 283: Chapter 282 Mary Davis quickly returned to the Davis Family ho.
As she entered the house and saw the people inside the room, her expression imdiately beca solemn.
Not only were her parents there in their own villa, but also her uncles, aunts, and other relatives.
It seed as though the older generation of the Davis Family had all gathered!
At that mont, everyone was staring at her; her aunt couldn’t wait to ask, “Well? Did Young Master Olsen take a liking to you?”
Mary clenched her fingers tightly and lowered her head.
She swallowed, then said, “No…”
“No?!” Her aunt’s voice instantly turned sharp, “How could it not be? Mary, were you not gentle enough? Didn’t I tell you? When you see Young Master Olsen, you should talk about horses, he loves horse racing the most!”
Her uncle spoke calmly, “Don’t rush, Mary, tell us the details of the matchmaking, and we’ll analyze what went wrong.”
Mary’s face instantly showed a flush of embarrassnt.
Her private affairs were to be laid out and analyzed openly?
Her father then intervened, “Brother, Sister-in-Law, this is ultimately Mary’s private matter. Since Young Master Olsen wasn’t interested, it must an that Mary doesn’t have that fate. I think it’s unnecessary to dwell on it anymore…”
Her second uncle imdiately scoffed, “Younger brother, elder brother is the Family Head of our family, when he speaks, do you have any right to interfere?”
Mr. Davis was montarily speechless.
His sister disdainfully spoke up, “Younger brother, although we were once part of the Davis direct lineage, now that the grandfather has passed, we can only be considered a side branch. If we don’t strive hard in this generation, we’ll be no different from distant relatives in the future!”
Mary’s grandfather was the second son of the Davis direct lineage. After the eldest son took over as the Family Head, Mary’s grandfather had moved out to live separately.
When Mary’s grandfather was still alive, the first branch would still show them so respect. But after her grandfather’s death, the cousin who took charge began tightening control over the family’s power, and they were gradually marginalized.
Their current status was still decent, but in a few more years, they were likely to beco a second-rate family.
Her second uncle continued, “Younger brother, although we are not born of the sa mother, over the years, everyone has had high hopes for Mary. We were hoping she could marry into the legitimate grandson of one of the other four prominent families, elevating our status! This opportunity was fought for by our elder brother in negotiation with the first branch, and it was given solely to Mary. You say this is her personal matter? Are you doing justice to our elder brother?”
Mary tightened her fists upon witnessing this scene.
Her father indeed did not share the sa mother with these people.
Their mother also ca from one of the top five prominent families, but unfortunately, after giving birth to his sister, she fell ill and died of weakness.
Afterward, her grandfather remarried her grandmother, who ca from a lesser family…
By right, her grandmother should have been treated with courtesy, having accompanied the grandfather for so many years, but regrettably…
After the grandfather passed away, her uncles and aunt tead up to drive her grandmother out of the ancestral ho, asserting that since she was not the legitimate wife, she could not be buried with their grandfather.
So although Mary could be considered part of the Davis Family, her family’s identity and status within the Davis household were very awkward indeed.
Her father was filial, and her grandmother was a traditional woman who didn’t want to separate the family, always longing to be buried with her husband…
Mary Davis thought about it, and she felt a stifling sensation in her chest.
Her mother noticed the state of her daughter and looked at her helplessly, “Mary, what exactly happened on the blind date? You tell us…”
Mary clasped her fingers tightly before she finally spoke, “Young Master Olsen was dissatisfied with . I had just sat down and hadn’t even spoken before he left.”
Upon hearing this, her uncle was extrely disappointed, “Your appearance, and he didn’t even take a second look?”
Mary, “No.”
Her aunt curled her lip, “A granddaughter from such a humble background is just useless! Big brother, you insisted on giving her the spot. Look, what a waste! I should have let my daughter try instead! At gatherings with young people, my daughter can even exchange a few words with Young Master Olsen…”
Her other aunt chid in disdainfully, “Sister, your daughter isn’t part of the Davis Family, but our family has many unmarried daughters after all. Big brother indeed made the wrong choice! Who is Young Master Olsen? How could he possibly be interested in a clueless vase?”
Mary heard this but said nothing, Mr. Davis couldn’t hold back, “Sister-in-law, how can you speak so harshly? Mary studied new energy in college, and now she’s been recognized by the first branch and is in charge of the New Energy R&D projects at Davis Corporation… Of her generation, she’s the first to hold a position at Davis Corporation! Mary is a capable and good child!”
Upon hearing this, her uncle sneered, “Younger brother, since you’ve brought this up, there is sothing I must say. I heard she exploited her position to sign a cooperation agreent for her best friend’s husband? That’s outrageous!”
Her aunt’s voice beca shrill, “What? Mary! When my maternal nephew wanted a job in the New Energy R&D Departnt at Davis Corporation, you said we couldn’t use backdoors. Now for an outsider, a dumb best friend, you openly do this? You’re really blind!”
Mary imdiately responded, “Insult if you must, but leave my friend out of it.”
“What friend? She’s just an inappropriate outsider! I heard her husband cheated, and she tolerated it, a weak and incompetent romantic. I forbid you to associate with such people in the future!”
Her uncle stood up abruptly and faced her, “Mary, I gave you a chance. If Young Master Olsen had taken an interest in you, I would have turned a blind eye to your actions, but you failed to seize it, and I will not bend the rules any further!
That cooperation, your poor judgnt led to this ss. If their company fails to deliver the R&D plan tomorrow, I will certainly have the legal departnt sue for damages under the contract, and you will be responsible for this investnt failure! Don’t bla for not considering family loyalty at that point.”
Mary clenched her fists tightly.
She was the first in her generation to have passed the Davis Corporation’s interview and worked for the company.
Thus, she had beco the thorn in the side of these family branches.
The investnt might have failed, but if compensation could be obtained according to the contract, she, as an investor, would have made ands.
It was clear her uncle was seizing the opportunity to have her fired from Davis Corporation.
Mary looked at them, contemplating the vastness of Davis Corporation, feeling sowhat powerless.
But no matter, at least she could help Keera escape Howard’s clutches through divorce.
At that mont, Keira Olsen, after preparing dinner for Howard’s mother and Amy, entered the bedroom and took out Keera’s laptop.
There was a research and developnt plan on the computer.
Once Howard shifted all the bla to her and divorced her, she planned to use this latest R&D plan for in-depth cooperation with Davis Corporation.
She wouldn’t make life difficult for Mary.
Only, she suddenly realized she might not have ntioned this to Mary yet?
Ti quickly moved to the third day.
The lawsuit from Davis Corporation was delivered to Howard early in the morning.
