The mont these words were spoken, the executive, who was about to leave, suddenly froze.”
The rest of the Davis Corporation employees nearby also turned their gaze toward Mary.
Christina feigned surprise. “Director Davis, what did you say?”
Overwheld by emotion, Mary suppressed her nausea and repeated, “I said I’m pregnant, so I’m
feeling unwell and can’t drink, sorry.”
The executive was stunned as well. “I see, it’s okay, it’s okay… You definitely can’t drink if you’re
pregnant. I didn’t know… so you… take good care of yourself…”
Mary breathed a sigh of relief, and just as she was about to leave, Christina said, “Director Davis, I
rember you aren’t married, are you? How could you be pregnant?”
Her words cast a deadly silence over the crowd.
Everyone’s eyes were on Mary, then they glanced at
her stomach…

Victoria chid in. “Christina, how can you ask such a question? Since Director Davis has announced
her pregnancy, it must be good news, right? May I ask who the father is?”
The others imdiately turned their attention to
Mary.
Mary clenched her jaw and took a deep breath. “Sorry, that’s my privacy.”
Victoria went straight to the point. “Privacy? In
families like ours, marriages are to be made public. Is
Director Davis’s fiancé a secret?”
Christina imdiately scoffed. “Don’t tell you don’t know who it is. I’ve heard that Director Davis’s
personal life is quite controversial…”
As soon as she said this, the employees from both Davis Corporation and Olsen Group started
whispering and pointing at Mary.
“She’s pregnant before she’s married?”
“Although the Davis family has separated, won’t this really affect the reputation of the Davis family’s
won?”
“Mary has always been quite liberal with her social life, drinking with countless people for the sake of
projects, but I heard she still has so boundaries!”
“Boundaries? She’s pregnant now, where are the boundaries?”
“Considering her status, wouldn’t the man take responsibility if she’s really pregnant? How co there
isn’t even a fiancé?”
“Maybe Christina is right. Mary has ssed around with so many n that she doesn’t know who the
father is. I’ve heard that in the circles of the wealthy, so live very wild lives, there are even those
events…”
“What? Where did you hear such gossip? Tell , what happened?”
“Don’t you know? I just heard about it, I’ve never see it… I heard that so people have very chaotic
private lives, they like to gather a group of won and n, then everyone gets undressed, forms a
circle, and the n stand still while the won rotate and pause for a
minute…”
“My God, I’ve really learned sothing new. If one were to get pregnant like that, you really wouldn’t
know who the father of the child is… You can only wait for the child to be born, then test all the n
present
that day…
“No way, would anyone dare to keep such a child?”
“I heard the Davis family has good morals, nothing like this has ever happened before, could there be
so misunderstanding?”
Π
Hearing all this, Mary was stunned; she had never expected gossip to shape into such a scenario.
But she didn’t know how to explain, so she clenched her fists and turned to leave.
Just then, Chad also heard the surrounding chatter and hurried over. When he heard that people were
questioning the Davis family’s upbringing, his face darkened drastically.
There were still several unmarried won in his
family.
If this scandal broke, would the other Davis family’s won still be able to get married?!
His expression turned ugly as he stared at Mary, who
had clenched fists. He quickly stepped forward to
block her path. “Where are you going? Tell everyone who the father is!”
Upon seeing this, Mary subconsciously looked toward
Ellis.
Ellis leaned against the wine table, a glass of
champagne in hand, gently swirling it. Although he had heard the commotion, he only watched it in
silence as if the champagne was so kind of rare treasure that could be played with all night long.
He showed no intention of coming forward to help her.
Mary couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile.
That was it.
In his eyes, her child belonged to another man. She had ssed around with others; how could he
possib co forward to speak up for her?
She lowered her gaze. “Chad…”
“Don’t talk to !” Furious, Chad stared at her and asked, “Just tell , what’s the deal with this
baby?!”
Mary clenched her jaw, looking at him. “It’s what it is.”
She looked at the people around her, with sharp eyes and a cold smile. “The country has laws that
allow unmarried won to get pregnant and have children, don’t we? Are you all not allowing it? Or are
you still living in the dieval tis? This is the 21st century! Don’t tell everyone’s still holding onto
those archaic ideas!”
“You!”
Seeing her so unabashed, Chad felt anger well up from
within him.
Christina covered her mouth. “Miss Davis, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that the Davis family was so lenient.
In the Olsen family, we must be ho at night, and any movents after ten o’clock must be reported
to
parents…”
These words caused Mary’s complexion to change
slightly.
Just as she was about to speak, the scene in front of her darkened, followed by a “smack”! Chad’s
palm struck hard against her face!
As the elder cousin, Chad had the right to discipline his siblings, and what Mary had said here severely
impacted the Davis family’s reputation.
Mary looked at him incredulously, “Chad?”
Although Chad was strict toward them, she was, after all, a woman from another branch of the family.
Chad had never laid hands on her before.
Chad stared at her. “This slap is for your lack of self-respect! Mary, tell now, who is that bastard
man?”
At a distance, Ellis saw what was happening, and his brows furrowed imdiately. His fingers
tightened around the glass.
