Mary quickly returned to the Davis home.
As soon as she entered the door and saw the people in the room, her expression immediately grew grave.
In their own villa, not only were her parents there, but
so were her other uncles and aunts.
It seemed that all of the older generation of the Davis family had come!
At that moment, everyone was staring at her; her eldest aunt could hardly wait to ask, “Well? Did Mr. Ellis take a liking to you?”
Mary’s fingers tightened instantly, and she looked down.
She swallowed before saying, “No…”
“No?!”
Her eldest aunt’s voice instantly became shrill. “How could it not be? Mary, are you not gentle enough? Haven’t I told you? When you see Mr. Ellis, talk about horses more; he loves horse racing the most!”
Her eldest uncle spoke dispassionately, “Don’t rush, Mary. Tell us the details of the blind date so we can analyze it and figure out where the problem lies.”
A trace of shame and anger flashed across Mary’s face.
Her private affairs were to be laid out and scrutinized in detail?
Her father then intervened. “Brother, Sister-in-law, this, after all, is Mary’s private affair. Since Mr. Ellis didn’t take a liking, then it must mean Mary doesn’t have such a fate. I think there’s no need to dwell on it any further…”
Mary’s second uncle immediately scoffed. ” Brother, our eldest brother is the family head, and it’s his turn to speak. Is it your place to interrupt?”
Mary’s father was suddenly at a loss for words.
The aunt spoke disdainfully as well. “Brother, the Davis family was indeed once the primary line of the Davis family’s legacy, but now that the old man has passed away, we can only be considered a collateral line. If we don’t strive in this generation, soon we’ll be
indistinguishable from the most distant relatives!”
Mary’s grandfather was the gooand can of the legitimate line of the Davis family. After the eldest took over as family head, Mary’s grandfather broke away tolive on his own.
While Mary’s grandfather was still alive, the first
branch of the family showed them some respect, but after the grandfather passed away, the uncle from the main branch who became the head began to tighten his control of the family’s authority, and they were gradually marginalized.
Although they still lived with dignity, in just a few more years, they would be downgraded to a second-tier influential family.
The second uncle continued ” Brother, although we don’t share the same mother, for many years, everyone has held great expectations for Mary, hoping she could marry into the first branch of one of the other fo major families and elevate our status! This opport was fought for by our eldest brother from the main branch only for Mary. Can you say this is her private matter? Can you justify this to our eldest brother?”
Seeing this scene, Mary clenched her fists.
Her father indeed didn’t have the same mother as these people.
Their mother was also from one of the five major families, but, unfortunately, after giving birth to their aunt, she weakened in health, fell ill, and died.
Afterward, her grandfather remarried her grandmother, who came from a minor family…
By all means, her grandmother should have been treated with respect as their mother after many years of companionship with her grandfather, but instead…
After her grandfather passed away, her eldest uncle, second uncle, and aunt joined forces to drive her grandmother out of the ancestral home. They said that since she wasn’t the original wife, even in death, she couldn’t be buried alongside Grandpa.
Although Mary could be considered a member of the Davis family, in reality, their family’s status within the Davis family was exceedingly awkward.
Her father was dutifully filial, and her grandmother
