My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 288

288 Something’s Not Right

Mary looked at that slender hand and was slightly taken aback.”

Then she saw the door being pushed open.

Uncle Davis couldn’t help but turn his head to look, only to see a man standing outside.

Upon seeing him, everyone in the room paused for a moment.

Everyone knew this person. He was the assistant to Mr. Ellis. He stood there, his gaze sweeping over everyone present before finally settling on Mary. “Mr. Ellis is dining next door, and he asked me to come and say hello. Miss Davis, are you alright?”

Uncle Davis immediately paused.

He then turned his gaze toward Mary.

He had originally thought that Mary hadn’t caught Mr. Ellis’s eye, which was why he brought her here to accompany the fat Lynch, but now Mr. Ellis suddenly came in to greet her…

Was Mr. Ellis interested in Mary?

Mary hadn’t expected Mr. Ellis’s assistant to expressly ask after her, but she instantly understood; this was her chance to flaunt borrowed power.

She decisively grabbed the opportunity, smiling. “I’m fine. There’s no need for Mr. Ellis to worry. I was just discussing a partnership with Uncle Lynch and my uncle. Right, Uncle Lynch?”

Mr. Lynch was also bewildered at this point.

Ever since the Davis family’s main branch took control of the company, they had been excluding the second branch.

That was why he dared to show disrespect to the second branch, as a sort of statement to the main branch.

He couldn’t afford to offend any of the five major families!

Now that Mr. Ellis had spoken up, how would he dare say anything? He immediately replied with a grin. “Yes, yes, I’m here discussing a partnership with my niece! Dear niece, did you bring the contract?”

Mary looked toward her uncle.

Her uncle immediately said, “Yes, I did.”

He directly took the contract out of his pocket.

Without saying another word, Mr. Lynch signed the contract and then cheerily looked at Mary. “Dear niece, your uncle and I are like brothers. His niece is practically my own! I just remembered I have something else to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first!”

With that statement, Mr. Lynch promptly ran off.

Mary’s uncle wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and tentatively looked at Mary, asking, “Dear niece, you and Mr. Ellis…”

Mary lowered her gaze. “Uncle, we are just friends. You’re mistaken. Since the contract is signed, I’ll be going now.”

Upon reaching the doorway, she suddenly turned

Her uncle paused for a moment, then suddenly understood something. “My dear niece, rest assured, that contract issue with your friend’s company, I’ll retract the lawsuit…”

Mary had flaunted borrowed authority today, leveraging Ellis’s influence for this very reason, fearing it would hinder Keera’s big plans, so hearing this, she immediately said, “There’s no need to retract the lawsuit.”

Her uncle was baffled. “No need to retract the lawsuit? Aren’t you and your close friend the best of friends? You…”

Mary could only make up an excuse on the spot. “Yes, she’s my best friend, but she chose to block me over a man. Do you think I am trying to get close to her now for what reason? Of course, it’s for revenge. I want to witness her regretting and crying after her husband abandons her. Uncle, you must not intervene in this matter.”

Her uncle didn’t quite understand the friendships between young women, but seeing Mary so vehem he could only nod. “Oh, okay, don’t worry. I won’t ge involved in this matter.”

Only then did Mary pull the door open and step out.

When the door to the private room closed again, she took a deep breath, still feeling somewhat dizzy and light-headed, but she forced herself to maintain her composure, at least she couldn’t collapse here.
