My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 291

291 Mary’s Choice

Ellis was slightly startled when he heard this. “You mean, Keera wants to divorce on her own?”

Since the topic had come to this point, Mary really feared that Ellis would take action and help Keera’s Company solve the contract issues…

Mary sighed. “Yes, it’s a plan that Keera and I acted out.”

She briefly explained the prenuptial agreement that Keera had signed and then went straight to the point. “We want to make Howard retreat in the face of

difficulties, leave without a penny, and give both the company and the custody of the daughter to Keera

After saying all this, Mary continued. “So, please don step in and help.”

But Ellis sneered. “Miss Davis, do you think I would believe such a clumsy lie?”

Ellis had investigated Keera before. She had been love-struck since college and almost fell out with her adoptive parents for Howard. Later, she even fell out with her best friend Mary over Howard…

Besides, in recent times, he had been keeping an eye on Keera and knew that she had been tolerant at home for the sake of competing with that mistress, serving Howard’s mother well, to the point where Howard’s mother didn’t want to part with her…

How could Ellis possibly believe that such a person, whose heart was full of thoughts of Howard, wanted to

divorce?

Moreover, Mary’s influence wasn’t sufficient to make Davis Corporation drop the lawsuit, and since the lawsuit had been filed, even if Keera really made Howard leave without a penny, the value of that company and villa sold together wouldn’t be enough cover twenty million.

So, if it was really a trap set by Keera herself, what was Keera plotting?

It simply didn’t make any logical sense!

Mary wanted to explain, but she also understood that her words were hard to believe.

After all, even she, who knew her friend best, had doubted until now whether Keera had truly let go of Howard.

The last time she was blocked by Keera, she said something. The last message Keera sent Mary was, “Even if Howard really cheats, the fact that he’s been hiding it from me shows that he cares about me. Mary, I don’t need your warnings; he just made a mistake that any man could make. If you don’t tell me, maybe he’ll return to the family after a while on his own! I don’t need your warnings!”

Such infatuation was beyond salvation.

Mary simply didn’t bother explaining further and only said, “Mr. Ellis, you just promised me that as long as my request isn’t excessive, you would agree to it!”

Ellis’s eyes instantly became icy cold.

Was Mary determined to punish Keera?

He took a deep breath and suddenly lowered his gaze, hiding the icy chill within. “Are you sure you want to make this request?”

“Indeed.”

“Fine, I agree,” said Ellis indifferently, lifting his head, his eyes filled with a cold intent. “But the favor you just borrowed from me, you have to return it now.”

Mary was startled.

She pursed her lips, knowing what Ellis was referring

Her uncle agreed to let her off today because he misunderstood that Ellis was interested in her. If Ellis went to clarify it himself…

Her future days might become even harder.

But thinking of Keera’s desire for a divorce, for the company and the villa, as well as freedom, she eventually clenched her fist.

“Okay.”

Ellis hung up.

At this moment, Mary still hadn’t realized the consequences of enraging Ellis.

She just breathed a sigh of relief, then started the car and headed home.

On the way, she even sent a WhatsApp message to Keera. “Keera, I did something big today! I’ll tell you all about it some other day!”

Thinking back to the passionate encounter with Ellis, a hint of shyness appeared on her face.
