Chapter 309 Twist Your Head Off
Elsie froze. She’d never guessed Bethan was on the phone with her grandmother.
Panic shot through her, and she lunged forward, shoving Bethan hard to grab the phone.
Bethan didn’t see it coming. She nearly lost her balance from the rough push, and her phone went flying, smashing on the ground.
After picking up her phone with the cracked screen, Bethan looked up at Elsie and slapped her across the face without hesitation.
Elsie clutched her stinging cheek, stunned.
Bethan’s voice was cold as ice. “Try touching me again, Elsie Davis. Next time, it won’t be just one slap. And you owe me a new phone.”
She walked toward the hospital, leaving Elsie seething.

speed up her divorce from Hugh much easier. So she turned a blind eye to most of Megan’s provocations.
Unless absolutely necessary, she couldn’t even be bothered to expose her.
But this made Elsie actually think she was a pushover? Then she should take this.
Elsie glared at her retreating back, grinding her teeth. “Bitch. How dare you scheme against me? Just you wait!”
******
That evening after work, Bethan didn’t get a new phone from Elsie. Instead, the Davis family’s car pulled up.
Their butler walked over respectfully. “Ms. Olsen, Madam Davis would like to see you.”
Bethan looked at the open car door and got in.
An hour later, she stepped into Davis Manor’s living room. Edith, Frank, and Hugh were all waiting for her.
Seeing Hugh there caught her off guard.

Hugh stood immediately, scanning her for injuries. “Did she hurt you?”
Bethan subtly pushed him away, keeping her composure. “I’m fine.”
Elsie stood in the center, watching Hugh’s concern with
disbelief.
Everyone said Hugh had no feelings for Bethan. So why was he still so worried about her even after their divorce?
Edith’s eyes warmed when she saw Bethan. “I heard everything on the call. As long as I’m here, no one will wrong you.”
Frank snapped at Elsie. “Apologize to Dr. Olsen, now.”
Elsie hadn’t expected things to go this far.
To keep the peace, she walked over to Bethan and lowered her head. “I’m sorry, Dr. Olsen. I was wrong today. I apologize.”
Bethan refused right away. “I don’t accept.”

Elsie had been looking down on her for ages. This forced apology was anything but sincere.
Elsie hadn’t expected Bethan to reject her so bluntly in front of her family. She lost it on the spot.
“I already said sorry! What more do you want?”
She moved to shove Bethan again, but Hugh stepped forward. “Ms. Davis!”
His icy stare made Elsie back off immediately.
Edith’s face hardened. “Frank, as long as I’m alive, this ill-mannered girl is no longer part of the Davis family!”
Frank nodded sharply. “You’re absolutely right, Mother. I’ll have her thrown out right now.”
Elsie was stunned speechless.
She screamed desperately. “Grandma! Dad! We’re family! How can you kick me out for some outsider?”
*Slap!*

Frank slapped her hard. “Guards! Get this idiot out!”
Bethan watched quietly as Elsie was hauled out, her expression unchanged.
The Davis family wielded considerable influence among New York’s elite, with Frank standing as their head. With four brothers, Frank had learned the art of ruthlessness to maintain his position.
Though the Davis family was one of the eight prominent families, Frank was unusually humble and deferential in Hugh’s presence.
“Mr. Cavill, Elsie has lacked proper discipline since childhood. Please, you and Mrs…”
He faltered, catching his mistake and correcting himself swiftly. “Please, Mr. Cavill and Dr. Olsen, be magnanimous and forgive her this once.”
Bethan’s eyes flicked subtly to Hugh.
Elsie’s provocation alone wouldn’t be enough to get her banished from the Davis family. Edith and Frank were

taking these steps because they feared Hugh’s influence.
After accepting a new phone as compensation, Bethan exchanged a few polite words, declined their offer of a ride, and headed out.
Hugh said his goodbyes to Edith before stopping Frank, who was escorting them to the door.
Outside the manor, the rain had begun to fall in steady sheets.
Hugh held an umbrella over Bethan’s head, blocking her path as he stepped closer. “It’s hard to get a taxi in this weather. Let me drive you home.”
Bethan paused. She stopped and met Hugh’s eyes. “How did you know about my conflict with Elsie?”
Their gazes locked, and Hugh lowered his, reluctant to meet her eyes.
“Frank was with me when Madam Davis called him,” he explained, his voice calm but carrying an edge of something unspoken.

Bethan didn’t respond, her gaze drifting away from him.
Tentatively, Hugh reached for her arm. “Come on, get in. I’ll take you home.”
Before she could pull away, a flashy sports car pulled up. Arthur got out, and Hugh’s expression darkened.
Bethan stepped under Arthur’s umbrella.
He slung an arm around her shoulder casually—only for Hugh to knock it away.
