My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！ - Chapter 290
Chapter 290 Uncle Olsen’s Daughter
Ellis arrived in front of Howard.
….
Howard immediately bent over and lowered his head, with a pleasing smile on his face. “Mr. Ellis, I went to the Olsen family to find Uncle Olsen but couldn’t see anyone, so I came to look for you to try my luck…”
Ellis looked down at him. “What do you want from me?”
“It’s like this. Last time in Oceanion, Uncle Olsen and I hit it off. Afterward, he even had my wife, Keera, help visit Mrs. Olsen, so my wife and I have a very good relationship with Uncle Olsen, and there’s something I’d like to ask Uncle Olsen about. I wonder if Mr. Ellis could deliver a message for me?”
He sent a message to Uncle Olsen only to find out that he had been blocked on WhatsApp a long time ago.
Ellis’s eyes narrowed. “What message?”
Howard smiled and said, “We’re having a slight issue with our collaboration with Davis Corporation. Could I trouble Uncle Olsen or Mr. Ellis to step in, give them a greeting on our behalf, and ask the Davis family to give us some more time? Just give us one more month, no, half a month and I’ll definitely submit the proposal!”
Ellis lowered his gaze, sneering/ “Alright, I’ll deliver your message.”
Having said that, Ellis got into his car.
Howard and Cindy didn’t dare to stop him anymore, and Ellis’s car sped away.
After Ellis left, Cindy asked, “Will this work?”
Howard said, “Last time Keera helped Uncle Olsen a great deal, and afterward, Uncle Olsen said we could ask him if we needed anything. It should be no problem for such a small favor.”
The two talked and left the place.
After they were gone, Mary stepped out from the corner.
She had just come down to the parking lot, not yet finding her car, when she saw Howard and Cindy stopping Ellis, so she had secretly hidden on the side to eavesdrop.
If Ellis really conveyed the message to Uncle Olsen, wouldn’t that ruin Keera’s plans?
With this thought, Mary hurriedly took out her phone, found Ellis on WhatsApp, hesitated for a moment, and then directly dialed his number.
The sky had already darkened.
At that moment, Ellis was reclining in a chair, his eyes closed, resting.
His mind was filled entirely with Mary’s delicate skin… endlessly tantalizing!
But when he thought about her words, “not the first time,” Ellis could not help but scowl.
It was his first time…
If that was the case, wasn’t he at a loss?!
He loosened his tie, feeling a bit irritated.
Just then, his phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at it and saw that it was Mary’s WhatsApp.
As for when he had added Mary on WhatsApp, he had no recollection, but Mary had been mingling in their circles since she was young.
Back then Mary was still the granddaughter of the Davis Family’s patriarch and everyone would show her some respect.
But after Mary’s grandfather passed away and the first branch took over the Davis Family, as Mary’s branch gradually declined, she started to become more invisible in the circle…
Thinking of this, Ellis answered the voice call.
He began, “What’s the matter?”
Mary’s voice came through, “Did you just say that as long as the requests I make aren’t excessive, you’ll agree to them?”
A mocking smile instantly appeared on Ellis’s face, “So just now you really were playing hard to get? Miss Davis, there’s really no need for you to play so many tricks in front of me!”
Mary was taken aback.
Ellis said indifferently, “Speak.”
He thought Mary would ask him to marry her, to take responsibility for her, or take advantage of the situation to get some benefits for her branch of the Davis Family or at least to solidify her position within Davis Corporation. However, to his surprise, he heard Mary speak,
“Could you not help Howard and Keera?”
Ellis immediately furrowed his brows. He let out a cold laugh. “The favor you’re asking of me, that’s it?”
“Yes.”
“Can’t do it.”
Right after Ellis said those words, he hung up. He was very angry. The assistant beside him saw this and couldn’t help saying, “Mr. Ellis, Miss Davis also didn’t know about Miss Keera’s identity…”
“Even if she is not Uncle Olsen’s daughter, is this the way to treat an ordinary friend?!” Ellis rebuked, then scoffed. “If she really can’t stand someone like Keera, then she should keep her distance. It was Mary herself who got closer, and the result was just to embarrass Keera?! Is their friendship of over ten years all fake?! If Uncle Olsen found out about Keera’s identity and Mary’s behavior, I’m afraid Mary would no longer be able to stay in Oceanion!”
After this remark, the assistant was silent for a moment before saying, “Mr. Ellis, are you still not going to tell Uncle Olsen the truth about the DNA test?”
The question made Ellis frown. The results of the DNA test had been out for a while. Uncle Olsen had sounded so confident, and he actually believed Keera was Ellis’s dad’s illegitimate daughter, which caused him to show his dad a cold face at home for those two days. Later, Ellis even got a good beating from his dad. Who would have thought that the results would show that Keera was Uncle Olsen’s daughter?
Ellis was stunned at the time. He had planned to tell Uncle Olsen immediately, but after hearing the assistant’s report on Keera’s life, Ellis hesitated. Uncle Olsen had always been a proud man. For so many years, not a single woman had caught his eye, and he had once been asked, “Why not find someone, just to have some company?”
Uncle Olsen’s reply was, “Blood ties aren’t to be compromised with. Better have nothing than have something shoddy.”
If Uncle Olsen knew that his daughter had been living such a defeated life, being played around by a man from a small place, Uncle Olsen would probably be so angry he’d explode. His glorious and majestic life would be ruined by his daughter, Keera! Therefore, Ellis hadn’t gone to see Uncle Olsen for a long time and hadn’t reported the matter. And Uncle Olsen was out there looking for traces of Mrs. Olsen, so the two of them hadn’t seen each other since that day.
Ellis sighed. “Let’s not talk about this for now. I’m afraid Uncle Olsen might get so angry it harms him.”
The assistant asked again. “Then, this matter… do we intervene?”
Ellis tensed his jaw. He actually felt like not intervening, thinking it would be quite good just to let Howard abandon Keera. It might even cure this cousin of her love-sick brain. Yet he also felt that this was his cousin’s own choice.
The Olsen family’s tradition had always taught them since childhood to act according to their own hearts, and the family elders never did things just because they felt “It’s good for you.” Instead, they only asked, “What do you want?”
So, if Keera loved Howard so deeply, Ellis’s choice would be to help her pressure Howard, to make him afraid to ever divorce. After all, the Olsen family could protect her for a lifetime!
Just as he thought about this, his phone buzzed because of WhatsApp again, and it was still from Mary.
With a decision forming in his heart, Ellis’s tone became a few degrees colder. “Miss Davis, are you doing this just to hit back at your good friend Keera?”
Mary hurriedly said, “No, I want her to get a divorce.”
Ellis snorted. “You want her to get a divorce, but does she want it herself? Do you not know that such strong opinions forced onto another person are actually very annoying?”
Mary was infuriated by his words. “How do you know she doesn’t want to?!”
