My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire!-Chapter 292 - Finally Divorced
Finally Divorced
Mary clenched her fists tightly.
….
She knew what kind of demand her eldest uncle would make next…
But as she looked at her father with a bruised nose and swollen face, her mother who was being held down by bodyguards, unable to struggle, and her grandmother, who hurried over after hearing the commotion in the living room but fainted from the shock of the scene before her…
She knew none of this was Ellis’s fault.
If it weren’t for him, she would have already been taken advantage of by Mr. Lynch at the restaurant today…
Without sufficient ability to protect herself or make any significant achievements in the company to gain the favor of the first branch, and with her father being relentlessly suppressed by her uncle and his people…
Mary had long anticipated a situation like today’s.
Yet in her heart, she still harbored some resentment toward Ellis.
At the same time, she blamed herself in secret for how useless she was!
She was unable to protect her parents and unable to save her best friend.
In the end, she could only obediently become a social butterfly for her elder uncle…
Mary sat on the ground, feeling an overwhelming sense of helplessness wash over her.
Her father was trying to get up from the ground. “Mary, don’t agree to him…”
Mary’s mother looked at him incredulously…
Mary, seeing this, finally lowered her gaze. “Fine, I’ll be obedient. I’ll listen to everything you say from now on, just let my parents go…”
Finally satisfied, her eldest uncle stepped forward, pinching Mary’s chin. “Come tomorrow at six in the evening, and you’ll come with me to the hotel, and sweet-talk Mr. Lynch for me!”
Leaving these words behind, he left with his bodyguards in tow…
News of this soon reached Ellis’s ears.
At that moment, he was in the Olsen residence’s study, listening to his assistant’s report. Indescribable emotions flashed in his eyes.
He hadn’t expected Mary’s life to be this difficult.
The assistant asked cautiously, “Mr. Ellis, since she’s technically your woman, do you want to stop this…”
“No.”
Ellis suppressed the reluctance in his heart and sneered. “She dares to scheme against Keera, so she must pay these prices!”
Upon hearing this, the assistant looked at him. “What about that contract? Should we still help them?”
“Since I promised her, I won’t interfere anymore,”
Ellis lowered his gaze. “But the twenty million, I’ll have Keera pay it back afterward.”
The assistant nodded. “That works too. It just might show your cousin what kind of man her husband is. Who knows? After going through this ordeal, she might actually learn something!”
Ellis, however, smiled. “If she really gets over her infatuation, that means there’s hope. In that case, we’ll acknowledge her again as a cousin and let Uncle Olsen properly coach her!”
After finishing this topic, he instructed the assistant. “Keep a close eye on Keera’s situation; after all, she’s my uncle’s daughter and shouldn’t suffer too much loss.”
“Yes, but what about Miss Davis?”
Ellis fell silent for a moment and eventually said coldly, “Leave her be.”
Yet that night, Ellis dreamt of her.
He dreamt of Mary’s fair skin, and her plaintive crying on the sofa, begging him to be faster… Just as he was about to relent and end the encounter swiftly, the scene suddenly shifted.
Mary was beneath a corpulent man.
Her expression was licentious as she looked at him sideways. “It’s not my first time, Mr. Ellis. Don’t be so uptight!”
Ellis jolted awake suddenly. He rubbed his forehead, feeling utterly bewildered. No matter how much he tossed and turned, he couldn’t fall back asleep.
Barely making it through the night, he got up in the morning and went to the office to handle affairs. After finishing the meetings in the afternoon, as soon as he stepped out of the conference room, his assistant hurried over. “Mr. Ellis, after Howard knew we wouldn’t help, he proposed divorce to Miss Keera! We just received the news; he has printed a divorce agreement and is forcing Miss Keera to sign it.”
Ellis’s pupils contracted, and he let out a cold laugh. “Let’s go and see. Do they really think that Keera doesn’t have a family to back her up and that she can be bullied at will?!”
At this moment, Keera, whom Ellis thought was in dire straits, was struggling to suppress a smile as she looked at the divorce agreement. The agreement gave her the company and the villa.
Cindy was mocking her. “Keera, after all these years of marriage with Brother Howard, now he’s giving you the house and the company, and even the kid. Once Howard signs, you better sign quickly and painlessly, got it?” She finished speaking and looked toward Howard.
At this moment, Howard stared at the two copies of the divorce agreement, lost in thought, with an expression of reluctance creeping over his face. Three years! It had been three years since he married Keera, and all he had gotten was a little bit of cash.
In these three years, he gave Keera the first year’s company income as dividends, and for the second and third years, his salary amounted to around two million a year. Out of that, one million went to Keera for household expenses, and with the three million left, he spent a little over one million on Cindy, and some on entertaining, leaving only about a hundred thousand in savings… That was to say, he only got a little over a hundred thousand in three whole years. He really couldn’t bear to let it go!
But the house and company were originally in Keera’s name, and the emergency transfer was out of the question. If he wanted a clean break in the divorce, he had no choice but to leave the company and house to her!
Seeing his reluctance to sign, Keera’s eyes flickered, and then she feigned a look of agony. “Howard, you can’t abandon me… The real estate market in Clance is terrible right now, this villa can sell at most for fifteen million. The company has a debt contract of twenty million, and if we can’t sell it at a good price, I’ll end up with nothing and still be saddled with millions in debt. You can’t do this to me…” 𝗳r𝐞ew𝚎bn𝚘ve𝚕.c𝗼𝗺
Howard panicked a little. Yes, if he didn’t divorce, then both spouses would be burdened with millions in debt! Uncle Olsen had already sent people over with the message that they wouldn’t help… He pushed Keera away and was about to sign.
Keera couldn’t immediately show her eager expression; she still had to keep a miserable face. Seeing this, Howard’s mother couldn’t help speaking, “Keera, if Howard divorces you, you also have to look at your own problems! Why are you so incompetent? You slept with Mr. Horton and failed to pique his interest at all! If Mr. Horton were willing to help, maybe the company could be saved, and you and Howard wouldn’t have come to this!”
Keera really wanted to curse back. Howard had already signed one contract and was about to sign the second, but he hesitated again as if he was having doubts once more. The scolding and curses had to be forcefully swallowed.
Keera hung her head, continuing to cry. “Howard, for the sake of our three years of marriage, don’t abandon me, please. I haven’t worked for so many years, and the debt is in millions. I simply can’t raise Amy on my own…”
Hearing these words, Howard no longer hesitated and swiftly signed the second document. Seeing this, Keera smiled. Cindy immediately handed the two contracts to her. “Keera, stop struggling, just sign it! Otherwise, Howard and his mother won’t let you off! This marriage has been a torture for you, don’t blame anyone else. If you want to blame anyone, blame yourself for not having enough support from your own family, which is why your husband’s family can easily bully you!”
Keera took the contract with trembling hands. In the eyes of the three people, she was desperate. But only heaven knew how hard Keera was trying not to laugh…
And just then, outside the South family villa, a black luxury car screeched to a stop. Ellis strode into the South family villa with his assistant!
