Chapter 393
Mary’s tears cascaded down her face. “Don’t, Ellis, I beg you…”

….
“It’s no use. This time, I won’t go soft on you!”

Ellis’s stance was unyielding.

He held Mary’s arm tightly with one hand while the other gently caressed her hair. “Once this child is gone, these rumors will subside in time. Later, it’ll be just the two of us, side by side…”

“Ellis! Don’t!!” Mary struggled to break free from his grip, almost shrieking, “I’m begging you! Don’t do this!”

But Ellis didn’t give her another chance to speak and dragged her toward the guest bedroom.

In the living room, James, Charles, and even Victoria were all stunned.

The three of them watched the direction the two had left, all showing expressions of disbelief.

Victoria glanced at James and coughed before saying, “James, are you saying that the child isn’t really Ellis’s?”

James’s face showed a troubled expression as if he had something to say but didn’t dare to speak it.

His straightforward nature was such that he could never keep a secret.

Victoria might not have known what had happened, but she was sure that her guess was absolutely correct!

Charles, who was beside them, couldn’t help but say, “Does Ellis also suspect this? Did Mary trick him?”

James snorted. “She was fooling around before they were married. I really don’t understand why Ellis would marry a woman like that, and Uncle Olsen too…”

“What about me?”

The voice of Uncle Olsen came through, causing James’s voice to trail off slightly, and he froze. Then he slowly turned around and smiled ingratiatingly. “Uncle, you are wise and peerless, truly beyond compare!”

Uncle Olsen frowned. “Stop with the nonsense.”

After that, he looked up the stairs, unable to resist asking, “Where are your big brother and sister-in-law?”

James was taken aback and looked toward the side room.

Uncle Olsen furrowed his brows. “What is it?”

James coughed. “Ellis and Mary went to the guest room.”

“Doing what in the guest room?”

As Uncle Olsen said this, he took a couple of steps toward the guest room.

However, Victoria immediately said, “Uncle, Ellis and Mary are newlyweds. They surely have some private words to share. Let’s not disturb them!”

Uncle Olsen didn’t think much of it and nodded, then took a seat on the sofa.

In just a short while, Ellis’s parents also came in.

Uncle Olsen greeted them. “Hello, guys.”

Mr. Olsen was very polite to his younger brother. He gave the latter a nod with a smile, then quickly looked around, frowning in concern. “Where is Ellis? How come he hasn’t arrived yet? What’s he thinking? How could he keep his uncle waiting?”

Mrs. Olsen explained to Uncle Olsen with a smile. “He must have been delayed by something.”

Uncle Olsen didn’t mind it and simply asked both to sit down.

Victoria’s gaze, however, returned to the direction of the guest room.

Mary had married into the Olsen family relying on that child. If the child were gone, her in-laws would indeed not tolerate her!

Before they were married, she dared to give trouble to her as the younger sister-in-law. Now, it was time for Mary to taste the bitterness of being utterly alone!

While she was caught up in her thoughts, a maid came over with some pills.

The medicine emitted a strong bitter odor that immediately spread to the living room, alerting Mr. Olsen, Mrs. Olsen, and everyone else who saw the nanny carrying the medicine to the guest room.

Mrs. Olsen instantly stood up, tense with concern. “What’s this medicine? What’s happened? Mary isn’t feeling unwell, is she? She’s pregnant right now; she can’t just take any medicine.”

Having said that, she stood up, ready to walk over there.

But Victoria grabbed her arm. “Auntie, actually, I didn’t want to tell you all about this, but now I think I should.”

She took out her phone and handed the document to Mrs. Olsen.

Mrs. Olsen glanced at it only briefly before flinging the phone away. “What is this messy, filthy nonsense? Just looking at this thing could curse you with a sty! Victoria, you’re so young. Where did you get this from?”

Victoria paused for a moment, her face tinged with awkwardness.

She then steered the conversation back on track. “No, this has been circulating in our circle. The hostess mentioned in it refers to your eldest daughter-in-law!”

It was only then that Mrs. Olsen reacted. “What?”

Victoria cast a glance at James before speaking up, “Everyone is saying that Austin wrote this. He admitted it himself. More than two months ago, he had a one-night stand with your daughter-in-law. As soon as Ellis heard it, he immediately dragged her to the guest room and then had the nanny bring abortion pills…”

Victoria expressed concern, “Auntie, even if your daughter-in-law did get together with Austin, it was a mistake before marriage. Isn’t Ellis being a bit too harsh?”

At these words, James couldn’t hold back, immediately retorting, “How is Ellis being too harsh? She married in carrying another man’s child, making a cuckold of him. Just having her terminate the pregnancy is already being kind to her!”

These words left Victoria slightly dumbfounded.

“James, what do you mean by that? Are you saying the child really isn’t Ellis’s?”

As Mrs. Olsen was about to rush over, she stopped in her tracks upon hearing this, looking bewildered at James.

James was choked up, and after a long pause, he finally spoke, “Yes, it’s not. That’s why Ellis’s actions are right. It should be this way! To prevent our Olsen Family’s reputation from being tarnished!”

Victoria immediately asked, “How do you know it’s not?”

This time, James protected Ellis’s privacy. “I just know. Don’t worry about how I found out!”

Mr. Olsen and Mrs. Olsen exchanged glances, worry evident in their eyes.

If the child wasn’t Ellis’s, should they still try to stop it?

In the guest room, Ellis trapped Mary on the couch, staring at her intensely. His eyes were bloodshot as he gazed at Mary.

Mary was still pleading desperately. “Ellis, no, this child is truly yours!”

This only incited Ellis’s sense of irony.

He had believed Mary’s lies and had gone to the hospital for tests over and over, only to be told each time that he had azoospermia… It couldn’t be that three different hospitals were deceiving him!

So, the only person deceiving him had to be Mary.

He watched as Mary pleaded desperately before him, and suddenly, he grabbed her throat. “Mary, shut up! I don’t want to hear you say that again! I won’t believe you!”

Mary’s voice indeed stopped. Her eyes were red with swelling tears as she looked at Ellis.

Ellis then slowly approached her. “Mary, terminate this pregnancy, keep to yourself from now on, and I’ll have a good life with you. I’ll treat you well…”

Mary closed her eyes in agony, tears rolling down her cheeks as she resignedly hung her head.

Just then, the door to the adjacent bedroom was suddenly kicked open!
