Mi marido accidental es ¡un billonario!

Mary looked at that slender hand and was slightly

taken aback.”

Then she saw the door being pushed open.

Uncle Davis couldn’t help but turn his head to look, only to see a man standing outside.

Upon seeing him, everyone in the room paused for a

moment.

Everyone knew this person. He was the assistant to Mr. Ellis. He stood there, his gaze sweeping over everyone present before finally settling on Mary. “Mr. Ellis is dining next door, and he asked me to come and say hello. Miss Davis, are you alright?”

Uncle Davis immediately paused.

He then turned his gaze toward Mary.

He had originally thought that Mary hadn’t caught Mr. Ellis’s eye, which was why he brought her here to accompany the fat Lynch, but now Mr. Ellis suddenly came in to greet her…

Was Mr. Ellis interested in Mary?

288 Something

Mary hadn’t expected Mr. Ellis’s assistant to expressly ask after her, but she instantly understood; this was her chance to flaunt borrowed power.

She decisively grabbed the opportunity, smiling. “I’m fine. There’s no need for Mr. Ellis to worry. I was just discussing a partnership with Uncle Lynch and my uncle. Right, Uncle Lynch?”

Mr. Lynch was also bewildered at this point.

Ever since the Davis family’s main branch took control of the company, they had been excluding the second branch.

That was why he dared to show disrespect to the second branch, as a sort of statement to the main

branch.

He couldn’t afford to offend any of the five major

families!

Now that Mr. Ellis had spoken up, how would he dare say anything? He immediately replied with a grin. “Yes, yes, I’m here discussing a partnership with my niece! Dear niece, did you bring the contract?”

Mary looked toward her uncle.

Her uncle immediately said, “Yes, I did.”

He directly took the contract out of his pocket.

Without saying another word, Mr. Lynch signed the contract and then cheerily looked at Mary. “Dear niece, your uncle and I are like brothers. His niece is practically my own! I just remembered I have something else to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first!”

With that statement, Mr. Lynch promptly ran off.
