291 Mary’s Choice

Ellis was slightly startled when he heard this. “You mean, Keera wants to divorce on her own?”

Since the topic had come to this point, Mary really feared that Ellis would take action and help Keera’s Company solve the contract issues…

The last time she was blocked by Keera, she said something. The last message Keera sent Mary was, “Even if Howard really cheats, the fact that he’s been hiding it from me shows that he cares about me. Mary, I don’t need your warnings; he just made a mistake that any man could make. If you don’t tell me, maybe he’ll return to the family after a while on his own! I don’t need your warnings!”
