296 Father and Daughter

Mary’s attitude toward him suddenly became inexplicably strange, which made Ellis very uncomfortable.

Even though he was willing to help Keera get through this tough time, he couldn’t help but utter such an

annoying statement, all to make Mary take back her words. “My matters are none of Mr. Ellis’s concern.”

ན་བར

Ellis could see that Mary’s attitude had softened.

He remembered how she had once begged him not to help Howard for Keera’s sake, so this time, for the sake of her best friend, she would surely lower her head

again…

Just as he thought this, sure enough, he saw Mary begin to speak, “I…”

At that moment, a cold voice came through. “Our matters are none of your business.”

Ellis was dumbfounded.

He slightly turned his head and saw Keera, who looked exactly like Keira except for the absence of a mole at

the corner of her eye.

For some reason, in the instant he looked at her, the coldness in Keera’s eyes made him feel as if he were facing Keira herself!

Unfortunately, in a moment of panic, Keera’s gaze lost its aggressiveness, becoming ordinary and gentle. She seemed unable to meet his gaze, having already looked away elsewhere.

A mischievous anger began to rise in Ellis’s heart.

What was happening today? Things just kept happening!

For some reason, in front of Mary, he didn’t want his commands to be defied. He scoffed. “You don’t need my help? So, are you planning to sell the villa? Or t company? Oh, your company is currently burdened with so much debt that probably no one would take over. Are you considering selling the villa? But the re estate market is not doing well now, and it would take quite some time before you could sell that villa…” Mary immediately protested “The villa can’t be sold! Keera, as you said before, that’s the only thing your foster parents left you. You can’t sell it!”
