332 Chapter 331

Ellis subconsciously took two steps toward Mary, and then he saw Keera and Lewis rushing into the crowd, which made him pause slightly.

He let out a sneer and continued to look down at the wine glass in his hand.

Keira hadn’t expected Mary to encounter such an incident either; she hurried over upon hearing the commotion and had just gotten close when she heard the crisp sound of a slap.

She immediately pushed through the crowd and charged in, positioning Mary behind herself, and then turned to Chad. “What gives you the right to hit people?!”

Chad fixed his gaze on her. “On the grounds of the Davis family’s ancestral teachings! I am her elder brother! If she doesn’t respect or love herself, I have every right to teach her a lesson!”

Keira countered. “That’s domestic abuse!”

Chad circumvented her and turned to Mary, “Mary,

come and tell us. Do my hitting you count as domestic violence?!”

Mary’s face had already begun to swell up.

She was holding her head down, covering her face with her hands.

Keira argued. “Getting pregnant before marriage is her right! Chad, you’re infringing on her personal freedom by doing this!”

Chad was already pointing at her, berating loudly. “Sure, getting pregnant before marriage is her right, but did she ever consider, after getting pregnant, what kind of impact that would have on the women of the Davis family? Did you not just hear? What have the Davis family’s women been reduced to in people’s imaginations? If I don’t discipline her? Who would dare marry any woman from the Davis family in the future?!”

The rumors about the wealthy second-generation were already quite messy out there.

The five major families put a premium on face and honor, hence they manage both boys and girls quite

strictly.

In such matters, it’s often the girls who were at a disadvantage, so they were governed even more strictly.

Under the deliberate guidance of Christina and Victoria just now, everyone had already formed a bad impression of the Davis family’s women.

Chad’s words were spot on; if this matter passed without clarity, the reputation of the Davis family’s women would suffer, and marrying off would be difficult-doubt would be cast upon their honor!

Upon hearing this, Keira’s brow furrowed. She was about to speak when suddenly Mary pushed her arm away from behind. “Keera, this has nothing to do with
