Ken asked, “Ellis, what brings you here today?”


    Ellis replied with a smile, not saying much, but asked, “I’m just here for a casual visit, Uncle Davis. May


    I go to your New Energy Research and Development


    Department?”


    Upon hearing this, Ken immediately thought of something, “Are you here to find Mary?”


    Ken certainly had an impression of this niece from another branch of their family.


    She wasn’t only strikingly beautiful, but her abilities were also outstanding. She was the only one


    among the younger generation of the second branch to be employed by Davis Corporation.


    He remembered that Davis Corporation had wanted arrange a marriage with the Olsen family and


    introduced Ellis to several young women from their family, including Mary from the second branch.


    However, someone from the second branchter came and said it hadn’t worked out.


    <


    Ken didn’t take it to heart. His own daughter and Ellis hadn’t taken a liking to each other. When it came


    to marriage, it was all about fate; there was no need to


    rush.


    Ellis coughed lightly. “Right, I have something to discuss with her.”


    “Okay, I’ll take you there.”


    “Thank you, Uncle Davis!”


    The two talked as they made their way to the elevator.


    The elevator opened.


    Ellis and Ken entered the CEO’s private elevator and went directly to the R&D Department, but they


    didn’t see Keira or Mary.


    Ellis looked around, while Ken asked an employee, “Where’s Mary? Ellis is here to see her!”


    “She was just fired by Mr. Wayne Davis! They said she embezzled for personal gain, investing the


    company’s project funds into her best friend’spany and now can’t produce any results…”


    Ken was stunned. “Fired? Where’s Brian? Get him over here. I want to know what’s going on.”


    <


    The employee’s face instantly showed a conflicted


    expression, “Uh, Brian was also fired. Mr. Wayne said it was because he was in cahoots with Mary.”


    Ken was perplexed.


    He awkwardly turned to Ellis, still somewhat bemused,


    “It’s…”


    Ellis frowned, not expecting to have arrived toote!


    See, without him, things just weren’t right; now she had gotten fired!


    Ken pulled out his phone and called Mary. “Mary, where are you? If there’s an issue,e up and


    exin…the underground parking garage? Then you shoulde…”


    Before he could finish his sentence, Ellis had alread turned and started walking downstairs.


    Ken had intended to ask Mary toe upstairs, but stopped and changed his approach. “Don’t go.


    We’lle to you!”


    “We?”


    Mary looked at her disconnected phone, slightly startled, then nervously turned to Keira. “Keera. mv


    uncle said he’sing to find me!”


    Keira nodded, “Okay.”


    After saying that, she realized that Mary looked a little flustered. She immediately understood. “Are you


    really scared of him?”


    “Of course! Who wouldn’t be afraid of him?”


    Mary swallowed nervously. “That’s the family head of the Davis family. When my grandfather was in


    charge, we used to live together, and Uncle Ken was very imposing. We younger ones were all scared


    of him. After my grandfather passed away, and we split up, Uncle Ken became even more imposing.


    We usually didn’t dare to say much around him…”


    As the two were talking, they heard a voice. “Mary!


    Miss South!”


    They turned around to see Brian running toward th


    Mary apologized to Director Brian with great remors “Director Brian, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault for


    dragging you into this…”


    Director Brian usually took good care of her, yet upon


    <


    hearing this, he showed an excited expression. “Sorry for what? I should be thanking you!”


    Mary was confused.


    The position of Chief of Research and Development Department of Davis Corporation was a high one,


    a position Director Brian had worked for twenty years to attain. Now that he was dismissed, was he


    confused?!


    Director Brian then turned to Keira. “Miss South, um… may I ask, now that I’ve been dismissed, can I


    join yourpany?!”


    Keira didn’t even think about it. “Of course you can!”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Director Brian spoke up for them just now, and besides, thepany was indeed short on a


    management person; he would be a perfect fit.


    Director Brian immediately became excited, “Reall


    “Yup.”


    Mary said, “Director Brian, are you sure? Keera’spany is quite small… they won’t be able to offer a


    high sry… and at the moment, they still owe a substantial debt to Davis Corporation…”


    Keira had mentioned a new n to Maryst night, but since Mary’s expertise was in investment rather


    than in research, she didn’t quite grasp the importance of Keira’s project.


    Director Brian immediately said, “The sry isn’t important. What’s important is that we have Miss


    South’s project in hand, which guarantees ourpany a top position in the future new energy


    industry! As for that bit of debt… Miss South, don’t worry, I’ve just called the Research and


    Development Department of the Olsen family, and their Investment Manager is personally rushing over


    here right now. They’ll be able to cover those twenty million for you in minutes!”


    Mary was dumbfounded.


    She couldn’t shake the feeling that Director Briar might be exaggerating a little.


    As the three were chatting, Wayne came downstai well, and upon spotting them, he immediately came


    over with a mocking smile. “What’s the matter? Can bear to leave? Brian, I can overlook your earlier


    oversight, as long as you admit your mistake. I’ll let ye back to work!”


    Director Brian paused, then twisted his mouth awkwardly, “Mr. Davis, that… won’t be necessary. I’ve


    found a new position.”


    Wayne frowned, “That was quick? I suppose you’ve wanted to leave for a while now, haven’t you?!”


    After saying this, he turned to Mary. “Do you realize your mistake? If you admit your fault by kneeling


    down and ápologizing to me, I might be in a good mood and speak to thepany to give your friend’s


    company a bit more time!”


    Mary took a deep breath. “Uncle, don’t bother!”


    She dared not say anything too harsh, for her parents and grandmother still depended on him to make


    a


    living.


    Her parents and grandmother had been living in lu in the Davis residence and refused to move out. The


    had to obey Wayne Davis.


    That was why Mary had been so driven to seed, al for the sake of establishing a foothold in Davis


    Corporation!


    Ever since she started working at Davis Corporation,


    Un Von had actually started tranting their family a

    lot better…


    But now… she had offended Wayne, and life was probably going to be difficult from here on.


    Upon seeing her intransigence, Wayne was about to explode with anger. “Mary, don’t push your luck!


    Do you believe that I can disown your grandmother and your father from the family right now, and have


    your whole family evicted?!”


    Mary’s pupils contracted sharply.


    Her grandmother had always wanted to be buried together with her grandfather; it was the only hope in


    her life!


    Now in her old age, she was just waiting for that d If she were to be disowned… her grandmother


    probably wouldn’t be able to withstand the shock parents wouldn’t be able to ept it either!


    Clenching her fists in anger and with tears rimming her eyes, she red at Wayne, “You…”


    Just then, “Ding!”


    The elevator bell rang.


    Ellis and Ken strode out of the elevator…
