Keira could only touch her forehead in exasperation as she found herself dragged along by Mary and Ellis to see the specialist treating Ellis's condition. The tension between the two was palpable, thick enough to cut with a knife.
Once inside the doctor's office, Ellis wasted no time. "Doctor, I want to do DNA verification with the child in her womb!"
The specialist picked up Mary's test results and stared at them with a bemused expression. Seeing that the so-called child was only three weeks in size, his mouth twitched involuntarily. "Mr. Ellis, I'm afraid that won't be possible at the moment."
Ellis was taken aback. "What do you mean 'not possible'?"
The expert sighed and began explaining patiently. "Right now, it's just an embryo. We cannot extract DNA from such a small source. Only after three months can we perform amniocentesis to extract the child's DNA and compare it with yours. Of course... there is another way right now."
"What way?" Ellis pressed, his jaw tight.
The expert coughed awkwardly. "That would be an abortion. We could keep the cells for comparison with yours, but certainly... the child wouldn't survive."
The room fell into a heavy silence. Ellis paused, his mind visibly churning with calculations and suspicions. Just as he was about to speak, Mary's voice cut through the air, firm and resolute.
"I want this child."
After the morning's twists and turns, the accusations, the humiliation in the CT room – Mary had made up her mind. She was keeping this baby, no matter what. How could she possibly sacrifice her child just to prove something to a man who had already judged her?
But Ellis's sneer was cold and sharp. "You want to drag this out for three months? What, do you want to take advantage of me and the Olsen family again for your own gain?"
Mary's fists clenched at her sides. She met his gaze with eyes that held years of unspoken pain. "Ellis, no matter what, the truth will be clear in three months."
Without waiting for his response, she grabbed Keira's wrist and turned away. "Let's go!"
Keira shot Ellis a glare that could have frozen fire before following Mary out of the office.
Mary's eyes were already rimmed with red as they walked through the parking lot and climbed into the car. Lewis was waiting in the driver's seat, one eyebrow raised at their expressions, but being a man of few words, he didn't ask anything and simply started the engine.
"Keira, please take me home," Mary said softly, her gaze fixed on the passing scenery outside the window, her face carrying a desolate emptiness.
She felt that all her years of unrequited love had led to this hurt, and the weight of it pressed down on her chest, making it hard to breathe. All she wanted now was to retreat to her room and disappear from the world.
Keira nodded and set up the GPS for Lewis. She took Mary's hand in hers, finding words of comfort difficult. Finally, she managed, "Mary, in three months, we'll have the DNA proof. We'll smack him right in the face with it!"
Mary let out a low, hollow chuckle and said nothing. Her eyes held a sense of self-mockery that cut deeper than any words could.
The truth was, now that she had calmed down, she felt she couldn't blame Ellis entirely for this. Years of living in destitution, fighting to maintain the pride she'd had since childhood, ensuring her parents could live with dignity – she had climbed the corporate ladder by any means necessary. She had secured countless partnerships for Davis Corporation, often negotiated over dinner tables with men who looked at her as more than a business associate. Her reputation outside had never been clean.
That was why people always misunderstood her as a gold-digger, someone who deliberately provoked others. Even Ellis would say she only wanted to use him to get something from the Davis family.
The car soon arrived at the Davis family home. Mary didn't say much. She got out and instructed Lewis to drive away, shaking her head at Keira's concerned gaze. Keira respected her wishes and said nothing more.
As Mary stepped through the front door, she found her parents sitting in the living room, laughing happily. When they saw her, her father stood up immediately.
"Mary, you've really done us proud this time! Your uncle just apologized to your mother and me. He said they've wronged us all these years..."
Mary forced a smile.
Her father continued, his voice brimming with excitement. "But your uncle said he sent you a message, and you didn't reply?"
Mary was taken aback.
"Mary, what your uncle says makes sense," her father pressed on. "You're so beautiful. I don't know why Mr. Ellis hasn't taken a shine to you, but if you can make Lewis fall for you, then you'll be the family head's wife one day! Your uncle said that then, you could have your grandparents buried together!"
Mary looked at her grandmother, who smiled hearing this. But inside, Mary felt nothing but coldness.
After their family's division, their treatment had deteriorated. Her parents had always pushed her to work hard, to make something of herself. At first, they told her to behave well when she went on a blind date with Ellis. Now they were agreeing with her uncle, telling her to seduce Lewis.
Even her parents and grandmother thought she should use her face for something. Over the years, they had made her do several things she wasn't proud of. So... what right did she have to blame Ellis for looking down on her?
Mary suddenly let out a sharp snort of laughter. She looked at her father and said, her voice steady but hollow, "Dad, even if I'm just a tool for an arranged marriage, shouldn't you at least leave me some dignity?"
Her father was startled into silence.
Mary continued, her voice growing firmer. "As for Lewis... I won't go."
Her voice was resolute as she turned and walked straight into her bedroom, closing the door behind her.
Before this moment, she had lived for her family. But from today onward, she would live for herself – and for her child.
Meanwhile, Ellis returned to the Olsen family home. His face was grim, so dark that his assistant following behind didn't even dare to breathe too loudly. Yet, the assistant couldn't help but wonder – in all these years, there had been no shortage of women who deliberately provoked his boss. Why had he never seen him this angry before?
Miss Mary Davis must be different to his boss, right?
As they entered the house, Ellis found that Christina, who was already married and living elsewhere, had returned home. At that moment, she was complaining loudly to Ellis's parents.
"I've never seen someone so barbaric! I only said a few words about her child, and she slapped me right across the face!"
Mr. Olsen furrowed his brows. "Doesn't she know who you are? How dare she hit you like that!"
Christina's voice turned even more indignant. "Yes, I specifically made my identity known. I thought no one would dare disrespect the Olsen family. I hoped to downplay this incident. But who knew that after hearing who I was, she became even more arrogant!"
Mary's mother asked, "Did you find out which family she's from?"
Ellis, listening to their conversation from the stairs, found it all deeply annoying. He couldn't even be bothered to speak to them and was about to go upstairs when Christina dropped a name that made him freeze.
"I found out. It's Mary from the Davis family. Her attitude was so arrogant..."
Mary's mother was surprised. "I remember that girl. She's particularly pretty. She has a child?"
Ellis paused mid-step.
Then Christina continued, "The child isn't hers. It's her close friend's. Her friend's name is Keira. I inquired about her, and it seems she has business dealings with our Olsen family..."
Mr. Olsen immediately slapped the table in anger. "Then what's the point of continuing the cooperation? Cancel it! You're the daughter of the Olsen family, and she dares to treat you like that?!"
Mary's mother frowned as well. "One should never hit the face when striking blows. Why should a dispute between children escalate to one involving adults? What kind of background does this Keira have that she thinks she can behave like that in Clance? I'll have your older brother drive her out!"
Mr. Olsen nodded firmly. "Even though you are not our biological child, we have no daughters in our family. You were raised in luxury as our child. How can you be treated like this?!"
As he finished speaking, he noticed Ellis standing there and immediately waved him over. "Ellis, come and defend your sister!"
Ellis came downstairs with a cold, impassive face, letting out a sneer that silenced the room. "That, I'm afraid, is not possible."
Mary's father was startled. "Why?"
But Ellis offered no explanation. He simply turned and walked away, leaving his family in stunned silence.

## Reader's Impressions
This chapter was an emotional rollercoaster. Watching Mary finally stand up to both Ellis and her own family was both heartbreaking and empowering. You can feel her pain – the realization that even her own parents see her as a bargaining chip, a beautiful face to be traded for family advantage. And Ellis... for a moment, he almost seemed human when he defended Keira, but his earlier cruelty and suspicion toward Mary still stings. The irony is thick – everyone judges Mary for using her looks, but her family has been pushing her to do exactly that her entire life.
**⭐ Rating: 4.2 / 5 Stars**
## Next Chapter Prediction
Ellis's refusal to turn against Keira will surely cause a massive confrontation within the Olsen family. Meanwhile, Mary's newfound resolve to live for herself will not sit well with her uncle, who will likely try to pressure her again. And in three months, the DNA test could shatter everything – for better or for worse. We might also see Keira taking matters into her own hands to defend her friend against the Olsen family's threats. The battle lines are being drawn!
