# Chapter 331: A Slap That Shook the Room
Hello everyone, it's me again! I hope you're all doing well today. We're back with another intense chapter of "My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire Reviews," and let me tell you, this one is packed with tension, gossip, and a shocking moment that will leave you gasping. So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let's dive right into the drama!
Picture this: a lavish party at the Olsen Group, filled with executives, employees, and wealthy elites. The air is thick with champagne and whispered conversations. Mary Davis, a director at Davis Corporation, has just made a bombshell announcement—she's pregnant. She said it to excuse herself from drinking, but little did she know, that simple statement would set off a firestorm.
The moment the words left her lips, the executive who was about to leave froze in his tracks. Nearby employees from both Davis Corporation and Olsen Group turned their heads, their eyes wide with curiosity. Christina, ever the instigator, feigned surprise. "Director Davis, what did you say?" she asked, her voice dripping with false innocence.
Mary, overwhelmed but resolute, suppressed her nausea and repeated, "I said I'm pregnant, so I'm feeling unwell and can't drink. Sorry."
The executive, stunned, nodded quickly. "I see, it's okay, it's okay... You definitely can't drink if you're pregnant. I didn't know... so you... take good care of yourself..."
Mary breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the worst was over. But Christina wasn't done. With a sly smile, she struck again. "Director Davis, I remember you aren't married, are you? How could you be pregnant?"
Dead silence fell over the crowd like a heavy blanket. Every eye was on Mary, then dropped to her stomach. The whispers began, soft at first, then growing louder. Victoria, another of the Olsen family's scheming daughters, joined in. "Christina, how can you ask such a question? Since Director Davis has announced her pregnancy, it must be good news, right? May I ask who the father is?"
Mary clenched her jaw, taking a deep breath. "Sorry, that's my privacy."
But Victoria pressed on. "Privacy? In families like ours, marriages are to be made public. Is Director Davis's fiancé a secret?"
Christina scoffed. "Don't tell me you don't know who it is. I've heard that Director Davis's personal life is quite controversial..."
And just like that, the floodgates opened. The employees began whispering and pointing at Mary. Words like "unmarried pregnancy," "loose morals," and "scandal" flew around the room. Some even spun wild tales about secret parties and orgies, speculating that Mary had been with so many men she didn't know who the father was. The gossip grew uglier by the second, painting Mary as a woman of questionable character.
Mary stood there, stunned. She had never imagined the gossip could spiral so far out of control. She clenched her fists, ready to walk away, but then Chad, her elder cousin, stormed over. He had heard the chatter about the Davis family's reputation being tarnished, and his face darkened with fury. He had unmarried sisters at home—if this scandal spread, it could ruin their chances of finding respectable husbands.
He blocked Mary's path. "Where are you going? Tell everyone who the father is!"
Mary's eyes instinctively searched for Ellis, the father of her child. But what did she see? Ellis was leaning against a wine table, a glass of champagne in his hand, gently swirling it. He had heard everything, yet he watched the scene unfold as if the champagne were a rare treasure that demanded all his attention. He made no move to help her.
A bitter smile crossed Mary's lips. Of course. In his eyes, her child belonged to another man. She had "messed around" with others—why would he ever step forward to defend her?
She lowered her gaze. "Chad..."
"Don't talk to me!" Chad roared. "Just tell me, what's the deal with this baby?!"
Mary looked him straight in the eye. "It's what it is."
Then she turned to the crowd, her eyes sharp and a cold smile on her lips. "The country has laws that allow unmarried women to get pregnant and have children, don't we? Are you all not allowing it? Or are you still living in the Medieval times? This is the 21st century! Don't tell me everyone's still holding onto those archaic ideas!"
Chad was furious. How dare she speak so unabashedly! Christina covered her mouth, feigning shock. "Miss Davis, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that the Davis family was so lenient. In the Olsen family, we must be home at night, and any movements after ten o'clock must be reported to parents..."
Mary's complexion changed slightly. She was about to retort, but then—*smack*! Chad's palm struck her face hard. As the elder cousin, he had the right to discipline his siblings, and Mary's words had severely impacted the Davis family's reputation.
Mary looked at him incredulously, tears welling in her eyes. "Chad?"
Chad had never laid hands on her before, even though he was strict. Now, he stared at her with contempt. "This slap is for your lack of self-respect! Mary, tell me now, who is that bastard man?"
From a distance, Ellis saw everything. His brows furrowed immediately, and his fingers tightened around the glass. But still, he did not move.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
Oh my goodness, what a chapter! The tension was absolutely palpable. I could feel Mary's humiliation and pain, and Chad's slap was so shocking—it really made me gasp. Christina and Victoria are such skilled manipulators, and the way they turned the crowd against Mary was masterfully written. But the most heartbreaking part? Ellis, standing there like a statue, refusing to defend the woman carrying his child. That cold indifference cuts deeper than any gossip. This chapter brilliantly highlights the cruelty of social circles and the double standards women face. The emotional depth here is phenomenal.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars**
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Now that Chad has slapped Mary in public, and Ellis has witnessed it all, I predict that Ellis will finally break his silence. He's been playing the aloof billionaire, but seeing Mary physically struck might be the wake-up call he needs. I think he'll step in, not just to reveal he's the father, but to publicly defend Mary and put Christina and Victoria in their place. The Olsen family's schemes are about to backfire spectacularly. Get ready for a dramatic confrontation!
