My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire?

Chapter 289

Her skin was so hot, and the way she looked… Was she drugged?

Ellis furrowed his brows.

He asked, “Mary, do you know who I am?”

“You are Ellis!”

Mary murmured, continuing to snuggle up to him.

How could Ellis resist such seduction?

His breathing grew heavier, and, holding onto Mary’s chin, with a profound look in his eyes, he said, “This isn’t your first time, is it?”

Mary was startled.

Even though her reasoning was almost completely worn down, she still paused for a moment, feeling a slight pain in her chest.

Her blurred eyes looked at Ellis, and after a while, she suddenly laughed. “Of course not.”

Upon hearing this, Ellis felt an inexplicable annoyance

in his chest.

With just a look, he sent his assistant and the others away, and then he fiercely turned his gaze to Mary, “You are the one who started this!”

Outside, the client Ellis had an appointment with today was stopped by his assistant.

About to ask what was going on, faint sounds suggesting a tryst emanated from the private room, letting the visitor immediately catch on. “Since Mr. Ellis isn’t unavailable today, let’s reschedule for another

time.”

Watching the visitor leave, the assistant returned his attention to the private room.

The sounds inside were becoming more intense.

His face flushed with embarrassment, but he could only wave his hand, signaling the bodyguards to step back a few paces to keep a distance.

Alas! He wasn’t a man and wasn’t immune to

eavesdropping. He was a perfectly normal man! Mr. Ellis should definitely give him a pay raise!

Mary had no idea how much time had passed when she finally woke up.

She moved her sore arms.

Every part of her felt as if it had been crushed by a massive truck, leaving her brain somewhat fogged,

unsure of where she was…

“Click.”

The light turned on.

Only then did she notice it was dark outside, and a

man in a suit sat before her.

It was then that Mary realized she was lying on th

couch, her clothes scattered all over the floor in

disarray. She exclaimed in shock, immediately cov her chest, and turning her gaze fiercely toward Ellis

“You…”

When she thought about what happened that day, her voice came to an abrupt halt

It was she who started it…

A hint of shyness flooded her cheeks, and after the

initial surprise, a touch of joy emerged in her heart.

“Miss Davis,” Ellis then smiled and immediately produced a bank card, extending it toward her. “Your fee for last night.”

Mary was taken aback, her fingers tightening.

Fee for service…

What did he take her for?

The man’s comment on her flashed through her mind, and she cast her gaze downward. She felt as cold as an ice cellar, her voice carrying a trace more chill. “Don’t

bother.”

With that statement, the room fell silent for a moment.

She looked up only to see Ellis appraising her closely, his gaze filled with scrutiny.

Mary lowered her gaze, then said, “I’m not that kind of person. There’s no need for you to insult me with

money.”

“Is that so?”

Ellis withdrew his bank card, “Then you must have

other desires? Considering your passion last night and how well we fit together, why don’t you speak up? As long as your requests aren’t too excessive, I’ll fulfill

them.”

Mary looked at him incredulously.

She had been following Ellis for many years…

He wasn’t that type of person, unlike other wealthy heirs. He was never fickle or messy, and his private life was exceptionally clean.

That’s also why Ellis was the dream lover of so many eligible ladies in Clance.

But now, could he actually be thinking about her like

this?

She clenched her fists tightly, stood up from the couch, and asked with her head lowered, “Could you prepare a set of suitable clothes for me?”

Ellis pointed to the corner. “It’s already prepared.”

Mary followed his gaze and, sure enough, there were some clothes.

She walked over, tried the pieces on one by one, and found that the fit was surprisingly perfect…

Yes, he has always been so meticulous.

Just like years ago, after rescuing her from those people, he had also carefully given her a few band- aids…

She hadn’t had the heart to use them even now and

still kept them.

Mary gave a bitter smile.

She finished dressing and turned to look at Ellis.

Ellis was still staring at her. “Tell me, what do you novelbin

want?”

Mary lowered her gaze. “Whether you believe it or not, I truly don’t want anything.”

After saying that, she bent down to pick up her bag, stuffed her own phone into it, then straightened her back and looked at Ellis. “Mr. Ellis, I was presumptuous last night, and if anything, I was the one who took advantage of you.”

Having said that, she took a stack of cash from her bag and placed it on the table. “This is for last night’s

services.”

Her words made Ellis’s pupils contract slightly his icv

gaze piercing Mary.

Although Mary felt fear, she still turned around and walked briskly out of the room.

When she opened the door and ran out, only then did she cover her wildly beating heart, feeling that if she stayed any longer in that suite, her heart might leap out through her mouth!

She took a deep breath and then turned to leave.

Once she had left, the assistant entered the suite.

He saw Mr. Ellis with a dark gaze fixed on the stack of cash on the table, and the assistant, not understanding the situation, reported to him. “Mr. Ellis, Miss Keera has indeed run into trouble. It’s said their company didn’t submit the research plan on time and was su by Davis Corporation. The penalty is ten times the amount, as high as twenty million…”

In the contract between the two parties, it was stipulated that Davis Corporation would pay Keera’s company two million annually for research funding. This penalty was a bit excessive.

Ellis immediately sneered. “How could the penalty be

so high?”

The assistant promptly said, “It’s said to be a

contractual trap…”

A contractual trap….

Thinking of Mary’s words “deliberate retaliation,” Ellis sneered again.

He had thought that the whole affair could indeed have been an accident, but now it turned out that what Mary had said was true! If it wasn’t for a deliberately set contractual trap, how could Howard have signed it?

She was really out for retaliation!

That woman was truly too sinister and ruthless.

Ellis thought again of how Mary had just shown such pride in front of him. It must have been a ploy to entice capture.

He slammed his teacup onto the ground in anger.

He didn’t understand why he was suddenly feeling so irrationally irritable.

It was just a night he had spent with her… No, it was she who had slept with him, right? Such a woman wasn’t worth being on his mind.

Ellis sneered as he stood up and straightened his

clothes. “Let’s go.”

He walked straight out.

The assistant instinctively picked up the stack of money on the table. “Mr. Ellis, whose money is this? It must amount to about three thousand, right?”

Ellis was speechless.

He turned back sharply, glanced at the money in the assistant’s hand, and after a moment of silence,

sneered. “It’s yours now.”

Leaving those words behind, he walked out the door to the parking lot, only to see Howard and Cindy pacing back and forth in front of his car.

The assistant immediately said, “Mr. Ellis, this Howar has been trying to reach Uncle Olsen, but after we stopped him, he came looking for you…”

Ellis frowned. “What does he want with me? Let’s go

and see.”

He had only ever looked down on such a scoundrel in the past.

But now thinking of Keera as his cousin. he took a

deep breath to suppress his anger and went to meet

Howard.
