Mary clenched her fists tightly.
She knew what kind of demand her eldest uncle would make next...
But as she looked at her father with a bruised nose and swollen face, her mother who was being held down by bodyguards, unable to struggle, and her grandmother, who hurried over after hearing the commotion in the living room but fainted from the shock of the scene before her...
She knew none of this was Ellis's fault.
If it weren't for him, she would have already been taken advantage of by Mr. Lynch at the restaurant today...
Without sufficient ability to protect herself or make any significant achievements in the company to gain the favor of the first branch, and with her father being relentlessly suppressed by her uncle and his people...
Mary had long anticipated a situation like today's.
Yet in her heart, she still harbored some resentment toward Ellis.
At the same time, she blamed herself in secret for how useless she was!
