âŠ.
Ellis was stunned once again. âWhat?â
He was usually quite calm, but today, he was shocked twice in a row.
He slowly looked up at Mary in disbelief.
Mary said, âYes, weâre having twins, and the checkup shows it should be one boy and one girl.â
Ellis was flabbergasted.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly stood up, wanting to reach out and touch Maryâs belly, but he hesitated, swallowed, and cautiously looked at her abdomen. âTwins?â
âYes.â
âMary, are you a fairy sent from heaven to save me?â
Ellis rushed to the door, opened it, and was about to share the great news with everyone when he saw his parents tumble in.
It turned out the two had been eavesdropping outside the door all alongâŠ
A wave of jubilation swept through them.
But soon, they calmed down.
Mrs. Olsen looked at Mary. âSweetheart, why didnât you tell us earlier? Ellis and I were both misled!â
Mary smiled and said, âAt first, I didnât know how to break the news, and later, Keera told me not to announce it to the public yet for the safety of the children.â
Upon hearing that, everyoneâs expression changed drastically.
Previously, Ellis was accused of being sterile, which was clearly a setup, and now Susan was trying to poison Ellis to settle matters once and for all.
If Mary had indeed announced her pregnancy the day she returned home, it was very likely Susan would have targeted her, not Ellis!
Mrs. Olsen immediately nodded. âYou did the right thing! To stop Ellis from having children with his wife, they would normally poison Ellis because even if the wife is poisoned, he could still have children with someone else. But your situation is differentâŠâ
Mr. Olsen also nodded. âThen letâs not announce it to the public. Weâll just say sheâs not pregnant and that Ellis is physically unfit. Let him deal with those affairs.â
Ellis couldnât help but smile bitterly. âThat way, I might become a laughingstock in my circle.â
Mrs. Olsen shot a glare at him. âWhatâs more important, your ego or Mary and the children?â
Ellis didnât know what to say.
Mrs. Olsen then held Maryâs hand. âMary, you have to be careful.â
Mary smiled at her. âMom, I want to have ribs tonight. You wonât stop me anymore, will you?â
This made Mrs. Olsen blush. âHow could I? Of course not! Iâll cook it for you myself! From now on, Iâll prepare all your meals, and weâll just say we want you to lose weightâŠâ
While the family of four was discussing, downstairs, Keira looked at Peter and Jenkins. âDonât announce the news of Maryâs pregnancy. Understood?â
Peter and Jenkins immediately nodded. âUnderstood.â
Peter then frowned and looked at Susan and her brother. âKeera, you shouldnât have revealed your identity in front of themâŠâ
âItâs okay.â
Keira slowly crouched down, looking at Susan. âThe two of them wonât have a chance to pass on messages to the outside world anymore!â
Peter was startled, âHow come?â
No sooner had he spoken than the butler strode in. âMiss, representatives from the authorities have arrived!â
Susan immediately became alert and looked at Keira. âYou called the police? But even if they arrest me, Fox wonât spare you! Just wait. Your father is going to die!â
Keira looked down. âLet me remind you, this is Crera!â
Susan narrowed her eyes. âSo what?â
âIn Crera, everyone must abide by the law, including Fox! Thatâs also why she didnât dare to kill people with her own hands, even when plotting against Naraâs family. Instead, she lured Garyâs mother. She dared not leave behind any evidence of murder because murder leads to prison! Iâm not sure what the South family trained me and Fox for, but if she goes to prison, Fox would lose, wouldnât she?â
Keira enunciated each word, making Susanâs pupils shrink.
Keira knew she had struck a chord and smiled. âIf murder was permitted, Fox could have simply killed all obstacles. Thereâs no need for her to go through such trouble. Therefore, Susan, Iâll ensure that you and Fox reunite in a Crera prison!â
As soon as she finished speaking, two people suddenly appeared in the doorway.
The two individuals who came over were from a special law enforcement department belonging to the Clance security office. Susan and Fox were involved in international cases, which required that departmentâs involvement.
Holly was one of the responsible officers who had come over.
Back in Oceanion, after Keiraâs death, she had been in deep pain, unable to continue with anything at that sad place. Seeing her condition, her parents had her transferred over to Clance.
Holly looked at the ostentatious mansion before her, feeling completely unfazed inside.
Her best friend was deadâŠ
That thought numbed her.
The amount of pain had paralyzed her.
âThatâs a coping mechanism,â Holly thought, while her colleague couldnât help but complain, âWith such a mansion, they must be rich. These kinds of families are most likely to cause fatalities. Be careful later; donât say the wrong thing and offend them.â
Holly gave no reaction to her colleagueâs comments.
After all, she would only act according to the law.
With these thoughts, they entered the living room.
And there, upon seeing the person Holly had thought of day and night, she was instantly stunned.
