Chapter 592
He was usually quite calm, but today, he was shocked twice in a row.
He slowly looked up at Mary in disbelief.
Mary said, "Yes, we\'re having twins, and the checkup shows it should be one boy and one girl."
Ellis was flabbergasted.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly stood up, wanting to reach out and touch Mary\'s belly, but he hesitated, swallowed, and cautiously looked at her abdomen. "Twins?"
"Yes."
"Mary, are you a fairy sent from heaven to save me?"
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 along...
A wave of jubilation swept through them.
But soon, they calmed down.
Mrs. Olsen looked at Mary. "Sweetheart, why didn\'t you tell us earlier? Ellis and I were both misled!"
Mary smiled and said, "At first, I didn\'t 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."
Upon hearing that, everyone\'s 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. "You 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 different..."
Mr. Olsen also nodded. "Then let\'s not announce it to the public. We\'ll just say she\'s not pregnant and that Ellis is physically unfit. Let him deal with those affairs."
Ellis couldn\'t help but smile bitterly. "That way, I might become a laughingstock in my circle."
Mrs. Olsen shot a glare at him. "What\'s more important, your ego or Mary and the children?"
Ellis didn\'t know what to say.
Mrs. Olsen then held Mary\'s hand. "Mary, you have to be careful."
Mary smiled at her. "Mom, I want to have ribs tonight. You won\'t stop me anymore, will you?"
This made Mrs. Olsen blush. "How could I? Of course not! I\'ll cook it for you myself! From now on, I\'ll prepare all your meals, and we\'ll just say we want you to lose weight..."
While the family of four was discussing, downstairs, Keira looked at Peter and Jenkins. "Don\'t announce the news of Mary\'s pregnancy. Understood?"
Peter and Jenkins immediately nodded. "Understood."
Peter then frowned and looked at Susan and her brother. "Keera, you shouldn\'t have revealed your identity in front of them..."
"It\'s okay."
Keira slowly crouched down, looking at Susan. "The two of them won\'t have a chance to pass on messages to the outside world anymore!"
Peter was startled, "How come?"
No sooner had he spoken than the butler strode in. "Miss, representatives from the authorities have arrived!"
Susan immediately became alert and looked at Keira. "You called the police? But even if they arrest me, Fox won\'t spare you! Just wait. Your father is going to die!"
Keira looked down. "Let me remind you, this is Crera!"
Susan narrowed her eyes. "So what?"
"In Crera, everyone must abide by the law, including Fox! That\'s also why she didn\'t dare to kill people with her own hands, even when plotting against Nara\'s family. Instead, she lured Gary\'s mother. She dared not leave behind any evidence of murder because murder leads to prison! I\'m not sure what the South family trained me and Fox for, but if she goes to prison, Fox would lose, wouldn\'t she?"
Keira enunciated each word, making Susan\'s pupils shrink.
Keira knew she had struck a chord and smiled. "If murder was permitted, Fox could have simply killed all obstacles. There\'s no need for her to go through such trouble. Therefore, Susan, I\'ll ensure that you and Fox reunite in a Crera prison!"
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 department\'s involvement.
Holly was one of the responsible officers who had come over.
Back in Oceanion, after Keira\'s 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 dead...
That thought numbed her.
The amount of pain had paralyzed her.
"That\'s a coping mechanism," Holly thought, while her colleague couldn\'t help but complain, "With such a mansion, they must be rich. These kinds of families are most likely to cause fatalities. Be careful later; don\'t say the wrong thing and offend them."
Holly gave no reaction to her colleague\'s comments.
After all, she would only act according to the law. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
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.
