My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

A Relative

Seeing this person, Ellis was stunned. “Director Porter? What brings you here?”

….

He was none other than the head of the New Energy Development Department at Olsen Group!

Director Porter seemed to have just noticed him. He stared in surprise for a moment, and then exclaimed, “Mr. Ellis, are you here also to compete for this project? That’s fantastic!”

Ellis was dumbfounded.

Brian scoffed. “Mr. Ellis looks down on our project, saying we’re deceiving people.”

Director Porter immediately became anxious. “Brian, is the project research outcome you just told me about on the phone fake?”

Brian said, “How could that be possible!”

“Then how could it be a deception?”

Director Porter was puzzled.

Brian handed over the project proposal to him. “Because Mr. Ellis said, there’s no project worth several hundred million!”

Director Porter was shocked.

He instantly opened the project proposal and after a few glances, he immediately looked toward Ellis. “Quick, Mr. Ellis, sign the contract!”

That was Davis Corporation’s territory – what if they didn’t secure the contract, and it got snatched away?!

Ellis was utterly confused.

Staring at the contract, he was flabbergasted!

Even Ken’s expression changed as he looked toward Brian.

Brian immediately explained, “Director Davis, do you think I would deceive you? Porter and I have always been in competition; surely Porter wouldn’t be deceiving you either, right? But Mr. Wayne just said that they would no longer cooperate with Keera Technology in the future, so for this project, we can only collaborate with Olsen Group now!”

After saying this, he felt incredibly satisfied, releasing a long-held resentment with relief.

To be honest, working in such a large corporation, with so many relatives of the Davis in the company weighing down on him, he had long felt frustrated.

Now, seeing the expressions on Wayne and Ken’s faces, he felt indescribably thrilled!

Ken furrowed his brows.

Ellis then voiced what he was feeling inside. “Is this project really that important?”

Director Porter immediately said, “Mr. Ellis, let me put it this way. Everyone is working on new energy. In the future, who makes money will depend on whose technology is in the leading position. I can say that, among the things currently circulating in the market, this project is definitely the most advanced in technology. At present, apart from Dr. South’s company, there’s no other company in the country that can develop it!”

He leaned in close to Ellis and spoke in a lowered voice. “Mr. Ellis, I see Keera Technology is just a small company, why not spend a few billion to acquire them? This way, the technology will be ours!”

Ellis was shocked.

He coughed slightly and exchanged glances with Ken.

The next moment…

Ellis and Ken simultaneously said to Keira,

“I offer three billion to acquire your company!”

“I offer two billion to acquire your company!”

Ken, offering one billion less, quickly added, “I can also offer three billion!”

There were rules in the industry.

That was, malicious bidding wasn’t possible, so Ken and Ellis wouldn’t engage in malicious competition here. The price offered was the same, so what came next was to see each one’s sincerity.

Brian watched the two of them, his eyes smiling as he looked at Keira, “Miss South, who do you want to sell to?”

Ken smiled. “Keera Technology, right? I know you’re Mary’s good friend. Although we had some unpleasant incident in our cooperation, just now, I’ve withdrawn your family’s lawsuit. How about that?”

The implication was, Ken had given her a break!

Ellis became anxious, saying, “That was only because of what I said, otherwise, how would you know about it? Uncle Davis, please don’t compete with me on this project!”

Here’s the revised and corrected version of the passage:

Ken still smiled warmly. “My dear Ellis, it’s not that I want to compete with you, but based on their recent conversation, it seems Miss South originally planned to work with us on this project, correct?”

Keira heard this and glanced at Wayne, whose face had already darkened. She smiled, saying, “That’s correct, but Mr. Wayne declined. He even stated he would never work with our company again in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Ken glared at Wayne. “His words don’t count; I have the final say, and besides, it’s all a misunderstanding.”

After he finished speaking, Ken turned to Brian.

“Brian, you’ve been with the company for over twenty years, and the company has treated you well, right? Now that you’ve found a new job, you can’t forget your old employer, can you? You’re familiar with Davis Corporation, and now that we’ve acquired it, won’t it be even more convenient to work together in the future?”

Brian simply smiled. “Director Davis, this matter still depends on Miss South. Actually, I don’t mind cooperating with anyone; I’m quite familiar with Porter too…”

“Right, right, right…” Director Porter nodded repeatedly while nudging Ellis. He didn’t have the courage to argue with Ken over the project.

Ellis twitched the corner of his mouth. He had come today to mock Keera and Mary, but now found himself in a position where he had to persuade Keera to secure the project. How quickly his status had changed!

He coughed, finding it difficult to admit his new position, especially considering his previous attitude towards Mary and Keera.

“Well, Keera, you have some connections with my uncle… Let’s partner up, and the price is negotiable!”

“The price on my side is also negotiable!” Both Ken and Ellis knew they couldn’t compete on price alone but needed to make a statement. If three billion wasn’t enough, they could add more money!

Ellis coughed again, preparing to speak, when Ken turned towards Mary. “Mary, Miss South is your best friend; you should come and help persuade her!”

Mary looked perplexed. What had happened? Just moments ago, she was relieved that Keera wouldn’t have to repay her massive debt, yet now she was being unexpectedly favored by her uncle.

Feeling overwhelmed by the sudden favor, Mary hesitated. “Ken, I…”

Keira interjected slowly. “Actually, if Mary were to lead this project, it wouldn’t be impossible…”

Ken understood immediately. “Of course, Mary will lead. You two are good friends; it’ll be easier that way…”

His tone was now affectionate…

Keira then turned to Director Brian. “But Director Brian, you’ve resigned. The person coordinating this project should at least be a director, right?”

Ken burst out laughing. “Well, Mary, since Director Brian has resigned and you’ve been with the company for two years now, you should be promoted to that position!”

Wayne’s expression changed. Mary was so young, yet she was now a director. From now on, he could never pressure Mary’s family again!

Keira was pleased. “Director Davis, shall we begin?”

Just as negotiations seemed about to succeed, Director Porter from Olsen Group grew frantic, urgently nudging Ellis.

Ellis snapped out of his thoughts and immediately interjected, prompting everyone to turn and look at him.

Ken smiled. “Dear Ellis, why not? We already have a partnership with Keera Technology, and Mary and Keera have their relationship…”

Ellis quickly retorted. “Keera, my uncle and you also have a close friendship…”

“What friendship compares to a childhood bestie?” Ken laughed triumphantly. “Right, Keera?”

Keira didn’t know what to say. She exchanged glances with Mary, who looked joyful.

Seeing this, Ellis became anxious. For the sake of the project, he blurted out, “Keera is even closer to our family! She’s my cousin!”
