Chapter 281
“Mary, I need a favor from you for my divorce.”

Once Mary read this message, her eyes brightened, and she immediately put aside her intention to block the sender, eagerly replying. “What favor?”
“Howard has been wanting to work with your company. Can you give the project to him?”
The breath that Mary had been taking smoothly suddenly became erratic!
Her eyes reddened with anger.
Was Keera thinking of her as a fool?
In fact, with just one word from her, she could give Howard the money. She didn’t even care about the profit from that project.
But why did Keera have to deceive her with such
tricks?
Mary’s fingers trembled with anger, and she started typing. “Keera, you’ve deeply disappointed me! I’m cutting ties with you!!”

After she composed the message and was about to send it, she saw that Keera had sent another message. “Then put a higher amount for the penalty in the contract, ten times is best. If the project fails, initiate the recovery of the penalty and sue the company. By then, Howard, not wanting to be implicated, will definitely leave the company, house, and Amy all to
me.”
Mary was dumbfounded.
She immediately deleted what she had sent and resentfully composed a new one. “Princess, your knight is ready and waiting. smiling_face.jpg”
Amy had already fallen asleep.
After sending that series of messages to Mary, Keira saw that Mary had withdrawn a message.
She asked, “What did you just send?”
Mary replied in a second. “Nothing. I sent it by mistake. I promise it’s nothing bad.”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
She shook her head and set the mobile phone aside.
Her divorce plan was just like the messages she sent Mary. She could have asked Samuel to handle it, but that would always leave traces.
Within Keera’s circle of friends, only Mary’s help would be the least conspicuous.
Next, all she needed to do was play the role of an idiot who was calm and patient despite her husband’s infidelity and mother-in-law’s abuse, focused only on her family!
With a smile tugging at her lips, she turned over and silently went to sleep.
The next morning.
After getting up, she took Amy to the early learning class and then took a taxi to Howard’s office… no, th should be Keera’s company, Keera South Technology Co., Ltd.
The company rented a small office in a building, with about ten employees inside.
When she arrived, Mary was already waiting for her in front of the building in her sports car, dressed in elegant designer clothes.

Upon seeing Keira, she immediately curved her lips
into a smile. “Keera, how do I look today? I hope I’m not embarrassing you with this outfit?”
Keira replied with a thumbs-up and a smile.
The two entered the building together and approached
Howard’s office.
Before they could open the door, they heard embarrassing noises coming from inside.
Keira’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Howard’s lover, Cindy, was his secretary, and the two of them had hooked up in the office. Right now, they were on the sofa, shamelessly canoodling.
Cindy’s skirt was hiked up to her waist.
Howard’s pants were also down to his knees…
The moment Keira opened the door, she saw Cindy’s bare back…
Startled by the sound, they both jumped and hurriedly dressed. Howard turned furious upon seeing Keira. “Keera, who let you in?!”
Cindy also had no shame at being caught in the act.

After getting dressed, she took a look at Keira and said with a mix of sarcasm and mockery, “Madam, don’t be angry. It’s not what you’re thinking between Mr. Smith
and me…”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
She wasn’t blind!
Seeing her silence, Cindy went on. “It’s all my fault. I seduced Mr. Smith. Don’t blame him…”
As Cindy spoke, she glanced at Keira but saw that the woman’s expression remained unchanged, showing no hint of pleasure or anger.
She was suddenly at a loss for words.
Wasn’t this the moment for Keera to slap her?
However, if Keera didn’t slap her, she would take
matters into her own hands..
Cindy reached out her hand and slapped herself before looking up with teary eyes. “Ma’am, I realize my mistake… please don’t look at me like that…”
Howard, though, had already charged over and pushed Keira aside. He held Cindy and said angrily, “Keera,
what are you doing? She’s carrying my child. If

anything happens, I won’t let you off the hook!”

…
Keira silently watched them, feeling beyond words.
What had she done?
That little schemer had been talking the whole time, and she hadn’t said a word.
She twitched the corner of her mouth, lowered her head to hide the mockery in her eyes, and spoke in a soft, weak voice. “Howard, I’m here because Mary wants to collaborate with our company…”
At these words, Howard finally noticed Mary standing behind Keera, and he was momentarily taken aback.
Mary was glaring at him, wanting to scold him, but fearing she might mess up Keera’s plan, so she threw contract at him. “Stamp it and sign it!”
Howard immediately took the contract with a smile on his face. “Miss Davis, you and Keera have reconciled?” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
He glanced at the contents of the contract; it was for a new energy cooperation research and development project.

Their company’s research personnel had to provide research results for Mary’s company in one month. If they failed to complete it on time, they had to pay a penalty of ten times the amount, about twenty million.
This clause was deliberately made as an invisible condition, which non-professionals wouldn’t be able to
discern.
Howard glanced over it casually and delightedly signed his name with the company’s seal.
Then he grinned. “Miss Davis, you should come over to the house more often. Keera, really, how could you block Miss Davis over such a trivial matter? You’ve been good friends for so many years…”
Mary snorted but didn’t speak.
Keira looked at Howard; hesitating to speak. “… You haven’t come home in several days, and Amy misses her daddy.”
Howard immediately laughed. “I’ll come home tonight to have dinner with Amy. Alright, you can go now!”
Keira gave Cindy a “triumphant” look, then “reluctantly” left with Mary.

Once she left, Cindy started to get unhappy. “Aren’t you staying with me tonight?”
Howard said bluntly, “I was just appeasing her in front of Mary. Can’t you tell? I haven’t been home for a few days, and Keera is already thinking of ways to please me… With the Davis family’s collaboration, our company can make a few million a year!”
Cindy then became happy. “I knew it. You’re the best…”
“Of course…”
Howard touched her waist, his eyes gradually
becoming lecherous. “They’ve left, shall we continue?”
Mary, on her way downstairs, couldn’t help but want to vomit. “That was disgusting! Is he really going home tonight?”
“He won’t.”
Keira replied.
