Chapter 299: Chapter 305: Making the Decision for Her (9)
"Yes, yes," the Literature Department’s counselor who rushed over also hurriedly expressed, "Zuri and the others are already in their fourth year, not being in school is normal. She’s indeed not in the dorm now, and her performance has always been quite good..."
"I don’t care how she performs at school," Koa Jackson directly interrupted the counselor and said to Principal Reven, "My stance on this matter will not change. After the case is settled, the school must expel her."
"Of course, of course." Principal Reven directly stated, "We will never tolerate such a student."
Koa Jackson glanced at a few of the police officers and nodded, "We’ll stop here for today. I’ll leave a phone number, please notify me of any case developments as soon as possible."
"No problem, rest assured, rest assured." The police, having been mobilized late at night, hurriedly responded.
Thinking about how both the victim and the suspect have special identities, it was simply overwhelming.
He proactively saved Koa Jackson’s number.
——
He watched as the police took people away.
Several of the school’s leaders also let out a sigh of relief.
Alexander Miller personally escorted Windsor Myres and Camden River back to their dormitory.
Principal Reven and the remaining few looked at Koa Jackson, trying cautiously, "It’s past midnight already, Mia..."
Mia Ginger glanced at the principal, holding onto Koa Jackson’s arm without speaking.
Koa Jackson looked down at her with a calm voice, "She’s been frightened, she needs to take two days off to rest. I’ll take her home first."
Back to the Ginger Family?
Principal Reven was startled for a moment.
The incident happened suddenly, and Alexander Miller, concerned about Mia Ginger’s identity and the school’s reputation, and several leaders also wanted to suppress the matter as much as possible. Seeing Koa Jackson was there, they still hadn’t alarmed Mia’s parents.
This person!
Just now, he agreed to continue handling the matter tomorrow, and the principal thought there might be a turning point.
How can he be so hard-hearted?!
To know—
The one possibly committing the crime is clearly Mia’s sister.
A young woman with excellent conditions in every aspect, at the prime of her life, how could she be expected to endure three to five years in prison?
These words, Principal Reven certainly couldn’t say.
Looking at Koa Jackson’s stern profile, he nodded, "It’s the right thing to do."
"Well, I’ll take my leave."
Koa Jackson put his arm around Mia Ginger and left their sight directly.
The security chief and the head teacher, who hadn’t said a word for a long time, felt a bit uneasy inside, and they all looked at the principal, "Principal Reven, what do you think..."
"Do what’s needed, try to satisfy him."
"But... Zuri Ginger’s performance at school has always been excellent, and the college was preparing to recommend her for the graduate program..." The Literature Department counselor still couldn’t react fully, frowning, "How could she ruin her future like this?"
"If you’re asking me, who am I supposed to ask?" Principal Reven glanced at her without enthusiasm, "At this point, there’s no use saying more. If we can handle it quietly, that’s already the best. In my view, Zuri can’t avoid this jail disaster, consider other candidates for the graduate program recommendation."
"Yes." The counselor had no choice but to respond.
"It’s late, everyone go back to rest; let’s look into this tomorrow."
Principal Reven gave the order, not bothering to go home, and turned directly to rest in his office.
Meanwhile——
Koa Jackson had already taken Mia Ginger into the car.
He turned to fasten her seatbelt and was about to start the car.
"Brother Jackson," Mia Ginger looked at him and asked, "Are we going back to Cloudy Capital?"
"No," Koa Jackson stepped on the accelerator and said without looking back, "We’re going to your house."
"Now?"
It was already past midnight.
"Right now." Koa Jackson said coldly, "Shouldn’t we let your parents see what kind of daughter they’ve raised?"
"..."
Mia Ginger sensed his suppressed anger and said nothing.
Her heart warmed.
For the first time, it seemed that when something happened, she didn’t need to stand up and defend herself.
She didn’t need to do anything, not even say a word, and someone would take over entirely, handling it for her smoothly.
In such an open and honest way.
Everyone had to yield to him, taking his opinion as primary.
And he, prioritizing her.
This feeling is something she had never experienced before.
Mia Ginger looked out the car window, gently exhaled, and said nothing more.
Just being by his side, even with injuries on her face, she felt incredibly at ease.
——
The late autumn night was very quiet.
The city was still lit up with neon lights, but there were hardly any people on the streets.
There were also fewer cars.
At two in the morning, the two arrived at the Ginger Family home.
When Koa Jackson parked, he directly called Aiden Jiang, waking him and Charlotte Chester up.
By the time he and Mia entered, Aiden and Charlotte had already come downstairs.
The hall appeared spacious.
The lights were glaring.
When she looked up and saw Koa and Mia come in together, Charlotte’s eyes went wide.
The surprise in her expression probably surpassed the joy.
There was no trace of sleepiness left.
She didn’t stop to think about what the two of them coming back at this hour meant; she smiled and went to make tea.
Aiden Jiang’s expression remained usual, without showing the slightest displeasure he felt inside, and invited Koa Jackson to sit on the sofa.
He looked up at Mia, his expression slightly confused, and changed his tact, "How did you get hurt on your face?"
"She was bullied at school." Koa Jackson said calmly, "It was accidentally discovered by two students."
"What!" Aiden Jiang was shocked.
Charlotte Chester, who was bringing tea, hadn’t even put it down, and it splashed on her hand.
Koa Jackson looked up at the two, and a light sneer crossed his lips, "Uncle Ginger’s raising of a daughter is truly an eye-opener."
"..." Aiden Jiang’s face darkened, "Koa, what do you mean by that?"
"Where’s Zuri?" Koa Jackson changed his tone.
"Zuri is asleep upstairs." Charlotte Chester responded instinctively.
"Oh?" Koa Jackson crossed his legs, looking at Aiden Jiang, and with his confused and patient gaze, he said with a faint mocking smile, "She can sleep peacefully despite arranging for her sister’s kidnapping? Truly at ease."
