Chapter 302: Chapter 308: Abandoned by All (3)
How could this happen?
She quickly switched her thoughts, involuntarily stepped back two steps, reaching Aiden Jiang’s side.
Aiden Jiang has always been fair, and without evidence, he would never listen to one side of the story. When it comes to right and wrong, he is always more trustworthy than Charlotte Chester.
Just like the incident with Edward Davis.
Charlotte Chester tried to persuade her to have an arranged marriage, but failed, giving her a hard time for quite a while.
On the surface, Aiden appeared helpless and indifferent, but secretly he orchestrated everything well, supporting many electronic enterprises besides Jack Davis Electronics, greatly impacting the thriving Davis Family’s business. He also took advantage of market reorganization during the National Day holiday to order several Davis Family stores to close for rectification.
And the result—
Jack Davis and Edward Davis personally came to apologize.
The attempt to bribe failed, and they ended up being directly thrown into detention for a while.
This back and forth damaged the Davis Family’s reputation, and their business suddenly plummeted.
Yet, her father remained completely uninvolved, as steady as Mount Tai.
Even—
From the beginning to the end, he didn’t reveal the slightest bit to her about this matter.
Had she not unexpectedly run into a drunken Edward Davis at the bar a few days ago, she might never have known about it.
Compared to Charlotte Chester, Aiden Jiang was clearly more trustworthy.
Thinking this, Zuri Ginger felt much more at ease.
Standing by Aiden Jiang’s side, she pursed her lips and said aggrievedly, "Dad, what on earth happened? Why did Dr. Jackson come so late to bully me?"
"You don’t know?" Aiden’s face was cold, and he asked in a deep voice.
"I..." Zuri looked innocent, "I was sleeping soundly and just came down."
"Ha." Koa Jackson suddenly sneered.
Aiden’s face became even more grim, and he suddenly stood up, shouting, "Sleeping soundly?! How can you sleep?!"
"Dad." Zuri looked at him in confusion.
"About Mia, do you dare say you don’t know?" Aiden pointed his finger at her, "Tell me the truth, does this have anything to do with you?!"
"I really don’t know what you’re talking about..."
Before Zuri could finish, a loud slap landed on her face, and she fell directly to the ground.
Shocked, she covered her face and cried out in pain.
As she cried, she said, "Dad, you hit me? You’ve never hit me all these years? What on earth have I done to make you so angry, I truly don’t understand. If it’s because of Mia, because she can’t tolerate me, just say the word. I have enough sense, I’ll leave, isn’t that enough?"
"Still not repenting on your deathbed?!" Aiden looked at her, his whole body trembling with rage.
"I really don’t understand." Zuri wept bitterly.
The sound of her crying startled Bob Ginger, who was sleeping upstairs, waking him immediately.
Bob, wearing a long nightgown, rubbed his eyes and came downstairs. Seeing the scene, he was thoroughly stunned.
Asked, "Dad, Mom, what’s going on?"
"Your sister’s good deed!" Aiden turned to look at him and said angrily.
"What happened?" Bob gave Zuri a strange look, then glanced at Koa Jackson and Mia, finally stopping in front of Charlotte Chester, frowning and asking, "Mom, what is going on? Making such a scene late at night, can’t anyone get some sleep?"
Charlotte whispered a few words in his ear.
Bob’s face changed drastically, and he immediately stood up, approaching Mia.
Her cheeks were still a bit swollen, finger marks on her neck hadn’t faded, and she was tightly wrapped in Koa Jackson’s jacket.
"Sis," Bob hesitated and called to her, "are you... alright?"
