It was heard that Zuri Ginger left with him, thinking she was in a bad mood and being petty.
Only two hours passed, and everyone was busy, so naturally, no one looked for her.
But seeing it was past ten and her phone still couldn’t be reached, it inevitably caused concern.
It’s always dangerous for a girl to go out with someone when she is in a bad mood.
Aiden Jiang left Mason Sutton behind, preparing to call the police.
Zuri Ginger happened to come back.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, she turned her head towards the outside of the house again, obviously unpleasant.
Zuri Ginger was truly in disarray, standing still, stuttering, not daring to turn back.
Charlotte Chester suddenly approached her.
Seeing her clearly, she was struck heavily.
Then, with a resounding "slap", a loud slap landed directly.
Zuri Ginger fell to the ground in response.
"What are you doing!"
Aiden Jiang and Bob Ginger were shocked, standing up simultaneously.
Charlotte Chester pointed at Zuri Ginger, her fingers trembling, unable to speak for a long time.
"Since the young lady has safely returned home, I shall take my leave first." Mason Sutton quickly spoke up, regaining his composure.
As an outsider, he naturally felt embarrassed to interfere in his superior’s family matter.
Listening or watching too much isn’t right.
"Alright then," Aiden Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, looking at him with a forced smile, "Hurry back, it’s wrong to waste your time ."
Mason Sutton finished his sentence, directly picked up his bag, and left the hall.
He didn’t look to either side, even when passing by Zuri Ginger, without stopping for even a second.
Once he left, the hall was suffocatingly silent.
Charlotte Chester couldn’t hold back any longer, pointing at Zuri Ginger and shouting, "Have you no shame? On your birthday! With so many guests watching! You went missing, tell me, what on earth happened?! What happened?!"
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"What’s going on here, why so excited!"
Bob Ginger and Aiden Jiang each said a sentence, quickly stepping in front of Zuri Ginger.
Mia Ginger was a step behind and also came forward.
Charlotte Chester and Mia Ginger didn’t speak either, the former was angrily unsettled, the latter was pensive.
Mia Ginger’s gaze was fixed on Zuri Ginger, unblinking.
Her eyes were dark and bright, like a peaceful spring, calm, serene, open, and clear, as if they could cleanse all dirt.
This must be the outcome, isn’t it?
If she hadn’t been vigilant all the time, this is what would have happened!
Zuri Ginger actually resorted to such filthy and despicable actions as drugging.
What was she originally planning to do?
To humiliate her publicly, ruin her reputation?
Or did she hope that when her mind was scattered, her reputation would be destroyed, unable to lift her head up anymore?!
Truly a vicious heart!
Zuri Ginger’s current predicament is entirely her own doing, self-inflicted.
Mia Ginger’s hand hanging at her side clenched silently, saying nothing, just stared at Zuri Ginger unwaveringly.
Just like Zuri Ginger once imagined watching her, innocent yet coldly regarding her, savoring her misery and debilitation, expressionless on the face, dismissively in the heart.
No wonder she always tried every means to see her humiliated!
Enjoying an enemy’s failure is so amusing, so satisfying!
Zuri Ginger, however, was already too preoccupied to think about framing anyone else. At this time, mentioning drugging was certainly not an option; once Aiden Jiang investigated, she couldn’t be detached.
She quickly assessed the situation, suddenly burst into tears, sat up, held tightly onto Charlotte Chester’s leg, and cried bitterly: "Mom, help me. What should I do? It’s my fault, I believed Edward Davis’s words. Seeing the banquet hadn’t formally started, I followed him out to get some air. But I, but I..."
Zuri Ginger sobbed, "I didn’t expect him to give me water that had problems, he..."
