"What did you say?!" Charlotte Chester grabbed her wrist and demanded sharply.
"It was Edward Davis," Zuri Ginger was speaking, suddenly stood up, and dashed quickly towards the nearby cabinet.
"Sis!" Bob Ginger grabbed her, veins pulsing on his forehead, "Don’t, don’t do anything foolish, I... I’ll, Mom and Dad will definitely seek justice for you!"
"Beast, simply a beast!"
Aiden Jiang was so angry he could hardly think straight, pacing back and forth in the hall.
Zuri was persuaded by Bob, collapsed to the ground, with her head hanging down, mournfully crying, her voice filled with despair and helplessness.
Charlotte Chester was stunned too.
After a while, she came back to her senses and repeated again and again, "How dare he?! That Davis family’s son, how dare he? How could he dare?!"
"Things have come to this," Aiden Jiang was obviously too angry to think clearly, holding his forehead, "Hand it over to the police then."
Charlotte and Zuri shouted together.
"No, Dad, we can’t call the police, how would I face people if we call the police!"
"Exactly, this kind of thing can’t be reported, it’s too disgraceful," Charlotte Chester was frantic, "Besides... besides, the Davis family only has one son, how could they easily let their son confess, if things get blown out of proportion, won’t we be the ones suffering?"
"Then what do you suggest we do!" Aiden Jiang shouted angrily.
"How about, how about," Charlotte looked at Zuri, "settle privately, can we? It’s not uncommon to drink at a party, and things are hard to say, now that it’s come to this point, let Edward Davis marry Zuri?"
Jack Davis Electronics has been developing rapidly in the past two years, its business has also expanded into other industries, and it’s considered a rising star in the business world.
The chairman Jack Davis has only the one son, Edward Davis.
The assets will naturally all be inherited by him in the future.
Zuri is after all an adopted daughter, she has some fame over the years, but ultimately lacks confidence.
Mia Ginger hasn’t returned, she might barely marry into an old prestigious family.
But now with Mia Ginger back, if a marriage alliance is desired, the best candidate is naturally Mia Ginger.
No longer pure, there’s naturally no chance to marry into those families with strict family values.
Charlotte Chester quickly began to weigh the pros and cons of Zuri marrying into the Davis family.
Zuri was stunned for a moment, stood up with Bob’s support, waveringly looked at Aiden Jiang, tearfully said, "Marry him? I’d rather die, I don’t want it, Dad, Mom, I don’t want to reluctantly marry him ."
"Neither report to the police nor marry," Charlotte took a deep breath, looking at her, "What do you really want then? Say it!"
"Alright, alright, stop arguing!" Aiden Jiang waved his hand, looking at Charlotte Chester with reproach, "What kind of idea is that? Talking about marriage now! No marriage! What kind of life can you have marrying that beast?"
As the words fell, Aiden Jiang turned his head towards Zuri and said, "It’s so late now, first go upstairs to rest, you don’t want to report... don’t want to comply, then it’s up to you, it’s happened, you have to come to terms with it, seeking life or death achieves nothing, won’t you suffer in the end, let me think, this can’t just end ."
Zuri finally breathed a sigh of relief, aggrieved, "Thank you, Dad, for standing up for me."
"Alright, alright, go rest upstairs." Aiden Jiang waved his hand.
Zuri choked, walked with stumbling steps, supported by Bob, upstairs.
Mia Ginger took a deep breath, said to the furrowed-browed Aiden Jiang, "Dad, don’t worry too much, whatever it is, let’s talk tomorrow."
