As he spoke, Aiden Jiang froze abruptly.
For a long time, he still found it unbelievable and hesitantly said, "...You mean, Mia’s matter is..."
Charlotte Chester was also stunned, the teacup she barely held upright fell onto the coffee table with a "bang," spilling the scalding tea all over, yet she had no time to clean it up. She raised her eyes and looked at Koa Jackson in utter shock.
"That’s right." Koa Jackson said with a stern expression, nodding.
"How can this be possible?" Charlotte rubbed her hands, laughing, "Zuri didn’t even go to school today, she stayed at home! We planned to go to H Country tomorrow, tickets are already bought."
Koa Jackson glanced at her, too lazy to speak.
His gaze fell on Aiden Jiang.
Aiden Jiang somewhat understood his character; as soon as Koa spoke, he already believed seventy percent of it.
He took a deep breath and confirmed once more, "Are you sure it’s her?"
"The three men she bribed have already confessed and are currently in custody, and the school’s students have given statements. There are eyewitnesses and fingerprint evidence. Do you think I would come to the Ginger Family in the dead of night if I wasn’t sure?" Koa Jackson said coldly, "The school has already promised to expel Zuri Ginger, and they should call tomorrow. Since I’ve reported this to the police, I will stand up for Mia to the end. If the Ginger Family doesn’t accept her, she might as well disown this family."
Aiden Jiang’s face turned as black as coal. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovelfire.net
After a moment, he stood up in anger, paced back and forth a few steps, and shouted sharply towards the maid’s room, "Someone! Someone!"
Already, when he and Charlotte Chester came down, someone in the maid’s room had woken up.
The elderly Nanny Adams quickly came out and responded, "Sir, what do you need?"
"Go, go upstairs." Aiden Jiang’s fingers trembled as he pointed twice and instructed, "Go upstairs, bring Zuri Ginger down to me."
Nanny Adams quickly headed upstairs.
Koa Jackson turned his head and looked at Mia Ginger, then asked Sage, who just walked in, "Do you have an ice pack?"
"This..." Sage pursed her lips, "We don’t have that."
Koa Jackson nodded, "Bring any bottle over, and wring a wet towel."
Sage didn’t dare hesitate, quickly left.
Soon, she came back with a cold can.
Koa Jackson reached out to take it, hesitated for a moment, and said to Mia Ginger softly, "It’s a bit cold, bear with it for a moment."
"Hmm." Mia Ginger pretended she was going to take it.
Koa Jackson didn’t give it to her, still holding it himself, moved closer to her face, gently rolling the can back and forth on her cheek.
He turned his body slightly and lowered his eyes, showing no excessive expression on his face, but his actions were very gentle, nearly cautious, nurturing Mia Ginger as though she were a fragile child.
Aiden Jiang looked for a few seconds, extremely surprised.
How could he have thought these two were so close again without anyone knowing?
Especially Koa Jackson’s strong protective stance, it was shocking to him.
Charlotte Chester’s shock surpassed his.
She even forgot to sit down.
She stood by the coffee table with a dazed expression, pondering Koa Jackson’s actions inexplicably.
A sense of delight slowly welled up inside her.
She almost forgot about Zuri Ginger’s issue.
Aiden Jiang called her with a hint of displeasure.
Charlotte Chester snapped back to reality, instructed Sage to tidy up the table, and went back to make tea again.
