Chapter 810
When Star screamed and fled from the Porter Manor, her face and neck were covered in scratches, and she was limping in pain.
That bitch Bianca had ordered the servants to pin her down and beat her.
Star would remember this grudge.
Star rushed out of the Porter Manor's gate, looking around, but she couldn't see any sign of Jackson.
The Price family's driver ran over, "Miss, what happened to you?"
Star glared at him with a vicious look, "What, do you dare to mock me too?"
"No, I wouldn't dare." The driver knew her temper wasn't good and immediately lowered his head and stammered.
Star tidied her hair and asked, "Where's Jackson? Did you see him?"
"Mr. Frane and Mr. Flores's cars just left directly."
Hearing the driver's reply, Star wasn't happy that Jackson had left without causing her trouble; instead, she felt a bit uneasy.
But thinking about how Jackson had come to the Porter Manor and personally had Oscar send Bianca away, Star still held onto a sliver of hope.
She thought Jackson probably still cared about their past relationship and might just let her off this time.
After all, it was Bianca who did all those things. Now that Bianca had been punished, hadn't she?
Thinking this, Star felt somewhat relieved. She got into the car and took out a mirror to tend to the small wounds on her face.
She didn't want any scars; she still wanted to marry into the Frane family and become Mrs. Frane.
Worried about her face, Star took a detour to a beauty clinic to carefully treat her wounds before going home.
But as soon as she stepped through the door, a cup was hurled at her.
Star didn't react in time, and her forehead was hit, with warm blood flowing down her cheek.
Her vision went black, and she clutched her wound, staring blankly at the sofa.
Meeting Dominic's gloomy eyes, Star shivered.
"Dad, what did I do wrong to make you so angry?"
Star walked over, holding her forehead, and stood obediently in front of Dominic.
Dominic asked grimly, "Why am I angry? Don't you know what stupid thing you did?"
Star's forehead throbbed with pain, but she didn't dare to retort.
"I really don't know, Dad, please calm down."
"How can I calm down! Jackson just called off three collaborations with the Price Group, with estimated losses of no less than a billion. What on earth did you do!"
Dominic was furious, and Star felt a chill in her heart.
She had thought Jackson wouldn't hold it against her and would let her off this time.
It turned out he had directly taken action against the Price Group.
Star's already teary eyes filled with tears again.
"Dad, I really didn't do anything. It was all Bianca. She spread some videos and photos of me and Jackson, and even publicized how I saved Jackson back then. That's all."
Dominic shouted angrily, "If it was all Bianca, why would Jackson hold it against the Price family?"
Star felt wronged, tears streaming down her face.
"I thought even if Jackson found out about the rumors, he would only find out that Bianca did everything and would only punish Bianca. But I didn't expect Jackson to have no trust in me at all, not believing I was innocent, and kept pressing Bianca. And that fool Bianca, seeing the situation turn bad, betrayed me."
"Useless! If you do something, either don't do it or do it cleanly without leaving any evidence!"
Dominic picked up an ashtray from the table and threw it.
Star dodged, and the ashtray hit the TV screen, cracking it.
Star's face turned even paler, and she cried, "Dad, Lillian is back. You know, ever since Lillian lost her child, Jackson has been very cold to me. She's clinging to Jackson again. I really have no chance. What else can I do?"
Dominic frowned, his eyes full of disdain and contempt.
"You're really useless! You can't even keep a man, what a waste to have brought you back!"
Star lowered her head, blood seeping through her fingers pressed against her forehead wound, looking very miserable.
But even this didn't calm Dominic's anger. He closed his eyes and ordered in a deep voice.
"Take Star to the basement."
Hearing this, Star's expression changed drastically. She fell at Dominic's feet, hugging his leg.
"Dad, please don't lock me up. I know I was wrong. I didn't handle it well this time. I'll find a way. I'll beg Jackson, I'll apologize."
Dominic sneered, "Do you think he'll change his mind? If he had any mercy, he wouldn't have called off the collaborations with the Price Group without a word."
Jackson had suddenly called off two collaborations, and Dominic immediately called him.
But after more than ten calls, Jackson didn't answer.
He then called the CEO's office at Star Group, but the secretary made various excuses, and Jackson avoided him.
Dominic knew what it was like when a man was heartless.
Star couldn't possibly make Jackson change his mind by crying and begging.
With a look from Dominic, two bodyguards walked towards Star.
Star was full of panic. She clung tightly to Dominic's leg, anxiously saying.
"Dad, in a few days, it's Mike from the Green family's birthday. Jackson will definitely be there. I'll find a way then to make him change his mind!"
Her voice was trembling.
But her words made Dominic show a faint interest.
