Chapter 142 It's Just the Two of Us in Our Kindhearted Family!
Sarah stood frozen in place, her eyes shimmering with an unimaginable light.
Tears couldn't help but fill her eyes as she bit her lip and choked, "Mom! At a time like this, can you please stop favoring Aaron!?"
Karen raised her head stubbornly and said, "How am I favoring him? It's clearly because of your incapability in running the company well that all this has happened. Now that something's gone wrong, you're blaming Aaron. I know how outstanding my son is, and you have no right to say he's wrong! Moreover, did Aaron start the fire in your company's warehouse? Back then, were those cooperating partners satisfied with your company's performance? Wasn't it Aaron who arranged the appointment? So this whole situation has nothing to do with him. You should reflect on yourself if you have the time!"
Sarah was infuriated by these words, her chest heaving with anger. She knew that reasoning with Karen was futile. It wouldn't solve the crucial issue at hand. So instead of dwelling on it, she firmly grabbed Aaron by the wrist and said coldly, "Come with me to the hospital!"
Aaron was taken aback, "Why do we need to go to the hospital? It's almost dinnertime!"
Sarah replied, "You put Mr. Jaxon in the hospital, so it's only right and proper for you to apologize with me! How can you have the face to eat dinner?"
Aaron waved his hand and pushed Sarah away, wearing an unpleasant expression he said, "Why should I apologize? I haven't done anything wrong! If you want to go, go by yourself!"
Karen came over and pushed Sarah too, gritting her teeth and shouting, "Sarah, have you gone crazy? It was just a fight and nobody died. Do you really expect an apology? I'm ordering you now to get out. You sort it out yourself, and don't bother coming home until you do! Don't drag innocent people into this mess!"
With that, she gave Sarah another shove.
Sarah stumbled and nearly fell to the ground. Slowly raising her head, she looked at Karen and Aaron with a complicated gaze concealed by gloom. She remembered that Karen had threatened to persuade her to divorce Ryder yesterday, treating him as an outsider despite them being family. But what was happening now?
Was she supposed to bear all the responsibility out of selfishness?
Then what role was Sarah playing in this family?
Thinking about this, she felt nothing but disappointment, disappointment in herself. None of these so-called "family members" had any regard for her.
She turned and walked toward the door.
Just as Sarah reached the doorway, Karen said, "Let me tell you. No matter what happens, we must ensure Aaron keeps his position as the general manager! Even if the company goes under, you need to find a way to secure him a managerial job. He deserves it! Also, as his sister, don't just think about yourself. Don't forget that you will have to contribute to your brother's future marriage and buying a villa!"
"Hmph!" Sarah laughed mockingly, chose not to respond, and slammed the door shut before storming out.
The sound of the door closing startled Karen, making her tremble involuntarily. Grumbling, she said, "Things have been getting worse these past two years. If only I never gave birth to her!"
Turning to Aaron, she displayed an affectionate smile and said, "Son! Don't take her nonsensical words to heart. No matter what happens, I will always stand by your side!"
Aaron obediently nodded, sounding a bit coquettish, "Mom, can you give me some money to spend? Thirty thousand dollars will do. One of my classmates has leukemia and needs surgery tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll pay you back ten times once I make the money!"
"Oh, you don't need to say anything more. Anyway, I believe that you will definitely succeed in the future, and then you will definitely not forget me! Moreover, you are using the money for your classmates, this kindness is from me!"
Afterwards, Karen transferred another $30,000 to Aaron, who happily kissed her on the cheek and then ran back to the bedroom.
He immediately transferred the full $30,000 to his online friend Lighting without keeping a cent for himself, showing off once again.
Lighting accepted the money and praised Aaron for being amazing, and also sent a few beautiful selfies.
Aaron was overjoyed and rolled around on the bed.
At that moment, Ernest, who had been in the bathroom for half an hour, came out.
He glanced at Karen secretly and cautiously spoke, "I overheard everything just now, isn't it unfair to Sarah? After all..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Karen glared at him and said, "Who has the final say in this family?"
Ernest shrunk his neck and replied, "It's you!"
"If you know it's me, then shut your mouth. If you want to speak up for your girl, then have the guts to leave with her. Come back only when you have resolved the company's matters!" scolded Karen.
"I won't say anything anymore, okay?" Ernest whispered.
Karen coldly snorted and reprimanded, "Stop standing around here, you're annoying to look at! Hurry up and go to the kitchen to cook. Don't you know that our son is already hungry? I really don't know how you can be a father like this!"
After saying that, she turned on the TV and started watching a TV drama with great interest.
Ernest quietly went to the kitchen and started working.
Sarah cried with grievances as she drove down to Houston First Hospital.
Even if Aaron didn't go to apologize to Jaxon, as the CEO of the company, she had the responsibility to go!
Especially when she thought of what she had said in front of Ryder earlier, that she could definitely lead the company through the difficulties, but she never expected the situation to take such a drastic turn.
"Sarah! You can't be discouraged! You can do it, absolutely don't let others look down on you!" Sarah wiped away her tears and cheered herself up.
Twenty minutes later.
Sarah arrived at Houston First Hospital.
On the way there, she had bought several baskets of fruits from a fruit shop.
From what she gathered, Jaxon had been hit on the head by Aaron and had to get several stitches. He needed to stay in the hospital for a few days to recuperate.
However, when Sarah reached the door of the ward where Jaxon was, she saw that the chairs outside the ward were filled with construction workers.
Some of them simply leaned against the wall to sit down.
There were more than twenty people!
A middle-aged woman with red lipstick on her lips and a gold necklace, who had a plump figure, was talking on the phone while sitting on one of the chairs.
She was complaining and grumbling about something.
Sarah politely approached and asked, "Excuse me, is Mr. Jaxon inside?"
The middle-aged woman with her narrow, triangular eyes measured Sarah and asked, "Who are you?"
Sarah replied, "I am Sarah, the president of SR Group. I have come specifically to visit Mr. Jaxon and express my apologies."
As soon as she spoke, the plump middle-aged woman's face darkened. Simultaneously, the construction workers sitting around them all stood up, giving her hostile looks.
