Chapter 117 A Good Thing for Her
Susanna saw them appearing, and she knew she couldn't leave for a while.
Anyway, the compensation money from the government will be deposited into Madison's bank card. It won't help even if they caused trouble again .
She texted Dick: [Dick, I met my foster parents, I'll be late coming over.]
At the engagement scene, after Dick saw this text, he frowned. He always felt that Susanna's family relationships were a bit complicated, especially foster parents, who were particularly difficult.
Dick started to imagine, 'In the future, if Susanna is with me, I must make her draw a clear line with her foster parents and aunt. She only needs to get along well with her biological brother.'
He didn't want to be asked for money by her foster parents.
Dick replied very considerately: [Okay, handle it quickly and come over, we're all waiting for you.]
After all, Miss Jones specifically required to see the designer at the engagement scene, and he had promised her. If Susanna didn't come, he would feel very embarrassed.
Dick immediately checked the details of the venue again, striving to leave a deep impression in front of Miss Jones. His business would definitely thrive in the future.
This was the engagement ceremony between the Miss of the Jones family and the heir of the Abbott family!
Soon, Erica also arrived at the destination. She looked at the romantic and beautiful layout of the wedding scene, which was exactly the engagement scene of her dreams.
Although Susanna was annoying, the things she designed were quite nice.
Erica's lips slightly curved. "Where is the designer?"
She managed deliberately make Susanna witness her engagement with Aaron, to make her understand what a match made in heaven was!
After all, she was the Miss of the Jones family, while Susanna was just an orphan. How can she compare with her?
Dick tried to please. "Ms. Jones, Susanna has something to deal with and will be late."
Erica frowned instantly. "Does this the work attitude of your studio employees hold? As the designer of this wedding, can she actually be late? She left early yesterday, I didn't argue with her about it, and she's still late today?"
Erica thought, 'Could it be that Susanna is making excuses on purpose and doesn't want to come?'
Dick consoled."Ms. Jones, don't be angry. The thing is, Susanna is an orphan, but her foster parents are a bit difficult. I heard she just received compensation, so they came asking for money."
Erica's brows twitched. "Susanna gets that compensation?"
Didn't Elaine talk to the person in charge of issuing this money before, asking him to secretly give this money to her foster parents? According to Dick, how come the money still went to Susanna?
Dick answered in details. "Yes, there was a little incident, but the company owing the government debt was acquired by a large group. It happened to be your brother, Edward's company, Sliverpeak Innovations, that acquired the demolition company, so Susanna was able to get the compensation smoothly."
"You mean that Edward's group acquired the original real estate company?" Erica was perplexed.
"Yes, it's normal that you don't know about this, after all, it's common for large groups to acquire small companies."
But Erica felt something was off. Edward's group wouldn't just come and acquire a small real estate company in Lindwell so casually.
Last time when Susanna was falsely accused, that old man's group suddenly went bankrupt, and the maliciously acquired multinational corporation was Edward's Sliverpeak Innovations.
If one time was a coincidence, would two times still be a coincidence?
Erica pursed her lips. "Make sure Susanna comes to the wedding scene on time, otherwise I will deem your studio lacks professional ethics, and you need not to promote my engagement anymore."
Dick's expression changed slightly. "Ms. Jones, rest assured, I will make sure Susanna comes on time."
"That's good."
Erica said expressionlessly and turned to leave. If Susanna didn't attend the engagement ceremony today, her happiness would be greatly diminished.
Today, all her brothers would be present, and then Susanna would see the difference!
After walking a few steps, Erica said to her assistant, "Go and investigate why Edward suddenly acquired a small real estate company."
Her assistant thought for a moment and replied, "It should be just a coincidence. Mr. Jones is indeed planning to open a branch in Lindwell, and it's already in the progress."
Erica pondered for a moment, thinking that explanation seemed reasonable.
She still felt something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. It all seemed too coincidental.
Her assistant suggested, "Actually, this is a good thing for us. Since Susanna hasn't received the compensation yet, we can still intervene and prevent her from getting that money."
After hearing this, Erica showed a mocking smile. "You're right. I'll leave this matter to you."
She would never let Susanna live comfortably. It would be best if that despicable woman lived as a poor wretch for the rest of her life!
At that moment, Erica received a call and showed a delighted expression. "Edward, you're here? I'll come out to meet you right away."
After leaving the backyard, Erica went straight to the front gate, but a black luxury car drove in from outside, all the way to the outside of the villa.
Erica saw three men getting out of the car, and her excited expression couldn't be concealed at all. In fact, she rarely met her brothers.
She didn't expect all three of her brothers to show up for her engagement this time. They still treated her as a real sister, otherwise why would they come?
Tears welled up in Erica's eyes. "Edward, Arthur, Austin, I'm so glad you're here today for my most important day. Rest in the hall for a while first, the main wedding scene is in the small garden behind, we need to walk over there."
Edward nodded, walking into the hall and siting down, then asked his assistant to bring out some documents. "Erica, how did you consider the matter I mentioned to you before?"
Erica saw the document that read: [Termination of Adoption Agreement]
Suddenly, Erica's expression turned pale. She thought as long as she delayed, this matter would eventually be forgotten, after all, Maria still needed her to serve.
But she never expected Edward to directly bring out the paper document, with an unusually firm attitude.
Erica pleaded pitifully, "Edward, today is my engagement day, do you have to discuss this matter at this time?"
Erica had planned that she could make a trip back to Novaria when the engagement was over, to show her brothers that Charlotte can't do without her, then Edward won't force her to sign this.
Edward narrowed his eyes slightly. "Erica, I made it clear to you last night. If you're not satisfied with the compensation terms, you can bring it up."
Austin stared at Erica. "But you're going to marry Aaron and be his wife, you don't lack money, right? Edward has been good to you all these years!"
Erica forced a smile. "I know Edward has been good to me, so I've long considered myself part of the Jones family. Just because I'm getting married, you don't have to kick me out of the Jones family, right?"
She couldn't understand the reason.
Edward thought of his long-suffering younger sister Susanna, and he decided to terminate the adoption relationship with Erica. Otherwise, leaving Susanna to see them here would be hard to explain?
At least before Susanna knew everything, Erica had to leave the Jones family.
Edward handed the document to Erica. "Sign it."
Erica looked at it. "Edward, can you tell me why you suddenly want to terminate the adoption relationship?"
