Chapter 440 Mr. Abbott Is Going to Become a Homeless Man
Susanna's eyes snapped open; she remembered.
That tattoo was the same as the one on Vivian's ankle!
Susanna shot up from the hospital bed, a cold glint in her eyes. Was it Vivian who attacked her all those years ago and pinned it on Wendy?
'No wonder when they checked the footage back then, Vivian showed up with Wendy tied up, claiming she caught the culprit! Vivian knew Wendy always had it out for me.' Susanna mused.
It didn't seem weird at the time, but looking back, wasn't it a bit too convenient?
Vivian was definitely in on it.
Susanna quickly pieced together the clues in her mind; she had to find out who hurt Maria and bring the real culprit to justice.
The next day, Susanna woke up.
Last night, she had been sorting through the clues and passed out.
Early in the morning, nurses and doctors came for rounds.
Two nurses were whispering, "I heard there's a hot homeless guy outside the hospital, injured and can't pay for medical bills, sleeping on a bench?"
"This morning when I got back to work, everyone was talking about a hot guy who couldn't afford medical bills. Just how hot is he?"
"Let me put it this way, you know the famous actor Justin, right? This guy's looks are on par with Justin's, and with his whole body covered in injuries, looking all rugged and mysterious, it adds a certain broken charm."
Hearing the nurses' gossip, Susanna guessed the hot guy they were talking about was Aaron.
After the doctors and nurses finished their rounds and left, Susanna immediately called Marcus to ask, "Marcus, is Aaron still at the hospital?"
"Yes, Ms. Jones."
Susanna was silent for a moment; she thought Aaron would've left after yesterday, but he was still here.
Marcus tentatively said, "Ms. Jones, should I arrange for someone to take Mr. Abbott to the airport?"
"Why are you in such a rush? Leave him be."
Since Susanna said this, Marcus didn't push it and changed the topic. "The Ashton family has already filed a lawsuit, and this time Mr. Daniel Jones is personally handling it. The Ashton family is bound to lose. Also, Mr. Edward Jones has started taking action against the Thornberry family. However, the Thornberry family is bragging about their collaboration with the Abbott family, claiming that once they partner with the Abbott family, they will embarrass the Jones family."
Susanna raised an eyebrow and said, "Are they really that clueless? If they saw Aaron looking like a bum on the first floor of the hospital, I wonder if they'd still be so cocky."
Hearing this, Susanna glanced at Marcus again and said, "Maybe you should send someone to take Aaron back. I really can't stand the Thornberry family's arrogance."
Only when Aaron went back could the true face of the Thornberry family's arrogance be revealed.
She couldn't wait to see the Thornberry family's embarrassed faces.
Marcus quickly went downstairs and came back to report. "Mr. Abbott said no to going to the airport."
"If he doesn't agree, then have someone knock him out and send him there!"
"But this is a hospital, with so many people watching. If something negative happens, it wouldn't be good for the hospital."
Susanna fell silent for a moment; Marcus did have a point.
At noon, Austin came to the hospital. "Susanna, I looked at the hospital's test results. You can be discharged at noon. As for the bump on your forehead, it will take some time to heal."
Susanna touched her forehead and winced, "The Thornberry family are gonna pay for this."
She almost got disfigured and ended up with a concussion.
She was dead set on making the Thornberry family grovel and beg for mercy.
"Don't worry about it; Edward's already on it. The Thornberry family will be bankrupt soon. And with Daniel on the Ashton case, Aiden's looking at jail time."
Susanna propped her chin on her hand and sighed, "I was planning to handle it myself, but with you guys stepping in, there's nothing left for me to do, huh?"
Honestly, dealing with them personally would be way more satisfying.
Having such powerful brothers often left her with no room to act because they would proactively solve all her problems.
Austin patted Susanna's head and said earnestly, "Susanna, you're our sister. We should handle these things for you. You just need to stay home and be a carefree little princess. No one can bully you; only you can bully others."
Susanna propped her chin on her hand, feeling that her family's pampering had no limits.
She wasn't spoiled; she was truly fortunate.
Austin reluctantly withdrew his hand and looked at her. "I heard the Thornberry family wants to collaborate with the Abbott Group to jointly deal with us?"
Susanna detected a hint of coldness in Austin's tone.
She coughed and said, "But I asked Aaron before, and he said he didn't know about this. It should be an individual action by the Abbott Group's Novaria branch. The collaboration between the branch and the Thornberry family is just on some small projects, nowhere near the level of dealing with the Jones family. In summary, the Thornberry family is exaggerating!"
"Why do you believe what Aaron said so much?"
"Austin, it's not that I believe Aaron, but the Thornberry family doesn't even know Aaron. When he was my bodyguard, he met people from the Thornberry family, and none of them recognized him. So, the Thornberry family's collaboration with the Abbott family is just talk."
After hearing this, Austin snorted coldly, "Even so, it's still a subsidiary of the Abbott Group; Aaron can't completely disassociate himself."
Anyway, it all involved the Abbott family, and Aaron had to be held accountable!
Hearing this, Susanna didn't know what to say.
Soon, Austin received a call from the hospital and then looked at her. "Susanna, I was planning to help you with the discharge procedures, but now I have a patient at the hospital. You can handle your discharge and go home; Aviana said she made something delicious for you."
"Austin, don't worry. I can handle my discharge myself. You go ahead."
After Austin left, Susanna had Marcus handle her discharge procedures. She didn't want to stay in the hospital any longer.
After changing her clothes, Susanna came down to the first floor of the hospital and noticed out of the corner of her eye that Aaron was surrounded by several girls.
She paused, surprised that Aaron was quite popular at the hospital.
One of the girls said to Aaron, "Handsome, if you agree to be my boyfriend, I'll pay for your medical expenses."
"Sir, you look so good. Have you considered becoming a model?"
"Sir, your video at the hospital was posted online, and you're already famous. So, why not become an actor? You can make a lot of money."
Aaron looked at the women in front of him, frowned, and said, "I'm not interested, and I don't need money."
"Sir, you're injured and can't even pay for your medical expenses, and you say you don't need money?"
"Yeah, Sir, here's my business card. Consider signing with our company to become a star. We'll make sure you have a house, a car, and money."
Aaron was getting annoyed by the crowd and stood up to leave, but they surrounded him, not letting him go.
"Excuse me, everyone, please move aside. He's with me."
