Chapter 87 Brothers Secretly Escorting
Susanna felt his gaze and quickly moved her hand away.
She turned her head, wanting to walk past him.
However, Aaron took a step to the side, blocking her way, and looked down at her from a higher position. "Don't you have anything to say?"
Susanna looked up. "I think nothing to say."
"Another man, this one is so ordinary. Are you interested in him too?"
He spoke harshly.
Susanna's expression carried deep meaning as she replied, "The same to you."
He even liked Erica, a woman of low character; how was he competent to criticize her?
Aaron added, "Susanna, I didn't expect you to stir up trouble so many times now. You kept a low profile for three years before; you were really wrong."
Susanna retorted, "Speaking of which, I wanted to remind you to take care of your family. Now that we have agreed to divorce, tell your family, especially your cousin, not to come bother me like a mad dog."
Aaron squinted. "What do you mean?"
Susanna explained, "I have expressed exactly what I want. If it wasn't for Elaine's instigation, how would Allison dare to go against that older man? It's all because she thought she had Elaine as a backer but only found herself to be used and then heartlessly abandoned."
Susanna's eyes were mocking. "I endured silently for three years in the Abbott family before, but now I have no relationship with your Abbott family. Don't expect me to be like before, no way!"
Susanna said a lot in one breath, then walked around Aaron and left.
He stood in place, then took out his phone to call his assistant. "Investigate the recent contacts between Allison and Elaine."
Soon, the results of Assistant Lee's investigation came out. "Miss Elaine has indeed been in close contact with Allison since the International Symphony of Creativity. I also had someone inquire; when Allison was exposed, she always claims that the matter is related to Miss Elaine. However, those who bother her dare not offend the Abbott family, so they can only vent their anger on Allison."
Aaron's expression was complex. He had thought Susanna had lived comfortably in the Abbott family for three years, but he didn't expect so many things to happen that he was unaware of.
He didn't expect Elaine to dare to do such things. He immediately said coldly, "Go back to the Abbott family and have Elaine come see me. If she dares not to come, I'll cancel all her credit cards."
In the evening, Susanna returned home from the restaurant and received a call from Edward. "Susanna, Aviana and I have some time recently. We will come to Lindwell to see you."
After all, the recent events had caused quite a stir. Edward had been worried about Susanna's emotions, so he decided to come and see.
Susanna guessed why Edward was coming. "Edward, I'm actually fine; you don't need to come all the way to accompany me. I'm not a child anymore. You're busy with work; you can't afford to delay it."
Moreover, her brothers had helped her a lot this time, making her feel the support of having a family, which was enough for her.
"Anyway, I have a few days off these days; it won't affect my work." Edward insisted.
"Alright then."
Susanna heard that Edward was on vacation, so she didn't say anything more.
After Edward hung up the phone, he looked at his assistant with a cold expression. He asked, "How did the company's acquisition go?"
"Very smoothly."
Then Edward said, "Make them apologize to Susanna. Otherwise, I won't let them keep a single penny."
Edward's expression was cold. If this matter hadn't happened in Lindwell, where he couldn't interfere from Novaria, he would have made those people pay a heavy price.
After finishing his work, Edward turned to his wife, Aviana. "Darling, can we have Susanna come back to live in Novaria with us? Who would dare to bully her then?"
Aviana sighed. "But Susanna has always lived in Lindwell. If we bring her over, won't we have to be honest with her? Can you guarantee that she has fully accepted us?"
"Well, Erica has decided to marry Aaron so that she will live in Lindwell then. If we bring Susanna back to Novaria, there won't be any impact on her and Erica, who are so far apart. Besides, Erica, who is marrying into the wealthy Abbott family, replaces Susanna." Edward replied.
Edward seemed to have made a decision. "We will go to Lindwell this time to attend Erica's engagement, then let her talk about dissolving the adoption relationship. We can't have Susanna return to the Jones family but still have another girl replace her presence. It's not good for Susanna."
Aviana raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure Erica will agree to dissolve the adoption relationship?"
Erica came out of the orphanage and finally gained her current status and position. It would be difficult for an ordinary person to give up, and she had never really liked Erica.
Edward looked serious. "I can't let Susanna be wronged. Anyway, I will give Erica some property at that time. We can part ways amicably, and I won't mistreat her. After all, I haven't violated the agreement that I made with her."
The next day, Susanna went to the studio as usual.
Soon, two female colleagues came over, holding snacks in their hands. "Sorry, Susanna, we have misunderstood you before. Allison deceived us."
"Susanna, these are our apologies; we hope you can accept them."
Susanna also knew that Allison had instigated her colleagues. She accepted the gifts without making a fuss, knowing that she would continue to work with them in the future.
At this time, a receptionist at the front desk nervously walked in. "Susanna, someone is looking for you. It's the woman who confronted Allison last time."
The atmosphere in the studio changed again.
Susanna didn't expect that woman to come looking for her again. She thought, 'Could it be that Allison had spread more rumors?'
She stood up and walked out, seeing the daughter of that older man coming in, but this time, she seemed less arrogant and more weary.
Susanna spoke calmly, "Do you have anything?"
The next moment, the older man's daughter knelt in front of her with a sincere tone. "Miss Susanna, I was deceived by Allison and mistakenly thought that this matter was related to you. I offended you; please forgive me. I'm sorry!"
Susanna was startled by this sudden kneeling woman.
She quickly stepped back several steps, surprised. "What are you doing?"
Everyone present, just like Susanna, showed shocked expressions. After all, this arrogant woman was from a wealthy family, but she actually knelt to apologize to Susanna.
Soon, Dick learned about the situation and came out of the office, standing beside Susanna. "What's going on?"
"I have no idea." Susanna was also puzzled. This woman suddenly knelt to apologize; something must have happened that she was unaware of.
At that moment, Susanna's phone rang, and she saw a link sent by her best friend Flandre: [That disgusting older man's family has gone bankrupt and is currently being acquired. It deserves them right.]
Susanna was surprised. She thought, 'so this woman's company was being acquired? However, what did that have to do with her suddenly kneeling to apologize?'
