Free Web NovelChapter 926: Chapter 953: Two Solutions (Second Update)(5)
"Why are you looking at her?" Gideon Jackson said, quite surprised, "Keep some distance from such people."
"I just want to talk to her. I have so much to say, but I don’t know who to talk to. It has nothing to do with her case, I just want her to accompany me for a chat. Help me, won’t you?"
Gideon Jackson laughed, "Why don’t you go to Sister Lilian?"
"I don’t want to talk to my family." Marianne Jackson said, sounding very aggrieved.
"What about your classmates? You mean you can’t talk to anyone but her?"
"It’s not even my mom." Marianne Jackson complained, "She won’t let me make friends with this person or that person. I’m really troubled by this; I hardly have any friends at school, and there are things I can’t even discuss with them."
Gideon Jackson sighed helplessly, "If you’re upset, you can go shopping to buy something. That’s not the kind of place you should go."
"Please, Brother Ridge, help me out just once. I just want to talk for a while, even ten minutes would be fine. It’s probably easy for you, just a couple of phone calls. If you don’t help me, I don’t know who else to turn to..."
Marianne Jackson pleaded with a long string of words. Gideon Jackson listened and felt like he had a headache, and said reluctantly, "Alright, alright, I’ll help you. But that’s agreed, just for a heart-to-heart talk."
"Okay." Marianne Jackson quickly promised.
"Then just wait a couple of minutes, I’ll have someone tell her." Gideon Jackson reminded.
"Thank you, Brother Ridge." Marianne Jackson hung up the phone, relieved.
After only three to five minutes, Gideon Jackson returned the call, telling her to go straight in.
Director Davis looked at her with a strange expression, had someone lead her to see Zuri Ginger, feeling a bit frustrated. But thinking through, since they said it’s just the young girl wanting to chat with her friend, it should be no harm.
The evidence for this case is conclusive, and they’ve got all the testimonies. Next steps are just following the normal procedure.
Young Master Jackson didn’t allow his sister to go in, surely for her own good.
But—
In these big rich families, these kids are brought up pampered, always love going against the grain. He couldn’t bother people multiple times with such matters.
Without this option, the girl could find someone else to ask, and he’d still have to agree.
Director Davis didn’t call Koa Jackson after all, focusing on his own work without worry.
——
Marianne Jackson waited for a while in the room.
Zuri Ginger was brought out, handcuffed, her face expressionless.
"Sister Zuri." Marianne Jackson wanted to cry seeing her, but she held back and sat on the bench, pursing her lips as she called her in a low voice, anxiously looking her up and down, "Did they bully you inside?"
"Why have you come to see me?" Zuri Ginger looked at her, her voice very soft.
Since she was detained in custody, only Koa Jackson had come to see her once at the beginning.
He had looked at her indifferently while talking to the director, never giving her a proper glance, as if she was a worthless ant.
She had come to understand that she couldn’t escape the disaster of prison, feeling completely hopeless. Being bullied inside frequently, over these days, she couldn’t find much interest in anything.
She wasn’t in the mood to deal with Marianne Jackson.
"I’ve been very troubled lately, not knowing who to talk to, so I wanted to come and see you." Marianne Jackson spoke softly.
Zuri Ginger looked at her in disbelief and couldn’t help but laugh.
Her laugh was strange, which made Marianne Jackson suddenly feel a bit scared. Realizing she had been too straightforward, the other person was in such a state, how could she have the mood to talk to her?
But she committed a crime, and a crime deserved punishment, there wasn’t anything Marianne could do to help.
Marianne Jackson sighed in distress, her voice low, "Should I not have come to bother you? Actually, I also wanted to see you, I know about what’s been happening with your family. Even if you’re dissatisfied, you shouldn’t have had Mia Ginger assaulted, then kidnapped."
"I had her kidnapped?" Zuri Ginger said through gritted teeth, "Why don’t you talk about what she did to me?"
Marianne Jackson was stunned.
"On that birthday party day, she schemed to let Edward Davis, that vile scum, ruin my purity. How can I not want to retaliate against her? Yes, I did find someone to try to kidnap her, but is she harmed? She’s completely fine, not only fine but also has Koa Jackson putting pressure on the school to have me expelled. It’s all a setup she created beforehand. She looks innocent and pure but is actually a bitch. Seducing Koa Jackson and Louis Cox at the same time, Koa Jackson helping her mess with me, and Louis Cox, don’t even mention him, I was pregnant and he still found multiple thugs to humiliate me, he should be chopped into pieces!" Zuri Ginger spoke through gritted teeth, each word spat out, leaving Marianne Jackson shocked.
It was a while before she regained her senses, stammering, "What are you saying again, Louis... Which Louis Cox?"
"The Louis Cox you know!" Zuri Ginger threw her a displeased look.
Marianne Jackson bit her lip, "How could he do such a thing for Mia Ginger, I don’t believe it."
"Believe it or not." Zuri Ginger said indifferently, seeing her expression, suddenly a thought flashed through her mind, hesitating she asked, "Don’t you have feelings for Louis Cox?"
Marianne Jackson had mentioned Louis Cox to her over the phone but never clearly expressed it.
But—
Remembering her tone then, Zuri Ginger couldn’t help but laugh, "Do you really have feelings for him?"
"I seem to have just fallen for him, I want to be with him, but my mom won’t allow it, and my grandpa also disapproves."
"Louis Cox doesn’t like you." Zuri Ginger added.
Marianne Jackson’s face changed suddenly, looked at her for a long time, distressed she said, "I don’t know how to make him like me."
Zuri Ginger bit her lip, leaning toward her, said, "Lean in."
"Hmm?" Marianne Jackson was startled, leaning slightly forward.
