Murder?
Marianne Jackson jumped with shock, her body jerking upright, "Zuri... Zuri Ginger."
She stuttered, unable to complete a sentence, swallowing hard, eyes wide open, clearly extremely frightened, almost entertaining Zuri Ginger.
Zuri Ginger couldn’t help but laugh, "I’m just joking."
"You seem to have changed." Marianne Jackson pressed her lips together and whispered.
Zuri Ginger’s lips drooped, "Being locked up in a place like this, how could it not change you?"
"Are you not doing well inside?"
"..." Zuri Ginger glanced up at her.
Marianne Jackson realized she said something wrong again, looked at her apologetically, and said in a low voice, "I’m really sorry, I can’t help you. You know, I don’t have a say at home, especially when it concerns Mia Ginger, no one listens to me at all."
"I understand, I’m being toyed by her as well, not to mention you." Zuri Ginger said indifferently.
Marianne Jackson was silent for a while, then remembered what she said earlier, hesitated, "The first point you mentioned earlier, why?"
"What?"
Marianne Jackson awkwardly smiled.
"Oh." Zuri Ginger explained absentmindedly, "It’s simple. Louis Cox definitely has to take responsibility. Once your grandfather knows about it, there’s no turning back, if you don’t marry him, who else could you marry? Once you’re wed, feelings will naturally develop."
"But I’m not old enough to get married now."
Zuri Ginger: "..."
She couldn’t help but think Marianne Jackson had a pig’s brain.
"If not marriage, engagement should be possible, right?" Zuri Ginger said to her, "Talk about marriage later."
"But I," Marianne Jackson said with difficulty, "He doesn’t seem pleased when he sees me. How could we possibly, do that?"
"There are many ways, even hallucinogens would work. If you expect him to want you while sober, that’s unlikely. I wasn’t joking earlier, the person in his heart is Mia Ginger, he’d do anything for her. Anyway, think it through, even if you two are together, he’ll never forget Mia Ginger, you’ll live in her shadow for the rest of your life..."
Zuri Ginger’s talk left Marianne Jackson extremely upset again.
She really couldn’t understand, what’s so great about Mia Ginger?
Just that she’s prettier, a bit fair-skinned, and now has a wealthy mom.
Her aloof brother likes her, and even Louis Cox, who usually looks unkind to women, likes her?
Marianne Jackson furrowed her brows, and distractedly walked out of the holding center.
She felt Zuri Ginger was right.
If she had a relationship with Louis Cox, he’d have no choice but to marry her.
If Mia Ginger died...
She thought for a moment about the second point and didn’t dare to think further.
Even given a hundred guts, she wouldn’t dare murder, not even mentioning others, she’d scare herself to death, even in broad daylight, Marianne Jackson broke out in a cold sweat.
While lost in thought, her phone suddenly rang.
Marianne Jackson pulled out her phone for a look; the screen displayed, "Mom."
She pressed her lips as she answered, softly calling, "Mom."
"Where are you?!" Lydia Williams’ tone didn’t sound very good.
Marianne Jackson replied in a low voice, "Just shopping outside."
"Which area?"
"Around Border District."
"If you’re done, hurry back." Lydia Williams warned her, "Consider this incident over, if there’s a next time, I won’t let you off."
