Marianne Jackson looked up at her, her expression slightly changed as she bit her lip.
Mia Ginger had been abroad for two years, even during summer and winter holidays when she returned, they had limited time to meet.
Now—
Old Master Jackson loved her more, but she disliked her even more.
Most likely because of Zuri Ginger.
Zuri Ginger was sentenced to four years, and her life in prison was naturally difficult. Marianne basically visited her every month.
She tried to seduce Louis Cox, but it didn’t work. Not only did it fail, but in the end, Louis sent her directly back to the Jackson Family.
Old Master Jackson was naturally furious, Lydia Williams even slapped her twice on the spot.
Her status in the Jackson Family fell drastically.
Can she not dislike Mia?
Mia Ginger was only the granddaughter-in-law, yet she had Koa Jackson’s affection, Old Master’s love, and Louis’s favor. As for Marianne, she was clearly Old Master Jackson’s biological granddaughter, the only lady of the Jackson Family’s generation, yet she was not favored at all.
Especially since Mia Ginger was so hypocritical.
Koa Jackson looked at her, his expression calm and silent.
Mia Ginger then sat on a single sofa in front of Old Master Jackson, smiling and coaxing, "Don’t be angry, Marianne and Zuri were friends originally, it’s normal for her to visit occasionally. She’s only just turned twenty, don’t be too harsh on her."
"Even making friends requires good judgment, knowing which people to associate with and which not to. This girl has no sense. Being friends with a criminal, you tell me, can I not be angry?" Old Master Jackson said as he looked at Mia, furrowing his brow, full of dissatisfaction.
Beside—
Marianne Jackson was still biting her lip, looking at her, thinking that Zuri was right, Mia was extremely hypocritical.
Lydia Williams didn’t expect Mia Ginger to proactively speak for Marianne, her face smiling but her eyes filled with suspicion and vigilance.
Even Koa Jackson was somewhat surprised.
However, Mia had changed a lot after studying abroad for two years, becoming much more lively and cheerful.
Koa Jackson held Jax Jackson in his arms and sat on the sofa, Jax sat obediently, biting his small fists, being so well-behaved, which again made Lydia Williams feel displeased.
Mia Ginger looked up at Marianne Jackson, continuing to comfort Old Master Jackson, "Marianne is still young, even if you’re upset, you can talk to her slowly. Besides, having a true friend is a happy thing. Do you remember my good friend?"
"Which one?" Old Master Jackson furrowed his brow, thinking for a moment, hesitatingly asked, "The one who came to the house before?"
"Yes, she passed away two years ago," Mia said.
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
After all—
Mia Ginger had been in a car accident and later forgot some things, the Jacksons all knew.
But after recovering her memory, she went abroad, with limited time back in those two years. She hadn’t spoken with Koa Jackson, so no one brought it up.
Now, suddenly mentioning it naturally caught everyone off guard.
Lydia Williams was particularly uncomfortable, especially hearing Mia talk about Zoey Leaf, looking surprised.
Old Master Jackson was also surprised, "Passed away?"
"Yes, she was bullied to death by a few hooligans," Mia’s voice lowered, biting her lip she said, "I forgot about it before, but recently I’ve been dreaming about her often. I haven’t made such a good friend in recent years, Grandpa, do you think it’s day thoughts turning into night dreams?"
"..." Old Master Jackson thought for a moment, sighing, "Don’t dwell on the past."
"I understand," Mia said thoughtfully, "I just feel upset. I want to visit those criminals in prison."
