Chapter 82: Chapter 82 Can’t Afford You (2)

Zoey Leaf looked at Mia Ginger with a complex expression.

Meanwhile——

Koa Jackson had already walked up to Mia Ginger.

He stopped in front of her and glanced soothingly, first addressing Camilia Davis beside him, “Aunt, I’m Koa.”

He was tall, speaking as he slightly leaned forward and lowered his head to accommodate Camilia’s height. His eyes, deep and clear like a lake, remained calm and gentle, and his tone was polite and smooth, without any disdain or contempt, extremely courteous.

Despite this, Camilia still felt a bit uneasy and hurriedly said, “Hello.”

Koa Jackson showed a very faint smile, nodded, and then looked at the red-eyed Mia Ginger, his long, dark eyebrows slightly furrowed. He leaned in and whispered gently, “What’s going on? I just got off the plane.”

“Brother Jackson.” Mia Ginger’s voice was choked with sobs as soon as she spoke.

She seemed to be trying hard to suppress it, making her voice sound hoarse and dry, causing a pang of heartache.

“It’s okay.” Koa Jackson reached out to stroke her hair, comforting softly, “Let me greet Grandpa, and I’ll take you back.”

“It’s too late.” Mia Ginger suddenly looked up and said.

Koa Jackson was taken aback.

Mia Ginger released Camilia, stepped forward, and wrapped her arms around his waist, rubbing her flushed face against his chest. Her voice was ethereal, “Brother Jackson, it’s Mia Ginger who isn’t good enough, I can’t have you.”

Koa Jackson didn’t know what had happened but was still touched by her mournful and affectionate demeanor, reaching out to support her shoulder.

Mia Ginger dodged his hand and softly said, “Our engagement is off.”

She no longer looked at him and supported Camilia as she walked away.

Koa Jackson glanced over at the few people around the sofa from afar. He turned around and tightly grasped her wrist, his voice carrying an edge of severity, “What happened?”

Mia Ginger didn’t speak, lowered her head, and slowly pried his slender fingers open one by one, turning to walk towards the outside of the hall.

She silently passed Lilian Jackson who was holding her phone.

Step by step, her slim and frail figure left everyone’s line of sight, disappearing into the hall’s blinding, scorching sunlight.

Never to be seen again.

——

Koa Jackson stepped forward to the crowd.

He looked up at Old Master Jackson and asked, “Grandpa, what happened?”

Old Master Jackson, as if waking from a dream, sighed heavily.

Koa Jackson’s gaze shifted to the inscrutable face of Zane Jackson and said in a deep voice, “Can anyone tell me what just happened?”

His expression was cool, yet his presence was strong despite his junior status.

No one spoke.

After a moment, Aiden Jiang sighed heavily, his expression showing fatigue, as he said to the old master, “Girl Mia is stubborn, so let’s just forget about the wedding. I have things to do and need to go back.”

“Hey!”

Charlotte Chester still wanted to speak, but Aiden Jiang coldly pulled her away.

Koa Jackson glanced unintentionally at the coffee table.

His expression staggered for a moment, he bent down to pick up the identification sheet.

Upon seeing it clearly, even his long fingers trembled slightly, finally crumpling the whole sheet of paper into a ball, gripping it tightly in his hand, and said coldly with a sneer, “Who made her do this?”

“No one,” Lydia Williams hurriedly smiled and said, “The girl did it herself, no one forced her.”

“She did it herself?” Koa Jackson’s gaze was sharp as he stared at her, storm brewing in his clear and cold eyes, gritting his teeth as he spoke each word, “Which girl goes and does this for no reason?”

“She…” Lydia Williams was taken aback.

“So many people,” Koa Jackson pressed his hand against his forehead, took a deep breath, “to treat a girl like this, don’t you think it’s too much? Grandpa.”

“It wasn’t your grandpa’s intention…”

Zane Jackson hadn’t finished speaking when the old master, who hadn’t spoken for a while, suddenly reached for the card on the table and slapped it against Lydia Williams’s face.

“Dad, I…” Lydia Williams covered her face, tears suddenly falling.

“Dad!” Zane Jackson was also taken aback and quickly went over to help.

“Shut up!” The old master fiercely pushed his hand away and pointed at his nose angrily, “Look at what you’ve done! You forced a perfectly good child to kneel down with a thud, it makes this old man’s heart tremble!”

Koa Jackson’s face changed, his expression turned colder.

“Grandpa, please don’t be angry, Uncle Zane, he was just…” Lilian Jackson quickly walked over, gently comforting and persuading.

The old master suddenly turned to look at her, his sharp gaze made her subconsciously take a step back.

“You shut up too!” The old master pointed at her nose and said, “Who told you to go find Girl Mia? Huh! What were you going to her for? Who allowed you to insult her, this is simply outrageous, outrageous!”

The old master picked up the cane beside him and slammed it twice on the coffee table, yelling, “Do you all think I’m dead? Huh! I’m not dead yet, not…”

He was speaking when suddenly he gasped and collapsed onto the sofa.

“Dad!”

“Grandpa!”

The crowd around was shocked and quickly rushed over.
