Chapter 200 Home
Jepson Smith didn’t say anything, just looked at Suzy Carters.
Suzy Carters immediately understood what he meant and rolled her eyes. “Apart from me, you’re the only one left at home?”
“Yeah.”
“Are you going to the company again?”
“No.”
Now it was Suzy Carters’ turn to be puzzled. “Not going to the company? And no one is at home? Where did everyone go?”
Jepson Smith mysteriously said, “They went to deal with important matters.”
Suzy Carters gave him a look. “Speak human language.”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“I am speaking human language.” But upon receiving Suzy Carters’ murderous glare, Jepson Smith quickly changed his tone. “Okay, okay, it’s about the Carters family.”
“Carters family? Isn’t it over yet?”
Suddenly speechless, Jepson Smith couldn’t help but say, “Wow, you really want the Carters family to be done for, don’t you?”
“I don’t think so. It’s just that it’s been so many days, and Grandpa and the others have been stressed out about this matter. It’s really unfair to them.”
After hearing Suzy Carters’ words, Jepson Smith also felt he was overthinking it.
“Don’t worry, it’s almost over. The Carters family will be done for after today.”
But after hearing Jepson Smith’s words, Suzy Carters became even more curious. She wanted to go out, but he stopped her directly.
“Don’t make it difficult for me. Grandpa specifically instructed me before he left today not to let you out, or else he’ll hold me accountable,” Jepson Smith pleaded pitifully.
Seeing him like this, Suzy Carters couldn’t force her way out.
“So when will Grandpa and the others come back?”
“Um… probably in the afternoon.”
“Afternoon?” Suzy Carters exclaimed.
That was too long for her to wait, but seeing Jepson Smith’s pitiful look, she couldn’t refuse.
“Just in the afternoon, then. If they don’t come back by then, even if Grandpa blames you, I won’t care,” Suzy Carters threatened.
“Okay, okay, in the afternoon. I promise. Otherwise, I’ll go find them with you,” Jepson Smith promised.
Seeing his sincerity, Suzy Carters turned and went upstairs, leaving behind a relieved Jepson Smith.
Dealing with this little demon was quite satisfying for him.
In the afternoon, Suzy Carters hadn’t waited for the Smith family elders to return, but she saw news about the Carters family online.
A video was trending, and as soon as Suzy Carters clicked on it, she heard the voice of a reporter.
“According to reliable information and evidence, the major corporation Carters family in our city has been involved in multiple illegal activities, including attempted murder. The current leaders of the Carters family are the two brothers, Earl Carters and Rougeael Carters. Teresa Carters, who recently married a famous director, and the previously reported deceased Suzy Carters, are both targets of the Carters brothers’ attempted murder.”
“We are currently at the entrance of the Carters family group for confirmation.”
Then, the video showed Earl Carters and Rougeael Carters facing the media cameras, their faces not looking good.
“Mr. Carters, do you have any defense for the attempted murder charges against you two?”
“Mr. Carters, why did you want to kill Suzy Carters? Are the rumors online true?”
“Mr. Carters, with charges of attempted murder and collusion in multiple crimes, you two are likely to go to prison. Don’t you have anything to say?”
Perhaps being pressured by these reporters had gone too far. Rougeael Carters roared, “Shut up!”
Suzy Carters couldn’t help but sneer. His attitude would only give the media more room to play.
Sure enough.
The reporters in the video swarmed forward like bees.
“Are you getting angry out of embarrassment now?”
“Mr. Carters, by doing this, you will bankrupt the company. Why would you deliberately commit these crimes? Is it because Suzy Carters is not a biological Carters family member?”
“But you raised Suzy Carters for so many years. Don’t you have any feelings?”
The video abruptly stopped there. Suzy Carters didn’t need to think to know that those reporters must have been dealt with by Earl Carters and Rougeael Carters.
After watching this video, Suzy Carters felt one word-satisfied!
Actually, she didn’t need to think. With all the evidence presented, the Carters family was done for.
Knock, knock, knock-
“Wendy, Grandpa and the others are back,” Jepson Smith’s voice rang out.
Suzy Carters immediately stood up and walked out.
Before, she hadn’t felt much of the love from her family, but this time, Suzy Carters knew she would be the happiest woman in the world.
“They’re here.”
Downstairs, in the living room, Mr. Old Smith was sitting there. When he saw Suzy Carters coming, he immediately broke into a kindly smile.
“Wendy, come here to Grandpa.”
Suzy Carters walked directly to Mr. Old Smith’s side. Mr. Old Smith didn’t see the tears in Suzy Carters’ eyes until she got closer, and he was shocked, quickly standing up.
“What’s wrong, Wendy? Who bullied you? Was it this little brat? I’ll beat him up!” Mr. Old Smith said, ready to go after Jepson Smith. Jepson Smith nearly jumped up at the sight.
“It’s not his fault! I didn’t do anything!” But Mr. Old Smith didn’t believe it, and even Clifford Smith and Kerr Smith clenched their fists quietly.
Henric Smith was even more irritable, already standing in front of Jepson Smith with a raised fist, and behind Henric Smith were his eager-to-fight fourth and fifth uncles.
Seeing this, Suzy Carters quickly said, “He didn’t bully me.”
It was only this sentence that made the men of the Smith family stop.
“Really didn’t bully you?” Mr. Old Smith confirmed again.
Seeing Suzy Carters nodding firmly, Mr. Old Smith finally relaxed.
On the other side, Jepson Smith also relaxed, patting his chest and muttering with lingering fear, “That was close. Almost lost my flowering buttocks.”
This earned him a roll of the eyes from Clifford Smith.
Mr. Old Smith then looked at Suzy Carters with concern and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something that’s bothering you? Tell Grandpa, Grandpa will help you.”
Suzy Carters smiled at Mr. Old Smith. “Grandpa, I’m just too happy.”
“Huh?” Mr. Old Smith said puzzledly, “If you’re happy, why are you crying?”
“Because…” Suzy Carters trailed off.
Under everyone’s gaze, she slowly said, “Because I have a family now.”
Hearing Suzy Carters’ words, tears welled up in Mr. Old Smith’s eyes as well.
Suzy Carters was surprised and quickly said, “Grandpa, don’t cry.”
“Grandpa is happy too.” Mr. Old Smith’s voice trembled as he said, “If only Grandpa had found you earlier, you wouldn’t have suffered so much.”
Suzy Carters’ heart softened, and she smiled at Mr. Old Smith. “Grandpa, it’s never too late. I’m lucky.”
