Chapter 1116: Chapter 1116: Should Have Been Abused
In the study, Jasmine Clarkson was sitting on the sofa reading a book when Charlotte Thompson walked in. Jasmine took off her glasses and nodded at her.
"Grandma," Charlotte said politely.
Jasmine put aside the book in her hand and gestured for Charlotte to come over.
"Grandma wanted to see you because of the Ross Family matter."
Charlotte, sitting beside Jasmine, was taken aback when she heard this.
"I heard you went to see that woman who appeared at the family banquet today. Did you find out anything?"
Charlotte shook her head. "Raina Richard was quite unstable, so I couldn’t get much from her, but I did notice some details."
"What kind of details?"
"She must have been abused before," Charlotte concluded upon recalling the scars on the woman’s arms.
Upon hearing this, Jasmine’s expression changed slightly.
"I’ve seen many scars on her arms that couldn’t have been caused recently. Some have even scarred over."
Charlotte recounted her visit to see Raina Richard in detail to Jasmine and shared her suspicions.
"If it wasn’t for some insurmountable difficulties, why would an ordinary person engage in surrogacy? This matter must be related to the Ross Family, so Justin plans to start investigating from the Ross Family’s side, perhaps uncovering something."
"That’s good, having a suspicion is enough. I just hope that Jack and Chad aren’t hurt."
Jasmine had come to Charlotte today to ask if she had any ideas on how to handle the situation. Now, having heard Charlotte’s thoughts, Jasmine felt relieved.
"I will definitely protect Jack and Chad," Charlotte answered without hesitation.
Jasmine and Charlotte chatted for a while longer before Charlotte left the study.
Standing at the doorway of the study, Charlotte took a deep breath, then went to prepare some juice for the children.
Meanwhile, the children had returned to their playroom and gathered around the computer, where the screen displayed news about Mia Carter.
"How could someone be so despicable?" Grace remarked upon seeing the news on the screen.
"Yes, her actions against godmother were really too much," Hank added quickly, nodding and then touching Cyrus’s arm,
"Big brother, can’t you dig up some dirt on her to expose online?"
"Indeed, we also want to get some revenge for godmother," Chad said, turning to look at Olivia next to him.
"I’ll start searching," Cyrus said calmly, his fingers already flying across the keyboard.
However, the media had already exposed quite a lot about Mia Carter, and Cyrus could only find some trivial matters.
At that moment, the door was gently knocked on, and when all the children turned their heads, they saw Charlotte enter with the juice.
They quickly blocked the computer screen.
"Mommy, what brings you here?" Grace asked with a giggly wink.
"You were all asking for juice when I came back earlier, so Mommy brought it to you."
Charlotte walked forward and set the tray down on the side, noticing all the children standing together, which made her somewhat puzzled.
"What happened? Why are you all standing there? Come over and drink your juice."
Usually, they would have rushed over immediately at the sight of juice, but now the children just stood still.
