Chapter 482 Aaron Came Back

"Moreover, if you truly felt that it didn't matter to you whether Morris Group was destroyed or not, why go through all the trouble of staging today's drama?"

I looked into Maria's eyes until her gaze involuntarily avoided me because of what I had just said

But people like her usually have a strong mouth, even if she initially showed signs of being speechless, she quickly refuted, "Even if I really care about Morris Group, 1f today's matter is exposed, it will definitely have a bigger impact on you than on me. In any case, I won't let you off easy!"

To be honest, the current Maria can no longer be described as malicious or repulsive. I simply perceive her as a mentally ill patient who lacks any logical reasoning. Under my disdainful gaze, she has become increasingly insane But I didn't really want to argue with her anymore

Because Maria just mentioned the journalist, I couldn't guarantee whether the lunatic had already submitted the so-called evidence to those people, so staying at Morris' mansion was very dangerous for me

If there were already reporters lurking nearby and I didn't return all night, it would undoubtedly provide those who spread rumors and cause trouble with solid evidence

In addition, I was also unwilling to continue

speaking ill of Maria

Although constantly refuting and mocking her was indeed satisfying for me, I still remembered Joe being there. In this situation, I think he would prefer to be alone or deal with the relationship between the mother and son on his own. It was a bit inappropriate for me to still be present

So I simply bypassed Maria's side and prepared to leave, but she had no intention of letting me go like that

I had just walked past her shoulder when she suddenly turned around and quickly grabbed my sleeve, then tightly held onto my wrist

"What? Do you think you can just walk away? Olive, don't think that you can take that ten percent stake and cleanly escape from this

situation. Now, I can give you two options

Either stay with Joe and turn those shares into yours and his, honorably. Or, you can sign the agreement right now and give back what doesn't belong to you!"

"What are you saying!" Joe interrupted his mother angrily, looking apologetically at me

"Olive, I'll have the driver take you back, we'll talk about 1t tomorrow."

He was about to come forward to separate me and Maria, but Maria's mind was filled with the ten percent of shares she couldn't get, thinking that her son's behavior was a betrayal to her. So she refused to listen to him and didn't want to hear more, as if I were just a chip, tightly gripping my wrist in her palm

I let out a slight cry of pain, and Joe's expression instantly changed. I didn't know if he felt more

sorry for me or more embarrassed by his mother's behavior, but either way, when Maria still refused to let go of me, he completely exploded

"Send the lady back to her room to rest, and she is not allowed to leave the room until I come back tomorrow!"

Joe pulled on his mother's sleeve while calling for the maid who had been too afraid to come up the stairs to come and take her away due to the argument

This family is indeed surnamed Morris. The servant, who usually obeys Maria's every command, immediately approaches when she sees the young master's unhappy expression, without asking for the reason, and advises Maria to leave with her head down

This time, Maria's face was completely stripped off. She gritted her teeth and forcefully let go of Joe's hand, then scolded the servant to go downstairs. When the servant didn't move, she even raised her hand and was about to slap the person's face

Although I often complain to Cinder that their upper-class society is really low-class, I have never heard of any family laying hands on their servants since entering the 21st century

The servant obviously didn't expect Maria to take action directly, and couldn't avoid it in time, narrowly escaping a solid slap

Luckily, I reacted quickly and instinctively reached out with my other hand to grab the servant, helping her avoid Maria's crazed attack

However, I slipped under my feet and suddenly stepped into nothingness, falling towards the

direction of the stairs

Joe saw that things were not going well and wanted to come over and grab me, but unfortunately, his attention had been focused entirely on Maria's hand. Even though he had the intention to help me now, the distance between us had already exceeded an arm's length

So I could only feel my body being pulled towards the ground by gravity, without even considering whether to curl up and let myself roll down the stairs in the next second, or to struggle a bit and see if I could grab onto the handrail of the stairs, avoiding this disaster that should not have been suffered by me

Just two seconds later, I found myself suddenly falling into a strong embrace that was supposed to land

The familiar scent of mint, the familiar breathing rhythm, and the familiar warm chest..

It was Aaron, Aaron had returned!
