CHAPTER 407: CHAPTER 417

Mia Ginger looked at him and suddenly remembered what she wanted to ask, hurriedly saying, "Brother Sutton, I want to ask you something."

"Hmm? Go ahead."

"About my friend’s case, do you remember it?"

Mason Sutton thought for a moment, "Yes, I remember. Is there any problem?"

"Have you met those three criminals? Did you notice anything unusual about them?" Mia furrowed her brows, thinking she shouldn’t be too obvious. Mason was too smart, and if she delved deeper, it might lead him to make associations and guesses.

Unexpectedly—

Mason explained warmly, "I haven’t seen those three people."

"You’re as busy as my dad." Mia said sullenly.

She suddenly realized she might have been bothering him too much.

A little embarrassed.

She ran her hand through her hair and apologized, "I seem to always trouble you."

"It’s no trouble."

Mason smiled, looking at her face as clean as a petal, and finally asked the question lingering in his mind.

He looked at Mia and softly said, "How have you been with your Brother Jackson lately? Planning to stay together during the vacation? Hmm... seems like things are going well."

His words were quite straightforward. Mia instinctively looked at him and suddenly blushed.

After a while, she pressed her lips together and nodded.

Seeing her blush spread to her ears, Mason smiled, "That’s great."

"Then I’ll go now," Mia told him.

"Hmm, be careful." Mason nodded, watching her as she stepped out of the car.

He stayed in the car without moving.

He withdrew his gaze only after she had left for a while.

With one hand on the steering wheel, he thought for a moment and then turned to rummage for a pack of cigarettes in the car.

He rolled down half the window and lit one for himself.

The heavy snow had just stopped yesterday, and the biting cold wind felt like blades on his face. Soon, he snapped out of his slightly melancholic mood.

Stubbed out the cigarette and drove away.

——

Mia wore a hat, mask, and gloves.

Slowly returned to the dormitory.

Windsor Myres was still there.

Seeing her enter, she casually apologized and sincerely criticized herself.

Mia was still thinking about Zoey Leaf’s matter. Knowing Windsor’s nature, she didn’t hold it against her. The two quickly reconciled, didn’t go out to eat, and ordered takeout to continue studying.

The nine-day examination soon passed.

The first day after the exams, Zuri Ginger’s case went to trial.

In the first trial, she was sentenced to four years in prison with a two-year suspension.

Watching her momentarily bleak expression in court, Mia finally felt a weight off her chest.

Yet she wasn’t very happy.

She was still thinking about Charlotte Chester’s issue and hadn’t told Aiden Jiang.

Naturally—

She didn’t want to return to the Ginger Family during the vacation.

The familiar environment reminded her of Zoey’s matter.

She declined Koa Jackson’s invitation to stay at Cloudy Capital.

Wanting a few quiet days to sort out her thoughts.

Koa Jackson walked beside her, noticing her slightly heavy expression, slightly surprised.

This—

This was already the second time this girl had rejected him.

A few days ago, during his grandfather’s 97th birthday, he thought it was the perfect opportunity to bring her back to the Jackson family and solidify their relationship, but Mia refused.

The reason was she had exams the next day and needed to study hard.

And now?

Koa Jackson thought for a moment and asked, "I’m worried about you living outside alone."
