CEO's Reborn Wife-Chapter 1958 - 1966: Three Days’ Time
"I am not accusing you of framing someone, my point is, there may be truths and misunderstandings we are unaware of in this matter. It wasn’t done by you, nor was it done by Jillian. If you and Jillian start fighting over this, won’t it benefit the one behind the scenes?"
Joseph Shaw said, "Give me some time, I will investigate, I promise to give you an explanation."
"You’ll investigate?" Rock Bell gazed at Joseph Shaw.
She knew that Jillian Carter was married to a military officer, but she didn’t expect him to be so protective of Jillian. Even at this point, he was still eager to clear Jillian’s name.
"Yes, I will investigate, because I believe this matter has nothing to do with Jillian." Joseph Shaw said, "I understand her character, if she did it, she would not deny it. However, if she didn’t do it, she shouldn’t be wronged."
Rock Bell raised her eyebrows and turned to look at Jane Sampson, using her gaze to inquire about Jane’s thoughts.
"Alright, you investigate." After thinking for a moment, Jane Sampson agreed, "I’ll give you three days. Since you believe Jillian didn’t do it, then let Jillian prove her innocence."
Speaking to this point, Jane Sampson looked at Father Carter and Old Sir Carter, took a step forward, and said in an unwavering voice, "In three days, if Jillian and Joseph Shaw cannot prove she is uninvolved in this matter, then Jillian must leave the Carter Family. Whenever the Carter Family publicly severs the adoption with Jillian, I will return to the Carter Family, and I will then truly call you daddy and grandpa."
Jane Sampson’s words were as clear as pearls, "At that time, there will be me and no her in the Carter Family, or her and no me. Even if it causes you difficulty, sorry, I will not back down an inch. No one can bully the family members I care about. The Black Family and every person in the Black Family are my bottom line." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Jane Sampson glanced at Jillian Carter, "I will not allow anyone, even verbally, to bully the Black Family and every person in it. The Black Family protected me for over 20 years. The people of the Black Family cherished me for over 20 years. I cannot repay the Black Family with one endless trouble after another."
This sentence was directed at Jillian Carter by Jane Sampson, "I am not you, because my family members are the ones I hold in my heart."
The entire house became silent immediately following Jane Sampson’s words.
No one spoke; everyone quietly watched Jane Sampson or looked at Jillian Carter.
After a full two minutes, Father Carter was the first to speak, nodding his head simultaneously.
"Alright, as you wish. If Jillian was the one responsible for the photo incident, then the Carter Family will sever the adoption relationship with her," Father Carter said.
"And we will also publicly disclose that Jillian is not a biological child of our Carter Family. If she truly did this, the Carter Family would welcome you back home cleanly and quietly for a reunion," Old Sir Carter concurred.
After Old Sir Carter finished speaking, he asked the other three, "Do you agree?"
Granny Carter was the first to nod, expressing her stance, "Agree, why disagree?"
James Carter finally withdrew his gaze from Jillian and nodded, agreeing with a muffled "mm".
Mother Carter finally sighed, her eyes full of disappointment, "Listen to Jane, we owe her too much, but we have never owed Jillian."
While waiting for the Carter Family’s response, Jane Sampson’s face remained unemotional and expressionless, but the moment she finished speaking, she felt as though she was standing on the clouds, with nothing solid beneath her feet, almost feeling an unsettling danger of swaying.
