Chapter 306

Chapter 306

Today I witnessed a complete circus. I didn't want to go out again and just wanted to rest at home.

But hearing Tamsin's voice on the phone, I agreed anyway.

When Jason and I arrived at Old Mansion, I realized everyone was already there.

Everyone looked pretty grim, even Kelly, who's usually the most cheerful, was frowning.

My heart skipped a beat.

What's going on?

Could the Cooper family be going bankrupt?

But that doesn't make sense. If it were something that big, wouldn't Jason have told me?

While my mind was racing, Jason spoke up.

"That's what happened. What do you all think?"

I whipped my head around to look at him.

What's this about?

Tamsin, sitting in the main seat, snorted coldly. Her expression was the most serious I'd ever seen.

"What else is there to think? She's bullied your wife to her face! Why should we give her any respect?"

Thomas nodded in agreement:

"I agree. The Coleman family was the one who acted badly first. There's nothing wrong with us fighting back now."

The Coleman family?

I blinked slowly as a figure came to mind.

Kelly finally couldn't hold back anymore and spoke up angrily:

"Of course we have to fight back! Maya has some nerve, daring to bully Sue. We need to show her that the Cooper family isn't to be messed with!"

As she spoke, she came over to my side, linking her arm with mine to comfort me:

"Sue, don't worry. We won't let you be wronged!"

I nodded gently, feeling warmth in my heart.

This feeling of being protected by family is really nice.

After thinking for a moment, I asked: "How did you all find out?"

I was the only one in the whole family who didn't know.

Jason explained at the right moment:

"When Daryl left, I had someone follow him and investigate thoroughly."

He said it casually, but I knew Daryl probably had a rough time.

After all, Jason is the king of jealousy. Even when Lily just goes shopping with me a bit longer, he gets jealous when I get home.

Not to mention Daryl publicly claimed I'd been pregnant with his child.

Wasn't that just asking for trouble?

Tamsin cleared her throat, drawing everyone's attention to her.

"I'm putting this out there - this time we need to make the Coleman family hurt badly. I remember that piece of land downtown the Coleman family has been very interested in?"

Jason immediately understood: "The Coleman family won't get it."

Only then did Tamsin nod with satisfaction, then beckoned to me.

"Grandma."

I walked to Tamsin's side and said softly.

"Sue, you've been wronged this time. Take these things - consider them grandma's way of comforting you."

Tamsin waved her hand, and the butler immediately came forward with a box.

I was a bit confused.

The butler opened the box, and I was shocked by the dazzling array of jewelry inside.

"Grandma, this is too much."

I looked at Tamsin helplessly, politely declining.

Jason already buys me plenty of jewelry, but I don't really like wearing it.

Tamsin giving me so much jewelry - I felt like I'd never use it all.

"It's fine, grandma's giving it to you so just take it. Even if you just keep it at home to look at, that's okay."

Tamsin looked at me with heartache and let out a long sigh:

"Poor thing, you're pregnant and still being slandered like this. Those people are shameless, they deserve to die!"

"Sue, don't worry. Our family will definitely get justice for you!"

As Tamsin spoke, her eyes reddened with emotion.

I shook my head, my voice soft: "Grandma, I'm fine."

I never took Maya seriously anyway, because I know Jason loves me very much, and the Cooper family respects me. With them around, I have nothing to be sad about.

We had dinner together at Old Cooper Mansion before heading home.

Because this situation was pretty serious, we didn't bring Jessica. With Imogen and Lila taking care of Jessica, I felt at ease.

On the way back, I turned to look at Jason, who was driving with his eyes straight ahead:

"Honey, you could have handled this yourself, right? Why did you need to let everyone know?"

Jason: "The Coleman family and Cooper family go way back. Since Maya returned to the country, she's been wanting to work with Glacier Corp."

When he put it that way, I immediately understood.

Jason could have dealt with Maya directly, but that would inevitably give the Coleman family an excuse to make things difficult for the Cooper family.

This wasn't just between two people anymore - it was between two major families.

"Just because of me, the Cooper family has to become enemies with the Coleman family?"

My lips moved, and my feelings were complicated.

Jason turned to look at me deeply:

"Wife, you're very important. You're the most important person in my life. Don't say 'just because' - even if you suffer the tiniest bit of harm, to me it's extremely serious."

"If I'm in this position and still can't protect you, what's the point?"

Hearing his words, my heart felt sweet.

I said: "Honey, I'm so lucky to have you."

A few days have passed since the Daryl incident.

I also learned from Jason why he agreed to Cora and Luke's request.

Daryl's family did make some money from a small business while he was in school, which led to his wasteful spending habits.

Later, when the family business stopped making money, Daryl kept spending lavishly, so now his life is extremely difficult.

He borrowed a lot from online lenders, and now it's time to repay them. Unable to pay back, he's being chased by debt collectors everywhere.

Right at that time, Luke found him and asked him to put on a show with them. If they achieved their goal, they'd give Daryl five hundred thousand dollars.

When Daryl heard it was just about spreading rumors about me, he immediately agreed.

They just didn't expect that even after they said all that, Jason wouldn't dislike me at all, but would keep protecting me instead.

I secretly asked Samuel about what happened to Daryl afterward, but Samuel just shook his head mysteriously.

He wouldn't tell me, and Jason wouldn't say either, so I stopped asking.

I went to the office as usual. Marcella, who had joined the company, saw me and greeted me with a smile:

"Good morning, Ms. Wilson."

"Morning."

I responded and went straight to my office.

Lily was there today too.

The crew we hired was pretty much complete, and we were officially starting to shoot today.

Lily was pacing back and forth in the office, looking incredibly nervous.

I asked with some amusement:

"What's wrong with you?"

"I'm nervous! This is my first time writing a script. What if it doesn't turn out well, isn't popular, and doesn't make money?"

Lily was anxious, wringing her clothes in her hands.

I got up and patted her shoulder, comforting her.

"Relax. You're the big writer who created a hit IP series. Short dramas will be a piece of cake for you. Even if we don't make money, it's fine - we have a high margin for error."

Lily looked at me deeply, then gave me a thumbs up.

"Boss! With you saying that, I feel better!"

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just as I was about to say something, Marcella from the front desk called.

"Ms. Wilson, there's a Ms. Coleman here who wants to see you."
