Chapter 90: The Face of the Garcia Family
She barely tugged at the corners of her mouth, “Mom, don’t be ridiculous, Aaron hates Sherry, what could it have to do with her?”
“Then why won’t he get this woman out of the Night Group! He has to keep it in front of him every day?”
“…”
Nola is silent.
She doesn’t know.
She could think of certain reasons, but each one was something she desperately wanted to deny.
For example, Aaron may have fallen in love with Sherry, both in person and in her body.
Just the thought of this possibility made Nola shake with anger.
“Come on, don’t get involved in any of this, just look after yourself and your dad will see to the rest.” Amanda reassured her.
“No matter what, he wouldn’t dare brush your father off.”
That’s right!
There was a vague hint of expectation in Nola’s eyes.
This way Aaron entered with Sherry and met the eyes of the Garcia Family, facing David with a nonchalant attitude, “Uncle.”
This is the only moment when he will bow to the Garcia Family.
It was David who pulled him through when Night Group was at its most difficult.
It is also because of this layer of relationship that Aaron is so much more indulgent towards Nola.
David was quite happy with his attitude.
One phone call and Aaron brought Sherry over. David’s eyes shifted and lingered on Sherry for a moment, quickly moving away.
“Sit down.” His voice was authoritative, with a texture that brooked no argument, “I called you here today because of your assistant’s false accusation against Nola, it’s all family, there’s no need to make a scene and let outsiders look on.”
Aaron didn’t make a sound.
Sherry stood to one side, pondering the meaning of the words.
False accusations?
Heh, Garcia Family people call black white, a skill that’s inherited, right?
“If you leave it to the lawyers, it will be a laughing stock if word gets out. Today, have your assistant give Nola a serious apology and let’s forget about it.”
David picked up his tea and took a shallow sip.
Then his eyes lifted slyly, “No big deal, can’t get someone to send her to jail for another two years, not really.”
Sherry blacked out on the spot.
So even if Nola did something wrong, it was someone else who falsely accused her?
Shame on you!
So thick-skinned, no wonder business is profitable, it’s all about begging and pitting, right?
She instantly understood what the Garcia Family meant, and as soon as she looked up, she gazed into Nola’s face.
That look made Nola panic inside.
There was even a subconscious attempt to dodge.
No, what is she afraid of?
With the Garcia Family backing her up, what are you afraid of Sherry?
Nola instantly straightened her back, “Sherry, apologize.”
Even in front of Aaron, Nola is no longer pretentious.
Her most urgent wish now was for Sherry to disappear from his presence and stop being a hindrance between them.
So, even at the risk of being questioned by Aaron, Nola gradually exuded a look of viciousness, “It’s come to this, and it’s going to be tough if you don’t apologize.”
The eyes of the rest of the Garcia Family also fell on Sherry.
As if how magnanimous it was, just waiting for an apology from her, Nola and indeed the entire Garcia Family would forgive her for her credulousness.
Sherry hung her head for a few seconds in thought.
When he looked up again, his face was already full of tears.
Tears fell like broken beads, and when she opened her mouth, her voice was mute, “As long as I apologize? You guys, you really won’t hold me responsible?”
Nola was taken aback by her look but didn’t see that she was hiding something fishy and slowly said, “Yes, as long as you apologize today, this will go away, after all, I’m not going to fall out with Tacy because of you.”
Sherry gave a faint oh.
A few steps forward, he pulled out the recorder he had previously given Aaron to listen to.
In front of everyone in the Garcia Family, the public release button was turned on.
All at once, Nola’s voice came through loud and clear …
“You!”
Nola went up and tried to grab it.
Sherry laughed at her panicked look and, despite the tear stains on her face, deliberately asked rhetorically, “Do you, now, need an apology from me, Nola, and are you worthy of one?”
“You’re a murderer.”
“Making repeated moves against me, do you really think I don’t dare to fight back?”
“You should be holding me up and offering me now, or I’ll publish these things, and anyway I have no status or position, and look who it is that will be reduced to the laughing stock of the city.”
Nola is at a loss for words.
The voice was truly hers.
And aside, the Garcia Family all blackened their faces, especially David.
He had wanted to settle the matter and give Aaron a chance to initiate a marriage proposal, where he had not thought that Nola had such a handle in the hands of others.
It was also made public in front of Aaron.
It’s not a mess out there, but it’s humiliating enough.
“Take her to her room.” David’s voice sank angrily and he slapped down the table.
Nola was too frightened to get out of the house, and with the Garcia Family law in place, she would have been punished by being put on her knees.
She also glared back at Sherry hard as she was led upstairs by Amanda.
The whole time, Aaron was on hand and didn’t stand in the way, whether it was Nola pushing Sherry or Sherry pulling out that recording, he was unhurried and stayed completely out of the way.
The more he does this, the more impenetrable he becomes, and even David, at this point, is weighing up how to speak.
It was finally in this situation that he threw out, “Name a price, how much would it cost to gag you.”
Sherry didn’t look surprised at all at this response.
In their eyes, money can buy everything, whether it is human dignity or the truth of the matter.
And, someone like her would surely say yes.
“One million.”
Sherry was quick to answer and didn’t drag her feet at all.
As the words left his mouth, Aaron’s eyes glanced at her with a deeper meaning tinged in them.
And David was full of shock at this point, “Do you know what you’re talking about? You’re blackmailing!”
How much is it worth to make a million dollars out of a few broken recordings?
But the more excited he got, the more calm Sherry’s expression became.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“So that’s how much Mr. Garcia loves his daughter… a million dollars to buy the reputation of your Garcia Family’s daughter… well worth it… or do you want her to go to jail like me and be charged with attempted murder?”
The next second, Sherry suddenly smiled.
“If that happens, it will be difficult for her to marry into the Swift Family.”
Not to mention the Henry Family.
Would they allow a woman with a criminal record to marry into the family when they won’t even acknowledge an illegitimate child of Aaron’s outstanding ability?
Meeting David’s gaze, Sherry’s heart also sweated.
She knew that by doing so, she was asking a tiger for its skin, but at least Aaron was here, and although he hated her and had tortured her in countless ways, at least, he still had a shred of humanity.
No stabbing in the back like Nola.
And that’s why Sherry dared to take the gamble.
Just bet Aaron won’t let her die in the Garcia Family.
