Want to get acquainted?
Mia Ginger toyed with the idea for a while before suddenly reacting.
Marianne Jackson likes Louis Cox?
Not a single sign.
She mused carelessly, took Marianne Jackson’s phone, and typed: "I need to ask him first."
Marianne froze.
Mia lowered her head and continued eating.
She had known Louis Cox for many years and naturally understood his temperant.
That man had no patience for girls, and it was common for him to get physical with them when annoyed.
How could she just give Marianne Jackson his contact information?
Not to ntion whether she could win Louis Cox over, just the idea of it getting out would certainly make Lydia Williams and Zane Jackson bla her.
Actually, not just those two, Old Master Jackson and Koa Jackson obviously had no good feelings towards the Cox and ng families.
Her relationship with Marianne Jackson wasn’t great, so there was no need to involve herself in such trouble.
Mia had an indifferent look on her face.
Marianne stared at her confused, feeling uneasy all over.
This is ridiculous.
Is this person really so petty?
She’s already together with Koa Jackson and is going to be her sister-in-law in the future. She’s serving drinks and trying to be friendly, just wanting Louis Cox’s contact information, is it that hard?
Is she really giving her no face?
Marianne pursed her lips, angrily packed her phone away.
Sitting apart from them, Koa Jackson picked up the small wine glass beside him, preparing to drink a bit with Old Master Jackson.
Unexpectedly—
As soon as a few people raised their glasses, a crisp "snap" sounded in everyone’s ears.
Mia turned around and Aunt Lee, right in front of her, was swaying.
She froze, her gaze just landing on the shattered porcelain pieces on the ground when soone shouted beside her, "It’s an earthquake!"
As the shout rang out—
The crystal chandelier above everyone’s heads emitted a series of sharp sounds, and nearby, things on the Treasure Pavilion and on the dining table also clattered loudly.
Several porcelain pieces fell to the ground, and the hall was in chaos.
Koa Jackson imdiately stood up, grabbed Mia’s wrist, and shouted to the stunned kids, "Quick, run to the courtyard!"
Bryan Jackson started crying loudly, and beside him, Alan Jackson was dragging him to run out.
Soon—
Everyone in the hall ran to the courtyard in no ti.
Old Master Jackson coughed heavily twice, and Butler Jackson patted his back while saying to Gideon Jackson beside him, "Quickly go and check everywhere, see if there are still people in the back building, shout out and get everyone out."
"Yes!" Gideon responded, called two frightened maids, and headed to the back building.
Mia felt a bit dizzy, holding onto Koa Jackson’s hand just to barely stand, watching as the scene around her slowly cald down.
This process lasted for about a minute.
Earthquakes were rare in Cloud Capital’s history, everyone barely recovered from the shock just now, Daniella Jackson said, "It’s over. That was frightening. Dad, how are you?"
"I’m fine." Old Master Jackson looked up and glanced at everyone, asking with concern, "Is everyone alright?"
"It scared to death!" Bryan Jackson lay in Lydia Williams’s arms and started crying again.
Shen Qiao turned his head to look at Bryan, patted Alan Jackson’s head, and smiled, "It’s okay now, don’t be afraid."
"I’m not afraid, Mommy," Alan said, looking up.
"Okay." Shen Qiao looked down and smiled.
Behind her, Lydia irritably covered her son’s mouth and gently scolded, "Stop crying, look at Alan, he’s even younger than you by a year and so brave."
