Chapter 963 Adeena raised her foot high up and kicked Jack. âYou b*tch!â Jack was on the floor, holding his chest with a disbelief expression. âWho gave you the courage toâ¦â She dusted her hands and brushed the dust off her shoulders. âIâve given you a chance to walk away. Serve you right.â âJack, what happened?!â Ruth hurriedly emerged from the corner of the corridor, panicking,â Deena, how could you do anything to Jack? Heâs the future heir of the Finnian family. If you were to offend the Finnian family, Mr. and Mrs. Finnian wonât let you off the hook!â
Adeena looked calm. âWell, in order to make sure the Willis family doesnât get entangled by this, letâs meet in court.â
âThe Finnian family is very powerful. Why would you lodge a report?!â Ruth helped Jack to stand on his feet. âDeena, Jack just wanted to talk to you. Why do you hit him? How will you explain this to Mother and Father?â
Adeena took out her phone from her purse and pressed it. They then heard Jackâs voice playing from it.
âIt doesnât matter. Since youâve given birth before, stop acting so loftily and go to a hotel room with meâ¦â
She chuckled, âSounds like intentional harassment and offensive words. If I go to court, I donât think Iâll be the one accountable for those words.â
Ruthâs face turned pale.
She had also wanted to make use of this opportunity to defame Adeena. Unexpectedly, she had recorded her conversation with Jack.
Jack had an unpleasant expression. âDo you think that you can stand on the moral high ground with just a recording? I didnât actually do anything to you, but you physically struck me.â âSure. Iâll make this recording public. Well, itâs good to let the citizens in Cloud City know the true colors of the heir of the Finnian family.â Adeena smiled calmly as if no matter what happened, it would not bother her at all.
âWhat happened?â Jada came over hurriedly. âMr. Finnian, youâre hurt. Who did this to you?â Jack gritted his teeth. âItâs your adoptive daughter. Hmph, how dare a beloved b*tch hit me?!â
He shook off Ruthâs hand, which had been touching his chest, and walked away. Jada looked at Adeena with a serious expression. âDeena, I told you before, a daughter of a wealthy family doesnât hit people.â
The second day after Adeena woke up from her coma, Jada realized that she knew martial arts.
So she tried to brainwash her not to use her martial arts so casually.
After all, they had hired bodyguards and servants now. No lady from an upperâclass family would learn such violent skills.
âMother, does that mean that I shouldnât fight back even if Jack Finnian insults me?â Adeena asked calmly. She was showing a masterful amount of restraint, but somehow her aura made Jada feel a little overwhelmed.
âMother, Jack is Mrs. Finnianâs favorite son. She will definitely cause trouble for us this time.â Ruth said anxiously beside her.
Jada had an unpleasant expression.
âTwo decades ago, the Willis family and the Finnian family were both the most powerful families in Cloud City. But in this recent decade, the Finnian family buttered up with a big family in Sea City. Ever since then, they became the richest family in Cloud City. They no longer were on the same level as us.
âIf the Finnian family were to cause trouble to us, we would be ruined.â
âIâll handle this matter. Mother, donât worry about it.â Adeena said. âItâs getting late. Iâll head home now.â
She then walked through the corridor calmly. Ruth was furious. âMother, you shouldnât have adopted her back then. Who is she to act so loftily? Where does she even get that confidence from?!â
