Trenton didn't answer and asked angrily, "where's Makenna?"
"Makenna is in her room." Mrs. Gardner replied.
Trenton immediately walked upstairs.
Mrs. Gardner was a little scared to see him so angry.
Did Makenna do anything to annoy him?
So Mrs. Gardner quickly stood up and followed.
Trenton stood at the door of Makenna's room, and knocked with impatient urge.
The next second, the door opened, and Makenna appeared behind the door in a nightdress. She seemed to have just woken up, "Dad, what's the matter?"
Trenton was even angrier when he saw her like this.
He was being lashed at the meeting but she still slept well at home.
Trenton became more and more furious. Finally, he couldn't help raising his hand to slap her.
Makenna was knocked to the ground by this slap, and she was stunned.
"My girl!" Mrs. Gardner, who came to see the scene, screamed with fear and hurriedly hugged her.
Makenna covered her face and looked up at Trenton whose face was livid.
Mrs. Gardner was also astonished and enraged. "Trenton, are you out of your mind? Why did you hit our daughter?"
"Why did I hit her? Ask her what she had done!" Trenton pointed to Makenna with trembling fingers.
Makenna stood up with the help of Mrs. Gardner and said tearfully, "Dad, what… what have I done?"
"Speak." Mrs. Gardner touched her daughter's face and tears came out. "Makenna, does it hurt?"
Her cheek was red and swollen, which had shown how hard Trenton just slapped him.
"Yes." Makenna bit her lips and tears came out.
"You deserve it!" Trenton said coldly, "You told me that I could get this project. I thought you had persuaded Jared to help me, but I didn't expect that you would switch someone else's proposal."
Listening that, Makenna's eyes flashed guilty.
Mrs. Gardner was also stunned.
But she didn't take it so seriously, "That's not a big deal. There is no need to beat her."
"Yes, it's really not a big deal, but she was so careless. She sent away the assistant and switched the proposals herself in a room with a surveillance camera. By that, she basically handed the evidence straight to the enemies." Trenton looked at Makenna indifferently.
Makena stiffened with fear. "I... I didn't know there was surveillance camera."
"It's too late now. Do you know how humiliating I was when Amber pointed out that the proposal was not mine? More than 20 bosses were there. How am I gonna do business in the future!" Trenton bellowed.
Makenna drooped her head and dared not say a word.
Mrs. Gardner patted her on the back, "Trenton, it's not so serious."
"Why not? I've lost all my face this time. Everyone knows that I have a daughter who has sticky fingers and steals other people's ideas. I've become a joke of Olkmore City, do you know?"
Trenton pointed to Mrs. Gardner again, "As for you, if you go out and chat with those ladies now, they will look at you with disdain."
Mrs. Gardner suddenly became nervous, "No... no way."
"Why won't they?" Trenton sneered.
Mrs. Gardner believed what Trenton said and looked at Makenna with complicated eyes.
Makenna noticed that even her mom started to blame her. She bit her lips and immediately cried, "I did this for you, Dad. I just wanted you to get the project."
