Hannah choked, unable to get a word out.
Janine sneered. "Cordelia's right if you ask me! If she and Zephyr didn't keep an eye out and have someone follow Ava, she might really be deceived by the old man!
"And you have a baby now, Hannah, but you can't neglect your daughter, right?"
"Enough!" Hannah screamed and spotted Ava who was hiding among the crowd at a glance.
Ava kept her head lowered and looked as frantic as she was.
The moment their eyes met, Ava could clearly feel the murderous glint in her mother's eyes and shuddered.
Franklin came over.
He had heard the ruckus that happened over here, and someone had told him everything that unfolded.
Living to this age, Franklin had long mastered the skill of masking his emotions. However, there was a storm in the bottom of his unfazed eyes, and his silence was only the quiet before the storm.
"Hannah Johnson, Ava Baker." Franklin's voice startled the two women like a hammer. "Explain this!"
"Dad…"
"Grandpa…"
"Grandpa, let me explain." Zephyr's voice was aloof. "I've looked into this Mr. Cole. He's just a regular businessman who makes venture capital investments. Aside from being older, there's nothing wrong."
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
Hannah and Ava were shocked.
