Chapter 1416: Should I Bring Up Andrea Greenwood to Jose Floyd?

"There’s no reason to pin the blame on Andrea Greenwood. This is clearly aimed at Andrea and Jose Floyd’s engagement! Now that Andrea has been arrested, who is Jose going to be engaged to?"

Olivia Summer thought for a moment and called Ariel Morris and Jorge Saxton, hoping Ariel could persuade Arlo Seys to let Andrea go.

When Ariel Morris received the call, she hesitated a bit. To be honest, she really didn’t want to go to Clearflower Estate. She knew Olivia’s invitation was all about Andrea’s situation, putting her in a difficult position.

In the end, Ariel considered how Olivia had been kind to her mother and brother Jorge in the past, and with a junior’s attitude, she decided to go to Clearflower Estate.

When Ariel arrived, she saw her brother was already seated in Clearflower Estate and gave her a look, mouthing the words ’Andrea Greenwood.’

As expected...

Ariel gave a slight smile and politely greeted Olivia Summer: "Aunt Olivia."

No matter how Olivia is defending Andrea now, back in the day, she truly was loyal and kind to her mother and brother.

"Ariel, please, have a seat. It’s rare to have a chat with you. Did calling you to Clearflower Estate today interrupt anything important?"

Ariel sat down next to Jorge Saxton.

Olivia had someone serve Ariel tea. Since she wasn’t very familiar with Ariel, she didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "Ariel, I heard the Seys Family had the police arrest Andrea Greenwood?"

Ariel set down her teacup. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her brother also wearing a stern expression. She softly responded to Olivia, "It wasn’t the Seys Family who had the police arrest Andrea. Rather, it was our Seys Family that reported Andrea to the police with solid evidence, and the police acted accordingly."

The process was the same in both their statements.

But Olivia’s words, "the Seys Family had the police arrest Andrea," implied that the Seys Family had the power to direct the police, with a hint of questioning Ariel.

Ariel, calm and not angered, used gentle words to defend her husband’s family.

The message was clear, expressing that the Seys Family was the plaintiff, taking the evidence to the police, who then acted in accordance with the law.

Moreover, Ariel immediately clarified her stance, siding with her husband’s family by using the words ’our Seys Family.’

Now that she was part of the Seys Family, every word and phrase protected her own family.

Olivia, being a shrewd person, paused at Ariel’s response, somewhat displeased, "What evidence does the Seys Family have against Andrea? Andrea is gentle and well-behaved. She’s always been by my side, and I haven’t seen her do anything wrong!"

This was obviously questioning the Seys Family—

Ariel’s expression tightened, and she responded more coolly, "Aunt Olivia, being gentle and well-behaved doesn’t mean one can’t do wrong. Since our Seys Family dared to accuse, we obviously have the most compelling evidence."

Olivia noticed Ariel repeatedly saying ’our Seys Family,’ protecting her husband’s family without a slip, and turned an unhappy gaze to Jorge Saxton.

"Jorge, you and Jose Floyd are more like brothers than actual brothers. Andrea is Jose’s fiancée, which makes her the wife of your dear brother, please help think of a solution."

The meaning was clear, she wanted Jorge Saxton to persuade his sister to say something favorable.

Jorge pursed his lips, glanced at his sister, and just as he was about to speak, Ariel calmly replied from the side, "If we’re going to get into this, Nicole is still my only sister-in-law. This account is not one to be settled lightly. If Aunt Olivia hadn’t mentioned it, I’d have forgotten. Jose Floyd is indeed my brother’s brother, and now his nominal fiancée has bullied my sister-in-law. Should I not bring this issue up to him?"
