Chapter 171 Slapped
Chapter 171 Slapped
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."
As soon as Mrs. Gardner heard this, the blame in her heart immediately dissipated and nodded, "Yes,
Trenton, Makenna made a mistake but her intention is good."
Trenton said sarcastically, "It's because you've spoiled her and made her such wicked and stupid. She
can't do things well and even leave traces of evidence. Believe it or not, sooner or later, our family will
be implicated by her."
Makenna exclaimed, "Dad?"
She couldn't believe that her father thought so of her and said she was wicked and stupid.
For a moment, Makenna felt a strong hatred in her heart and her eyes were red.
In order not to let Trenton notice her hate, she quickly lowered her head, looking like an whimpering
animal.
Trenton had a headache probably from the wrath he had.
He rubbed his temples. "These two days, you should stay at home and reflect on yourself."
After that, he walked out the room and went downstairs and took some medicine for his headache. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
After Trenton left, Mrs. Gardner immediately comforted her, "Makenna, your father just said those
words out of anger. Don't take it to the heart."
Makenna nodded and said in a low voice, "Mom, I want to be alone for a while."
"OK." Mrs. Gardner sighed and left.
She came downstairs and saw Trenton sitting on the sofa and taking medicine. She wanted to
complain about him originally, but seeing this, she couldn't say anything.
Mrs. Gardner went over and sat down. "Trenton, Makenna have realized her own mistakes. Forgive her
this time, OK?"
Trenton sighed, "I'm afraid. There will be a second and a third time. No wonder she's not my own…"
"Trenton!" Mrs. Gardner immediately raised her voice to interrupt him, "You can't say such words."
Trenton said, "Well, I won't say that. In short, I can see that Makenna is smart, but not wise enough.
She never did anything without making mistakes. If things go on like this, there will be troubles sooner
or later. I don't feel easy to let her be the heir of the Trident Group in the future, but fortunately, we still
have Makayla."
Mentioning the eldest daughter, Mrs. Gardner wiped her tears. "It's been almost two days. Why hasn't
Makayla come to us? Trenton, probably Makayla suspects that we don't want her to come here, so she
won't show up. We'd better take the initiative to find Makayla and let Makayla know that we didn't give
up on her."
Trenton nodded. "OK, I'll arrange my assistant to post the news on the Internet. Take a picture of your
necklace for me."
"OK!" Mrs. Gardner smiled and agreed.
At the railing on the second floor, Makenna heard that they were going to start looking for Makayla. Her
hands were clenched into fists.
She knew her sister was gonna be a menace, who had already started to rob her of her parents' love
and the inheritance right of the Trident group even if she weren't back home yet.
Therefore, there was no way she could allow her to enter this door!
Makenna turned around, went into the room, took out her cell phone and dialed a number, "Hey, this is
me. Did you find the person?"
A man's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Not yet."
Useless!
Makenna stamped her feet in annoyance.
It had been two days and he still couldn't find Makayla!
"I'll give you two more days. If you can't find it, you will see the consequences!" Makenna said
threateningly.
Then she put down her cell phone, changed her clothes and went out, driving to the Farrell Group.
Now that her switching the proposals had been exposed, she must go to appease Jade.
After arriving at the Farrell Group, Makenna walked to the president's exclusive elevator as usual.
Before reaching the elevator, she was stopped by the receptionist, "Miss Gardner, do you have an
appointment?"
Makenna widened her eyes, "Appointment? Do I need that?"
"Yes." the receptionist smiled and nodded, but she was gossiping in mind.
Did Miss Gardner break up with Mr. Farrell? Otherwise, why didn't he let her go up?
