"Zena!" Jodie melted into tears as soon as she called Zena.
Albert quickly walked to Zena. With sharp eyes, he immediately noticed the injury on Zena's face. Although he felt sad in heart, he did not say a word and just looked at Xavier.
James also came in, followed by Richard.
Xavier did not greet them, and his eyes were bland.
Of course, James saw Zena's swollen face, but he did not say anything.
"Zena..." Jodie took Zena's hand and sobbed, "Does your face hurt? I came here in a hurry, but..." As soon as she said this, she couldn't help looking at Xavier with anger in her eyes, "Xavier, how can you treat Zena like this? What did she do wrong?"
Early in the morning, James brought a few people to her house and only asked where Zena had gone. Seeing James like that, she knew that he must want to do something bad to Zena. She thought that Zena had left anyway, and there was no need for her to hide, so she said that Zena had left for the airport.
Then, she saw James let the men behind him go to the airport to catch Zena. She and Albert couldn't stop James, and they were worried about Zena, so they insisted on going with him. Fortunately, James agreed after thinking for a moment.
As a result, her only daughter had been brought here and had even been bullied. As Zena's mother, how could she not feel distressed?
Xavier raised his head slightly and smiled mockingly.
Jodie was angry and anxious, "You and James are brothers, and you two grew up together. What's wrong? Now you even deal with things in the same way? What mistake did Zena make? Why do you bully her one by one? James ruined her career and wanted to drive her out of this country. What about you? You even beat her! Who do you think you're? You are not her boyfriend or her husband. What right do you have to beat my daughter? Let me tell you. Even if you are her boyfriend or husband, I can't tolerate you beating her!"
"Really?" Xavier said coolly.
Jodie was annoyed to the extreme, "Xavier! What did Zena do wrong? Why did you beat her? She's about to leave! What qualification do you have to treat her like this? What exactly did she do? Who do you think you are?"
She could accept the fact that Zena had lost her job and had to leave this country. However, she definitely could not allow her daughter to be beaten by others!
"What did she do? You shouldn't have asked me. You should have asked your good daughter."
Jodie was stunned. Before she could take any action, Xavier stretched out his leg and kicked the document pouch to the front of Jodie.
"You can take a look at the things inside." After speaking, Xavier passed the recording pen to Jodie, "If she is still unwilling to say it, you can listen to these conversations carefully."
Jodie looked at the recording pen in Xavier's hand and then lowered her head to look at the document pouch on the ground.
More than half of the pictures had dropped on the ground. The expression in Jodie's eyes changed and her mind went blank.
