CHAPTER 65: CHAPTER 65: SHE HEARD JASPER FITZGERALD’S VOICE

While everyone was suspicious, Zara was the only one unaffected by the surrounding interference.

Her whole heart and eyes were filled with Flash.

Although she hadn’t seen him for several days, the little guy still remembered her commands clearly.

No matter what she asked him to do, he responded promptly.

The interaction between the girl and the dog was loving and cute, melting the hearts of some female guests at the scene.

Not far away, Sonny saw this scene and was terribly envious.

Although he didn’t know what a military dog was, he really liked that dog.

Tonight, this little silly girl received so many nice gifts; if he snatched this dog, Dad Hawthorne surely wouldn’t mind.

Thinking like this, Sonny immediately began to slowly approach, his eyes filled with greed.

At this moment, Flash seemed to detect malicious intent, and his originally cute and obedient gaze instantly became sharp and wary.

His four short legs also took a defensive stance, standing in front of Zara, baring his teeth and fiercely barking at Sonny a few times.

Sonny wasn’t afraid at all and calmly asked Jordan Hawthorne, "Dad, can I play with the dog together with my sister? I really like little pets too..."

Before Jordan Hawthorne could respond, Florence Scott already had a loving expression, "Sonny also likes it? Then, of course, you can play together. Zara, let your brother play with your dog for a while!"

Little Zara immediately became unhappy upon hearing this.

Flash was a gift from uncle...

Sonny, emboldened after getting approval, immediately ran over, wanting to catch Flash.

Flash was equally unwilling to be touched by him, instantly dodging away, his barking becoming fiercer.

Sonny was very unhappy, angrily cursing, "Why are you barking? Come here and play with me, or I’ll hit you!"

Flash seemed to understand his words, barking several times, a hint of fierceness appearing in his eyes.

Seeing that the stubborn dog wouldn’t come over, Sonny angrily raised his hand, wanting to hit him.

Flash sensed danger and naturally would no longer endure it, instantly lunging forward, knocking Sonny down.

Simultaneously, his sharp claws scratched fiercely across Sonny’s face.

Sonny was scared out of his wits, panic-stricken as he loudly shouted, "Mom, Dad, save me!!!"

Afraid that Flash would be bullied, Zara anxiously called out in her child-like voice, "Flash, come back..."

As soon as Flash heard his little owner’s voice, he immediately withdrew his fierce claws, quickly retreating, his small body forming a completely protective stance behind Zara.

Sonny wailed and cried beside them, the scene utterly tragic.

Jordan Hawthorne and Brooke Sinclairs quickly came over to check his condition.

Upon seeing the two bright red scratches on Sonny’s face, Brooke Sinclairs exclaimed, "Oh my..."

Jordan Hawthorne frowned and looked sharply at Sabrina Hayes, shouting sternly, "This dog is so ferocious and dangerous, even if it’s a military dog, it’s not suitable for Zara, and now it’s even scratched someone, will you continue indulging it?"

Sabrina Hayes sneered, "This military dog has received professional training and is only aggressive towards dangerous things. Didn’t you see that it was this brat who struck first? Isn’t being scratched quite normal?"

Tessa Hughes also mocked, "Trying to snatch something that isn’t yours? Serves him right to end up like this! Besides... Didn’t you see how this little military dog is very close to our darling Zara? Even a puppy can differentiate between right and wrong, why can’t some people?"

"How can you say that?"

Brooke Sinclairs couldn’t swallow her anger, furiously exclaiming, "The child is injured now, don’t you have any sympathy? He is a living person, incomparable to an animal!"

Originally, she was already fuming tonight due to Sabrina Hayes stealing the spotlight.

Now, looking at this military dog, her anger surged.

She couldn’t sort out Sabrina Hayes, but sorting out this beast was doable!

Brooke Sinclairs was so angry that she grabbed a nearby gift box, intending to hit Flash.

Dylan Quinlan saw this and immediately issued a stern warning, "Harming a military dog carries consequences! Just now, your son posed a threat to Flash, its counterattack was justified, and it gave an audible warning before attacking...

This outcome was certainly self-seeking, aren’t you educating your son, but instead punishing the dog?"

Brooke Sinclairs seethed with anger, "My son is far more precious than a dog, and I refuse to believe I can’t deal with a beast."

As she spoke, she swung the box harshly toward Flash.

Sabrina Hayes was startled.

Flash was right next to Zara, and if the swing went through, perhaps both little ones would be affected.

She almost reflexively moved to protect them.

However, Josee Sheffield was faster, swiftly gathering up the little cub and dodging aside.

As for Flash, his body was nimble enough that he didn’t need assistance.

Dylan Quinlan frowned deeply, "I advise you not to further provoke it; otherwise, it will remember you forever, biting you each time it meets!"

Florence Scott immediately was very displeased and angrily cursed, "Why keep such a dangerous thing around, hurry up and throw it out!"

Sabrina Hayes retorted, "Dangerous where? Didn’t you see it was protecting Zara? Besides, with so many people present, why harm only him and not others? Didn’t you see the other side’s vile behavior, are you blind?"

The rest of the guests, hearing this, thought there was logic.

The little military dog was originally playing well with the girl.

It was the boy’s hand that was careless, enticing trouble, can others be blamed for that?

The guests’ expressions suddenly became odd.

Jordan Hawthorne noticed this and realized it wasn’t wise to continue, could only take a deep breath, blocking Brooke Sinclairs, saying, "Take Sonny to the hospital first, he needs an injection to deal with the wound."

Brooke Sinclairs’ rage teetered within, but knowing the scene couldn’t be regained, could only leave with her son.

The guests wore expressions of pity and amazement.

The drama tonight was exceptionally captivating.

Even a prestigious family like The Hawthorne Family was repeatedly embarrassed by their daughter-in-law.

Jonathan Hawthorne and Florence Scott felt the mocking glances, their expressions terribly sour.

Sabrina Hayes no longer felt inclined to stay, simply said to those around her, "Let’s go too."

Josee Sheffield and others naturally had no objections.

After exiting the hotel, Dylan Quinlan was the first to say goodbye, "Gifts delivered, I shall report back."

Sabrina Hayes smiled, "Thanks to Mr. Quinlan for coming all the way."

Dylan Quinlan waved his hand.

He couldn’t decline a direct commission from the individual himself.

A blacklist that was so hard to come by!

However, he didn’t mention this, and quickly left.

When they went back, it was Josee who sent them off.

Sabrina and her friends, along with the little ones, sat in the back seat.

Flash nestled in Zara’s arms, behaving exceptionally well.

Tessa was completely charmed by the little ones, wanting to reach out and pet them several times, but she was a bit hesitant.

Zara noticed this, immediately took her hand and said, "Flash is very gentle, I’ll let godmother pet him, and he won’t get angry. Once he gets familiar, it’ll be fine..."

Naturally, Tessa had no objections and was guided by the little ones to interact with Flash.

The furry little ball felt incredibly soft.

Tessa was completely smitten and reluctant to let go.

After getting acquainted with Flash, she talked about tonight’s events: "President Sheffield, along with Elder Yates, Miss Yates, and this little military dog, made consecutive appearances, which finally vented Zara’s frustrations. Did you see the expressions on the Hawthornes’ faces when we were leaving? It was truly spectacular, like a palette..."

Sabrina was focused on messaging the detectives, asking them to stake out at the hotel to observe Jordan’s next moves.

There were still guests in the banquet hall, and he didn’t accompany Brooke to the hospital.

After it ended, he might not rush over...

After sending the message, she put away her phone and replied, "It was indeed satisfying."

Later, the three of them, with Zara, found a place and cut the cake again, making up for the regret of missing it in the banquet hall.

Finally, they took Zara home.

It was already late when they entered.

But with Flash around, Zara wasn’t tired at all.

Sabrina decided to make a cozy nest for the little military dog with her.

Before sleeping, she placed the little nest by Zara’s bed.

For one, it could make Zara happy, and secondly, they were afraid that leaving it outside might disturb them.

Tonight at the banquet, it ended so uncontrollably; that man would likely come back to settle scores.

However, to her surprise, Jordan didn’t return that night.

She thought about it briefly, then found it reasonable.

The son of his first love was injured, and she cried her heart out. Wouldn’t he need to be there to comfort her?

Sabrina didn’t know that after she left, the banquet had already dispersed early.

After all, the birthday star had left, and with Josee and The Yates Family stepping forward, the carefully prepared banquet by the Hawthorne Family was overshadowed.

In everyone’s hearts, the way the Hawthorne Family acted tonight was somewhat disgraceful.

After the unhappy dispersal, Florence immediately called Brooke to inquire about Sonny’s condition.

Brooke tearfully and aggrievedly said, "He got vaccinated, cried for a long time, and only just coaxed him to sleep..."

Florence hurriedly consoled her and said she would visit later.

Brooke agreed verbally but internally harbored hatred towards Sabrina.

She definitely wouldn’t just let tonight’s events go!!!

After hanging up, Florence went to find Jordan, "Let’s go to the hospital to see Brooke and Sonny."

Jordan had drunk quite a bit and seemed uninterested.

Ethan frowned, "Tonight Brooke and Sonny were bullied like that, brother, are you really willing to let it go? Look at that Sabrina, how pleased she is, bringing so many people to disrupt our event, what audacity! I say, you should quickly kick her out!

I just don’t believe it; without you, could she thrive? Those connections might just have been established using the Hawthorne Family!

Otherwise, how could people like Josee and Elder Yates truly value her? Don’t we know her abilities?"

This Sabrina is really excessive, using the connections established by the Hawthorne Family to turn back and suppress the family, she’s simply a traitor! And she’s still unclear with a few men in front of you, first with Josee, then with that Mr. Quinlan...

Look at her chatting with them, how intimate she seems!"

Jordan remained silent, but his eyes were cold and deep.

Sabrina didn’t know how she was being portrayed.

The next morning, after having breakfast with Zara, Sabrina planned to take her to school.

However, the little ones were adamantly opposed to separating from Flash and wanted to bring him along.

Sabrina coaxed for a long time, barely persuading them.

As they left, the two little ones were so reluctant to part, it made Sabrina feel both amused and exasperated.

Later, after getting Zara into school, Sabrina called Nash.

The intention was to ask Nash to help thank Mr. Fitzgerald.

After all, he gifted the little military dog!

This was quite a significant favor!

However, she didn’t expect a deep, magnetic voice that was so pleasing it made her ears itch to come from the other end.

"Hello?"

Sabrina was a bit taken aback, suspecting she dialed wrong.

She checked the number on the screen.

She hadn’t dialed wrong, but the voice wasn’t Nash’s as it was normally.

Suddenly, she had a suspicion.

Could this be... Mr. Fitzgerald???

As if confirming her suspicion, Nash’s voice came through, "Dr. Nash, are you looking for my master? He’s talking to you now."

Sabrina’s heart skipped a beat.

It’s actually...really him!!!

She suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed and didn’t know what to do.

Though they both knew of each other’s existence, this was the first time they were speaking on the phone.

The other’s voice was cool, with an inherent nobility, yet the richness of the tone made one forget the indifference and distance, involuntarily drawing them in.
