148. The Reason!
Days passed so quickly, and the announcement party was already knocking on the door. The event was scheduled to hold at the Acostas’ villa. As earlier discussed with Marvin, the arrangement would take note of everything, and all guests invited would have their fingerprints listed in the system so their identities could be confirmed.Just as it was planned, so it was happening. The entire mansion had been decorated with lots of flowers and beautiful designs that reflected the luxurious lifestyle of the Acosta family. Top people were invited to this announcement party, and even the wealthy individuals living overseas received invitations—and they honored them by attending.Aria’s plan remained intact. She intended to use the announcement party to detect anyone who was not invited but still found a way into the venue. After the event concluded, she would review the fingerprints and match each one with the list of invited guests already stored in the system. That way, anyone who wasn’t in
149. Rekindling Hope
This question didn’t catch Chloe’s interest in the slightest; she already had her own reason for wanting to attend the party.Olga, on the other hand, was initially shocked that Brantley had reached out to Chloe. Her immediate worry was whether he had spilled all the plans they intended to carry out today. She decided to put that fear aside for the moment. Right now, what she really wanted was to hear the reason Chloe had for coming over today.Her daughter, whom she knew would never willingly step into anything connected to Aria—simply because she despised her to the core—was here. So why exactly had she come?“Come on, Chloe. Tell your mom exactly what you told me earlier—the reason you said you came to this party in the first place,” Henry said, pulling off his shirt, now soaked with wine thanks to Olga.Chloe smirked at him, a hint of mischief in her eyes.“You should just let Mom stew in suspense a little longer before I tell her,” she said, her voice playful. “But, since she’s t
150. Give An Answer!
Hearing everything her daughter had just said, Olga slowly shook her head. She didn’t even know what to respond with; she only stared at Chloe and Henry as they practically cheered about how she would soon become rich.Of course, Chloe wasn’t wrong. In fact, every single thing her daughter mentioned was true. But what Olga couldn’t wrap her mind around was why Brantley had gone ahead to discuss their plans with Chloe.He even told her that he was very sure Aria would accept his proposal because her mother—Olga—had already assured him that she would convince her.So what kept Olga truly baffled was whether Brantley had also discussed the part where they mentioned payments and how much she would receive for helping to persuade Aria to marry him.That particular detail was something she never wanted anyone to know—not her daughter, not anyone at all.For that reason, she needed to quickly head out and call Brantley to ask if he had told Aria those things.But first, she needed to leave t
151. It's Almost Time!
Brantley didn’t even know what to say.The phone call itself had taken him by surprise. He was still wiping down his body when Olga’s name flashed across his screen. At first, he assumed she wanted something simple — maybe to ask where he was or why he hadn’t reached the location yet. Instead, he found himself listening to her shouting at him for telling Chloe about their plan.Still trying to understand the sudden anger, he asked, “Is there anything wrong if I tell Chloe about our plan?”That was the only thing he could ask.But Olga snapped back immediately. “Yes, there are many things wrong with you telling Chloe what we discussed. And who exactly are you to even call her? Is she your sister or your friend? You have no business with Chloe, you know? So why then did you call her?”Brantley rolled his eyes at the ridiculous questions Olga was throwing at him. He was even confused to the point that he asked, “What’s even the issue with you? Is it that I called Chloe to inform her abou
152. I Am The One!
The party began on a bright note. Everyone was already prepared, and the energy around the lounge felt lively. Even Aria was the one welcoming the guests herself. She stood at the entrance, side by side with Marvin’s men, making sure they took each guest’s thumbprint before allowing them inside.Aria remained at the entrance with Marvin, greeting and hugging every guest who made their way in. At the same time, she kept hoping to spot Aisha. At least, she wanted to see the person Aisha would arrive with.In Aria’s own words, anybody who comes with Aisha to this party automatically becomes a suspect, especially since Aisha had boldly said she would be coming with the unknown CEO of ABC Companies.That was exactly what Aria was thinking to herself when she suddenly spotted an old business partner—Mrs. Genevieve.With a warm smile, she welcomed the old lady.“Wow, Mrs. Genevieve! This is you. It’s been quite a while. I never knew you would honour the invitation!” Aria said, her voice fil
153. No Thumbprint, No Entrance!
Looking straight at Aria, who stood right in front of her, Becca felt anger rise sharply inside her. She had expected that the moment the whole disturbance began, Aria would immediately shout at Marvin for daring to ask for her thumbprint. In her mind, Aria invited her to the party because she was “special,” because they had a relationship. So if she was found in any sort of argument with anyone, she expected Aria to defend her—say something in her favor.But instead, Aria stepped forward with her hands crossed, her eyes fixed on her, as if she was ready to do anything at all.Staring back at Aria, Becca realized there was no point trying to twist her expression or pretend to be calm. She had already begun the scene with aggression, showing the security absolute anger and disrespect, so it was only right that she continued in that same tone.So when Aria asked her question, Becca decided to face her directly.“What did you just say?” Becca snapped, her voice sharp. “Are you seriously
154. Shame Over Pride!
Becca felt shame wash over her the moment Aria started to lose her patience. She couldn’t believe she was being sent out of the party regardless of her status and how she chose to present herself. Her pride was the same thing that kept her from kneeling before Aria earlier. In her mind, she was too important to place her thumbprint there, too important to let an “ordinary person” like Aria dictate anything to her.That was why she first considered leaving. But she never expected Aria to boldly tell her to get lost if she refused to put her thumbprint down.People were already staring, whispering sharply as her shame rose like heat on her skin. She didn’t know what to do. All she could manage was to look at Aria with a stiff expression that showed just how agitated she was.“Are you telling me to leave?” Becca asked, her voice slightly trembling. She took a step forward, searching Aria’s face. “You mean you’re asking me to walk out of this party? And if I turn around to leave, you woul
155. Do As I Say!
Aria’s eyes met Perry’s in that instant, and everything in that moment made Perry feel as if Aria was already insulting him. He couldn’t take any more from her. If it were entirely up to him, he would have walked out of that premises without a second thought.The way Aria spoke to him was something he had never experienced in his life. No one had ever talked to him like that. And with what she just said now, he was completely puzzled.He wanted to react.“What on earth are you talking about right here, huh?” Perry snapped.But before he could say anything further, Becca quickly stepped in front of him.“What exactly do you want? I already apologized and even had my fingerprint there. You confirmed it yourself. And it’s not like you don’t know who we are. You already know who we are and what exactly we’re doing here, so I’m curious—why are you trying to play all these unnecessary games?!” Perry demanded, frustration tightening his voice.Aria shook her head slowly.“I already told you,
156. She Is Here
Perry still glared at Becca, his anger rising with every breath. He didn’t understand why she insisted he should do all of this. But because she asked him, and because she promised to explain her reasons after the thumbprint, he swallowed his pride and forced himself to do what was necessary.He turned to Aria, the anger still burning in his eyes. Pride tightened his chest, making the simple act of apologizing impossible. So, instead of giving a proper response, he twisted the whole situation into something that looked like a comedy.“Let’s say your black magic worked out perfectly,” he said, forcing a laugh. “I’ve been influenced by it, and because the Winters are known for maintaining peaceful relationships and obeying rules and regulations, we will do as you said. Just so peace can reign.”Aria smiled, shaking her head slightly. “Nobody asked for your opinion on your reason for doing this. Nobody really asked. Why not put your thumbprint and pass? You’re delaying other people from
157. Permission To Ask!
Marvin’s heart palpitated. He wanted to hear exactly who that man was. He wanted to see him clearly and understand the relationship Aria had with him. As the two of them stared at the young man standing beside Aisha, Marvin snapped Aria out of her thoughts.“Miss Acostas, you were saying something about that guy,” he said.Aria jolted back to reality. She narrowed her eyes at him briefly before the confusion on her face returned.“Yes, I know him,” she replied. “I know that guy standing there. He is our personnel at the headquarters.”Marvin blinked. “Your personnel at the headquarters?”“Yes. He works as a janitor, precisely,” she explained, brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “You see, I rarely speak to him. I don’t even know him personally, but I am very sure he works in our company.”Marvin stared at her, already finding the whole thing more difficult to understand. His brows pulled together as the situation grew stranger with every passing second.Did Aria just say th
