As Olga said those words to Aria, Aria instantly pretended as though she knew absolutely nothing about what was happening. She even acted shocked, as if this was the very first time Auntie Olga had ever spoken to her in such a rude and disrespectful manner.But guess who didn’t give a damn?Olga.Without sparing Aria another glance, Olga dragged Chloe out of the lounge, gripping her tightly even as Chloe struggled and shouted loudly.“Let go of me! Where are you taking me, Mom? Just let go of me already!”But no matter how much Chloe protested, Olga refused to release her grip.She continued dragging her daughter along until they finally reached an empty room. The moment they got inside, Olga shoved Chloe in and slammed the door shut behind them.Chloe nearly stumbled onto the bed from the force, but she quickly steadied herself. Brushing her hair back irritably, she turned to face her mother.“Mom, what exactly is your problem?” she snapped. “Why did you drag me in here? And on top o

The moment Chloe saw Brantley, she rushed into his arms and hugged him tightly.Without hesitation, Brantley pulled her even closer and kissed her passionately.As their lips met, Olga felt a wave of irritation surge through her veins.She couldn't bear the sight of a man like Brantley kissing her daughter right in front of her. Unable to hold back any longer, she stormed toward them and forcefully pulled them apart.“Enough of this nonsense!” Olga screamed at the top of her voice. “I said enough of this bullshit!”Brantley only smirked arrogantly while Chloe calmly brushed her hair back into place.“And what exactly is the problem, Mrs. Acosta?” Brantley asked mockingly. “Why are you acting like this? Why can’t you just let me do what I want, huh?”“You are a monster, Brantley!” Olga snapped angrily. “And I will never allow you to ruin my daughter’s life the same way you—”“Can we stop with this embarrassing drama already?” Brantley cut her off coldly.“Your daughter fell in love wit

“Aria?”Olga couldn't believe her eyes.After leaving the kitchen earlier, Aria had returned again?But why? And of all the moments she could have chosen to come back, why immediately after Olga had left the kitchen?Olga's eyes remained fixed on the surveillance system in front of her, refusing to miss even the slightest movement.She wanted to see.She needed to know exactly what Aria had come there to do.Her gaze stayed sharp and focused as she monitored every single step Aria took.If Aria moved to the right, Olga's eyes followed her instantly.If she turned to the left, Olga tracked her movement without hesitation.And when Aria suddenly stopped moving, Olga's attention remained completely locked on her.At that moment, Olga's heart pounded violently inside her chest.Why was Aria just standing there?Why wasn't she making a move?And the worst part of it all was...Why were Aria's eyes fixed on the glass of wine?The exact same glass Olga had spiked earlier.Olga's heart began

As the guests gradually filled the hall, eagerly waiting for the celebrant to make an appearance and address them, Aria and Tyler sat together, sipping their drinks. From the way they laughed softly and exchanged glances, it looked as though they were genuinely enjoying each other’s company.Then, all of a sudden, Aria broke the silence.“Thank you, Tyler. It was all because of you that I am safe today.”Tyler smiled faintly as she swirled the drink in her glass.“I hope you now understand the kind of people you call your family.”Aria fell silent immediately, her expression turning complicated.ONE HOUR AGO…Before Aria arrived at Brantley’s birthday party, she had received a phone call from Tyler. However, out of anger and frustration, Aria harshly warned Tyler never to disturb her again.Still deeply uneasy about the possibility of Aria attending the party and eventually getting her drink spiked with a love potion, Tyler refused to give up on reaching her.He dialed her number cou
