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
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
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
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
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
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
