“Well, we can’t tell that for a fact,” Gloria said calmly. “And furthermore, it’s none of our business. What matters is that Aria is about to make an announcement. Let’s watch and see what she has to say.”Immediately after Gloria’s words, Aria’s voice echoed from the stage.“Can I have all of your attention once again, everyone?”Heads turned.

He believed every thought he had was already coming to pass.He stood to gain so many things the moment Ariana’s husband would be announced, if the rumor turned out to be true.

Aria ended the call with Tyler and lifted her eyes to her mother. She gave her a small smile. “Come on, my dear. What are you waiting for?” Olga said, tugging a fake smile across her lips. Aria returned the smile, though hers didn’t reach her eyes. Olga clapped her hands together and said, “Don’t keep us waiting, my dear! Ladies and gentlemen, please put in more applause for my beautiful daughter as she makes her way here!” The crowd clapped louder. Aria stepped into the limelight, taking slow, confident steps until she reached the stage. Once she got there, she smiled warmly at everyone. “Thank you all.

When the room settled into silence, Aria continued speaking. “First of all, I would love to appreciate every one of you for honoring my invitation and making it here today.

Immediately after Mr. Wade ended the call, Aria dropped her phone with a sharp exhale.Marvin hurried toward her, worry written all over his face.“Who was that you were talking to?” he asked, stopping right in front of her. “Is he connected to what we’re doing?”Aria nodded once, steady and certain. “His name is Wade Charles. He’s fully aware of everything.”Marvin blinked. “Wade Charles?”“Yes,” she replied, adjusting her posture as she spoke. “He’s the one I contracted to investigate the biometric data of everyone who attended my party.”She lifted her phone again as if confirming her own thoughts, then continued. “I already arranged it with him.
