182. The Evidence!
After Chloe finished speaking, a heavy silence fell over the room.All eyes shifted to Aria.Everyone waited to see what her next move would be. Would she finally present the evidence she kept claiming to have? Or would she, at the very least, prove herself innocent just as she had boldly declared?They were waiting for the big words.Waiting for the big proof Aria insisted would confirm that she was still the rightful heiress of the Acosta family.But did she even have any proof at all?That was the question Chloe asked herself as she watched Aria closely, her lips curling into a mocking smile.“Oh? You’re not saying anything?” Chloe scoffed, breaking the silence. “Why is that? Are you clueless now? Or is it because you don’t have any proof to support your claims?”She didn’t give Aria the chance to respond before continuing, her voice sharp and cutting.“Just give up already, Aria. You have nothing to say and nothing to prove. So why don’t you stop embarrassing yourself and quit bla
181. Prove It!
Hearing what Aria had just said, a wave of stunned murmurs rippled through the hall. Many of the guests were visibly wowed. However, that reaction did not include Olga, Chloe, or the Winters family.Suddenly, Chloe burst into loud laughter.She clapped her hands mockingly and turned to the guests around her.“Did you all hear what she just said?” she asked, still laughing. “She said she is the CEO of Acosta Group and still the standing heiress of this family.” She shook her head in disbelief. “Did you hear that? She is such a clown, isn’t she? Hahaha…”Her laughter came to an abrupt halt as she faced Aria again, her expression hardening.“You are not just stupid, Aria,” Chloe said coldly. “You are also dumb.”A few guests exchanged looks, and some even giggled awkwardly, but Chloe did not stop.“I can’t believe you are so foolish that you think you can fool all of us,” she continued, her voice sharp with ridicule. “Are you really that stupid, huh?”Olga immediately stepped forward, cl
180. I Haven't Lost Anything
Melanie froze, shock spreading across her face as Chloe’s words sank in.Melanie’s eyes widened as she stepped closer to Chloe.“What are you talking about, Chloe?” she asked, her voice edged with disbelief. “Don’t you realize what you’ve done? You’re encouraging her to marry Tyler and go ahead with this marriage, knowing fully well what she will lose because of it. Why are you encouraging her instead of stopping her?”Chloe turned to her with a scoff. “You’ve already asked me this question before, Melanie, and I gave you a reasonable answer then. If you’re asking it again, that’s fine. I’ll give you the same response I gave you in the past.”She turned sharply toward Aria, her tone turning deliberately rude. “Since Aria wants to ruin her life and marry an idiot, we shouldn’t force her. In fact, I approve of this marriage. Let them get married and go live together in hell.”A stunned silence followed her words, but Chloe was far from finished.“If she truly wants to go through with th
179. End It All!
This was exactly what Olga was turning over in her mind.She knew she had to choose carefully, especially in a situation as delicate as this. Either way, she stood to gain, but only if she played her cards right.Her thoughts twisted as she weighed both options.If she allowed Aria to marry Tyler, she would still benefit greatly. Once Aria became Tyler’s wife, she would be forced to give up possession of the property. That would give Olga the upper hand and an even faster path to taking control of everything that belonged to Aria.Yet the other option was just as tempting.If Aria married Brantley instead, the outcome would still favor her. Aria would immediately lose her position as the President of all Acosta properties, and on top of that, Olga would walk away with a billion dollars.Olga’s lips slowly curved into a faint, thoughtful smile.No matter which path Aria chose, she would not be the one losing. The only thing left was deciding which option would serve her best in the end

As Karen asked the question, Chris chose silence.He did not say a word.First, there was no reason for him to lie. Karen already knew why he had gone to the hospital. Secondly, denying it made no sense because he needed the money as well.So Chris remained quiet.But there was someone who was deeply concerned about everything and how it had even happened.Ava! She was troubled by the entire situation. Hearing that Chris had gone to see Zack alone was already shocking enough. What unsettled her even more was the claim that he had gone there to cure Zack’s mother in exchange for one billion dollars.That sounded unbelievable.At least, not for the Chris she knew.Chris hated Zack. The last thing he would ever do was something that would benefit him. So how was it possible that he went there willingly?Unable to hold back any longer, Ava stepped closer to Chris, ready to question him herself.But Chris stayed quiet, as if he was not ready to explain anything to any of them yet.Kare

Chris walked back home with excitement buzzing through his veins. He was so close to hitting the jackpot.He was just a step away from getting what he wanted without ever revealing to the world that he was the Dragon Lord.FALCON GROUP was almost back in his hands.Everything had been going smoothly. He had been this close to reclaiming it all, until Zack suddenly decided to act tough.Chris did not mind.In fact, he found it amusing.One thing he was absolutely sure of was that no matter what happened, Zack would still reach out to him in the end. And when that time came, Zack would taste bitterness.Even if FALCON was not transferred to him immediately, Chris would still win. Zack would lose someone precious to him. And if Patricia survived, then the FALCON empire would eventually return to its rightful owner.Either way, it was a ‘win-win’ situation for Chris.Lost in his celebration of a success he was yet to see, Chris stepped up to the door and knocked happily.Before a min
