207. Know Your Foes!
Aria nodded. “Of course, Granny. Let’s go.” Before leaving, she turned back and glanced at Tyler, giving him a brief but meaningful look—one that carried more than words ever could. Around them, most of the others had already lost interest. The drama they had been feeding on had come to an end, and they gradually returned to their own business, while a few remained quietly observant. However, the silent exchange between Aria and Tyler did not go unnoticed. Chloe saw it. And that single moment of eye contact was enough to ignite her anger. She couldn’t bear what was happening right in front of her. The look Aria gave Tyler was filled with confidence—assurance that everything was under control. And seeing Aria offer Tyler that kind of reassurance made Chloe furious to her core. She couldn’t stand it. The longer she stayed there, the more her anger grew. The longer she watched them share those subtle smiles, the more her jealousy intensified. Memories of Aria’s untouched success
206. A Private Chat?
Olga’s inquiry seemed to have hooked the old lady completely. For a moment, it was as though Mrs. Brett did not know what response to give. She paused, her silence stretching long enough to draw attention—not just from Olga, but from everyone else present who was now eagerly anticipating her reply.Chloe, too, found herself growing increasingly curious.What exactly did Mrs. Brett mean by her words? And what did she intend when she said she would handle Aria by herself?As these questions lingered in their minds, Mrs. Brett suddenly shifted the mood. With a deliberate movement and a calm but calculated expression, she stylishly dragged their attention away from her earlier statement.“What I meant by my words,” she began firmly, “is something strictly private. And if I were to handle Aria, I would do it by myself. I don’t need to tell anybody what I have in mind or how I intend to do it.”Her response was not what Olga—or anyone else in that place—had been hoping to hear. Instead of c
205. I Will Handle Aria
Olga didn’t give a response to the question.Why would she even respond when she already knew the answer deep in her heart?The truth was painfully clear to her. There was nothing she could do, because there was no possible way Tyler would ever become rich. That belief had already settled firmly in her mind, and no amount of words could shake it.She even answered Mrs. Brett silently, her thoughts sharp and unforgiving.There is nothing I can do because Tyler can never be rich. He is poor, and there is absolutely nothing that can change that. So there is no need to worry. Nothing to worry about at all. He is never going to be rich. There is no such thing as “what if he is hiding his identity.” He is just poor and dumb as hell.A few of the guests nearby couldn’t hold it in. Soft giggles escaped them, some covering their mouths, others exchanging amused glances.But Mrs. Brett didn’t seem affected in the slightest.She merely shrugged her shoulders calmly, her face unreadable as she sp
204. Never Underestimate The Poor!
Hearing what Olga said, murmurs spread through the lounge like a restless wave. People leaned toward one another, whispering behind raised hands. While some believed Olga had gone too far, others nodded in agreement, their expressions filled with quiet approval. Opinions clashed in low voices, but it quickly became clear which side carried more weight.Those who supported Olga were far more than those who opposed her. Many of them believed her words made sense. In their eyes, Tyler’s mentality was just as low as his status, and that belief fueled their support. A few even wore smug smiles, as if they had been waiting for someone to finally say it out loud.Among them all, Tyler’s ex-wife stood out the most. She did not try to hide her joy. Her lips curved into a satisfied smile as she listened, her eyes shining with delight. It felt as though Olga’s words were a gift to her, some sort of glory she gladly accepted. Seeing Tyler being spoken down on always brought her happiness. It was
203. Mentality Matters!
Olga’s confidence had been high only a second ago, but the sudden vibration of her phone stole the air from her lungs. Her breath hitched before she could stop it, and the small reaction did not go unnoticed.It immediately stirred suspicion among the people in the room, especially Aria. From the start, Aria had believed her aunt was hiding something big, and now this call only strengthened that thought. This was not an ordinary phone call. She was sure of it.But how could she prove it?Aria had no evidence. Nothing solid to point to. So all she could do was watch carefully and wait, allowing Olga to reveal the truth herself by answering the call.Mrs. Brett was the first to speak up.“Well?” she said, eyeing Olga closely. “What’s the big deal about the phone call? Just pick it up.”Olga tightened her grip around the phone. She forced her shoulders to relax, masking the unease crawling under her skin. The last thing she wanted was for them to see the caller’s name, let alone hear a s
202. Who Is On The Line?
Hearing what Olga said, Mrs. Brett chuckled softly. She had not expected such words from Olga, but since they had already been spoken, she felt obliged to respond.She shook her head slowly, then lifted her gaze to meet Olga’s eyes. Her voice was calm, clear, and deliberate as she spoke.“You have misunderstood my words, Olga. What I said was not meant in the way you are taking it. It was simply a word of advice. I made that utterance not because I wished for it to happen, but so your daughter would be careful and understand what her actions could lead to. I did not wish her death, nor would I ever wish such a thing upon her. I am not the kind of person who makes such wishes.”She paused briefly, then continued, her tone firm but composed.“So I am curious, what exactly do you want me to say? I have already given an example of what I want your daughter to be fully aware of. If she is truly as intelligent as she claims to be, then she should be able to gain at least a little wisdom fro
