213. Don't You Dare!
As Becca spoke, Aria’s gaze slowly raked over her from head to toe, sharp and cutting. She had no desire to pick a fight—she already knew exactly where one with Becca would lead.But Becca touching her—grabbing her, even dragging her back so shamelessly—was something Aria would never tolerate.The anger burning in her chest finally spilled over. Aria turned sharply toward Becca and shoved her hand away with force.“How dare you touch me like that?” she snapped, her voice cold and lethal. “Do you have a death wish?”Becca froze, clearly taken aback by the sudden fury in Aria’s eyes.“Listen to me, Becca,” Aria continued, stepping closer, her tone hard and unwavering. “I know exactly how people like you behave. I know you’re just looking for a way to comfort yourself—to convince yourself that you didn’t lose anything after divorcing Tyler.”Her lips curved into a bitter smile.“But let me remind you of something. You didn’t just lose many things. You lost the chance to be cared for by a

Zack scoffed instantly. He still couldn’t believe his eyes.Chris—the very man standing before him—was the person they had been waiting for all this time. And what made it even worse was the fact that he dared to call himself a Divine Doctor, claiming to be the only one capable of saving his mother’s life.Fury surged through Zack. Feeling like he had wasted a ridiculous amount of time waiting for someone as insignificant as Chris, he slammed his hand hard against the table.“You mean to tell me this man is the person I’ve been burning my patience for?” Zack snapped, turning sharply to the doctor.“Do you even know who I am or the kind of situation I’m in? And you still allowed someone like him to walk in here and call himself a divine doctor? Are you joking with me?”The doctor opened his mouth to speak “You see, I was just—”….But Chris cut him off.“No need to trouble yourself, Doctor. I’ll explain everything to Mr. Leonard myself.”“Whatever you have to say, Chris, I’m not inte

That question was one Chloe could never underrate. It was far too crucial to her, and the moment Lu Chen asked it, excitement ignited deep within her. As she stared at him, Chloe realized this was like being handed an open cheque—say what you want, and it will be done. At that moment, she knew she had to give Lu Chen at least an idea of what she desired. Yet whatever was running through her mind was exactly what Lu Chen feared to hear. He had no idea what Chloe was about to say in response to his question. The suspense gnawed at him, and the thought of her answer alone was enough to make his heart tighten with dread. As the silence stretched, Chloe stepped a few feet away from him. “You asked me what I want, right?” she said calmly. But Lu Chen didn’t respond. “I won’t stress you over it, Lu Chen. I’ll go straight to the point.” “I don’t have all day here, Chloe,” he snapped impatiently. “Just say it already. What the heck do you need?” “Money!” Chloe replied instantly.

As soon as the car drove off, Aria was left standing there, confusion burning fiercely in her chest. She stared at the empty road, her eyes fixed on the spot where the vehicle had disappeared, as if it might somehow return with answers.Unbidden, Mrs. Brett’s words echoed in her mind—every sentence, every warning she had spoken earlier. No matter how hard Aria tried, she couldn’t understand them. What did Mrs. Brett mean when she said Olga was pretending to be someone she was not? And how could she claim that Olga didn’t love her the way Aria believed she did?Aria pressed her lips together, trying to reason it all out, but the pieces refused to fit. No matter how many times she replayed the conversation in her head, she found no logical way to connect the dots. All it did was leave her more unsettled than before.She knew—deep in her heart—that Olga loved her. She was certain of it. After everything that had happened that day—the humiliation, the whispered accusations, and all that h
