235. Time To Move The Plan Forward
The smile on Olga’s face vanished the moment Chloe made her demand.Split the money in two?Her mind raced. How was that even possible? She was supposed to have half—and give the other half to Chloe? The thought made her stomach churn.Olga brushed a trembling hand through her hair, the memory striking her like a lightning bolt: this was exactly why she had kept Brantley’s gift a secret from her daughter. She had been certain that the moment Chloe learned about the money, demands would follow.And now, here it was.If she didn’t ask for her share, Chloe would inevitably demand something else—something even more outrageous. Olga knew her daughter too well. Anything Chloe wanted, she would insist on having. And that was precisely what Olga had been trying to avoid all along.But now? The harsh reality had come crashing down, slapping her right across the face. She had no plan, no words ready to make the situation seem less… disastrous.So she did the only thing she could think of: she p
234. Split The Money Into Two!
Chloe pinched herself. Does her mother really think she’s a fool? Asking how she had found out about the lies?But Chloe was smart—smart enough to know when someone was lying and when they were telling the truth.Earlier, after hearing her mother scream for help, Chloe had dashed from her room straight to her mother’s room. Heart hammering, she burst through the door.Her mother looked terrified. “Chloe… Tyler… he tried to… to—” Her voice cracked as she struggled to form the words.Chloe froze. Tried to what? Rape her?Her mind raced. The story didn’t make sense. First, she had been shocked, then instinctively, her gaze flicked toward Tyler. What could he possibly want with her mother? Was it because she was young?Chloe’s hatred for Tyler surged, hot and unrelenting. Without thinking, she forced herself to believe it. Maybe he had tried. Maybe… maybe it was true.Her mother’s trembling hand reached out. “Chloe… you have to believe me…”Chloe swallowed hard, fighting the doubt clawing
233. How Did You Learn The Truth?
Immediately after Aria spoke, one of the officers raised his gun and aimed it directly at Tyler’s face. His voice cut through the tense air like steel.“Mr. Tyler Hudson! You are under arrest for attempted sexual assault, physical assault, and attempted murder. You are advised to remain silent. Anything you say or do will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, the government will provide one.”He finished and turned sharply to his colleagues. “Officers, handcuff him!”Tyler froze, his heart pounding. This was real. He was actually going to jail—for crimes he didn’t commit. Rage surged through him.He shoved Chloe aside and stormed toward Aria, his eyes blazing. “Are you sure you’re really going to do this? You’re going to have me arrested?” His voice cracked, desperation seeping through every word. “You don’t believe me? Won’t you at least listen? Please, Aria… just give me a chance!”Aria didn’t flinch. Calm but resolute, s
232. Arrest Him. Now!
Seeing what had just happened, Olga’s face lit up with a triumphant smile. She had just used one Stone to kill two birds. She had eliminated Tyler from Aria’s life and, at the same time, managed to turn Aria’s mindset against him. That meant divorce would come easier, and once it did, she would be the one to nudge Aria toward Brantley. And Aria, ever eager not to hurt her feelings, would likely say yes without hesitation.As these thoughts raced through her mind, Chloe approached her mother and wrapped her in a tight hug.“Are you sure you’re okay, Mother? Don’t worry—he’s about to get arrested!” Chloe asked, her voice filled with concern.Olga dabbed at her eyes, faking more tears, and smiled through them. “Yes, my dear. He will get arrested. I just pray he doesn’t get out and do this again. What’s the probability that he won’t repeat such a crime once he’s free?”Aria turned to her aunt, determination flashing in her eyes. “You don’t have to worry about that, Auntie. I personally as
231. Totally Framed!
Tyler was dumbfounded.Words completely failed him.Where was he supposed to start explaining from? How could he even begin to tell Aria that he had absolutely no idea how that thing had ended up in his collar?Hold on…Tyler’s thoughts suddenly rewound, racing back in time. He rubbed his head slowly, forcing himself to think carefully. The earring couldn’t have magically ended up in his collar—someone had to have put it there.And if that was the case, then for Olga’s plan to work so perfectly, she must have been the one who did it.His mind drifted further back, replaying the memory he had almost forgotten. He remembered the moment clearly now—when he had tried to stop Olga from hitting him, and she shoved him away.That was it.Maybe it was during that brief struggle, when she pushed him, that she had secretly pinned one of her earrings onto his collar.The realization hit him hard.She must have planned to use it as proof later. Yet she never mentioned the earring herself—because
230. YES OR NO?
As Olga’s voice echoed through the room, tears streamed down her face. She clutched her heaving chest, her face flushed a deep red as she staggered closer to Aria. Her grief was raw, unrestrained.“That’s enough already, Aria,” Olga cried, her voice breaking. “Enough of you trying to defend him. Enough of you exhausting yourself to protect Tyler when every single piece of evidence points straight at him!”Aria opened her mouth, panic flickering across her face. She didn’t want to be misunderstood—she needed to explain herself—but her aunt didn’t give her the chance.“It’s been how many years now?” Olga continued, tears spilling faster as she shook her head. “Over twenty years since you could rightfully call me the one who took care of you.” She pressed a trembling hand to her chest. “Tell me, Aria—have I ever lied to you? Even once?”Aria swallowed hard and shook her head. “No.”Olga’s sob deepened. “Have I ever tried to make you a fool?”“No,” Aria answered again, her voice barely ab
