Gavin, walking a little ways behind the women, also glanced at Thalya and Clara for a while before unconsciously teasing Arya beside him. "Clara Anastasia... I never expected that girl would still be the same as before. Judging by the way she looks at you, could this be what I'm thinking? An old flame finally blooming again?" "An old flame blooming again?" Arya fell silent, glancing at him with disgust before replying, "Do you want me to help you sew your mouth shut." "Haha..." Gavin let out a dry laugh, continuing in a playful tone, "Come on, don't act all high and mighty. You know... before the yellow mushroom curls, anything can happen. Considering that little girl's mother still hasn't been found, who knows what might happen in the future? Don't you want to give your daughter a mother?" "Ara already has a mother." It wasn't Arya who answered, but the little girl herself, who suddenly spoke up, glaring at

"Calvin Harris!" Clara, who had been passive up until now, suddenly shouted angrily at Calvin, "Didn't I already tell you we're just not right for each other? What do you mean by saying a man with a wife—" "No way!" Diana, hearing Calvin's explanation, suddenly interrupted with shock, cutting Clara off. With a stunned, disbelieving look on her face, she quickly asked Clara, "Did you decide to break up with Calvin? What's going on here? Didn't I already tell you Calvin was the right man for you? So what did you do? You threw away a good, wealthy, and established man like him, right after running into Arya again." "Can you believe it! He already has a wife and kid! Before it's too late, hurry up and apologize to Calvin. Don't end up regretting this later." "Ana... you...?" Hearing all of this, Clara suddenly fell silent, staring at her best friend for a long moment before finally feeling a wave o

"Don't play dumb! Don't you realize that you showing up now is making Clara sad?" Diana said again angrily, seeing Arya's innocent expression. "Me? What exactly did I do?" Instead of understanding, Arya only grew more confused by the anger Diana was showing. What did she mean, him showing up here was making Clara sad? Arya couldn't help but glance toward Clara, who now looked gloomy, her head bowed, whether out of sadness or embarrassment, a few creases forming on her forehead. "Damn it!" Seeing that Arya still didn't understand what he'd done wrong, Diana started shouting even louder, "Do you seriously not know that Clara still has feelings for you, and was hoping to be with you?! But what did you do? You rejected her from the very start, and then vanished without a word for five years! Never once giving an explanation or any word at all, and then suddenly showing up out of nowhere flaunting another woman! A

Thalya truly never imagined that, even in her wildest thoughts, things would spiral into something this absurd! Not only had her mission to acquire Arya's belongings failed, but she had failed so badly that she herself was now being "bought" by someone else! This was something Thalya had never once dared to imagine happening, not even in her wildest dreams. But what could she possibly do? Judging by Arya's reaction toward the dragon bones, it was certain that her main objective had completely failed. And this failure would surely have a serious impact on her standing within the family. On top of that, with Arya now making her serve as the go-between for the Wijaya Family, everything had turned into a complete mess. With these three problems piling up, even though Thalya was clever and had connections and resources across several c

Thalya's face instantly turned pale, fear and panic beginning to take hold of her heart. Every word and sentence Arya spoke felt like a bolt of lightning scrambling her thoughts. And this Grandmaster's anger seemed to be something she simply couldn't withstand at all, leaving her frightened and breaking into a cold sweat. Recalling all the help and assistance Arya had given her over time, Thalya finally realized that she had gone too far in how she'd handled this whole matter. Not only had she never once thanked him, but she had also constantly been trying to squeeze benefits out of him. Perhaps because in all the time they'd known each other, Thalya had never once seen Arya truly angry with her, she'd come to think this man was probably the type who cared more about beauty than anything else. But it seemed she'd been wrong—terribly wrong. This man clearly didn't care at all whether you were beautiful or handsome—if you made him angry, you would always face the consequences. Just

"Umh..." Both Thalya and Arya fell silent at once upon hearing the little girl's words. Thalya, in particular, immediately lowered her head, not daring to look up or offer any explanation. The woman, looking embarrassed and guilty, quietly bowed her head and ate the breakfast in front of her. Naturally, Arya, watching all of this, began glaring at her with anger and disgust. What a careless woman! Blurting out filthy words without any restraint in front of a child—didn't she realize that every action and word of hers would be imitated by children? It had to be understood that a child's every action and word always reflected their parents' influence. If children heard inappropriate things from a young age, it wouldn't be strange for them to do the same once they grew up. It wasn't even impossible for them to start imitating such behavior while still young. Arya, who was now trying to raise his daughter properly and carefully, would never do such a thing himself. But this woman
