Chapter 304

Author: Cloud Drop
Aria glanced at him worriedly but still nodded, obedient as ever. She turned and walked upstairs, pausing every few steps to look back.

Eventually, Grace followed Archer into the study. Watching her poised, refined son, she never imagined the day would come when he’d protect a woman like this—so fiercely that he wouldn’t let her suffer even the smallest slight.

But the moment he faced her, his warmth vanished. That soft tenderness he showed Aria was gone, replaced by his usual indifference. Grace couldn’t help but feel a pang of resentment. After all, she’d carried him for ten months and endured the pain of childbirth. And now he was this cold, detached man—even toward his own mother.

Fine.

Even if he had been raised by that monster, he was still born from her womb.

How could he be this heartless?

“What’s so important you can’t say it in front of Aria?” Grace demanded, glaring at him.

“You might want to sit down first.” Archer motioned to the couch along the wall. “Or at least

    “Did you come back just for me?” Aria asked softly. “I didn’t mean to interrupt your work.”“No,” Archer replied, pressing a light kiss to her forehead. “I was planning to head back around now anyway. And didn’t you tell me to come home earlier? I remembered.”Aria suddenly frowned. “Wait… did you skip dinner?”Before he could answer, she sat up. Judging by the time, it was clear he hadn’t eaten.“You’ve been smoking and drinking on an empty stomach?” Her brows drew together in disapproval. She pursed her lips, clearly not pleased. “Don’t do that again.”Very few people ever told Archer what not to do. And if they did, he never listened.But when she said it—he always did.Watching her fuss over him, the corners of his eyes lifted slightly with amusement.Aria was already slipping out of bed.“Where are you going?” he asked, quickly sitting up and wrapping his arms around her waist from behind. His warm hand rested against her lower belly, and he dipped his head to kiss her ba

    The real reason Archer had orchestrated the downfall of the Jackson family wasn’t about business—it was personal.Years ago, David Jackson, Aria’s father, had cheated. He had a mistress, and not just any mistress—she was the woman he truly loved.David had never married Rachel Williams for love. He’d married her for the money the Williams family provided. Back then, David had nothing. It was the Williams that funded the beginnings of his business, laying the foundation for the Jackson family’s fortune.At home, he played the role of a devoted husband and loving father. But it was all an act.After learning that his mistress had given birth to a son and a daughter, he began quietly shifting his assets. The reason the Jackson family never truly rose to power? Because David never intended for it to. From the very beginning, he was planning to hand everything—company, properties, even the prime land in West District—to his secret family.When Archer made his move, David had already st

    He sat there, expression dark and unreadable. His face, already sharp and severe when unsmiling, now carried a depth that made him seem completely unapproachable.White smoke curled upward through his pale, elegant fingers, softening his features in a hazy veil.When he sensed her approaching, Archer’s eyelids twitched slightly. He stubbed out the cigarette, picked up the teacup she’d used earlier, and took a sip—trying to mask the lingering scent of smoke on his breath.“What did you and your mum talk about?” Aria asked softly, settling beside him like she always did when she was trying to be good. Barefoot, she curled her legs onto the couch and looped her arms around his strong arm, leaning in to catch a faint whiff of tobacco clinging to him.But Archer’s gaze drifted to her bare feet. He glanced at the floor—no slippers in sight. His brows drew together. “Why are you walking around barefoot?”It was summer, but the air conditioning was on, and the marble floor in the living r

    Archer didn’t respond to Grace’s question. He squinted slightly and took a slow drag from his cigarette.“We never needed anything from the Jacksons’ company,” Grace muttered. “Even taking them down… what was the point?” Her throat burned as she spoke, and her chest ached like something was lodged there. She rubbed at her heart, trying to catch her breath.“I may not know the ins and outs of business, but even I understand this—bringing down a company doesn’t happen overnight.”She looked down again at the documents, her eyes flinching away like they’d been burned.“That means you’d been planning this for a long time. Why?” Her voice dropped. Her left hand gripped the couch tightly, her fingertips sinking into the fabric as she tried to stand—only to realize she had no strength left.Archer exhaled a thin ribbon of smoke, the corner of his lips curling in faint mockery. “That has nothing to do with you.”His icy dismissal made her flinch. Her expression shifted, pale and drawn. A

    “You’ve never stopped to think about how this affects Archer? Do you really think being with you will do any good for his reputation?” Grace took a deep breath to steady her frustration. “You claim to love him so much—then how can you stand seeing him mocked and talked about behind his back? He’s always carried himself with pride, and now, because of you, he’ll become the target of ridicule and judgment. Is this how you show you love him?”“I believe—” Aria lifted her gaze, eyes calm but firm. “He doesn’t care. He wouldn’t care what people say about him. A man as smart as Archer… don’t you think he’s already thought through everything he’d have to face by being with me? Probably more thoroughly than either of us ever could. If he cared about all that, he wouldn’t have chosen me in the first place.“I’ve been married before, and if he can overlook that, do you really think he’d be swayed by what others might say?“If he were the kind of man who let people’s opinions dictate his actio
