Chapter 48

Author: Cloud Drop
"Mr. Spencer, what is your relationship with Miss Linda Landon?"

"Has Miss Landon passed away? What was the cause of death?"

"Is Miss Jackson connected to Miss Landon's death?"

Each word stabbed at Larry's heart.

The first-floor lounge had one-way glass, through which the entire scene could be clearly observed.

Inside, the atmosphere was wrapped in a quiet artistic ambience. In the corner, a handsome man sat silently on the sofa, his almond eyes deep and captivating, as if they held countless untold stories.

He leaned against the sofa, playing with an exquisite jade thumb ring. The smooth jade stone gave off a soft glow in the light.

His eyes held intense curiosity as his gaze lifted toward the glass windows outside, a smile curving at his lips.

This was William Luther, the art world's most sought-after figure.

William and Archer were old acquaintances. Duncan Enterprises had collaborated with William before. The West District design rights hadn't been given to William only bec

    "Miss Chancer speaks so crudely, and in a place like Grandview no less. Aren't you afraid of being overheard?" Aria looked at her coldly, her hands hidden in her skirt already clenched into trembling fists.She had already registered her marriage with Archer, and he had taken her to the old mansion on the very day they got their certificate. She understood and trusted him not to do such despicable things, but Fifi's confident words still made her deeply uncomfortable, as if something was gnawing at her heart, causing sharp pain."Heh, I speak to different people differently. When facing a slut, I'm afraid even if I spoke nicely, you wouldn't understand!" Fifi crossed her arms over her chest, looking Aria up and down with disdain."Seeing you suddenly reminds me—my cousin's blind date today is with Miss Williams, who seems to be a relative from your mother's side! Kandice Williams, isn't she your cousin?"Ever since the Jackson family went bankrupt, Rachel's relatives had been afrai

    Grandview's service had always been excellent, so even though the manager was particularly respectful to Aria, it didn't arouse suspicion from James or Rachel.When the dishes were served, Rachel could estimate the prices from what she saw. After the waitstaff left, she couldn't help but feel distressed again. Only after Aria repeatedly assured her that she could really afford it and that Larry had provided substantial compensation did Rachel stop worrying.Though she voiced concern, Rachel and James were genuinely happy eating.The two hadn't properly enjoyed themselves in years. They used to dine at Grandview without a care, but now they had to worry about prices, which made Aria's heart ache.Now tasting those familiar flavors and feelings again, James and Rachel's faces showed both nostalgia and melancholy.Aria couldn't help thinking of Archer, feeling grateful for his thoughtfulness.Yes, it was Archer who had given her a supplementary card.Thinking of this, Aria felt war

    Aria's cheeks flushed red as Archer's strong arms tightened around her, holding her like a soft doll.She propped herself up on the bed beside him, trying to struggle upward. "Let me get up first."But Archer held her even tighter, suddenly rolling over to pin her beneath him, pressing against her soft body, burying his face in the crook of her neck to breathe in her scent while scattering tender, burning kisses."Stay and sleep with me a little longer," he said with his face buried in her neck, his soft, warm lips brushing against her skin along with his newly grown stubble, making her feel ticklish with a hint of pleasant pain.He seemed still a bit drowsy from just waking up."You forgot—I need to see my mom today. It's her birthday," Aria said, her breathing irregular."..." Archer said nothing, his thin, warm lips moving up from her neck to the corner of her mouth, pecking a few times before moving to her cheek, the corner of her eye, her eyelids, her forehead, then down alo

    "I remember... but... are we really going to sleep together?"Aria spoke haltingly, as if she couldn't believe Archer really intended to do this."Did you forget that we're husband and wife, legally married?"Archer's hand gently brushed past her ear, his dark eyes looking at her had lost their initial coldness, hiding an unpredictable obsession in their depths."Whether we sleep together or not is your choice. I won't force you."His voice remained gentle. Aria paused, but at this moment found it hard to refuse.She looked up at the man before her, feeling as if her heart was melting bit by bit."Why use the word 'force'?" She tugged at Archer's sleeve. "We're already husband and wife, aren't we?""Husband and wife should sleep together," she said in an almost whispered voice.She didn't notice the man's gaze growing even deeper as he watched her."Alright, let's sleep together."It wasn't until the man embraced her and pressed her onto the bed for a kiss that she felt a bi

    After Archer and Aria returned home, while Aria was showering, Archer received a call from home—it was Grace calling."Archer, come to Grandview tomorrow," Grace said."Tomorrow?" Archer remained calm."Yes, I was playing cards today and heard that Grandview recently hired a three-Michelin-star chef who's developed many new dishes. You haven't been home in a while, so let's get together tomorrow and try the new cuisine at Grandview ." Grace held the phone, nervously waiting for Archer's response. This son of hers was too sharp—she was afraid he'd detect something amiss.Archer narrowed his eyes, guessing they were probably arranging some kind of blind date for him.His mother might not know about his marriage, but she likely knew about his close relationship with Aria. Someone at Grandview last night probably saw them and went back to gossip.But since Grace wasn't bringing it up directly, he'd play dumb too."Alright, I'll come over tomorrow," Archer agreed.Just as Grace was

    At the Royal Gardens where the Duncans lived, Grace Chancer had already had tea prepared. Normally she would be going to bed at this hour, but Fifi's phone call made it seem like something quite important.As soon as Fifi arrived, she mysteriously dismissed the servants and spoke privately with Archer's mother, Grace."Aunt Grace, Uncle Robert, I feel I must tell you about this. My cousin has a girlfriend!" Fifi said dramatically."What's the problem with that?" Grace cleverly picked up on Fifi's implication. She had always been fond of Fifi, and seeing her so serious made her a bit worried."My cousin's girlfriend is Aria Jackson," Fifi said.Grace's hand holding the teacup paused for a moment, trembling almost imperceptibly before quickly steadying."Aria Jackson? You mean the one I'm thinking of?" Grace's expression became serious.Aria and Larry's divorce had been such a big scandal that Grace naturally knew about it.As a mother, she naturally felt her son deserved the fin
