As we left the restaurant, Lillian couldn't hold back anymore."Were they messing with us?" she fumed, her face flushed with anger. "They sounded so reasonable on the phone, but then face-to-face they basically accused us of extortion!""Do I look like I need their pathetic money?" I snapped, my hand clenching around my purse strap. "Extortion? Really? Is my middle-of-the-night emergency room visit only worth a thousand dollars to them?"The medical expenses had exceeded a thousand because Lillian had called an ambulance and I'd been rushed to the emergency room.Meanwhile, Aiden had taken me to the hospital separately for additional tests, though I hadn't stayed in the ER, which came to about seven or eight hundred dollars. Add our meal cost of several hundred, and the restaurant's total compensation offer didn't even reach twenty-five hundred dollars.That was their idea of taking responsibility.While I wasn't as visibly angry as Lill

Too Late, Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now Chapter 262 Which day?
Aria's POVI felt incredibly upbeat, so much that I even devoured an extra half portion at lunch. The good mood had me humming as I played my baby grand piano all afternoon, losing myself in the music until after two o'clock when Summer called to confirm next week's work schedule. Only then did I reluctantly leave my piano room.The charity concert in France was happening next Saturday, which meant I needed to fly out by Thursday. As I hung up, I suddenly realized I hadn't mentioned this trip to Aiden yet.My finger hovered over my phone, but seeing it was already past five, I changed my mind. Better to tell him in person anyway.Aiden arrived home earlier than usual today. I had just finished my yoga session when I heard movement in the kitchen. Rising instinctively from my mat, I padded out of the home gym toward the sound.He was leaning casually against the kitchen island, sipping water. When his dark eyes found mine, they lit with that familiar spark th
Too Late, Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now Chapter 261 HOLY SHIT!!
Aria's POVAfter sending the lawyer off, I couldn't resist texting Lillian immediately: "Babe, the lawyer got me $33,000 in compensation! And he got you over $2,000 too!"Lillian, who was pretending to work at her office, let out an involuntary gasp when she saw my message."Everything okay over there?" her coworker asked, clearly thinking she'd had some brilliant marketing epiphany."Yeah, just stubbed my toe," she texted back. I could practically see her rubbing her nose awkwardly—her classic tell when she's lying.Her coworker's voice came through in her next message: "Damn, I thought you'd cracked our new product campaign already!""As if! Still researching!" she'd replied.Once she'd gotten rid of her nosy colleague, Lillian's excitement exploded across my screen: "HOLY SHIT!!! That's what Aiden's lawyer can do! LMAO I can just picture that arrogant store owner's face when he got the legal notice! I'm blocking his number RIGHT NOW!"
Too Late, Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now Chapter 260 Turning away from him
Aria's POVAiden finished reading the comment in such a monotone voice, completely void of emotion, but I felt heat creeping up my neck and ears anyway. I quickly snatched my phone back from his hand before he could read any more comments."I'm tired. Let's sleep," I said hurriedly, wanting to end this conversation.Even though we'd had such an intense night yesterday, I was still feeling off. My stomach was upset and I'd been dealing with some lingering discomfort all day. The truth was, I genuinely felt exhausted—I had been sick after all.Aiden studied my face, his eyes softening. "Fine. But tomorrow we need to get up early to meet with the lawyer."I nodded eagerly. "Yes, yes, of course." Turning away from him, I placed my phone on the nightstand.Jesus Christ! What was with Aiden's habit of reading comments out loud? Where did that even come from?I lay down obediently, closing my eyes in an exaggerated "I'm sleeping now" pose. Aiden mus
Too Late, Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now Chapter 259 Take this down NOW.
Aria's POVI was just checking my phone when Aiden caught sight of the message flashing across my screen."I'll contact Lucas," he said, his face betraying nothing as he turned away.I nodded, quickly typing back to Lillian: *Aiden's already contacting his secretary.*Her response came immediately: *This restaurant owner must be a complete idiot! Publishing our photos like that? They're literally begging to be sued!*The irony wasn't lost on me. Aiden and I had just been discussing how the restaurant had blurred our faces in their post, and now they'd gone and revealed us completely. Honestly, I wasn't particularly concerned about being exposed. In fact, they'd just handed us evidence on a silver platter.I navigated back to their social media account to investigate further and quickly figured out their motivation. Someone had commented that while our outfits looked expensive, we must be ugly underneath to behave so "disgustingly." The restaurant owner,

Too Late, Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now Chapter 257 God, this is amazing
Aria's POVI woke up at eleven, feeling like every ounce of energy had been drained from my body. Hunger gnawed at my stomach with an intensity I'd never experienced before. My legs wobbled as I climbed out of bed, barely supporting me as I staggered to the bathroom.After a hasty face wash—skipping my usual skincare routine entirely—I practically ran downstairs in search of food, my stomach growling loudly enough that I worried Nanny might hear it from across the house.When Nanny placed a steaming bowl of noodles in chicken broth before me, I dove in without hesitation. The rich, savory aroma filled my nostrils as I slurped down the noodles, barely coming up for air. My body craved the sustenance like a desert thirsting for rain."God, this is amazing," I mumbled between bites, feeling life slowly returning to my limbs with each spoonful. The warmth spread through my chest, chasing away the lingering weakness.Once I'd emptied the bowl, Nanny a
