Semua Bab Second Marriage to the Billionaire: Ex-Husband Begs Me Not to Go: Bab 201 - Bab 210

As Aria walked out, just before reaching Ethan and the others' private room, she encountered five people coming toward her, led by a server to their room.Aria recognized all five of them, including Gina Timbler and Jane Winterwood, both former high school classmates.Aria sighed quietly, feeling like enemies lurked around every corner.Today really wasn't a good day to leave the house. First Larry and Sarah, now these people.Aria was still wondering how to avoid them when retreat became impossible—Gina had already called out, "Aria, what a coincidence!"Aria sighed and forced a smile, stopping in front of them. "Yes, quite a coincidence.""What brings you here?" Gina looked her up and down with obvious disdain. "Here to entertain clients?"Gina genuinely hated Aria.Back in high school, Aria had been the star, outshining every other girl. Now that Aria had fallen from grace, Gina couldn't wait to kick her while she was down—stepping on former glory felt absolutely euphoric.

Aria glanced at Archer, then at the people in front of her—all around her age, maybe twenty-five or so. Individually, they were probably impressive enough as young heirs with their own distinctive styles, but compared to Archer, they really did seem immature and clearly no match for him.Under normal circumstances, Archer probably wouldn't even spare them a sideways glance.Archer walked to Aria's side and glanced at Michael, then let out a brief laugh, "I'm not married, and I'm hardly middle-aged. I'd say my looks, physique, and stamina are all quite satisfactory. I had no idea that coming here to discuss business with Miss Jackson constituted the kind of transaction you're describing."Michael's face flushed bright red. That glance from Archer, along with his short, dismissive laugh, was dripping with contempt.Unfortunately for Michael, he'd actually seen Archer before—not long ago, when his father had pulled strings to buy an invitation to an event where he'd glimpsed the widel

Archer said nothing, his stern lips pressed together, his expressionless face requiring no additional emotion to make people nervous and uneasy."My woman was disrespected on your property. How you handle this is your call," Archer's face appeared calm, but his voice was ice-cold.Anson chuckled mockingly, "Your club's really lowering its standards these days. Such a shame our good mood got ruined—will we even be able to enjoy ourselves here anymore?"Wesley, a man of few words, simply kept his face cold and summed it up concisely, "Truly low class."Ethan laughed a couple of times, seeming completely unbothered by their complaints. He addressed the server, "Please escort these people out. Take down their names and faces—Grandview will never serve them again."Their faces changed dramatically, humiliation written all over their expressions.Michael finally snapped. Being insulted repeatedly like this—who could stand it!He demanded angrily, "We're paying customers! Is this how y

Before Aria could reply to her, Archer had already looked over, asking in a deep voice, "Why is your face red?""It's nothing, maybe it's hot in the car." Aria mumbled evasively.But she looked too guilty, and Archer narrowed his eyes expressionlessly.Under his gaze, Aria felt even more guilty, her eyes darting around, not daring to look at him."Who are you texting?" Archer raised an eyebrow inquiringly.Getting flustered over texting—a guy?"A friend." Afraid he'd misunderstand, Aria quickly added, "Just Christina."Archer raised his eyebrows. Why would she blush texting Christina?"What are you talking about?" He leaned closer, preparing to take a look.Sensing his breath approaching, Aria quickly covered the screen, trying to put her phone away."Nothing!" The stuff Christina sent was too embarrassing for Archer to see.But Archer was faster, snatching the phone away."Don't!" Aria clutched at his arm, but couldn't match his reach and couldn't get to it no matter how s

"Larry, I'll do whatever you tell me to do." Sarah knew she was beautiful, and she knew her eyes were particularly stunning. So being this close, she looked directly into Larry's eyes, her gaze carrying an obvious seductive smile, full of enchantment.Larry simply wrapped his arm around her waist as she threw herself at him, his eyes showing a hint of disdain.But he wouldn't refuse a beautiful woman offering herself to him.As they kissed and tumbled together, Sarah even felt a hint of vengeful pleasure.She never wanted to plagiarize in the first place—it was Lucy who found Sophia and forced her to copy the designs. If not for that incident, her future would have been bright. How did she end up being universally condemned?She had been the most outstanding student of her class, but now she was a disgrace.Everything was ruined.All because of Lucy.Didn't Lucy like Larry and care about him? She didn't have much ability—she was just an ordinary person—but she had a pretty face
