Chapter 41

Aria shook her head, but her hand clutched Archer’s sleeve, refusing to let go.From a distance, Larry saw their interaction and his eyes reddened with anger. Just as he was about to unleash a torrent of abuse, Archer gave a casual glance toward his assistant, Kent Watson.Kent immediately nodded, rushed over to cover Larry's mouth, and dragged him back into the apartment. Archer comforted her, "Want to go inside? We'll teach him how to speak properly."Aria hesitated, then nodded.She knew Archer had pulled Larry inside to prevent others from hearing the commotion. He was being considerate of her.The already small six-hundred-square-foot apartment seemed even smaller with four people crammed inside.Larry still wanted to curse, but the next second Kent grabbed him by the collar, yanked him over, and slammed him hard against the coffee table. Without hesitation, Kent unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and forced the entire contents down Larry's throat, ignoring his sputtering an

Besides Henry Miller, Archer had another special assistant named Kent Watson, who had been promoted to this position only in the last two years.Henry and Kent could be described as the brain and brawn of Archer's team.Henry was more mature and composed, while Kent still had a youthful edge to him. Being younger, Kent often couldn't hide his confrontational nature and had earned a reputation throughout Duncan Enterprises for being tough to handle—he wouldn't back down from anyone. This is why Henry typically handled the company's public relations, while Kent was kept behind the scenes.Once Kent got involved, he would typically leave the other party questioning their life choices.Aria's heart had not yet settled, and she still felt somewhat anxious.In a spot where Aria couldn't see, Archer's eyes were dark and intense. Only after suppressing the anger in his heart did he look down at her and ask, "Feeling better?"Aria nodded.She nodded in response to his question.But even

"What do you mean Aria moved out? What is she making a fuss about now?"Susan was displeased.Yes, her son had done some things wrong, but Aria could have just pouted a little, asked for a gift or some money for compensation, and that would be that. What was the meaning of moving out? If someone took photos of this situation, they would start gossiping and criticizing her son again.The housekeeper poured hot tea for Marcus and Susan, looking embarrassed and not daring to say anything more.Susan poured a cup of hot tea to comfort Larry. She quickly noticed the marks on Larry's neck and wrist but pretended not to see them, hoping to cover things up. Marcus, however, was already angry.Marcus poured a cup of hot tea over Larry's face."Oh my goodness, what are you doing?" Susan was upset by his action. Larry woke up from the splash, wiping the water from his face. Still drunk, he groaned, "Dad, what's the matter?""What's the matter with me? What have you been doing?"I told yo

"You need to stop causing problems. When the art exhibition comes, you'll apologize properly and make concessions, understood?" Marcus lectured Larry.Larry nodded weakly, hugging a cushion and falling silent.Aria knew nothing about what was happening at the Spencer house. She spent the entire night at Harbor Hospital, where James cheered her up with conversation, assuming she was just under stress. She didn't leave until the next day.She stayed all night at the hospital, and Archer stayed the entire night as well.While she was in the room with her brother, Archer sat on a bench in the hallway outside, working on his laptop.In the morning, Ethan came by with a nurse for rounds and spotted Archer sitting on the bench reviewing documents, with a thick stack of papers beside him. Kent sat next to him, also working.Ethan's eye twitched."Shouldn't you two be at Duncan Enterprises at this hour? Why are you hanging around my hospital? It's not like you don't have places to stay in

"Aria, I brought you breakfast. Come open the door for me, please. This apartment building needs facial recognition to enter and I can't get in."Early in the morning, Christina had already called Aria.She had been too busy the previous day, working nearly all night. After finalizing her design draft, she brought Aria's favorite breakfast to celebrate with her, but when she arrived at the apartment building, she couldn't even get through the main entrance.With no alternative, she had to contact Aria.Aria suddenly realized what she had forgotten.She had forgotten to send Christina her new address.Aria tugged at her hair, "Christina, something unexpected happened yesterday."Christina replied, "Oh? Don't tell me Mr. Duncan took you back to his place! Although I think that's somewhat romantic, sweetie, you're not divorced yet. Wouldn't it be problematic if someone took photos?"Christina was truly looking out for Aria's best interests."No..." Aria briefly explained what had

She leaned against the sofa, her body tense.After not answering for a while, the call automatically disconnected. Just as she was about to sigh with relief, the phone rang again.It was still Susan calling.After a moment's hesitation, Aria answered."Aria, you've moved out of the house?"Aria made a sound of agreement.Susan sighed, "I know Larry has been misbehaving lately, but you shouldn't have moved out. What will people say about our family when they hear about this?"Aria didn't respond.Susan thought she was being impolite but knew the Spencer family was in the wrong on this matter."Aria, I have two tickets to William Luther's art exhibition. You and Larry could go and talk things through. That would be good for all of us, don't you think?"Susan tried to persuade her."Even if you're really planning to divorce, you should set a time to discuss it properly. We as parents can't be kept in the dark while you two make hasty decisions about your marriage. Can you recons

Chapter 47

Lucy's face showed panic as she carefully tugged at Larry's sleeve, acting as if she had no idea why she'd stumbled into this topic."Aria, aren't you and Larry getting along fine?"Aria gave her a dismissive glance, "How could we be fine with you around?"Since you're here, go look at the exhibition. We'll discuss other matters after it ends."Aria's voice was cold, showing her desire to ignore them both. Larry knew he was in the wrong today—it was his decision to bring Lucy that had created this awkward situation, so he remained silent.The first floor featured mostly exhibitions from emerging designers. The hall was crowded, with reporters mixed in taking photos of the atmosphere.Lucy suddenly spoke up, "Those are my works and Christina's works. How coincidental that our pieces are displayed next to each other!"Aria paused, following Lucy's gaze, and indeed saw Christina's and Lucy's works placed side by side.The reporters seemed to sense an opportunity and gathered around

"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

Chapter 49

William Luther, the second son of the Luther family in Silver City, had swept every major art award both domestically and internationally and had created his own luxury brand. He was truly a prominent figure.And now he appeared before everyone.Visitors to the exhibition began taking photos. The reporters were stunned for a moment, but once they realized who he was, all cameras turned toward William, completely forgetting the conflict Lucy had stirred up earlier.No one could match William's star power.William seemed accustomed to the spotlight. He smiled as he scanned the crowd, only letting go of Aria's hand after she had regained her balance."Steady now."Aria nodded, and William politely stepped back.Lucy, being a design student herself, certainly knew William's standing in the industry. Her eyes shone brightly as she looked at him, never having expected to actually meet William today."Excuse me, but may I ask what significant matter is causing such a commotion here?"

William delivered his critique in a calm tone, but Aria could tell it was high praise.The more Lucy listened, the more she believed that when her turn came, she would also receive mostly compliments. Perhaps she could even use William's praise to boost her popularity.Finally, it was time for Lucy's work. William merely glanced at it, and his previously smiling eyes grew noticeably colder.Lucy suddenly sensed something was wrong. The next moment, she heard him speak without mercy."This piece is saturated with malicious greed from beginning to end. One can smell the stench of a rotting soul emanating from within. How could such a work be included in this exhibition?"William looked away as if he'd seen something filthy, his eyes filled with disgust for the piece.That piece was clearly Lucy's design.Lucy could barely stand, nearly collapsing.Yes, when creating that piece, her mind had been filled with thoughts of replacing Aria, which is why she had layered such intense, gau
