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

"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

"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

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

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?"
