Semua Bab ONE NIGHT STAND WITH EX'S UNCLE: Bab 121 - Bab 130

“What happened?” Theodore asked his secretary. The secretary glanced at Aria, hesitating to speak.Theodore nodded, assuring him it was okay to say everything.“Boss, the bridge built by Windsor Group has collapsed. There are many casualties. Allegations of corruption are being leveled against Windsor Group.”As soon as Theodore heard this, the ground seemed to slip from under his feet.“What?”Aria, too, was shaken by the news.They both checked their phones. Chaos had erupted everywhere. People were speaking out against Windsor Group.“How is this possible…” Theodore said, looking at Aria. They had poured their hearts into this project. It was guaranteed to stand strong for the next 200 years.“Call an urgent meeting. Immediately. Get the law firm on the line,” Theodore ordered his secretary, grabbing his shirt to get dressed.Aria quickly changed her clothes, preparing for the meeting.She couldn’t understand why this was happening. She had personally overseen all the quality repor

When Aria entered the grand mansion, George Kingston was sitting on his couch, a file in his hands. His eyes landed on Aria, and he placed the file on the table. “Miss Aria. You are here? You have not taken any appointments?” His secretary tried to stop her but she entered anyway.George gestured to his secretary to leave them alone. Aria was furious. Her nostrils flared. She wanted to strangle George to the death. “You’ve arrived much earlier than I expected,” He said. It was enough for Aria to make sure he was behind all this. “Now you have come, let’s have tea together.”He pulled a cup of tea towards her as if he knew Aria would be here anytime soon.Aria slammed her hands on the table.“What do you want? Why did you do this?” Aria knew that no one but George Kingston could be behind framing Theodore. “You know Theodore is innocent. You waited for this to happen for four years, right?” His presence in their lives couldn’t just be a coincidence. He had come with a larger plan.

“See where his love brought you?” George Kingston trailed the tissue paper across Aria’s face, showing her the thick black paint that clung stubbornly to her skin.“Poor Theodore, how he’ll see you in such a state,” he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Aria breathed heavily, her anger barely contained. If she had permission to kill a person, she would have killed George right now.A man behind Theodore’s suffering.“If you think I’ll leave Theodore just because you offered, you’re wrong. I would never go to someone who’s caused him so much pain,” she said firmly, her resolve unshaken.Even if George wanted to use her as a tool for revenge, she wouldn’t betray Theodore like that.“Alright…” George smirked. “We’ll see how long your love holds.”He walked out of the washroom. Aria scrubbed her face, but the black stain wouldn’t budge.“How did the court allow anyone inside holding such disastrous paint,” She muttered and kept rubbing her face. “If I go inside like this, Theodore w

“Who were you talking to?” Theodore’s eyes were low, glinting with a dangerous edge.Aria flinched at his expression. She was determined to keep the surprise party a secret, no matter what.“What? What are you talking about?” she asked, feigning ignorance.Theodore rubbed his temples, his patience visibly thinning. He already had those videos in his possession. When he sent them for investigation, they were confirmed to be real, not AI-generated.Now seeing Aria behaving so strangely, he couldn’t help but doubt her. His eyes never left her face and that trembled her knees.“I heard you speaking to someone asking to call you later.”His suspicions deepened, but he wanted to hear the truth from Aria herself.“No one… I was talking to no one,” Aria said defensively, though her attempt at lying was clumsy, and Theodore had already caught her hiding her phone.“Aria, you’re lying. If there’s something going on, you need to tell me,” Theodore said, his voice firm, deliberately avoiding men

It was almost six thirty. Theodore stepped out of the meeting room hurriedly. Aria was absent for the meeting. He wondered what was so important that she was missing the places she should have.“Boss. Shall we go to the mansion?” His secretary asked him when he sat inside his car. “Take me to the penthouse.” Theodore said and signaled his secretary, and the car turned toward the penthouse. He wasn’t excited for anything but just to know what Aria was up to nowadays.“You’ll get answers to all your questions. The truth will be right before your eyes,” he reread Aria’s message.He couldn’t figure out what she was trying to tell him.When they arrived, a few cars were already parked there.Theodore stepped out of his car and stared at them.Two of the cars belonged to his household—likely Amanda and Darla with the kids.But the third car sent a jolt through him. It was a luxury Aston Martin with a rare number plate.Only three people in the city owned this limited-edition model—one was
