Hans took Aria's trembling body into his arms. "I know this is very hard. But I'm sure you can get through it, Aria. Because you won't be alone, I will always be with you, accompanying you no matter what," Hans said honestly from the bottom of his heart. Aria didn't answer, but she returned Hans's hug as if he were the most solid support she could ever have. He gently patted Aria's back, trying to reassure her. And miraculously, Aria felt very calm in Hans's embrace. Not only calm, but she also felt very comfortable and safe. "Make me one of your shoulders to lean on, Aria," Hans whispered, bringing a faint smile to Aria's face. *** "Aria..." Feeling a gentle stroke on her head, Aria woke up. She was so tired that she had unconsciously fallen asleep on Anne's bed. Hans had gone out for a moment with David. "Mom," Aria whispered softly, smiling at Anne, who had regained consciousness. Anne tried to sit up with Aria's help. "How is your father?" the woman asked with a worried ex

Upon arriving home, Aria was greeted enthusiastically by Anne and Andrew, who had been waiting for her. Hans had already excused himself without stopping by, saying he had urgent business to attend to. "Hey, where's Hans going? Why didn't he come inside first?" Anne asked, confused, still watching Hans's car leave their driveway. "Yes, Mom, because Hans said he had something very important to do. He wanted to apologize to Mom and Dad for not being able to stop by earlier," Aria said. "I see," Anne said, nodding in understanding. "Where's Juan?" Aria asked, looking around the house. "He's sleeping with Tara," Anne replied. Aria simply nodded slowly. She took over Andrew's wheelchair and pushed it into the living room. "How did your divorce from Jayden go, Aria?" Anne asked impatiently. Seeing Aria's beaming face, Anne and Andrew could guess that their daughter had good news. However, that didn't stop Anne from finding out directly from Aria. "Everything went smoothly..." Aria s

Drrtttt... Drrttt... The phone on Jayden's desk vibrated, drawing his attention to it. Elena's name appeared on the screen. Jayden took a deep breath, trying to calm himself before placing the flat object to his ear. He waved his index finger to signal Roy to leave. For now, the information he had provided was enough. Yes, it was enough to frustrate Jayden, and he wondered why he was so angry. Was he jealous, or was there some other, more difficult-to-define feeling? I didn't know. "What's wrong, Elena?" Jayden asked, staring out his office window. He was still trying to calm his breathing. "Did you forget that we're having a wedding dress fitting today?" Elena asked from the other end. Ah, damn! Jayden had forgotten, and if he told the truth, Elena would be furious. "I couldn't have forgotten," he replied. Jayden had no choice but to lie. "Then I'll go to your office," Elena offered. "No need. Let's just meet at the boutique," Jayden declined. Elena was silent for a moment.

"Mrs. Aria!" Jonatan called. But Aria ignored him. Jonatan could understand how Aria felt right now. Even though it was her first day, Aria had already experienced such unpleasant treatment from her own clients. Jonatan didn't know what to do because he basically knew nothing about Mr. Andrew's family's personal matters. However, he had heard that Aria divorced Jayden because she was having an affair with Hans. Whether that was true or not, Jonatan didn't want to interfere. His job was simply to help Aria with her work. Aria quickened her pace as the elevator reached the tenth floor. She headed towards her father's office, which was now her own. Rubbing her tears roughly, Aria stared out the window. Does everyone in this world always act like that? When they're in front of us, they compliment us and smile sweetly, as if they truly like us. But behind our backs, they insult us, curse us, and even judge us without knowing the truth. If so, Aria didn't want to trust anyone anymore. H

Anne could only smile knowingly. She felt both pity and pride at the sight of Aria now. It was a pity, because Aria shouldn't be the one working so hard. But if not Aria, who else? The Kates family had only Aria as their successor. Proud of her daughter's strong determination. Rebuilding a bankrupt company was no easy feat. Aria had nearly given up on failure several times, but she kept trying tirelessly. And finally, Aria's hard work began to pay off. Some of the property in the Eligra area was now hers. Aria shouldn't have had to worry too much. She only needed to win tomorrow's auction, and her father's company would fall into her hands. But Aria knew it wouldn't be easy. Jayden Matthew, her ex-husband, was also participating in the auction. And Aria could guess Jayden knew he was her opponent. He wouldn't give up easily. Aria took a deep breath as she stared at the documents in front of her. Her mother had already left after giving Aria a cup of warm tea. Aria could only hope t
