bChapter /bb79 /b

Liam read the trending toples, and his expression changed drastically.

Many people gathered outside the Saxon Manor, and the Saxon Group’s stock price was

splummating.

It was stupid to hush the crowd up now, but there were such fouls. All the trending topics and Videos about Aria were deleted within a short time.

One key opinion leader left a sharpment online. [Justice can’t beat the capitalists!||

bSoon/bb, /bthe deletion was said to be conducted by the Sason Group, and it bet

became a trending topic.

Liam was in ba /bbad mood because things were getting out of his control. He dialed Hannah’s number. “Hannah, things are getting out of handb./bb” /b

On the other end of the line, Hannah was confused by Liam’s bworry/b. “Du you go soft on Aria?”

“Of course not! I’m afraid that the Saxon Group may get back at the Cole Group since it is implicated.”

“Rx Grandpa said that the Gibson family is on your sideb./bb” /b

Liam sighed. There bwas /blittle he could say because he was the real reason for the whole mess. After the call with Hannah, he went to Daniel’s study. “Grandpa, it is getting out bof /bcontrol, so get prepared.”

Daniel looked grim. He rubbed his temples to relieve his headache. “The Cole family and the Gibson family are tied together, so we should seize the chance to take the Saxon Group down. Once it gets back to its feet, we will be its first victim, Give it another strike.”

Frowning, Liam wanted to argue, but he caught sight of Daniel’s gray hair and wrinkles. Regret got him, so he swallowed his words.

“Grandpa, I’ll go to the Stars Group tomorrow. You bhave /bmy word that I will secure the project,” Liam said.

Daniel nodded. “There must be a good reason for the bStars /bGroup to bchoose /bthe cancetion of cooperation over the settlement money. The loss of our technology will displease its board directors for sure. Sound them out about Aria when you are there. This project is too important to lose.”

“Got youb,/bb” /bLiam responded.

This was the Saxon Manor. In the depressing atmosphere, the crowd didn’t think that Aria could kill a grown man.

Aria sounded indifferent after her eyes swept over the other people in the room. “Time’s running out. Make your choice now, or the stock price of the Saxon Group will plummet.”

Caleb understood that it was a best and that Aria was giving the Saxon family onest chance. He firmly said, “Aria, I will be on your bside /bno matter what happens”

His choice didn’t surprise Aria, but it was a pity that his preference to her contained regret and guilt.

“Issue a statement now! Cut all ties with Arial” Joseph’s voice thundered through the room, Joseph would never allow anyone to jeopardize the Saxon Group.

“No!” Caleb, Silvia, and their parents shouted at the same time. Trembling, Zoe stood before Aria. “Joseph, Aria is my daughterb, /bmy flesh and blood.”

Logan held his wife’s hand tightly. “Dad, that isn’t the right thing to do to your family.”

Silvia went over and held Joseph’s hand bas /bbtears /bstreamed down her face “Grandpa, not her fault. She

“Sima,” Aria interrupted. With tears in her eyes, Silvia said through her quivering lips, “Grandpa, my real parents were bad to bAria/b. She is innocent.

He expression wasplicated, so Caleb couldn’t help but thinki

must know something. This ht btook /bTina by so

bLogan /btiled his best to stay calm while Zoe sobbed with sadness, Caleb was expressionless but seemed decisive, band /bSilvia had broken down-

At the same time, the troublemaker lemained calm and indifferent as if she were an onlooker.

“A, you’re nothing bait trouble!” Tins pursed her lips, and the look in her eyes was cold. “The Saxon family was a loving one. You are the remion for att these arguments and conflicts”

Instantly, Fryderyk’s face darkened. However, Fryderyk couldn’t point a finger at Tina, who was Joseph’s granddaughter.

Aria didn’t feel guilty over Tina’s usation. “Mr. Fletcher, shouldn’t go to the police station, given themotion?”

Fryderyk hesitated for two seconds before he answered, “You do need our protection.”

Aria walked to the door, and Zoe quickly grabbed her arm. “Aria, we would help you get a reduced sentence if you were a murderer, I will wait for you toe home.”

Zoe had tears in her eyes. It was about regret and guilt. Did Zoe regret that she hadn’t taken Aria home earlier?

bAria /blooked at her mother and asked, “Whom do you prefer to be your daughter? Silvia or me?” Zoe hesitated. “…”

Aria gave a faint smile, and her expression was calm. “You made the choice.”

“bArial/b” Zoe clutched Aria’s hand, her voice trembling. “You are a bit paranoid, but I love you too. If I had brought you home earlier and disciplined you…” “Mrs. Saxon” Aria interrupted Zoe and gently pulled Zoe’s hand away. “Do you really think that the Colton couple is the cause of my personality?”

Her indifference hurt Zoe, and Zoe couldn’t help bbut /bshed tears.

Logan sensed that Aria bwas /bweird. He chose to side with his wife even if he wanted to improve his rtionship with Aria Holding Zoe by the shoulders, he said, “Aria, she’s your mother.”

Aria shifted her gaze to Logan, “Mr. Saxon, do you also think so?” Leaning into Logan’s embrace, Zoe wept. Logan had aplicated expression on his

face.

Both Zoe and Logan fell silent, and that was their answer. Caleb closed his beyes/bb, /band a wave of despair washed over him. His parents let Aris down

banyway /b

This result wasn’t surprising to Aria as she had heard someonement that nobody would like a woman like her with her bparents/b, rtives, friends, or lovers included.

Back then, Aria didn’t think so or feel lonely because she had friends who didn’t mind dying for her.

Now, she began to doubt herself. She turned around and walked away. “Aria.” There came a call, and Aria’s wrist was grabbed.

Aria looked back and saw a pair of tearful and red eyes, “…if I leave this family, will youe back?”

“Silvial” Zoe shouted. Grief–stricken, she thought, “I could have bhad /ba happy family. Why didn’t things go my way? Why does Aria distance herself from bus/bb? /bbWhy/b?”

With a faint smile, Aria raised her hand, and her palm brushed bpast /bSilvia’s soft hair, b“/bbSilvia/b, you’re a good girl.

She then withdrew her hand, and her cold gazy swept over Zoe and Logan. “You still have time to make your choice. Disown me, or ept ba /bmurderer to be your daughter”

Aher this speech, Aria lett without hesitation.

Zoe wanted to stop Aria, bbut /bJoseph’s furious voice prevented her. “Let her go! Whoever tries to stop her should leave this ce with her.”
