Chapter 125
Aria said, “Trenton, I didn’t expect you, who loves your wife so much, to still have this side.”
She had looked into the Stars Group board members, and Trenton had left the strongest impression.
He was supposedly a man who adored his wife, the perfect husband.
What a load of crap!
Trenton tried to maintain his composure and said, “Ms. Saxon, you misunderstood. She’s my friend’s daughter. I was just looking out for her”
Aria asked coldly, “Do you think I’m stupid?”
Her expression was cold, her sharp gaze carrying an air of superiority.
Trenton didn’t understand why she was so arrogant and dared to teach him a lesson after being abandoned by her family. His face darkened, and his tone turned mocking. “Ms. Saxon, even if you hold the largest stake in Stars Group, my position is no less significant than yours.
“The Saxon family’s mess is common knowledge. Perhaps you should focus on your own business instead of meddling in my private affairs.”
‘Aria is a shareholder of Stars Group? And she holds the largest stake?‘ Derek was a bit stunned when he heard this.
He glanced at Helen, conflicted. ‘Helen, my classmate! Should I even get involved in this mess?‘ he thought.
Victor was alarmed by Trenton’s words. The contract hadn’t even been signed yet. Offending Aria would surely ruin everything.
He immediately tried to smooth it. “Ms. Saxon, what Trenton means is that he wasn’t bullying this girl. I can testify.”
Aria’s cold gaze swept over him as she asked, “Are you sure you want to testify?”
Her gaze was too oppressive, making Victor, who was feeling guilty, unable to say a word.
Everyone at Navoron Restaurant recognized Aria, including Helen. Upon hearing that Aria was a shareholder of Stars Group, Helen clung to her sleeve. She said, “Ms. Saxon, he’s been exploiting Star Group’s name to funnel clients to his cousin’s company and pocketing the profits.”
Upon hearing her words, Trenton and Victor’s faces turned pale.
Helen tried to speak, but Trenton, in a panic, rushed forward and shouted angrily, “You’re spouting nonsense!”
Aria turned around and lifted her left foot high, fiercely kicking Trenton who was about to hit Helen.
With a scream, Trenton was sent flying, crashing to the ground.
“Trash.”
Aria retracted her foot, the hem of her dress rippling elegantly with the motion.
Derek’s eyes widened in shock. He quietly pulled back the foot he’d been about to step forward with. He thought, ‘Well, not getting involved in this mess.’
Trenton lay on the ground, clutching his stomach as pain wracked his body. He coughed up blood and shouted, “Aria! I’ll sue you! I’ll ruin you!”
Aria chuckled softly, stepped closer, and pressed her foot down on his head.
His chin slammed onto the floor. He spat out another mouthful of blood.
The others watched with pounding hearts, terrified she might actually kill Trenton.

Aria withdrew her foot and turned to Victor. She said, “Trenton has been abusing his position for personal gain. I’ll leave it to you to investigate. The sooner you handle this, the sooner we can finalize the Hayes Group deal.
“Any objections, Victor?”
Victor swallowed hard and nodded repeatedly. “No, no.”
He thought, ‘How could I have been so blind? I thought she relied on her looks. What a joke! With that kind of presence and skill, no man would dare bully her! I offended her before, luckily I wasn’t beaten today‘
Aria turned to leave but paused beside Helen. She said, “Contact Victor. He’ll make sure everything that’s rightfully your father’s is returned.”
Victor immediately said, “Yes, I’ll return it all.”
“Don’t forget to call the police.”
The moment Aria turned her head to speak, Derek had already ducked behind the wall to avoid her gaze.
He thought, ‘Everyone said Aria was rude, but why did no one talk about her fiery temper? She threw a punch whenever she wanted!”
Derek was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t even hear the footsteps. It wasn’t until a figure appeared that he looked up, meeting a sharp gaze.
“Had enough of watching?”
