Chapter 105
Liam’s head whipped to the side from the slap, leaving him completely stunned.
Aria casually pulled back her hand and said with a calm Indifference, “Mind y
I your language.”
The crowd collectively gasped, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets,
They couldn’t believe she just slapped Liam in the face.
Vanessa pulled out a wet wipe from somewhere and grabbed Ala’s hand, wiping it clean with exaggerated care. A teasing smille played on her tips as she said, “Don’t waste your energy on them ever again. They’re disgusting”
Vanessa was used to dealing with online hate, snarky coworkers, and bossy superiors. She rarely let things bother her, but whenever Aria was around, she was always the first to step up and fight back for her.
Aria thought. Having a bestie who always stands up for me? Now that’s the best!‘
The sharp sting on his cheek finally snapped Liam out of his date. The pain radiated all the way to his teeth, and his eyes burned with fury. “Arial”
Hannah reacted even faster than Liam. Seeing Aria lay a hand on the man she loved right in front of her was a blatant challenge to her patience.
Her hand lashed out toward Aria’s face, fast and fierce.
However, Aria pulled Vanessa back and, with her other hand, swiftly caught Hannah’s wrist.
The impact froze their hands mid–air, the strength of their grip locking them in a silent battle.
“Ms. Gibson, did you ask me before trying to hit me?” Aria’s voice was calm, yet sharp enough to cut through the tension.
Hannah had been training in boxing since she was young, even clinching the city championship. Even the toughest guys in her league couldn’t take her
down.
Fueled by rage, she had put real power into that punch.
But somehow, Aria blocked her punch with ease.
Hannah’s eyes widened in disbelief, unable to comprehend how Aria had blocked her punch so effortlessly.
She thought furiously, ‘I’ll see how fa
far she can go with this!
Hannah twisted free from Aria’s grip with a sharp, calculated move, her right arm whipping through the air and aiming straight for Aria’s chest
Hannah’s speed was astonishing, the muscles in her forearm smooth and taut, a testament to her boxing champion prowess.
The crowd fraze, their eyes wide in shock. Everyone knew Hannah’s reputation, and with the two standing so close, it seemed impossible for Aria to avoid the punch–unless she could teleport
Aria didn’t dodge. She shifted her body to the side in one swift motion, raising her arm to block the attack.
The force Hannah unleashed rebounded with equal intensity, snapping back at her like a whip,
Caught off guard by her own arrogance, Hannah failed to pull back in time. The recoil sent her spinning, her balance lost as she stumbled sideways.
Before she could hit the ground, Liam stepped in and caught her just in time
Defeated by Aria, Hannah’s pupils trembled in disbel

Chapter 105
She had seen the video that made Aria famous. Aria’s moves were way too smooth, and those people fell too fast, Hannah bellavad it had to
“She must have hired those people to act with her, just to distract everyone from her scams, Hannah reasoned, clinging to her doubts.
When she decided to strike, she had considered the risks. If Aria ended up seriously injured, Hannah could use that video to discredit her.
But she hadn’t expected this–Aria not only blocked her attack but nearly humiliated her in front of everyone.
I’m a boxing champion, How could I possibly lose? Hannah’s thoughts raced, refusing to accept the reality. It has to be because I underestimated her
Aria bent slightly, brushed the dust off her shirt, and shot a mocking glance at Hannah and Liam. “Ms. Gibson, you seem pretty disappointed.
Her strike had been merciless; if it had landed on someone untrained, a few broken ribs would’ve been the least of their worries.
Seeing Ana unharmed, Liam let out a quiet sigh of relief. Though not an expert in martial arts, his years of basic training told him Hannah’s move wasn’t something to take lightly.
Hannah had stepped in to defend him, but if Aria had been injured, this whole situation would’ve been a nightmare to resolve.
Liam’s gaze darkened as he replayed the scene in his mind.
Standing close, he had seen what others missed an ordinary person wouldn’t have been able to dodge Hannah’s attack.
