Aria teased, “Weren’t you just mad at me? Got over it already?”
Tina snorted coldly, “I wouldn’t stoop to a brat’s level.”
“Oh,” Aria continued casually, “So how does the Archer family stack up against the Saxon family?”
Tina was a bit puzzled by why Aria asked that, but still replied, “About the same.”
Aria scoffed, “Then what’s there to worry about?”
Tina asked, “Are you planning to ask my grandfather for help?”
Aria shot her a took like she was an idiot. “Why would I ever ask your grandfather for help? I don’t even take the Saxon family seriously, let alone a girl from the Archer family. If she’s itching to die, I’ll gladly help her on her way.”
Tina looked at her, a complex look in her eyes. “You’ve changed a lot.”
The old Aria wouldn’t have talked this much to her. Most of the time, she only ignored Tina.
Aria had heard far worse insults than this back in the Solemnity Guild. She never bothered with words. Her fists did the talking, and she preferred to beat people into submission.
In Huthailia, Aria knew she couldn’t resort to violence. She wouldn’t break the law. As for the gossip and snide remarks, she couldn’t care less.
Later, she met many people who truly cared about her. While she could ignore those malice herself, those who cared about her could not.
Aria thought, ‘Clapping back right to their face and watching them seethe but not dare say a word is quite satisfying!
Following the show’s schedule, the cast was ready to head to the supermarket for groceries.
Luther was paired with Aria and quickly moved to her side. “Aria, what would you like to eat?”
Aria shot him an indifferent glance. “Go by yourself. I’m not a celebrity and have no interest in playing along with this grocery shopping act for cameras.”
Spotting an opening, Calista jumped in. “Luther, let’s team up.”
Aria walked away directly.
Annoyance flashed across Luther’s face. He’d been trying to get closer to Aria, but Calista kept pestering him relentlessly.
Meanwhile, the remaining three naturally grouped up. Tina took the lead, “Let’s get moving.”
After the five left, Aria chatted briefly with Lily and Pearl before heading across the hall.
The fingerprint scan succeeded, and the door opened Aria was startled to find Owen standing right by the door. “What are you doing here?” she blurted
out.
Owen naturally pulled her into his arms. “I had a feeling you’d come over,” he said.
Aria raised an eyebrow. “You guessed that right?”
“Yeah, we’re so in sync,” Owen replied.
Aria handed him a bag of nuts and said, “Finn prepared it. Pretty tasty.”
Owen took the bag and noted the brand. “Lily’s SAT results come out in an hour.”

“Yeah,” Aria said, a bit nervous inside. “The crew will leave at five to shoot elsewhere. Once they’re gone, let’s go out for dinner and celebrate Uly SAT
results.”
Owen asked, “Still going to Amour Bistro?”
“Let’s try a new restaurant and invite Cloe and Julia,” Aria suggested. ‘Poor Vanessa can only go to film the show, Aria thought.
“Got it. I’ll pick the place,” Owen said.
Aria suddenly thought of Luther and said, “By the

this guest, Luther. He said you have a thing for me.”

Owen blushed a little. “Maybe Anabel let it slip. Back when we kinda lost touch.”
Luther had been passionate about music since childhood and would send Owen his original compositions. But as Owen’s replies grew increasingly perfunctory, they gradually lost touch.
Owen said gently, “If Luther bothers you, just ignore him. Send him my way.”
Aria replied, “It’s fine, he’s pretty quiet.”
Owen gently led her into the kitchen. “I’ve been perfecting

new cupcake recipe. Care to try? Later, we can bring some to Lily and Pearl as snacks.”
Meanwhile, the other five were grocery shopping at the supermarket. Calista kept sidling up to Luther. He wanted to ignore her, but still forced a few polite replies with the cameras rolling.
