Arta’s volen turned icy, her gaze sharp. “Since Ms. Saxon is so confused about me, let me clear things up for you.
“I’ve already repaid the 20 million dollars you called an engagement gift and my expenses while loving with the Saxon family. The 150 millon mine, and it has nothing to do with you. As for the shares… I traded Cole Group shares with Joseph for them. They weren’t a gh.
left all the clothes, bags, and gifts you gave me at the Saxon family’s place. I didn’t take a single thing. I’ve never owed the Saxon family anything
Her gaze was cold, devoid of love or hate, as if she were staring at complete strang
Then, she went on, “I don’t owe you anything. So stop acting all high and mighty, trying to guilt me. If the fact that my last name is Saxon bothers you so much, I’ll just change it to Colton.”
Compared to the Saxon family, the Coltons were far more tolerable. At least they know when to shut up with just one look from her

d like this, she’d never have come back.
“No!” Logan and Zoe shouted in unison, their voices filled with panic.

“Aria, please don’t act on impulse. It’s our fault for not cherishing you Just tears welling up in her eyes as she lowered herself, her humility almost pitiful
Luke, watching from the side, couldn’t hold back his anger. “Zoe, if she doesn’t want to come back, then let her be. Why are you lowering yourself like this?”
Logan’s face turned cold. “Luke, this is a matter for the second branch. Stay out of it.”
Suppressing his frustration, Luke retorted, “Fine, I’ll stay out of it. If you enjoy being humiliated, that’s on you. But Gloria, don’t get involved either. You think you’re helping, but they’ll probably just blame you for it.”
He was wondering, “You already have a perfect daughter. Why waste your time chasing after someone who doesn’t care?”
Even Gloria seemed uncertain now. She turned to the side and asked, “is what she said true? That 150 million dollars didn’t come from the second
branch?”
When news of Aria’s investment broke, nearly everyone assumed Logan had secretly transferred assets to her.
“It didn’t.” Logan’s expression darkened. Everyone thought the money Aria had was from him, but the truth was, he hadn’t given her a single cent

*150 million dollars isn’t exactly a small amount,” Gloria said, her face flushed as she frowned. “But Aria didn’t grow through so much. If she wants to invest, why not just give it to her as compensation?”
Everyone wondered if she just had a change of heart.
Just as Nathan thought the tension might finally ease, Gloria turned to Aria and asked, “Where did the 150 million dollars come from? Who did you borrow it from? Tell your parents to pay it back as soon as possible”
Nathan was speechless.
At least she didn’t outright accuse Aria of scamming the money.
Ania couldn’t be bothered to respond. She reached for the suitcase Caleb was holding, intending to leave, but he dodged slightly and looked at her with a hint of pity, “I’m not on their side. I’m here to help you move.”
She furrowed her brows but didn’t refuse him agaiq.
When her address was leaked, on the day she went to the Stars Group,

herbers who despised her
It was Caleb who stepped in and cleared them out.
Gloria harshly said, “Caleb, she wasn’t raised in the Saxon family, so it’s no surprise she doesn’t follow our rules. But you’re the eldest son of the Sat family. Why are you acting so recklessly?”
Gloria’s cold reprimand was echoed by Logan’s displeased expression. “Caleb.”
Caleb paused and asked, “if Aria comes back, sure, the attacks on the Saxon Group might stop. But what does she get out of it?”
Logan’s face stiffened slightly. “We’re family. This is nothigh about gains and losses.”
Caleb then asked, “Isn’t she fine living on her own? Why force her to come back and endure cold stares? she returned.”
His questioning left Logan and Zoe momentarily stunned.
Think about what we did during the first month
As Aria was about to leave, Zoe snapped out of her daze and stubbomly grabbed her arm, “Aria, do you really not need me as your mom?”
Unmoved,
that?”
Aria turned slightly, her gaze serious as she looked at her. “Without me, your lives wouldn’t change. But if Silvia were gone, could you live with
