The Heiress's Return: From Zen to Zenith

Chapter 1004: 471 Marriage Alliance_3 Chapter 1004: 471 Marriage Alliance_3 Upon hearing this, both Charlotte Aria and Catherine Liam were stunned at the same time.

Aria didn’t have an appetite.

She put down her chopsticks and frowned at Matthew Aria.

“Dad…”

Matthew Aria grunted, “Eat your meals, we can talk about anything later.”

A sudden sense of unease washed over Aria.

What exactly did her father mean?

Aria tentatively asked, “Dad, my aunt has been in Pethkids for a while now.

I kind of miss her.

I am on vacation now, can I go to Pethkids to stay with her?

My uncle is also there.”

Matthew Aria coldly responded, “Pethkids is pretty chaotic right now.

It wouldn’t be appropriate for you to go.

Wait for a while, your aunt will be back soon.”

After dinner, Matthew Aria received a call.

A secretary came to deliver some documents and they both went to the study to discuss.

Catherine questioned, “Where’s Secretary Baker?

Why didn’t he come?”

Secretary Baker was a regular at the Arias, as he was Matthew’s most trusted person.

Catherine was initially worried, mainly because Secretary Baker was very attractive and an impressive alum of Hwa Chong Uni.

She feared there might be something going on between them.

However, after observing for a long time, she realized Baker was rather honest.

Her worries gradually subsided.

So, when the one who came with the documents was an even more attractive beauty, Catherine’s radar immediately went on alert.

Aria didn’t care much, she returned to her room and texted Stella White.

——Ninny, where are you?

I feel like chatting.

It took ten minutes before she received a voice message —— Charlotte, sorry, we have been preparing for the Spring Festival Gala, I am tied up with rehearsals.

I’ll message you when I get home tonight, XOXO.

Background noise was a mixture of music and voices.

It was quite noisy.

Aria scrolled through her contacts when a text from Tabitha Parker popped in.

——Charlotte, open this link quickly.

Aria instinctively opened the link.

It was a piece of news that immediately piqued her interest.

Soon after, an eager video call from Tabitha came in.

“Charlotte, have you read the news?

I didn’t expect it, she’s like that?

She even dragged Xu Qian into the scandal.

She is absolutely shameless, pissing me off big time.

Qian is totally innocent, he’s been scapegoated by her.

How can there be such a disgusting person in the world?”

Xu Qian was the male celeb whose extramarital affair had just blown up on trending.

He’s quite famous in the industry, loves publicising himself, and has a faithful set of fans.

Tabitha was one of them.

“Our Qian is very professional, a model husband in the industry, how could he have an affair?

He was implicated in the scandal.

Poor Qian is without resources, so he was used as a scapegoat.”

The rant against the chief culprit lasted for a good five minutes, filled with all types of profanities.

Charlotte had no interest in discussing these entertainment gossips.

The cursing from Tabitha made her frown.

“Aubree Groove a murderer?

That’s unlikely.”

“How is it not possible?

She’s Pindo Rinto’s daughter.

Pindo Rinto, do you know him?

He is a murdering maniac.

Like father, like daughter.

She has devil’s genes in her bones.

Her failure to clarify things online, doesn’t that amount to admitting it?”

“You’re too kind-hearted, Charlotte.

Always seeing the good side of people, not knowing the evilness of human nature more often than not exceeds your imagination.”

Aria curled up her lips, a mockery reflected in her gaze, but her tone was gently reproachful.

“The truth of the matter, we don’t know yet.

Just relying on netizens’ one-sided words, that’s not very reliable.

I don’t think Aubree Groove seems to be that kind of person.

Maybe there’s some kind of misunderstanding.”

“Misunderstanding?

Forget it.

Her so-called philanthropy, it’s all for show.

Even Madam Frost fell into her trap, what kind of person can she be?” Tabitha said, disdain evident in her voice.

Aria sighed, “I really didn’t expect this…”

“Charlotte, when are your aunt and uncle coming back from Pethkids?”

Having watched the Wind on the Clouds press conference, Tabitha was naturally interested in every bit of news about Romilly Powell.

Aria shook her head, “I don’t know.

I want to go to Pethkids, but my Dad doesn’t want me to.

He says it’s too chaotic right now.”

“Indeed, it is chaotic.

Aubree Groove’s family are the biggest plague to Pethkids.

All the disturbances there were caused by her relatives.

But we don’t need to be afraid, it’s a society ruled by law.

They can’t do anything to us.

Besides, isn’t your uncle also in Pethkids?

Who dares to mess with him?”

Aria laughed proudly, “That’s true.”

“We will meet at the airport early tomorrow morning.
