The Heiress's Return: From Zen to Zenith

Chapter 883: 431 Little Sister_2 Chapter 883: 431 Little Sister_2 For all these years of being posted outside, Pethkids, whether it was the economy or the people’s livelihood, had gradually developed, and all these accomplishments were credited to him.

The return to Lostswa this time could be described as riding on the crest of success …

Vanessa Aria suddenly opened her eyes.

She had always overlooked a very important thing.

As long as Madam was there, he would never be able to monopolize power.

And the Rintos were a tumour stuck in his throat.

Neither side was easy to provoke.

In this struggle between Madam and the Rintos, Lando Elijah maintained his usual low-key silence, which was very unusual.

People thought the Rintos were in the wrong, but in fact, they had long started preparations to clear their name.

How could Lando Elijah not know?

He played a good game, being the fisherman who benefited from the fight between the snipe and the clam.

However, between the Rintos and Lando Elijah, it’s still not clear who’s using whom.

She must seize this opportunity to strategize carefully.

Within a short time, Vanessa Aria went to the hospital again, first to get the wound on her head bandaged, then underwent a series of check-ups.

The results showed no major problems, only the place where her right hand had been broken hinted a recurrence.

It was not something simple surgery could solve this time.

If it got worse, there was a possibility of amputation.

Thinking about that woman, Vanessa Aria clenched her teeth in hatred.

She was sure that woman was not easily dealt with – she easily broke her finger, that couldn’t have been done without solid strength.

Could it have been someone from the WT Organization?

Had Night Hawk already discovered her and sent someone to teach her a lesson?

Thinking of this possibility, Vanessa Aria felt her blood surge, she instinctively looked around.

The hospital was bustling, and the faces in the crowd were full of hurry and panic.

No one paid any extra attention to her.

Jameson noticed something was off with Vanessa Aria, he concernedly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Vanessa Aria grabbed his hand and said urgently, “Jameson, get me out of here quickly.”

When Peter Aria returned, he asked the waiter for alcohol.

Aubree Groove indifferently said, “Bring a jar of Qingmei wine.”

The special Qingmei wine from the Oncoe Building was a bit sour to taste, not as intoxicating as regular wine, more like fruit wine.

But if one drank too much, it could still get one drunk.

Watching Peter Aria drinking one cup after another, Dallyn whispered to Aubree Groove, “Mistress, something seems different with Dr.

Aria since he came back.

Could he have…

”

Confessed and got rejected?

Both of them were acting in a similar manner.

Since their return, Aubree Groove had been silent, not saying a word, just quietly eating the vegetarian dishes specially provided by Oncoe Building.

Aubree Groove said indifferently, “Don’t get involved in other’s matters.”

Dallyn responded and lowered her head to eat silently.

Brixton Alvarez picked up the jar, “Come, I’ll drink with you.”

This guy was already known for being serious, not drinking a drop ordinarily.

To get him to drink, he surely must have encountered some deep-rooted pain.

A good friend, shared the drunkenness together.

Brixton Alvarez took a gulp, but spat it out immediately, “No, bring Moutai instead.”

This Qingmei wine wouldn’t get you drunk even if you drank it till the cows came home.

Aubree Groove put her chopsticks down, wiping her mouth with a napkin, “You guys keep drinking, I am leaving first.”

Right after Aubree Groove left, Brixton Alvarez patted him on the shoulder, “Ok, she is gone now, stop pretending.

I knew you had designs on Aubree Groove, admitting you confessed and got rejected, you beast!

She is still underage.”

Peter Aria suddenly looked up and stared at him coldly.

His cold gaze frightened Brixton Alvarez, who stammered, “Did I ..

say something wrong?

You have the guts to do it but not admit it?

Rumours about you both were flying around the hospital.

Don’t tell me you didn’t know.”

Peter Aria burst out laughing, his laughter was arrogant yet sharp, filled with deep despair.

For some reason, it made people misty-eyed to hear it.

Aubree Groove paused on the steps, looked up at the floating clouds in the sky, and let out a long sigh.

” …

Seeing that all is empty, saves all beings from suffering…

”

Her pale fingers traced the Buddhist beads lightly, as though all the troubles and pain in the world were flowing over her heart.

Her skirt gently brushed the steps, like a quiet lotus, slowly walking into the depth of time.

Whether Peter Aria was really drunk or not, he had lost track himself.
