Vanessa , unitared by the outburst , stopped forward and stood in front of Aria . Her voice was sharp and deliberate , each word cutting a bu must’ve spent so much time wallowing in hith that you think everyone’s just like you . Some , I’ve got haters , but at least run got principles don’t play mistress , and I don’t wreck homes . If you’re so desperate to be the poster child for shamelessness , on ahead , but keep your trash From me . It’s revolting ‘
The crowd didn’t fully grasp her words , but the sheer venom in them left everyone feeling sullied .
Amanda fraze , her mouth agape indisbelief . So this was the infamous Vanessa , the queen of controversy
No wonder she was known as the celebrity with the most haters in the industry .
That mouth of hers could poison anyone with just a single word .
She secretly nudged Kim “ Mr. Shaw , did you catch what Vanessa Ward was randing about ? ”
He didn’t answer her .
Amanda glanced up and saw Kim staring at Cloe with a peculiar expression . The surrounding noise seemed to fade into the back ground for him .
Her instincts told her there was something going on between these two .
She thought she might as well enjoy the other drama first .
Amanda continued to play the role of a curious bystander , soaking in the spectacle .
Liam’s face alternated between pale and flushed , humiliation coursing through him like a tidal wave .
Hannah’s expression was equally grim as she fixed her icy gaze on Aria . “ Aria , love can’t be forced . You’re just jealous that Liam chose me if you hadn’t deceived him , none of this would’ve happened . ”
Upon hearing the word “ deceived “ , someone discreetly pulled out their phone to record the scene .
Hannah’s features were decent , and her hairstyle cleverly softened the angles of her square face , giving her a sharp and confident vibe that stood out in the crowd .
Both women had cold personalities , but Aria’s aloofness wasn’t inther appearance – it was in her gaze and aura . The indifference she exuded carried a hint of disdain , making people unconsciously overlook her looks :
When two women were vying for the same man , comparisons were inevitable .
And in this case , under the crowd’s scrutiny , Hannah’s flaws became glaringly obvious
Aria was like an ice queen – stunning from afar , but so icy that people would feel the chill in their bones if they dared to get close .
Aria glanced at Hannah with a faint , mocking smile . “ Ms. Gibson , care to explain ? What exactly have I lied about ? ”
Hannah frowned , her expression tinged with hesitation and helplessness . “ Aria , women already lace so much unfair treatment compared to men . Reputation is everything to us .
“ We shouldn’t be tearing each other down – we should be lifting each other up . I don’t want to make things harder for you or put you in a bad spot , ”
“ You’ve already secured the shares , and now the Cole Group and Gibson Group are under fire . I haven’t even exposed your secrets , but you keep pushing , stirring up trouble for the Cole Group again and again ! ”
Her words struck a chord with the crowd , pulling them deeper into the drama .

They wondered , She doesn’t seem like someone who would ruin another’s deception she mentioned ? ”
Could there ba
Aria let out a derisive laugh , “ Wow , Ms. Gibson , what a touching speech . I’m curious – what leverage do you think you have to sound so
Liam frowned deeply . “ Aria , if this gets out , it won’t end well for you . Just stop meddling with the Cole Group , and we’ll make sure your she
buried . ”
The more they beat around the bush , the more the onlookers ‘ curiosity burned . They were practically itching to thout , “ Just spill it already ?
Aria’s voice was calm and indifferent . “ Quit wasting time . Just say İL ”
Hannah’s brows furrowed in anger , her heart soothing with frustration . She truly couldn’t understand that , after everything Arts had been through , how could she still look at her with such cold disdaint
Hannah sneered . “ Aria , I gave you a chance . Are you sure you want me to say it out loud ? ”
Aria’s tone was steady “ Go ahead .
Hannah took a deep breath , clearly furious . She suppressed her anger and snapped , “ Aria , you were a child bride to some old man in your village for years ! You deliberately kept this a secret and married Liam . That’s bigamy ! ”
