The elevator doors slid open . Aria spolted a familiar face ,
Rhett greeted her with a polite smile and stepped aside . “ Ms. Saxon , heading down ! ”
He pressed the button for the ground floor .
When they reached the parking lot , Aria opoised her car door but froze . Her gaze turned enld gradually
Rhett’s car wasn’t far from hers . Noticing her hesitation , he asked , “ What’s wrong ? ”
Aria shut the car door and glanced at him .
Her eyes narrowed slightly . She looked straight at him with a sharp and cold gare .
Rhett’s heart skipped a best . His lips quivered , and his grip on the car door tightened as he fought to suppress the panic rising within hem
He tried to stay composed , but the tremor in his voico betrayed him . He added , “ Ms. Saxon , what happened ? ”
Aria didn’t respond . She took slow steps toward him . Rhott wanted to escape , but his feet were glued to the ground .
“ Someone tampered with my car . Can I borrow yours ? ” Aris asked .
His heart pounded wildly as he stiffly nodded . “ Okay … ”
Rhett stepped aside . Aria went straight into the driver’s seat .
He stood there , frozen , until she rolled down the window and said , ‘
He wanted to say no , but that would only expose his fear .
In the end , Rhett reluctantly got into the passenger seat .
The moment he fastened his seatbelt , the car suddenly shot backed , forcing him forward and slamming him against the door .
Once out of the parking lot , the car galloped away at high speed .
Rhett clung tightly to the seat , his teeth chattering uncontrollably .
His heart raced wildly , and he only calmed down at the red light .
Aria pulled out her phone and dialed the insurance company . She handed over the tasks of calling the police and arranging compensation to them
without hesitation .
She said , “ Hand me your phone . ”
“ What was she planning to do ? ” Rhett thought
He looked at her in confusion , but he didn’t dare to disobey . He had personally witnessed her take down a group of men without breaking a sweat
He obediently handed over his phone .
The traffic light turned green .
Without warning , his phone was thrown out of the car window , tracing a perfect are before vanishing into the distance .

Rhett s eyes widened in shock as he asked , “ What the hell are you doing ?
Arlo glanced at him slightly . As the car accelerated , the growing speed made him clamp his mouth shut in fear .
“ Rhett Sutton , twenty years old . Patents divorced when you were young , and they both remarried . You were raised by your grandmothe Kanit University , currently on leave , ” Aria said .
Her sudden sentences made Rhett’s eyes widen further . He asked , “ What … What did you just say ? ”
Aria asked , “ You worked so hard to get into Kanit University , Why throw it all away now ? ”
thett’s grip on the seat tightened , he thought , ‘ How did she know all this quickly ? ”
The car fell into heavy silence , neither of them speaking .
When they arrived at the Saxon family , Aria stepped out of the car and said coldly . “ You’ve got one week to decide either fix this mess or keep throwing yourself deeper . ”
Leaving those words behind , she turned and walked away . thell leaned against the passenger seat , finally releasing his grip on the armrest , his body drained of strength .
He knew he would fail , and he had only been trying to buy time .
He thought , ‘ Could she really help us ? ‘
As soon as Aria arrived , a crowd of people gathered around her . Among them , Elena’s voice was the loudest
She said , “ Aria , you’re absolutely heartless ! To make everyone use your recommended beauty cream , you actually added harmful ingredients to it
“ You’ve made your dirty money . Now our faces are ruined . How are you going to compensate
* us ? ”
The crowd was so dense that Zoe couldn’t even squeeze through , only catching a glimpse of Aria’s head .
Though their faces were covered , the exposed patches of skin were enough for Aria to identify the issue . Her gaze turned cold as she looked at Elena , Aria asked , “ Dirty money ? You told them I took money ? ”
Elena avoided her gaze , her voice faltering . “ The beauty
by cream came from you ,
u , so it must be your mistake . ”
Hannah stepped forward and asked , “ Aria , what exactly did you put in the beauty cream ? It’s ruined everyone’s faces ! ”
One of the women shouted angrily , “ if my face isn’t fixed , call the police . I don’t care about the cost . I’ll make sure my husband stops working with the Saxon Group . ”
“ I’ll tell my father to cancel all contracts with the Saxon Group as so
Luke
grew
as soon as I get home . ”
anxious upon hearing this . He said , “ The Saxon family cut ties with Aria long ago . Whatever she did has nothing to do with us ! ”
That was right . Using the Saxon family wouldn’t threaten Aria at all .
Aria asked calmly . “ You’ve been using this beauty cream for two years without any issues . Now that you’ve switched to other products and your faces are ruined , you came to me instead of investigating the problematic product ? Have you lost your senses ? ”
Hannah frowned at her and said , “ They’re elders . Show some respect . Sini is a senior researcher at Kerano Global Health . Her beauty cream is in high demand , even in Erenoland . I’ve used it without any problems . But somehow , the others who’ve used your cream are the ones with problems .
“ This product doesn’t even have a traceable manufacturer . It’s completely unregulated goods . The situation is urgent . Just tell us the seller so the ingredients and help them ”

Aria couldn’t be bothered to argue with Hannah and ignored her entirely . “ The beauty cream was developed by me . Its ingredi herbal . You can have any institution test II .
“ But your skin problems are obviously from some chemical junk , not my cream
Hannah sternly asked , “ Why would you give out something you casually developed ? ”
Aria shot her cold glare and said , “ That’s not your concern . ”
Then she looked at others and continued , “ When Elena had acne , I developed this beauty cream specifically for her condition . When she suggested giving it to you all , I emphasized that everyone’s skin is different . What works for her might not work for you ”
“ What ? We spent a lot of money on it ! And she never told us it was developed for her skin ”
Ana’s cold gaze landed on Elena , who instinctively wanted to deny it . Aria said calmly , “ Elena , I still have our chat records
Elena was speechless and thought , “ Bastard . ”
Elena resorted to playing the victim . She said , “ Even if I did charge for it , so what ? My face is ruined too . It’s all your fault . You have to tak
esponsibility ”
Aria said , “ Even if I handed you the full ingredient list , you’d still find a way to blame me . You can check the beauty cream anytime , if there’s a problem , I’ll take full responsibility . ”
Her calm expression made others hesitate .
Aria added , “ I can cure your faces ”
They looked up in surprise , and heard , “ But you’ll have to pay the price . ”
