Aria said , “ Trenton , I didn’t expect you , who loves your wife so much , to still have this side . ”
She had looked into the Stars Group board members , and Trenton had left the strongest impression .
He was supposedly a man who adored his wife , the perfect husband .
What a load of crap !
Trenton tried to maintain his composure and said , “ Ms. Saxon , you misunderstood . She’s my friend’s daughter . I was just looking out for her ”
Aria asked coldly , “ Do you think I’m stupid ? ”
Her expression was cold , her sharp gaze carrying an air of superiority .
Trenton didn’t understand why she was so arrogant and dared to teach him a lesson after being abandoned by her family . His face darkened , and his tone turned mocking . “ Ms. Saxon , even if you hold the largest stake in Stars Group , my position is no less significant than yours .
“ The Saxon family’s mess is common knowledge . Perhaps you should focus on your own business instead of meddling in my private affairs . ”
‘ Aria is a shareholder of Stars Group ? And she holds the largest stake ? ‘ Derek was a bit stunned when he heard this .
He glanced at Helen , conflicted . ‘ Helen , my classmate ! Should I even get involved in this mess ? ‘ he thought .
Victor was alarmed by Trenton’s words . The contract hadn’t even been signed yet . Offending Aria would surely ruin everything .
He immediately tried to smooth it . “ Ms. Saxon , what Trenton means is that he wasn’t bullying this girl . I can testify . ”
Aria’s cold gaze swept over him as she asked , “ Are you sure you want to testify ? ”
Her gaze was too oppressive , making Victor , who was feeling guilty , unable to say a word .
Everyone at Navoron Restaurant recognized Aria , including Helen . Upon hearing that Aria was a shareholder of Stars Group , Helen clung to her sleeve . She said , “ Ms. Saxon , he’s been exploiting Star Group’s name to funnel clients to his cousin’s company and pocketing the profits . ”
Upon hearing her words , Trenton and Victor’s faces turned pale .
Helen tried to speak , but Trenton , in a panic , rushed forward and shouted angrily , “ You’re spouting nonsense ! ”
Aria turned around and lifted her left foot high , fiercely kicking Trenton who was about to hit Helen .
With a scream , Trenton was sent flying , crashing to the ground .
“ Trash . ”
Aria retracted her foot , the hem of her dress rippling elegantly with the motion .
Derek’s eyes widened in shock . He quietly pulled back the foot he’d been about to step forward with . He thought , ‘ Well , not getting involved in this mess .’
Trenton lay on the ground , clutching his stomach as pain wracked his body . He coughed up blood and shouted , “ Aria ! I’ll sue you ! I’ll ruin you ! ”
Aria chuckled softly , stepped closer , and pressed her foot down on his head .
His chin slammed onto the floor . He spat out another mouthful of blood .
The others watched with pounding hearts , terrified she might actually kill Trenton .

Aria withdrew her foot and turned to Victor . She said , “ Trenton has been abusing his position for personal gain . I’ll leave it to you to investigate . The sooner you handle this , the sooner we can finalize the Hayes Group deal .
“ Any objections , Victor ? ”
Victor swallowed hard and nodded repeatedly . “ No , no . ”
He thought , ‘ How could I have been so blind ? I thought she relied on her looks . What a joke ! With that kind of presence and skill , no man would dare bully her ! I offended her before , luckily I wasn’t beaten today ‘
Aria turned to leave but paused beside Helen . She said , “ Contact Victor . He’ll make sure everything that’s rightfully your father’s is returned . ”
Victor immediately said , “ Yes , I’ll return it all . ”
“ Don’t forget to call the police . ”
The moment Aria turned her head to speak , Derek had already ducked behind the wall to avoid her gaze .
He thought , ‘ Everyone said Aria was rude , but why did no one talk about her fiery temper ? She threw a punch whenever she wanted ! ”
Derek was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t even hear the footsteps . It wasn’t until a figure appeared that he looked up , meeting a sharp gaze .
“ Had enough of watching ? ”
