Chapter 155
Cloe wasn’t fazed by the comment . She let out a charming laugh and retorted , “ I live my life openly unlike cone hypocrites who cariest and they com business and end up snooping around my doorstep . ”
The moment Aria heard Cloe’s name , she immediately walked over , with Victor following close behind .
She called , “ Cloe . ”
Seeing someone arrive , the sweating manager looked as if he’d just been saved , his expression one of immense relief .
Aria said , “ Mr. Hypocrite , step aside . ”
The sudden remark made the manager’s face go white as a sheet , his hand flying to his chest as if he were about to keel over ,
Victor’s eyes widened when he saw it was Owen . His heart sank .
He thought , ‘ Oh crap , Aria and Kim are at it again . This deal’s as good as dead !
The chip collaboration between Shaw Group and Cole Group had been gaining momentum , with Liam increasingly involved with Shaw Group .
After drinking quite a bit , Liam excused himself to another executive . “ I’ll be right back , just need to use the restroom . ”
As Liam rounded the corner , his steps faltered , and he froze in place , his mind racing at the sight before him . He was surprised to see Aria here with
Owen .
He hurried over .
Kim shifted his seat with a blank expression , casting a sidelong glance at Aria . “ Ms. Saxon , do you even bother checking what kind of people you hang out with ? Stick with money – grubbers , and you’ll just end up being their personal ATM . ”
Aria let out a cold laugh . “ Who do you think you are , my dad ? Since when do you get to dictate my friends ? ”
The manager stiffened , cold sweat trickling down his back as he realized the situation was spiraling out of control . He quickly backed away and sent a frantic message to the second young master : [ Mr. Shaw , help ! The boss is in a shouting match ! ]
Owen replied : [ Can’t he handle it ? ]
The manager was speechless .
The manager sent : [ But he is facing two women – one is Cloe Woods , the owner of Havoron Restaurant and the other is Aría, the Saxon family’s heiress . ]
Owen had just stepped into the elevator but immediately turned around and walked out , typing : [ Try to hold them off . ]
The manager sighed . Both women were formidable , so he thought his boss might not stand a chance .
A new message popped up : [ Don’t let Kim bully the ladies . ]
The manager was speechless .
“ Arial ” Liam exclaimed in shock after hearing Aria’s retort to Kim . “ Do you even know who Mr. Shaw is ? ”
The room went dead silent , the air thick with tension after his outburst .
Kim shot Liam a frosty glare , but the latter seemed oblivious to it . Turning to Aria , Liam demanded , “ Apologize . ”
Aria’s gaze was icy . “ Mind your own business and stay out of it . Shoo . ”

Liam’s face darkened instantly , but before he could respond , Kim’s cold , piercing gaze shifted to him . “ Ms. Saxon , Stars Group and Shaw Gracepti joint project . I suppose there’s no need to continue with it . ”
Cloe stepped in front of Alia , shielding her like a protective wall , her eyes blazing personal scores ! ”
“ And what if I am ? ” Kim replied indifferently .
with fury . “ Kim , you’re as petty as ever , using public matters to cesta
Victor joined the two women , standing firmly by their side . “ Mr. Shaw , don’t act like Stars Group is desperate for Shaw Group . We can collaborate with other companies just as easily . ”
To him , Aria held more importance than any other chairman .
Kim raised an eyebrow , slightly surprised at Victor’s support for Aria . “ And you think you can speak for Stars Group ? ”
Victor lifted his chin proudly . “ Aria is Stars Group’s largest shareholder . Even our chairman listens to her . Of course , she can represent Stars Group ! ”
Liam’s eyes widened in shock . “ Aria is Stars Group’s largest shareholder ? The mysterious investor who poured money into Stars Group ? ”
“ That’s right , ” said Victor .
Liam exclaimed , “ Impossible ! ”
Watching others ‘ stunned faces , Victor smirked . “ Believe it or not , Stars Group’s golden goose isn’t someone you can mess with . ”
Cloe glanced at the manager . “ I’m a Yellan Club VIP . Kick out the troublemakers . ”
Sweating profusely , the manager adhered to the principle of prioritizing guests and whispered to Kim , “ Boss , shouldn’t you return to your private room ? ”
Kim was shocked that his own employee seriously kicked him out .
Cloe snorted coldly , pulling Aria into a private room . She instructed the manager to summon the male model she had booked earlier .
