Chapter 211

hapter 211
Anabel shot back , “ Guess homewreckers really are impatient can’t wait to get into bed with a married man , hutzz
Those around them shot Llam and Hannah looks of disgust .
Hannah felt the sting of their scorn and glared at Anabel , icy as a blade . “ Liam and I are in love . Aría trapped Liam into mardage to get his mand . marriage was a mistake from the start . ”
Anabel leapt to her feet , furious . “ Everyone knows Aria risked her life to get your money back from the scammers ! Say another word and F’ll rid yone mouth off ! ”
Hannah retorted coldly , “ With a mouth like yours , it’s clear what kind of family raised you .”
A low , icy voice cut through the room . “ The Shaw family did .”
Everyone turned to the door .
Kim stood there , his gaze sweeping over Liam and Hannah , who stared at him in shock .
How could it be Kim ?
“ Kim ! ” Anabel ran over , grinning as she took his arm .
Kim frowned , looking down at her . “ How many times have you skipped class now ? And why do you always come to Mandino City ? ”
Anabel pouted . “ You’re here , aren’t you ? ”
Kim ignored her , sitting down to talk to the officers . After hearing what happened , he gave Anabel a frosty look . “ How much do you want for compensation ? ”
Liam managed a strained smile . “ Mr. Shaw , we had no idea Anabel was your cousin . Since that’s the case , let’s just let this go . ”
Hannah , unable to hold back , asked , “ Kim , Anabel is … ? ”
“ She’s my uncle’s daughter , ” Kim said simply .
Kim’s uncle was the head of the Shaw family in Kanit City – a power player you didn’t cross lightly , and the Cole Group had business ties with them .
Upsetting Anabel was almost as bad as offending Kim’s uncle himself .
Hannah’s fists clenched in frustration , her anger boiling . She took a deep breath and tried one last time . “ Kim , Aria must have said something to Anabe That’s why she attacked us . ”
Anabel rolled her eyes . “ That’s bull . ”
“ Anabel .” Kim’s tone was a warning , and Anabel swallowed her words .
Kim insisted on compensation .
Liam finally relented and accepted .
As Kim left the station with Anabel , he turned and said , “ You two might want to check the trending news – maybe think twice before accusing people
next time . ”
Once outside , Liam and Hannah fell behind , checking their phones – only then did they realize the scam syndicate had been bust
Liam muttered , “ Since when did Aria have the skills to help the police catch scammers ? The Saxon family must’ve gone all out to clear her name .”

The Fletchers and the Saxons were related . Fryderyk worked at the station …
The connections were obvious ,
The day he’d returned to Huthailia , it was Hannah’s words that had convinced Liam Aria’s money was dirty .
He tightened his grip on his phone . “ Hannah , let’s not talk like that anymore . ”
She nodded . “ I know . If I say anything now , everyone will just think I’m jealous and lying about Aria . ”
Liam opened his mouth , but nothing came out .
He felt something inside him collapse .
Meanwhile , Anabel piped up , “ Kim , this is the way to the high – speed rail station . I’m not going back . ”
Kim shot her a sideways glance . “ Then where are you going ? ”
Anabel shrugged . “ It’s not like I have class tomorrow . I told Mom already …”
“ I don’t have time to stay with you . ”
“ I’m going to Owen’s , ” she said .
“ Fine . ” Kim switched lanes and headed straight for Owen’s apartment .
When the elevator doors opened, Kim said , “ Go on , knock yourself . I’m out . ”
“ Okay ! ” Anabel rang the bell . A few seconds later , the door swung open .
“ Aria ? ” Anabel blinked , startled , and started to back away . “ Sorry , I must have the wrong door . ”
She turned to leave , but Aria’s voice stopped her , soft and clear . “ Looking for Owen ? ”
Anabel froze , her eyes widening in surprise . “ Wait … Are you Owen’s girlfriend ? ”
