Chapter 91

91
The Saxon family had always been deeply rooted in tradition , prioritizing family honor and reputation above all ehe . Respecting elders , showing hospitality , maintaining humility , and adhering to a strict hierarchy – these values were second nature to them .
Growing up in such an environment , these rules and principles had been ingrained in every member of the Saxon family .
Even after marrying into the Fletcher family , Glola’s influence within the Saxon Group hadn’t waned ; if anything , it had grown stronger .
Aria was undeniably talented , and Logan had once intended for her to join the Saxon Group . But with her strained relationship with the family , her path forward looked increasingly difficult .
More importantly , her sharp and defensive nature often ended up hurting those who genuinely cared about her .
Deliberately , Logan said in a low voice , “ Aria , you might not think of yourself as part of the Saxon family , but you can’t change the fact that your last name is Saxon . Your aunt might have been blunt , but she didn’t mean any harm . She …
“ Mr. Saxon .” Ana lifted her head slightly , the sunlight casting across her face . Instead of softening her features , it only highlighted her sharp , icy
demeanor .
She mocked calmly , “ You’ve already cut ties with me . Now you show up with these people , blocking my way and lecturing me without so much as an explanation . What for ? Did the Saxons run out of people to push around ? ”
Logan froze , caught off guard by the indifference and biting sarcasm in her gaze . He wanted to explain , but no words came out of his mouth .
He had thought that everything was under his control , and Aria’s alienation wasn’t within his expectations .
Tears welled up in Zoe’s eyes as she said , “ Aria , it’s not like that . We already explained everything on WhatsApp – it was just a temporary measure . Now that the situation’s been resolved , your grandfather promised he won’t interfere with our branch anymore , and he won’t try to control you . ”
They told her to ignore the online rumors , to endure it for a while . Once everything was settled , no one would stop her from returning to the Saxon
family .
Even Joseph would treat her as one of his own .
Whatever Silvia had , she would have too ,
e could even join the Saxon Group , and with her abilities , her position wouldn’t below .
She
To them , it seemed like she was desperate to come back to the Saxon family .
Aria chuckled , her deep gaze sweeping over them . “ What makes you think I’m desperate to come back ? What has the Saxon family ever done for me ? Why would I care about your approval or affection ? ”
When she was struggling and under attack from rumors , they didn’t stand by her . Instead , they used the excuse of “ looking out for her future to sever ties with har
Now that the dust had settled , they suddenly wanted her back .
They were the ones who cut ties , and now they tried to get her back .
Gloria scoffed , her tone sharp . “ Without the Saxon family , do you think you could’ve married into the Cole family ? Could you have gotten the 150 million dollars and those shares ? ”
Aria let out a mocking laugh , her voice dripping with sarcasm . “ Ms. Saxon , is the Cole family some kind of treasure trave ? Why does everyone act like marrying into their family was the jackpot for me ? If the Cole family is so amazing , then why did you go to such lengths to call off the engagement back then ? ”

Several of the Cole Group’s busin
les were steadily declining , and signs of erials were beginning to emerge
The Saxon family thought the Cole family was beneath them and didn’t want Silvia to be part of the Coles . But when it came to Arie , en pointed to one thing without the Saxon family , she’d never have been able to marry into such a wealthy family .
Gloria’s face twisted in disdain . “ You grew up in the countryside , with no education and nothing to show for yourself except partying and wast How could you possibly compare to Silvia ? ”
Silvia’s expression shifted , her voice sharp . “ Aunt Glorial ”
Zoe panicked , Instinctively stepping in . “ Gloria , Silvia and Arla’s situations are completely different . How can you even compare them ? ”
In other words , Gloria shouldn’t have compared Aria to Silvia ; Zor wasn’t defending Aria .
To the Saxon family , she wasn’t even worthy of being compared to Silvia .
Caleb’s face darkened , his voice colder than ice . “ Aunt Gloria , are you here to apologize and bring her back , or just to stir up trouble ? ”
At that moment , Logan deeply regretted bringing Aria along . ‘ Gloria , can you just stop talking for once ? ”
