NOVPUBChapter 1177: 532 Commoner_1 Chapter 1177: 532 Commoner_1 Madam Aria gradually calmed down, lying in bed with empty eyes, motionless.
Peter Aria tucked her in, gently saying, “Go to sleep early.
Tomorrow will be a good day.”
As he got up to leave, his hand was suddenly grabbed.
Peter turned to look, a hand like an old vine was gripping his.
“There will be trouble tomorrow.”
Peter was stunned, quietly consoling, “I’m here, nothing bad will happen.
You just rest.”
“Peter, do you remember the legend of the Hayley Family Treasure?”
Peter Aria answered, “Isn’t it just a rumor?”
Madam Aria shook her head, “I’ve been reminiscing about my youth these days, when I was young and naive.
Looking back now, everything was a carefully designed trap, for which I paid a terrible price.”
Peter sat back down: “Please, go on.”
The wind from the window blended into the long night, making it an unbearable one.

“Master McKay, Virginia Frost is making a move.” Finnian Moore quickly walked in to report.
The man sitting on the sofa narrowed his eyes, neutrally commanding, “Speak.”
“Vanessa Aria recently hit Mr.
Lewis’s son with her car at the Branch Mountain junction.
If it wasn’t for the timely appearance of the Mistress, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
Her plan to kill two birds with one stone is truly ruthless.”
Agave Rinto furrowed his eyebrows: “Is she working with Virginia Frost?” 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
“We’ve confirmed her identity.
She’s from the WT Organization, code-name Sunflower Brown.
Since thirteen years ago, under Virginia’s manipulation, she’s been acting as Madam Aria’s long-lost daughter.
But actually, she’s just a fake.”
“A fake?” Agave Rinto frowned deeply, “So, she started strategizing so long ago.”
This woman is overly ambitious, “What exactly does she want?”
Or rather, what does she hope to gain from the Aria family?
If Vanessa uses her fake identity to offend the Lewis on behalf of the Arias, this meticulously planned move that took decades would be completely exposed, unless, she no longer wanted to play the game.
Agave thought of Peter.
His attitude towards Vanessa Aria when he was in Pethkids was somewhat intriguing.
Maybe someone has forced her into a corner, making her reveal her true identity.
Agave suddenly felt like he had forgotten something, that thread was floating in his mind, however, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t grasp it.
This feeling of helplessness brought a sense of defeat from the bottom of his heart.
“Master McKay, this Virginia Frost is truly malicious.
One Marshella Yates is not enough, and now she brings in Sunflower.
She’s treating everyone like fools!”
Agave Rinto suddenly looked up, his eyes sharp as a torch: “Marshella Yates?”
He stood up abruptly, his pupils contracted in shock, “So that’s how it is.”

Kelly Martinez caressed the embroidered cheongsam, murmuring, “It’s really beautiful, Esther.
You’re amazing.”
Esther laughed, “This dress was custom designed for Aubree Groove.
She looked amazing when she tried it on a few days ago.
To make it perfect, I made some minor modifications.
Fortunately, it didn’t delay your plans.”
Aubree Groove, in a simple long dress, poured a cup of tea and placed it on the table in front of Esther.
Esther glanced at Aubree, tentatively asking, “Will Aubree wear this cheongsam to an important occasion tomorrow?”
Aubree looked at Kelly.
Kelly Hassel was somewhat guilty, quickly attempted to change the subject, “Right, is your son Sunnie doing well recently?”
Mentioning her son, the smile on Esther’s face became even warmer: “That boy is getting more and more mischievous.
I better not bring him to disturb you guys.”
Esther checked the time: “It’s getting late.
I should go.
I have to attend an elder’s birthday feast tomorrow.”
Kelly raised an eyebrow: “Granny Aria?”
Esther was surprised: “You know about it?”
Kelly laughed: “It’s the biggest event in Lostswa recently.
Granny Aria is renowned for her wide-ranged knowledge, and her impeccable character.
One would be lucky to meet her in person.”
“There will be opportunities in the future.”
Kelly saw Esther off to the door and waved goodbye when she got into the elevator: “See you tomorrow.”
Kelly closed the door, turned around, and saw a young girl sitting quietly on the sofa, drinking tea.
She rushed over and hugged her shoulders.
“Come with me tomorrow.”
The young lady’s eyelashes drooped, her face as flawless as the finest white jade, exuding a hint of aloofness in its warmth.
“Why?”
“Because I want you to experience more of life, form more connections, and have a powerful backer.
So, nobody can bully you in the future.” Kelly spoke with conviction.
