Chapter 1232: 552 Second Night_1 Chapter 1232: 552 Second Night_1 By the time Aubree Groove returned to the Arias, it was already midnight.

“Madam kept asking me about you and Mr.

Cook before she went to bed.

Actually, I don’t know much either.

I have read some gossip online before and picked some out to tell Madam.

Madam was very pleased and determined that Mr.

Cook would be her future grandson-in-law.”

Loretta seemed to realize that she had overstepped her bounds, “I apologize if I said too much.”

Aubree smiled, “That’s fine.

...

These past days when I lost at home, how was grandma?”

“Mr. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎

Cook notified in advance that you will stay in the hospital to take care of him.

Make sure not to let it slip in front of Madam.”

When Aubree went back to her room, Loretta suddenly spoke, “Aubree.”

Aubree looked up at her.

“Could you always stay here?”

Aubree smiled, “Of course, this is my home.”

Loretta narrowed her eyes into a line as she smiled, “What would you like to eat tomorrow morning?”

Aubree seriously thought about it: “Hot and spicy soup and deep-fried dough sticks.”

Loretta’s eyes lit up.

It was the first time Aubree had actively made a request, which was a good sign.

“By the way, don’t look at your phone tonight.

Sleep early and get up late tomorrow morning.”

“Okay.”

Watching Aubree close the door, Loretta turned and left.

She changed into a black outfit and left the Arias by car.

At this time, it was late at night.

Loretta drove to the Frost’s Villa.

She was stopped before she got close.

Dixon Chambers recognized her as one of the Aria’s people.

Before he could ask Night Hawk, a callous voice came from his earphones, “Let her in.”

Loretta made her way, unimpeded, to Virginia Frost.

“Madam Frost, long time no see.”

Virginia Frost scoffed coldly, “What, has Peter Aria sent you here to kick me while I’m down?”

“Our young master wouldn’t stoop so low.

It’s a personal score I want to settle with you.”

Virginia Frost raised an eyebrow, completely disregarding her.

“Many people have a grudge against me, what makes you so special?”

“I might be insignificant in your eyes, Madam, but my hatred for you isn’t any less.”

Loretta slowly undid the buttons of her clothing and took off her coat.

Draco Fergus, who had been monitoring the scene through surveillance, shifted his gaze, only to see the man beside him, eyes unblinking, staring at the screen.

A thought crossed Draco’s mind: had the boss been single for too long?

“Do you still recognize these scars on my body, Madam?”

On the woman’s back was a horrifying and ugly collection of scars.

If you looked closely, it wasn’t difficult to see they were burn scars.

Virginia Frost squinted her eyes.

“Twenty years ago, Avalon, Tata Village, Blue Mountain.”

Loretta put on her coat, slowly turned around, her eyes hiding a deep-seated hatred, “I could never forget that fire.”

Virginia Frost’s pupils contracted sharply, “You wretch, you’re still alive?”

“I’m sorry to disappoint you, Madam.

Not only am I alive, I have been waiting for years for my revenge, and finally, the day has come.”

Virginia Frost’s hands clenched and unclenched at her sides.

A cold smile played on her lips, her gaze as sharp as knives, “I’ve somehow let you, the one who slipped through the net, live for twenty more years.

That’s my sin.”

Unable to bear it any longer, Loretta rushed forward, gripping Virginia Frost’s collar, “You poisonous woman, just as malicious as Cherish Frost.

He’s already gone, why can’t you let him be?”

“Why?

Because he betrayed my mother, abandoned me, and dared to dream of growing old with a village woman.

My mother was so dignified, and he humiliated her like this.

He even fathered two illegitimate children.

I swore that even if he fled to the ends of the earth, I would track him down and bring him to my mother.

In this lifetime, I’ll keep him tied to my mother, even if he lives like a dog.”

Loretta landed a hard punch on her face, “You’re a madwoman.”

Virginia Frost harshly spat out a mouthful of blood, smiling eerily, “I’ve killed so many, I had nearly forgotten about you two lowlifes.

I was too careless back then, to let you escape.

But your sister wasn’t as lucky.”

Loretta, her eyes bloodshot, grabbed Virginia Frost’s collar, demanding, “Where’s my sister?

Where did you hide her?”

Virginia Frost merely laughed, whispering into Loretta’s ear—so only the two of them could hear—”If you help me escape, I’ll tell you where she is.”

Clenching her teeth, Loretta responded, “You’re a cunning and treacherous woman, how can I believe your words?”

Virginia Frost smirked, eyes on the surveillance camera in the corner as she said slowly, “When she first fell into my hands, she was worn out, barely recognizable.

I didn’t have to torture her on purpose.

Then one day, she suddenly started eating and sleeping, started living like a human again.

That’s when I noticed her hidden pregnancy.

She was carrying a child.

Any woman who’s been a mother would know, a mother can risk it all for her child.

For the sake of her child, she groveled at my feet, begging me relentlessly to spare her and her child.

I was so thrilled then.”

Loretta breathed deeply, fearing she might kill the woman in front of her.

“At first, I wanted to kill her.

But after learning that she was pregnant, I changed my mind.

If she loves her child so much that she is willing to give everything for them, separating them and denying them the chance to see each other again should be a punishment worse than death for her.”

“You’re also a mother, don’t you fear retribution?”

Virginia Frost’s eyes suddenly turned cold and ruthless.

Swiftly, she reached out and choked Loretta, “Retribution?

You dare mention retribution to me?

The one who should get retribution is Phoebe Parker and that man who’s disloyal and ungrateful, abandoning his wife and daughter.

As it turned out, he did receive his retribution.

And you, you’ve lived twenty years longer than you should have.

It’s time for you to join your ill-fated mother in Hell.”

A dagger appeared from within Loretta’s sleeve.

She firmly gripped it, slashing it viciously towards Virginia Frost’s arm.

In a bid for self-protection, Virginia Frost let go, stepping back.

Loretta’s blade missed by a hair’s breadth, drawing a line of blood on Virginia Frost’s skin.

“Tell Peter Aria, if he wants to find his lover and daughter, he’d best do as I say.

Get lost, I don’t ever want to see you again.

Anyone associated with him sickens me.”

As the words fell, she turned around and never looked back.

Clenching her teeth, Loretta warned, “Virginia Frost, just you wait.”

Esme Fergus sighed, “I never imagined Peter Aria and Madam Frost having such deep-seated hatred.

The sins Madam Frost committed were too many, she’s torn apart so many families.”

The chilling thought of once working for this woman made his heart run cold.

If she could kill Aurora Brun, she could kill them too, sooner or later.

Thank goodness their boss took them away.

Night Hawk furrowed his brows, deep in thought and silent.

Esme Fergus suddenly said, “What if, in order to find his lover and daughter, Peter Aria rescues Madam Frost?

Then wouldn’t our efforts have been in vain?”

Night Hawk pondered, “We should have a chat with Peter Aria.”

——

After a night of anxious waiting, the fans woke up at dawn to a tweet from manager Keanu Ledger.

@supermanager.ramirez: I apologize for keeping everyone waiting.

Sullivan did have a little accident, but rest assured, it’s not like what the rumors say.

Due to some reasons, Sullivan is unable to address this himself and will be temporarily suspending all activities.

Please be patient, fans.

One day, Sullivan will return full of pride and glory.

I’ve already notified the police and retained all evidence against the rumormongers, and the lawyer’s letter follows.

After this tweet, the fans were temporarily appeased.

Immediately after, Keanu Ledger posted another tweet— Sullivan had already peacefully terminated his contract, not wanting any more trouble, but @aspenentertainment’s dirty tricks are nauseating.

We’ve endured it once, twice, we refuse to endure it any longer @aspenentertainment, see you in court.

The post was accompanied by a 9-picture grid, revealing all evidence of Aspen Entertainment’s high-level executives hiring trolls and cyber trolls to sabotage Anton Cook—not allowing any room for doubt or evasion.

—— So they were collecting evidence all night.

I love this hardcore approach, you’re doing your job as a manager.

—— Aspen Entertainment is utterly shameless.

Can’t they just part ways amicably?

Why do they have to make things difficult for my bro?

They falsified the contract and asked for a billion in penance from my bro.

It couldn’t get any worse.

—— It’s that old witch, Ivy Parker.

When she couldn’t suck Sullivan dry, she flew into a rage.

This old witch harbors such malice, she really ought to die.

—— @STgirlgroup, get out of the entertainment industry.

The voice in the audio clip is Stella White’s.

She’s throwing mud on Aubree Groove and acting like they were childhood friends.

Just another green-eyed monster.

—— @StellaWhite, get out of the entertainment industry.
