Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 535

Aiden's expression turned lethal. Earlier, his gaze had carried hints of darkness; now it looked capable of drowning the entire world in darkness.

He didn't want to believe it —didn't want to believe that behind it all, it was no one else but sweet grandmother on whom Arwen had come to depend on all these years.

But now with the evidence so clear, he could not.

Arwen had been having these chocolates for years. And every time it was sent to her by Brenda Davies. If not her, who else could be behind it?

She was Arwen's grandmother —one who had all the easy access to her.

And she used it to her advantage.

His jaws ticked as he gritted his teeth, trying his best to keep calm against the betrayal.

Jason gazed at his friend and didn't know how he should react. The reports he read have even confused him. As he had told earlier, he didn't know much about Brenda Davies. But from what he knew, he never thought the old woman would be cruel enough to use something like this on her own granddaughter.

To the world, Brenda Davies was a clinical businesswoman who had built up an empire from scratch. But at the same time, she had appeared to be a shrewd woman who knew how to differentiate right from wrong. Always.

Drugging her own granddaughter for some personal objective … she didn't seem to be that kind of woman.

But then again, the reports wouldn't lie.

He was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the screech of the chair and saw Aiden finally stand to his full height. His gaze was devoid of any warmth —all it carried at the moment was the biting frostiness that would pierce anyone's soul without any regret.

"Aiden," Jason called, alarmed, rising to his feet, "What are you planning to do?"

Aiden's expression was unreadable, and he couldn't guess his thoughts. But he could tell his friend was in a state where he would destroy the world without batting an eye.

Aiden didn't respond to him. His gaze simply flicked to him before he turned on his heels to walk away.

Jason couldn't let him go like that. Not when he knew that Aiden was not in a state where he could holistically think about the situation.

"Tell me, you aren't planning to return home like this?" he asked, frowning at the idea, if that's what Aiden was planning to do. "Arwen will know it the moment she sees you like this? How are you going to explain it to her?"

Aiden halted at that. He didn't turn, but seeing him stop, Jason continued further.

"Arwen is not in a state where you could tell her all, Aiden. She doesn't even know that she has forgotten a part of her past —one that she might never be able to recover." He paused, and his voice became soft when he spoke again. "If you go and tell her something, he will have a lot of questions to ask. Do you think you have the courage to tell her all —especially knowing that it would only put her life at stake?"

Aiden's fingers curled into fists when the reality dawned upon him —one that he had almost forgotten.
