After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 135

After talking with Raphael for a while longer, Aria got up to leave.

Eveline was sitting in the living room. When she saw Aria enter, she let out a cold snort. "Tomorrow, you better be on time when we leave!"

Aria didn't say a word. She no longer saw Eveline as a mother-in-law, but as a complete stranger.

She couldn't be bothered to respond.

"Did you hear what I said?" Eveline stood up and blocked Aria's path. "Since the old man wants to acknowledge your status, you'd better act sensible tomorrow and not disgrace the Evernight family!"

Aria smiled faintly, effortlessly deflecting the jab. "If you haven't managed to disgrace the family, how could I?"

Eveline's chest heaved with anger. She raised her hand to strike.

But Aria didn't flinch. Instead, she lifted her chin and looked at Eveline coolly. "Do you dare hit me? Tomorrow, the Evernight family's reputation rests on my face."

For a family that had reached their status, the only things more important than heirs were their reputation and public image.

Eveline knew perfectly well that now was not the time to get physical.

Besides, Aria was carrying a child. If the old man found out she had laid a hand on Aria again, her next trip might just be a one-way ticket abroad.

Eveline lowered her hand and glared at Aria fiercely. "After you have that baby, I'll make you pay!"

Aria tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and walked away. "I'll be waiting."

She didn't go back to her room.

Instead, she drove straight to the lab.

Since Raphael had given her three days for the application, Aria needed to produce some results to demonstrate her capabilities to the board.

The lights in the lab were blazing.

It was Mira.

Aria glanced at the time. It was already ten at night. "Mira, why are you still here?"
