After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 155

Although Raphael had spent the last few years abroad for treatment, he was well aware of the upheavals within the Evernight family.

Aria had indeed carried this stigma for far too long.

Gideon, in particular, had made her life difficult because of it.

Just as Aria finished speaking, several police officers rushed in and seized the immobilized Harold.

"Let go of me! Let me go!" Harold's face was grim. "Aunt Helena, save me!"

"Aria! This is my birthday party! Are you deliberately trying to ruin it for me?!"

Helena's heart ached as she watched Harold wince in pain when the officers grabbed him, aggravating his injury.

For all the years Charles was abroad, Harold had been by her side. She loved him as if he were half a son to her.

Even if Harold had done something wrong now, she should have been told first, rather than having the police rush into her home and drag him away without her approval.

With so many media outlets outside, how could the Brent family ever show its face again?

Roxanne also understood the gravity of the situation for the Brent family. She walked up to Aria and raised her hand to slap her.

This time, Aria didn't just stand there and take it. She caught Roxanne's wrist.

"I did nothing wrong here."

Roxanne was furious. "Aria, if you still consider me your mother, you will drop this case immediately!"

"The Brent family has treated you well over the years! If you have any conscience left, you should be sweeping this under the rug!"

Aria scoffed.

By now, she had seen Roxanne's true colors clearly.

From the moment Roxanne found out Aria wasn't her biological daughter, she had been relentlessly exploiting her value.

It started with thirty million dollars, but every instance of guilt-tripping that followed was just a means to get more from her.

And now, because Aria had damaged the Brent family's interests, she was expected to endure any injustice, no matter how great.
