After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 162

After all, Harold had been by Helena’s side for so many years. No matter what a jerk he was, Charles couldn't just abandon him.

The dial tone droned in her ear.

Aria lowered her phone and looked at the urn in Raphael’s hands.

Rufus had died because of Harold, and now Charles was using Rufus to threaten her.

It was utterly humiliating.

Aria wiped away her tears.

However, she already had a plan.

“Thank you.”

Aria’s voice softened, laced with unshed tears, brushing against Raphael’s heart like a feather.

“It’s nothing.” Raphael paused. “Do you need my help?”

Trouble with the Brent family must mean they were threatening Aria.

“No, thank you.” Aria took the urn containing Rufus’s ashes and carefully placed it on the table. “I can handle it.”

She had already placed an urgent order for another urn.

Now that Rufus was gone, she would just find some dirt of the same color and insist it was his ashes.

Even if she were caught, she would just claim she had already disposed of them and offer financial compensation.

But she would never give the real ashes to Charles.

Gideon returned late that night.

He had stayed with Lilith for a while after her blood transfusion before leaving.

“Where’s Aria?”

A maid replied, “She’s resting in her room, sir.”

Gideon went upstairs and entered Aria’s room without knocking.

Aria was in the shower and didn't hear him come in.

Gideon’s gaze fell on the urn on the table.
