After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 288

The government had actually been desperate to recruit Dawn for years, but the trail had always gone cold.

Even Samuel hadn't been able to track Dawn down online.

He only started paying attention to Aria after she posted her clarification on social media—no long-winded excuses, just dropping pure blockchain-verified evidence.

Later, when Aria publicly revealed her achievements, Samuel had hacked into the archives of a surgery Dawn had performed years ago and relentlessly cross-referenced the physical silhouettes.

That was when he finally deduced the truth: Dawn was Aria.

Around the same time, his family arranged for him to join Dawn's upcoming trial.

He simply couldn't fathom how a woman of her terrifying brilliance had wasted so much time at a newly listed corporate startup.

Even if that company had boundless potential, it was nothing compared to leading national-level research.

Now it all made sense. A man had been dragging her down.

Hearing Samuel's blunt question, Gideon's face darkened. "I have no relationship with Lilith."

"No relationship? That's not what I heard."

Samuel let out a sharp laugh.

"Everyone on the internet knows you and Lilith were practically attached at the hip. Honestly, I've never even heard of you being connected to Aria until today."

"Flaunting the mistress in public while hiding the actual wife? You're quite the player, aren't you?"

Aria had to bite the inside of her cheek to stop herself from laughing.

When she first met him, she thought Samuel was just shy, but it turned out he had quite the sharp tongue.

Gideon took a deep, jagged breath. "Aria, who the hell is this guy?"

Why were there always so many men circling around her?

Aria didn't even bother engaging with his jealousy. She cut straight to the chase.
