After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 339

339 /367

Aria looked over at Roxanne, who couldn't hear their conversation and whose expression was unreadable.

"Let's deal with the current matter first," Aria said in a low voice. "I'll investigate what happened back then thoroughly."

Ms. Ellington nodded.

"Order! The defendant's family will not disrupt the court proceedings!"

The judge rapped his gavel.

Harold glared at Aria indignantly, but the more he looked, the more captivated he became.

After not seeing her for a while, Aria had gotten even more beautiful. She had gone from being as skinny as a rail to having a fuller, more alluring figure.

Harold swallowed hard, a little flustered.

Aside from Aria, he'd never had to work so hard for a woman he couldn't have, only to end up on the losing side.

At first, while he was in jail, he thought he hated her, but seeing her again now, he still felt that desire...

Aria was oblivious to Harold's disgusting thoughts, her mind drifting to the events of the past.

When exactly did Roxanne find out that she and Lilith had been swapped at birth?

And when did she find out about Nathan's affair?

If Roxanne had truly orchestrated the car accident all those years ago, did that mean she had also arranged for the truck that hit Lilith and Sylvia?

Aria's thoughts spiraled even further back.

Could it be... that the swap of her and Lilith's identities was also orchestrated by Roxanne?

Aria forced herself to stop thinking about it.

It had been over a decade. Mere speculation was meaningless.

The verdict was just as both Aria and Roxanne had expected. Roxanne was convicted only of defamation, but because she had proactively returned the hundred million dollars, the penalty was light.
