After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 340

"Even an animal knows better. How can you break the rules so deliberately?"

Harold had intended to mock Aria, but her sharp tongue had turned the insult back on him and Roxanne.

"Regarding your compensation, I don't see it. If you don't pay me in a timely manner, I will sue you again."

Humiliated, Harold's voice grew louder. "The check is on the floor. Can't you pick it up yourself?"

Aria didn't bother giving Harold the time of day. After gathering her things, she prepared to leave with Ms. Ellington.

But Harold grabbed her arm. "Didn't you hear me? I said, pick it up!"

Aria slapped him across the face. "Let go!"

*Smack!*—

Five red finger marks immediately appeared on Harold's cheek.

"Aria, you're assaulting someone in the courtroom!" Nathan exploded. "Apologize to Harold right now!"

With Lilith gone, he had no children to his name. He would have to rely on the Brent family for his retirement. Given Aria's attitude, Nathan had no intention of leaving the Rowan family's assets to her.

He had already planned everything out in his mind.

"Assault?"

Raphael easily pulled Aria behind him.

"The security cameras will show who started it."

Nathan froze.

He had noticed Raphael, of course, but he never thought Raphael was here for Aria and would even stand up for her.

He'd assumed Raphael was only here because the Evernight family was worried about negative publicity.

Harold ground his back teeth, his desire to conquer Aria growing even stronger.
