After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 342

The old man’s face flushed red with anger. “Are you calling me disgusting?! You’re calling me disgusting?!”

He was up in years, but his voice was loud. As he yelled at Aria, her ears started to ring.

He seemed healthier than Aria and Raphael combined…

For a moment, Aria wasn't sure who the real victim was here.

“I can accept your demand for one million dollars.”

Aria still cautiously pulled Raphael behind her.

Raphael looked at the figure shielding him, and his Adam’s apple bobbed.

After his surgery all those years ago, he had forced his eyes open to see the very same silhouette.

She was tall and slender, a seemingly fragile figure, yet seeing her gave Raphael an inexplicable sense of security.

“What did you say? One million dollars? You can accept that?”

The old man was stunned. He dug a finger in his ear, unable to believe Aria would agree so easily.

Aria nodded. “Yes, I agree.”

The old man’s face instantly broke into a wide grin, his entire attitude shifting.

“For such a young lady to be so reasonable, you must be a great boss! My son isn’t married yet, you should be my daughter-in-law…”

Kelly, horrified, quickly cut the man off. “Sir, Ms. Rowan is already married!”

The old man’s face fell immediately. “Married so young? You didn’t sleep your way to the top, did you?”

A collective gasp went through the surrounding crowd.

Before, when they didn’t know who Aria was, they might have let such a comment slide. But now, who didn’t know she was married to Gideon?

This was like poking a sleeping bear.
