After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 47

After compiling the successes from her research, Aria sent them to Alden Reaves and quickly received an invitation in return.

It wasn't just a standard invitation, but an invitation to present on stage as a researcher.

—"You have exceptional talent. If you present your research on stage, you're sure to attract a lot of investment."

—"Do you want to present as 'Dawn'? With the reputation you built from that surgery years ago, you'll definitely draw more attention."

Of course, she wanted to appear as Dawn.

Since she was going to be presenting, Aria had only one night to write her speech.

Aria was hunched over her desk in her rental apartment, writing.

She was completely oblivious to the torrential downpour outside.

Halfway through, Aria's phone rang.

Aria looked up. It was already eleven o'clock at night.

It was Old Mr. Evernight.

Aria hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to answer.

After all, her money was still in his hands.

"Grandfather, it's so late. Is something wrong?"

"The staff said you haven't come home yet," Old Mr. Evernight's steady voice came through the phone. "Where are you?"

Aria looked at the heavy rain outside and was silent for a moment. "I'm on my way back now."

The call was disconnected.

Aria let out a slow breath.

She saved the half-written draft to her phone, made sure the windows were tightly shut, and then went downstairs.

The rain was coming down in sheets.

In just a few steps, Aria was nearly soaked through.

She turned on the windshield wipers, but her vision was still blurry.

Her phone buzzed again.

[Old Mr. Evernight: Before midnight.]

The drive to the Evernight estate normally took half an hour, let alone in this heavy rain.

But in the business world, Old Mr. Evernight was known for his ruthless efficiency. If he said it, Aria had to obey.

She drove her car into the curtain of rain.
