After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 84

The thought that Aria's obedient and compliant demeanor had once been directed at Charles made him feel irritated.

Was she trying to get this project back now because of Charles?

Who did she really love? Or perhaps, what she had always loved most was money.

Aria returned to the Evernight estate.

To be safe, she took out the divorce agreement and reviewed it carefully once more.

In two weeks, she could file for divorce.

But in two weeks, would Old Mr. Evernight really pay her as promised?

Or would he continue to obstruct her divorce from Gideon?

Dawn's importance to the Evernight family would probably make Old Mr. Evernight desperately cling to Aria, his only connection to Dawn.

If things really turned ugly, she probably wouldn't be able to win against the Evernight Group.

Aria carefully put the divorce agreement away.

She then sent a message to her lawyer, asking about the feasibility of a consensual divorce.

The success rate was low, and it would be time-consuming.

Aria touched her stomach, then went downstairs to get something to eat.

Now, even if just for the baby, she tried to make herself eat more.

Her phone chimed.

[Professor: The research on the neurological drug has been transferred by the Evernight family to the Keene Group. From now on, you'll be co-authors.]

Aria's brow furrowed.

There was a problem with that drug; it absolutely shouldn't be produced or developed further. Alden Reaves wasn't unaware of this, so why did he agree?

[Professor: It was Aldous Evernight's order. I explained the dangers of the drug research clearly, but he still approved it. Aria, don't go against him. From today on, just pretend you don't know about the side effects.]

Aldous Evernight, who had taken the family name after marrying in, was the current Old Mr. Evernight.

Aria's pupils contracted. Her fingers flew across the keyboard: [Are other patients going to be needlessly harmed because of this?]
