I Chose Me Over My Marriage novel Chapter 132

Aria nodded, and as she looked down, she spotted the manila folder in Maxwell's hand. She froze for a moment, recalling the scene she had just witnessed, and a sudden realization washed over her.

"Max, Jade is... well, I've known her for a while now. She plays for both teams, and she's ruthless. You really need to be careful around her."

The worry in her eyes was practically overflowing.

"Instead of worrying about me, you should spend that energy looking out for yourself. My business has nothing to do with you, and it's not your place to dictate what I choose to do."

With that, Maxwell turned to walk away, but Aria abruptly grabbed his wrist.

"Max, you said it yourself—we're in the same boat now. You can talk to me if something's bothering you. If we work together, we'll be stronger than if you try to handle this all alone."

As she spoke, she seemed to realize how deeply Maxwell despised her presence right now, and she quietly took a step back, giving him some space.

"I know you're furious that I lied to you, but everything I did was because I loved you too much. You can see my devotion. No matter what happens, I will always stand firmly by your side."

Maxwell aggressively shook off her hand. "Your 'devotion' is the most laughable thing in this entire world."

If he had known this day would come, he never would have walked this path.

Maxwell's shove carried a surprising amount of force. Caught off guard, Aria stumbled, her balance failing as she tipped uncontrollably backward.

She hit the ground hard, forced to watch helplessly as Maxwell walked away without a backward glance.

Gasping for air, she lay there for a long time, completely stunned.

Her assistant happened to return just in time to witness the fall. Rushing over, she frantically helped Aria sit up, asking in a panic, "Aria, are you okay?"
