I Chose Me Over My Marriage novel Chapter 180

Seeing this, the agent quickly stepped forward and blocked her path. "Did you go see Mr. York?"

Aria gave him a fleeting glance before staring blankly ahead.

"Didn't he just make it perfectly clear? From now on, your only job is to make sure I don't do anything illegal. As for the rest, I'll do whatever I want. Back off."

As she spoke, the agent's eyes darted to the dark, undeniable hickeys bruising her neck. He flinched, his pupils constricting in horror.

"Are you out of your mind? Do you have any idea what kind of man he is..."

"What kind of man?" Aria cut in with a mocking sneer. "If you expect me to bring in the cash, then keep your mouth shut. Make sure you answer your phone today and get ready to finalize the next projects. I refuse to sit idle. Book me as many commercials as you can. I don't care about their prestige, as long as the brand isn't involved in some massive scandal."

Before the agent could even process her demands, his phone began buzzing aggressively in his pocket.

By the time he pulled it out, Aria had already vanished into her room.

He stepped aside into the hallway and answered the call.

"Hello? Is this Ms. Moon's agent? This is York Media. We'd like to formally invite Ms. Moon to star in our upcoming drama. She has already expressed her interest, so we're calling to discuss her compensation package."

At that moment, the reality of what Aria had done finally crashed down on him. The gears of fate were turning, and there was nothing he could do to stop them.

Everything was hurtling down a very dark, irreversible path.

The next morning.

When Lyra came downstairs for breakfast, she instantly noticed the heavy atmosphere in the dining room.

A second later, she realized Miles was nowhere to be seen.

A sinking feeling in her gut told her that the awkward tension was directly related to him.

Taking her seat, she noticed Harrison and Eleanor actively avoiding her gaze.

What exactly had happened to make them act like this?

"Dad. Mom."

She spoke softly. Harrison was the first to look up, maintaining his usual gentle demeanor.
