Trouble in Paradise (Arianna and Nicholas) novel Chapter 551

The person was crying. "All the rumors about me online are fake! They're nothing but lies spread by Ariana. She is jealous that I'm the sister of the CEO of Hawk Corporation.

"She's always been jealous of my identity. She doesn't like how Nicholas treats me, or the closeness we share.

"When I lived at the Hawk Manor, Ariana never gave me a single day of peace. Nicholas saw how she bullied me and decided to give me Coral Villa as compensation.

"But Ariana couldn't accept it, so she took the house back and kicked me out. Yet, she still won't leave me alone and spreads these rumors to hurt me. Does she not understand how these rumors are worse than death for a woman?

"I even thought about ending my life. But luckily, Nicholas stood by me. He posted revealing photos of himself online just to keep me company. Now that she and Nicholas are divorced, she doesn't even care about his reputation anymore.

"Nicholas still holds on to the past and doesn't want to stoop to her level. But should I really just be bullied like this for no reason? He is such a good person. The only blemish in his life is that Ariana is his ex-wife..."

Through the crowded group, I saw the speaker was Claudia, dressed in a short, white, floral skirt.

Facing all the cameras from the media, she was passionately telling them how I "tormented" her. She appeared to be the helpless, pitiful victim who couldn't hold her tears back.

"Look! It's Ariana!"

One sharp-eyed reporter spotted me standing behind them, and in the next moment, all the cameras turned toward me.

They surged forward, yet subtly creating a path that led straight to Claudia. As I stepped closer, they shoved microphones toward me.
