Chapter: 154
“| don’t know all the details. We can discuss it further when | know more.” “Okay.”
After hanging up, Ariana told Betsy about what had happened to Josh. Betsy grinned. “He deserves it!” @
That night, to celebrate Josh’s downfall, Betsy had an extra bowl of noodles, and Ariana, whose appetite had grown with the good news, drank a lot of soup.
Afterward, Ariana leaned back on the sofa, her mind wandering.
She stared at her phone for a while, and wondered whether she could tell Theodore that the matter had been resolved. @ In fact, when she had learned that Josh had been arrested, Theodore was the first person she thought of.
It was too much of a coincidence. Realistically, he was the only one who could’ve made it happen with that perfect timing. @ After thinking about it for a while, she finally plucked up the courage to call him.
“Hello. Theodore is busy right now. If you have a message, | can pass it on to him.”
The voice that answered the phone was soft, gentle, and female.
Ariana was stunned, She tried to move her lips to speak but couldn’t say anything.
“Hello? Hello? Are you there?”
Ariana realized she recognized the voice, which brought her back to her senses. “Where's Theodore? | have something to tell him myself.” @
There was a few moments of silence, before the woman spoke again. This time, her tone was a little colder. “He’s taking a shower. He can’t answer the phone right now.” @
Then she hung up.
Ariana gripped the phone tightly for a while.
Betsy started humming a song and walked over, holding a bag of chips. She sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.
Coincidentally, the news was on, and they were talking about Theodore. They were reporting that he had been seen being intimate with a young woman, and it appeared that the two were dating. @
Betsy was so surprised to discover Theodore’s romantic affair that she couldn’t keep her mouth shut. “Oh my God! That’s gossip about Theodore! Everyone knew he was rich but single. | didn’t expect him to find a girlfriend so quickly after the car accident.”
@ Without saying a word, Ariana watched the TV quietly. She was depressed, finding it difficult to breathe.
“Judging by the girl’s back, she doesn’t look half bad. No, she ought to be a stunner. Otherwise, why would Theodore be interested in her?” Betsy bit the chips with her eyes still fixed on the TV and muttered, “Unfortunately, he’s a disabled man stuck to a wheelchair with useless legs. And yet, she’s still with him. | guess the girl loves him very much. It seems that he’ll marry her soon.” @
Depressed, Ariana lowered her head. Her once bright eyes were now clouded with sadness. The screen of the phone in her hand was still on, with the first number on her call log being Theodore’s.
