Vanessa, unfazed by the outburst, stepped forward and stood in front of Aria. Her voice was sharp and deliberate, each word cutting like a blade. "You must've spent so much time wallowing in filth that you think everyone's just like you. Sure, I've got haters, but at least I've got principles—I don't cheat, I don't play mistress, and I don't wreck homes. If you're so desperate to be the poster child for shamelessness, go ahead, but keep your trash far away from me. It's revolting."
The crowd didn't fully grasp her words, but the sheer venom in them left everyone feeling sullied.
Amanda froze, her mouth agape in disbelief. So this was the infamous Vanessa, the queen of controversy.
No wonder she was known as the celebrity with the most haters in the industry.
That mouth of hers could poison anyone with just a single word.
She secretly nudged Kim. "Mr. Shaw, did you catch what Vanessa Ward was ranting about?"
He didn't answer her.
Amanda glanced up and saw Kim staring at Cloe with a peculiar expression. The surrounding noise seemed to fade into the background for him.
Her instincts told her there was something going on between these two.
She thought she might as well enjoy the other drama first.
Amanda continued to play the role of a curious bystander, soaking in the spectacle.
Liam's face alternated between pale and flushed, humiliation coursing through him like a tidal wave.
Hannah's expression was equally grim as she fixed her icy gaze on Aria. "Aria, love can't be forced. You're just jealous that Liam chose me. If you hadn't deceived him, none of this would've happened."
Upon hearing the word "deceived", someone discreetly pulled out their phone to record the scene.
Hannah's features were decent, and her hairstyle cleverly softened the angles of her square face, giving her a sharp and confident vibe that stood out in the crowd.
Both women had cold personalities, but Aria's aloofness wasn't in her appearance—it was in her gaze and aura. The indifference she exuded carried a hint of disdain, making people unconsciously overlook her looks.
When two women were vying for the same man, comparisons were inevitable.
And in this case, under the crowd's scrutiny, Hannah's flaws became glaringly obvious.
Aria was like an ice queen—stunning from afar, but so icy that people would feel the chill in their bones if they dared to get close.
Aria glanced at Hannah with a faint, mocking smile. "Ms. Gibson, care to explain? What exactly have I lied about?"
Hannah frowned, her expression tinged with hesitation and helplessness. "Aria, women already face so much unfair treatment compared to men. Reputation is everything to us.
"We shouldn't be tearing each other down—we should be lifting each other up. I don't want to make things harder for you or put you in a bad spot."
"You've already secured the shares, and now the Cole Group and Gibson Group are under fire. I haven't even exposed your secrets, but you keep pushing, stirring up trouble for the Cole Group again and again!"
Her words struck a chord with the crowd, pulling them deeper into the drama.
They wondered, 'She doesn't seem like someone who would ruin another's marriage. Could there be some misunderstanding here? And what is this deception she mentioned?'
Aria let out a derisive laugh. "Wow, Ms. Gibson, what a touching speech. I'm curious—what leverage do you think you have to sound so self-righteous?"
Liam frowned deeply. "Aria, if this gets out, it won't end well for you. Just stop meddling with the Cole Group, and we'll make sure your secret stays buried."
The more they beat around the bush, the more the onlookers' curiosity burned. They were practically itching to shout, "Just spill it already!"
Aria's voice was calm and indifferent. "Quit wasting time. Just say it."
Hannah's brows furrowed in anger, her heart seething with frustration. She truly couldn't understand that, after everything Aria had been through, how could she still look at her with such cold disdain?
Hannah sneered. "Aria, I gave you a chance. Are you sure you want me to say it out loud?"
Aria's tone was steady. "Go ahead."
Hannah took a deep breath, clearly furious. She suppressed her anger and snapped, "Aria, you were a child bride to some old man in your village for years! You deliberately kept this a secret and married Liam. That's bigamy!"
The crowd didn't fully grasp her words, but the sheer venom in them left everyone feeling sullied.
