Divorced, But Queen - Chapter 133: Chapter 133

Elena's face twisted with anger. "If I'd known back then, I never would've let her step foot in my house!"
Hannah said nothing but quietly shared the livestream with a few marketing accounts, her lips curling into a sly smile.
It was dinner time when Aria and Owen left the lab and noticed the entertainment news and live stream notifications.
"Do you need me to step in as your lawyer?" Owen asked.
"Not for now. I can handle it myself." Aria flipped her phone face down on the table. "Mr. Shaw, let's wrap up for tonight. I need to take care of something."
"If you need anything, just let me know." Owen replied before leaving.
Once Owen was gone, Aria went to her room, opened her laptop, and clicked into the live stream. Her fingers flew across the keyboard quickly.
She wasn't as skilled as Vanessa at programming, but tracing a location was well within her capabilities.
After pinpointing Alice and Austin's location, Aria immediately called the police.
Henry had exploited her for money, forcing her to wear a dress and dance. She crippled his leg, and that settled the score.
Dominic and Alice had sold her off, throwing her life into chaos. The journey was rough, but it ultimately shaped her for the better. That, she could let go.
But selling Pearl? That was something she couldn't let go.
If they were so eager to destroy themselves, she'd gladly help them along the way.
Most of the audience tuned in for the drama, but none of them expected to witness the police entering live.
That was clean and efficient.
[Shit! The cops actually showed up at the scene?]
[Did the Saxon family step in?]
[I've been watching for hours but still can't tell if it's true.]
[Accusing a young girl of something so awful must be fake.]
[Well, there was that child murder case recently, so it might not be entirely false.]
Mary froze for a moment, then quickly ended the stream.
She never imagined the media would release a high-res version of her injury report, complete with a detailed analysis claiming Aria had a mental illness.
Mary had only shared the report with Hannah. Did Hannah leak it to the media?
As the police took the two culprits away, Mary panicked, terrified she might be next, and started blaming Hannah.
Her husband stormed in, furious, and slapped her hard across the face. "The stream's blowing up! Why'd you stop?"
Mary sobbed. "The police took them away!"
Her husband thundered, "What does that have to do with you? You think you can waste a golden opportunity to make money? Get back online, or else!"
In Cole Group, the tech R&D center had been using subpar equipment, leading to inaccurate results and months of experimental data being scrapped.
Liam was swamped with work. When Aria's call came through, he answered irritably, "What now?"
She sneered, "Your sweet Hannah is so kind, huh? She didn't even bother calling the cops about the contract for me?"
Liam was momentarily stunned. "Can't you call the cops yourself?"
"Give me the contract," she demanded.
"And why should I? What makes you think you can act so entitled?" he retorted.
Aria's voice was calm, but her words were sharp. "Why shouldn't I? It's mine, isn't it? Or are you holding onto it because you still can't get over me?"
"Are you out of your mind?" Liam scoffed, his temper flaring. "Can't get over you? It's just a piece of paper in the study drawer. Go get it yourself!"
"Thanks," she replied curtly.
The line went dead with a sharp click, leaving Liam momentarily stunned. By the time he realized what had happened, it was already too late.
The study was full of important documents, some of which could cause serious trouble if they fell into the wrong hands.
They were divorced. What right did she have to go into his study?
Liam called Aria back, but she didn't answer.
Frustrated, he raked a hand through his hair, grabbed his jacket, and stormed out.
Half an hour later, Liam arrived home. The butler greeted him at the door. "Mr. Cole... Ms. Saxon has gone into the study."
"I know," he replied tersely.
Liam rushed to the study and saw Aria holding the complaint letter he had written. His face darkened as he stormed toward her, his voice sharp and furious, "Aria!"
