"She didn't even spare this founder—executed him on the spot. The Solemnity Guild leader valued her skills and let it slide." At this point, Orlando paused deliberately, his voice dripping with icy venom.
Then, he continued coldly, "Sara was utterly dependent on Madelyn Colton, but she was treated with cold indifference. When Madelyn Colton saw Sara being bullied, she simply turned away. That errand wasn't even supposed to be Sara's responsibility—Madelyn Colton deliberately assigned it to her."
At that point, he spat out angrily, "Although Marcus Payne was the prime culprit, Aria Saxon was an accomplice in Sara's death!
"Whether the assignment was real or fake, it doesn't change the fact that Sara died because of Aria Saxon.
"Russell, we can't let Aria Saxon get off that easy!"
Russell composed himself, slowly unclenching his fist as he asked, "Is Olivia still at Mayen Garden?"
Orlando replied, "Yeah, still at Mayen Garden."
Russell's lips curled into a cold, sinister smile as he said, "Let them tear each other apart."
Just then, a knock came at the private room door.
"Enter," Orlando said in a low, commanding voice.
The manager opened the door and said respectfully, "Mr. Nicholson, Ms. Olivia Remar is here to see you."
Orlando looked genuinely astonished. "How did Olivia manage to find this place?"
A cold glint flashed in Russell's eyes as he ordered, "Get another room. Bring her in."
The manager obeyed the order and left, promptly arranging for a new private room before instructing the reception staff to escort Olivia.
As soon as Olivia stepped into the private room and spotted Russell, her eyes lit up with delight. Without a moment's hesitation, she threw her arms wide and hurried over, eager to pull him into a hug.
Olivia cried out excitedly, "Russell!"
Russell sat angled on the sofa, picking up a document with practiced ease—subtly using it as a barrier to Olivia's attempted embrace.
He wore a gentle smile, his tone laced with feigned concern. "This place isn't exactly safe. What brings you here unannounced?"
Olivia naturally looped her arm through his and said coyly, "It was a pretty neighbor downstairs—a girl named Aria Saxon. I told her I was your fiancee, and she suggested I come find you at the Aureus Club."
All the while she spoke, Olivia was studying Russell's reaction.
Sure enough, a strange expression flickered across Russell's face—gone in an instant, so fast that Olivia barely caught it.
It made her wonder, 'Something's definitely up between them!'
Olivia's eyes flashed with venom for an instant before she quickly masked it with a saccharine smile. Feigning nonchalance, she asked, "Russell, who is Aria Saxon? How did you two meet?"
Russell gave a casual smile and said, "I just bumped into her when I was moving. We're barely acquainted."
Then, he said with feigned concern, "This place isn't really suitable for you. How about heading home for now? I still have some business to handle."
Olivia shook her head stubbornly and said, "Wherever you are, Russell, I'll be there too. I insist on staying here with you."
Russell thought for a moment, then sighed in resignation. "It's getting late. Let's head back to Mayen Garden."
"Sounds great!" Olivia chirped cheerfully.
At Mayen Garden, after dinner, Owen got up to clear the table, but Aria gently pressed his shoulder. "You're still sick—let me handle it. Go get some rest."
Mono gave Owen an appraising glance and nodded approvingly. 'Taking initiative—that's ten points right there,' he thought.
Owen's face still bore a feverish flush—Aria noticed this, but her hands kept busy tidying up.
Lily and Gael got up to help, quickly clearing the table.
Owen sat with Mono on the sofa, their conversation slipping into a natural question-and-answer rhythm.
Mono asked, "Owen, have you ever dated anyone?"
Owen replied, "Never. I hadn't met anyone I liked until now."
Mono cast a glance at Aria rummaging through the first-aid kit, then smiled teasingly at Owen. "So, you've found that very someone now?"
Owen nodded and said softly, "Yes, I've found her."
Mono lifted his chin slightly, giving a scrutinizing look. "Have you really decided she's the one?"
Then, he continued coldly, "Sara was utterly dependent on Madelyn Colton, but she was treated with cold indifference. When Madelyn Colton saw Sara being bullied, she simply turned away. That errand wasn't even supposed to be Sara's responsibility—Madelyn Colton deliberately assigned it to her."
