Late at night, Aria Jackson sat in the lounge, flipping through photos of Larry Spencer with another woman. The pictures were taken secretly, but from a clever angle.Through the car window, the two were clearly having an intense moment. Larry's distinctive mole and the snowflake tattoo on the woman's shoulder were unmistakable.Aria smiled coldly, tossing the photos into the trash can as exhaustion washed over her."Do I really have to get this tattoo?" she asked."Mrs. Spencer, this is your husband's instruction. The tattoo artist is already waiting. Only if you get the same tattoo as Miss Landon can we clear up yesterday's scandal. Of course, you can refuse—if you want your brother's medical payments to stop tomorrow."The secretary's tone was dismissive, her eyes showing no respect. It was as if Aria, the so-called Mrs. Spencer, was nothing more than a disposable joke.And that was exactly the case.Larry's affair with the tattooed woman had gone viral, causing such an uproa

Aria felt nothing inside.For five years, Susan had focused on improving her health, yet she still hadn't conceived.Susan had certainly harbored resentment.Back then, Aria had always believed there was a chance to fix things with Larry, so she never mentioned their problems to his family.Instead, she silently endured Susan's complaints and drank the herbal remedies for five years.But now, there was no need to pretend anymore.After the initial shock, Susan quickly realized that since her son had notorious affairs with other women, he couldn't possibly be physically incapable.The only explanation was that the couple had never been intimate.Marcus's face darkened. "Larry, come to my study," he said coldly.Larry was practically laughing with anger.He never imagined Aria would reveal their private matters in front of his family.He shot her a furious look before following his father to the study.Aria pretended not to notice.Susan was stunned by her son's terrible beh

As they fell into the water, a crowd quickly gathered around.Christina reacted fast, unable to hold back a curse.People surrounded the pool area. Larry quickly noticed the commotion and rushed over to pull both Lucy and Aria out of the water.After falling in, Lucy looked extremely disheveled. She bit her pale lips as she leaned against Larry's chest."Larry, it’s not Aria’s fault. She didn't deliberately pull me into the pool..."Water dripped from her hair, making her look pitiful and vulnerable.In contrast, Aria calmly took the towel Christina handed her and casually dried herself off, her expression remarkably composed.Larry draped his jacket over Lucy's shoulders and looked coldly at Aria. "Did you do this?"His tone was identical to five years ago.Aria raised her eyes calmly, but her composure only angered Larry more."Aria, wasn't it enough that you hurt Linda five years ago? Lucy has just returned home, why are you targeting her too? Are you really this desperate

Did Larry have any love for Aria?How could he not? If he didn't love her, he wouldn't hate her so much.He hated her coldness, hated that she had indirectly caused Linda's death, hated how she always seemed so detached and above it all.He had married her to make her suffer. He couldn't stand seeing her so high above him, where he could only look up at her.She was supposed to be his woman, yet she made him feel like a fool.Just like now—Aria seeing him with Lucy and remaining so calm, even clearly mentioning divorce.How dare she?She hadn't yet paid her debt to him. How could Aria simply turn and leave while he remained trapped in the same place, unable to escape that nightmare!Larry's dark eyes grew intense and somber, the corners tinged with red. He grabbed Aria's wrist.In the next moment, he had pinned her against the leather sofa next to the hospital bed.Larry gripped her slender wrist so hard that a purple bruise was forming.She winced in pain, but he leaned in

"Lucy isn't that kind of person..." Larry tried to explain, his face growing pale. Marcus frowned and interrupted his childish defense."Enough. Regardless of what kind of person Lucy is, you need to remember that not just anyone can be the Spencer family's daughter-in-law."You and Aria cannot divorce. Everyone in our circles knows your wife is Aria, and the Spencer family has built marketing campaigns around her as our daughter-in-law. Aria is now tied to the Spencer name. After a divorce, both the stock market and the public would become suspicious, affecting our company's stock price."Once our stock price is affected, our competitors will dig up your scandals. Larry, do you think your reputation can withstand scrutiny?"Aria had been invited to Bulgari and other luxury brand events through her friend Christina. Those photos and videos had trended online, and she had been pursued by fans for her striking beauty and unique charm. When Spencer Corp claimed her as their CEO's wi
