Escaped My Ex, Got Snatched by His Rival - Chapter 193

Chapter 193: Chapter 193
“You,” Mrs Nelson took a threatening step towards Ariana, while Ariana frowned and then took a step back. She clenched her fingers in a fist as she was worried that Mrs Nelson would pinch and tear her wound.

She had done such a thing many times when she was married to Noah.

“What do you think you are doing here? Were my words not clear enough for you to understand that you need to come back as soon as possible?”

Ari had a calm expression on her face. She noticed that two little flames were burning according to Mrs Nelson.

“And an excellent day to you too, Mrs Nelson,” said Ariana with a smile on her face. “I thought that everything was already clear when my divorce with Noah was finalized. I do not understand your reasons for coming to the hospital and discussing a matter which is already crystal clear.”

“Looks like you have lost your mind along with your manners,” Mrs Nelson had never come across a woman as strong-willed as Ariana. She had tried to squash her under her feet, but instead of giving up, the woman was getting more and more imprudent.

If someone was in Ariana’s shoes, their wings would have been snipped by now but this woman——-

“Have I?” Ariana sounded amused. Just because she stopped acting like a servile servant in front of Mrs Nelson she was accusing her of being disrespectful.

Mrs Nelson narrowed her eyes at the stubborn and disrespectful tone of Ariana.

It was one thing that this woman had ignored her words, but she was also acting as if she were superior to her.

Wanting to teach her where she belonged, Mrs Nelson immediately parted her lips that were painted red and rebuked, “How shameless of you. Not only did you forget that my son did you a favour by marrying you and not publicizing the matter of you intercepting the marriage of your biological sister, but you also seemed to have forgotten the help that my family gave to yours. Now that you are standing here all tall and haughty in front of me, you dare jeer at me?”

Mrs Nelson wanted to show Ariana that her family was superior to Ariana in every way. She was making a mistake by letting go of the Nelson family and she better grasp the opportunity that she was handing to her.

However, what Mrs Nelson did not know was that Ariana did not have any guilty conscience in her heart.

Though the Nelson family never believed that she did not intercept Ariel, Ari knew in her heart that she married Noah because her parents pushed her to walk down the aisle after Ariel ran away from the wedding.

She had done nothing wrong. If anything she was a victim of the joke that fate played on her.

If there was someone who had a debt left unclear, it was the Nelson family, and they were the ones who owed a debt to her.

Ari’s face was devoid of any emotions at that moment. She hadn’t forgotten how this woman had condemned her for three continuous years.

“I don’t know how you have the courage to call me shameless. Whether I intercepted my sister was one thing but your Nelson family had also had a choice back then. It was to refuse,” stated Ari, who wasn’t intimidated by the woman. “You could have refused to let your son marry me, but you didn’t why? Because you wanted to protect your reputation.”

Mrs Nelson might be the matriarch of the Nelson family, but that did not mean that she had the right to control her or make Ariana feel like she was a lesser being than her.

No one owed anyone anything. She married Noah because she loved him, and he married her because he wanted to keep the reputation of his family.

“Silence!” Mrs Nelson exclaimed, her voice biting as she looked at the woman in front of her. “How dare you say such things? If you hadn’t chased Ariel away, then would my son be in a situation where he had to marry you?”

“Then what are you upset about? You hated the fact that I was married to your son, so I left him. Now that I have left him as you wanted, you are upset that I am not coming back,” Ari’s lips curled up in a mocking smile. “Mrs Nelson, it seems like you are rather confused.”

“How dare you mock me,” Mrs Nelson snapped at the woman. She couldn’t help but want to show this lowly woman her place. Her eyes fell on the old shoes that Ari was wearing.

Ariana’s eyes followed where the woman was looking, and she sighed. She knew what Mrs Nelson was going to say to her.

“You think that I am here to beg for you to return?” Mrs Nelson curled her lips in pure spite. “I am not. I only want you back because father will be returning very soon, and I need your presence in the house for him to hand the shares to Noah.”

“After that, you can leave when you want, but until then, return to the Nelson family.” Mrs Nelson was furious and at the same time, she was upset that her happiness was this short-lived. She had thought that with Mrs Harlow taking charge, it wouldn’t take long for this woman to return.

The fact that she wasted so much money on that woman was bad enough, but what was even more humiliating was that the Campbell girl dared to mock her. She actually said that Nelson did not have enough money to keep a woman.

Ari stared at the woman, who seemed to be so full of herself that she wasn’t even concerned about the opinion of others.

With a sigh, Ari said, “I am sorry, but I will not be coming back, Mrs Nelson.”

She thought of the old man who had cared for her when she was living in the Nelson house.

Ariana was thankful for everything that Old Master Nelson had done for her, but she would no longer put her happiness and dignity on the line.

She continued, “I am no longer the same woman who would put your family before myself. This time around, I will be making decisions which are correct for me. So, please stop making a fuss, as I am only taking control of my life and not harming anyone.”
