Escaped My Ex, Got Snatched by His Rival - Chapter 484

Chapter 484: She stole my man (2)
“Did your fiance meet with her last night?” Arabella asked as she recalled her husband, telling her that he saw Ari at a party that was way above her station. That woman was just a small doctor, and yet she was able to attend the party arranged by the Baker family.

Even her husband, who was rich and well connected, didn’t get an invitation that invited more than one person. So how could Ari be there?

“Did she go out last night?” Penelope asked with quivering lips; she tried to throw as much fuel in the fire as possible. With a sniff, she said to Arabella while sighing, “I knew it; last night I tried to call my fiance but he never picked up my call. I should have known—that he was with her.”

“I would have called the police but this matter is so embarrassing for me to make it public. If my parents were to know, they would be so shocked that they might end up falling sick.”

She only wanted to stir a little trouble for Ariana, who would have thought that she didn’t even have to flick her finger and everything would fall into place on its own.

Upon hearing her words, Arabella scoffed and said to the rest, “See, I told you. That woman is doing something shameless behind everyone’s back. Now look at this—she had reduced a perfectly fine woman into this condition! How can she be let off?”

“I hope you have not forgotten what happened to that woman who jumped off the roof last time. She nearly lost her life because of a mistress. Will we let another poor woman’s life be ruined because of a mistress? We have to drag her out of here and teach her a good lesson.”

Seeing that the fire was blazing perfectly, Penelope decided to fan it a bit more. She had to take Ari out of this place not only to protect her status as the only heiress of the Ashford family but also to get her hands on Nicolai.

As long as that woman was out of the equation, Penelope didn’t believe that Nicolai would bother to look for Ariana.

Once that woman leaves the Lonest city, getting her hands on her heart would also be a matter of time. After Ariana died and her body was buried somewhere far away, who would care about her? She would vanish from the memories of the people who knew her.

As for her, she would live a perfectly healthy life without a sword hanging on her neck.

She sobbed lightly before saying, “Please don’t do such a thing on my account. I just want to talk with her and tell her that there is no need for her to do such a despicable thing. There is a job that I have in mind that I want to give to her; after all, how long will she do?” She paused to give the information that she had handed to Arabella and the rest a more dramatic effect.

Arabella couldn’t believe that there was more than just one man in Ariana’s life. But then again, so many men came to look for her all the time, and that too at night, there had to be something!

She stepped forward and took Penelope’s hand in her own, and Penelope, who looked down on women like Arabella, nearly threw up when she smelt the scent of her cheap perfume.

“Don’t worry, even if the police cannot take care of this matter, it doesn’t mean that we will not deal with it. The people who live in this apartment are all respectful people. It’s truly disgusting that the woman tried to do such a thing.”

“We will make sure that she understands why a woman should never go after a man who already has a woman.”

Penelope took a step away from Arabella before saying to her, “Thank you. But please don’t go too far, as we are living in a world ruled by law and order.”

With that, she turned around and walked away, a little smirk on her lips as she wished she could see the sorry condition Ariana would be in once these people were done with her.

Arabella turned to the rest of the women and said to them, “We need to do something about this. That woman is a doctor for goodness sake! And she is doing such a disgusting thing behind our backs. Not one but a lot of men, just think of how many marriages she must have ruined! As women, how can we let such a thing happen? No, we have to stop this, or else I will not be able to see my eyes with my reflection in the mirror.”

Arabella also had enough of Ari; even though her husband didn’t say much last night, she could hear the reverence in his voice. That woman had also charmed her husband, if this continued, it wouldn’t be too long for her husband to start seeking that woman’s favours.

That wouldn’t do! Ariana was so beautiful if this went on, then she would soon replace her as the new Mrs. Garner.

She had to get that woman away from this place as soon as possible.

On the other side, Ariana somehow managed to climb to her knees until she was done throwing up even the last bit of acid in her stomach. She was breathing heavily as she got to her feet but stumbled.

“Careful,” someone reached out to her as she somehow managed to come out of the restroom with the support of the wall.

“A—Aiden?” Ari called without really looking at him.

“It’s me,” Aiden said to Ariana. He looked at her condition before saying to her, “You seem sick, I will take you to a ward.”

“I am fine… I just want to go home”

“Ari, you are looking terrible listen to me—”

“NO!” Ari tugged at his collar with her hands before saying with some difficulty, “I want to go home! I want to — I want to go home!”

“Yes! Yes! Yes! I will take you home,” said Aiden as he tugged her towards the entrance of the hospital. “I have already called Nicolai, he will be meeting us soon at the apartment. So hold on till then alright?” He wanted to ask her what was going on but he couldn’t, for now he needed to pay attention to her condition.
