Escaped My Ex, Got Snatched by His Rival - Chapter 486

Chapter 486: Cries of Justice?
Away from the Ashford house, Ariana was brought back to the apartment by Aiden.

“Careful now,” Aiden said to Ariana as he helped her down from the car. His arm was wrapped around her waist as he tried to support Ariana, who was having trouble breathing. He had already talked with Doctor Stoll, who had gone to get the medicine that could help Ariana.

But till then, he had to make sure that she would not get agitated at all. If she did lose her mind, who knows what she might do to herself or others?

However, just as he helped her towards the elevator, a rotten egg came flying and smashed right in front of their feet.

Surprised, Aiden raised his head and looked at the crowd that was standing in front of them. He frowned upon seeing them holding rotten eggs and tomatoes. He said, “What are you doing? Why did you throw the rotten egg at us?”

“Why wouldn’t we dare to?” Arabella said with a sneer, clearly enjoying the current situation. “Are you one of the men she sleeps with? What happened with the last man she was with? Don’t tell me that she got bored of his manhood so quickly.”

Hearing her crude words, Aiden frowned even more. He said to her, “Do you know that throwing unfounded accusations can land you in prison? How can you say such harsh words when you have no evidence?”

His words caused Arabella’s rhythm to falter, but when she saw how weak and sweaty Ariana looked, she once again raised her head high. She did not believe that Ari was sick, as she had no wounds and her cheeks were not flushed. There was only one reason why Ari must be looking so sweaty and weak.

She must have slept with this man!

Arabella turned and looked at the people who had gathered. She said to them loudly, “There is no need for you to worry about the threats of this man. He must be someone with whom she is sleeping; just look at her. Anyone with eyes can see that she had done that thing with this man. I believe that he is a married man too! Maybe that’s why he is threatening us to keep us quiet!”

“But we will not stay quiet, as we have seen what mistresses like her can do.”

“That’s right, get this woman out of here before she ruins someone.”

“Throw her out!”

“Shameless bitch! How dare you seduce another man?”

“Beat the two of them together; one is a cheater and the other is a mistress. They deserve to be beaten!”

As someone spoke, they hurled another round of eggs and tomatoes on Aiden and Ariana.

Aiden had not expected such a thing to happen; he shielded Ariana in his arms before saying to the rest, “Stop it! She is sick and having trouble breathing. If this continues, she might die. Have some humanity!”

“Shut it! You have been doing misdeeds behind others backs, and now that you are caught, you want to lie and escape?” Arabella turned even more fervent. The more Aiden wanted to protect Ariana, the more she wanted to ruin her reputation.

As she spoke, she turned to look at the crowd. “Don’t listen to him. What sickness? She is completely fine and standing on her feet. Most probably she cannot walk because she has been made too much and harder by this man.”

“St-Stop,” Ariana whimpered when those disgusting and vile words were hurled at her. She tried to speak but forgot about saying anything; her heart was beating so harshly that she could not even breathe.

She wanted to tell these people that she had done nothing wrong; she had slept with a man, but he didn’t belong to anyone. Nicolai would not do such a thing to her, as he was many things but not a liar.

There was no need to belittle her like this, but no one was listening, and no one was willing to listen to her. They believed in their own truth that was different from hers and no one cared about ‘her truth.’

Someone caught hold of Ariana’s hair and pulled her back before throwing her on the ground. The push was so hard that her knees scraped harshly on the ground and started to bleed, and so did her palms.

Among the crowd, Arabella took advantage of the push and pull before throwing a stone at Ariana. She wished to ruin that beautiful face such that Ari would never be able to charm anyone. Especially her husband, whom she had married with great efforts!

The stone hit Ariana on the forehead, causing blood to spurt out.

“AH!”

“Ariana!” Aiden became worried when he saw Ariana’s condition. He noticed that her face had turned paler and paler, and she could no longer breathe.

“Get away!” He pushed and punched a few men who were trying to separate him from Ariana. He rushed towards her and caught her in his arms before saying, “Breathe! Ariana! Can you hear me?”

However, Ariana could not breathe; she was already feeling disgusted and humiliated after recalling her memories. All she wanted was to lock herself up in the bathroom and wash her skin until it was clean.

And yet, for some reason, everyone was looking at her with those contemptuous gazes like they knew everything. Like they knew what she had seen, witnessed, and gone through, it frightened her. Her breathing slowed down even further.

“Look at them; now they are acting as if she is really in pain and is suffering from a severe illness,” jeered Arabella. She sneered down at Aiden, who was holding, and said to him, “Are you that eager to play the hero for this woman? What will your wife say when she finds out what you have done?”

“I have no idea what my wife will say because I have none! I am her doctor, and I am telling you to stop this madness before something happens.” Aiden now felt that the rules to not hurt the common people were nothing but bullshit. If he didn’t have to worry about his profession, he would have killed these people.

Now he could only hope that Nicolai was on his way.
