Chapter 10 "Mr. Rivera, why are you defending her? Got a crush on her or something?" Aria st Emma's uncle, Daniel was young and strikingly handsome, which fueled her jealou "God, that's just stupid!" Daniel retorted, disgust clear in his voice.

arly misreading the situation. Despite being Aria lost it. "Stupid? What's so great about Emma, huh? She's ready to sell herself for money. She's nothing but a whore!" Emma turned to face her. “Watch your mouth, Aria. Spreading lies is a crime, you know." Aria screamed, "Lies? You don't even know Liam, yet you're marrying a cripple for his money. Tellyou're not in it for the cash!" Gasps echoed through the room as Aria insulted Liam so openly. People began to wonder if she had completely lost her mind or if she was just that desperate.

Just then, a glass cflying from the second floor, smashing to pieces inches from Aria's feet.

Terrified, Aria screamed and looked up, only to lock eyes with a cold, handsman upstairs. She froze.

"Liam? What's he doing here? I thought he wasn't coming today!" the crowd roared.

Seeing Liam's icy stare, the Wilson family went into a panic. "Mr. Hall, we didn't expect you. Why didn't you tell us you were coming?" said Mateo tremulously.

Liam's high-tech wheelchair descended the stairs automatically. Even seated, he radiated authority. "If I'd given you a heads-up, would we have had such a show?" His cold gaze zeroed in on Aria. She stepped back, but Nora pushed her forward. "Aria, apologize right now." Nora, being quick on her feet, jumped in before Aria could make things worse. “Mr. Hall, I'm really sorry. Aria is just having a rough day and said something stupid. She usually looks up to you a lot. Please, don't hold it against her. She didn't mean any harm." "Exactly," Mateo chimed in, seizing the moment. "We're all going to be family soon. Sbumps in the road are normal, right girls?" Faced with Liam, Aria was all flustered, avoiding eye contact and mumbling, “Mr. Hall, my bad. I'm sorry.” But Liam stayed cool. "It's notyou should apologize to. It's Emma!" He couldn't care less about being called a cripple. The Hall family had amassed enough power that he had to fake a disability to keep a low profile. But that didn't mean he was actually disabled. Someone like Aria wasn't even worth his anger. But anyone who dared to insult Emma? That was crossing the line.

Emma shot a look at the fuming Aria. "You catch that? Apologize, now." Aria clenched her fists so tightly it felt like her palms might bleed, but she just couldn't bring herself to apologize to Emma. Her hatred for Emma was too intense. She'd rather die than say sorry.

Seeing the standoff, Nora quickly interjected, "Alright. Aria's just being stubborn. She knows she messed up. I'll apologize on her behalf. Emma, I'm really sorry. Please, don't hold it against your sister." But Emma couldn't forgive that easily. The memory of the flames consuming her, every cell in her body screaming in pain, haunted her. Watching her loved one burn to a crisp, the smell of charred flesh, it was pure despair. A simple apology wouldn't erase her deep-seated hatred. She knew Aria wouldn't sincerely apologize, and she wasn't ready to forgive. She had cprepared.

At that moment, Emma pressed a button on a remote. The LED screen, which had been displaying "Happy Birthday," suddenly switched to a Chapter 10 video of Aria and Nora's conversation.

"Your dad adores you, he wouldn't give everything to Emma. Remember her Nora shouted in the video.

arance? Not a coincidence. But forget that... Doll up..." "Turn it off, now!" Nora shrieked, but the video kept rolling, capturing her voice continuing.

"Chat up srich kid about dating. Once you're overseas, snag a loaded hubby. Then, no worries!" Nora never thought her words would be recorded and played back by Emma in front of everyone. Seeing this, the guests began to chatter amongst themselves.

"Wow, those two are messed up," one guest remarked.

"No way, so Emma going missing was because of them?" another whispered.

"You think Nora did it on purpose? Emma was just a toddler back then. That's cold," someone else added.
