chapter 51
Ariana turned to verify if the voice was directed to her.
She saw an angry Adam pointing at her along with Gina and Mrs. Richards.
Gina had an innocent look on her face. Ariana noticed how she tightened her hand on Adam as if
she was afraid.
Mrs. Richards glaring at her with disgust. Well to be fair, she had never liked Ariana. She once told
her that she is not good enough of a woman for her son and she is just an outcast without the love of
her parents. She didn’t want her to bring bad luck to the Richards’ family.
Ariana was clueless of the accusation made towards her that she forgot to listen.
“You slut, don’t you hear my son talking to you? Look at you, you should be happy someone like
him even recognized you.” Mrs. Richards walked over to slap her face but the coldness that emanated Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
from Ariana’s glare towards her made her stopped with her hand held high.
“Let it land if you want to get it back in tenfold.” Ariana no longer has respect for her. She is not her
mother-in-law anymore. “The only slut here is you and your precious daughter-in-law.”
Mrs. Richards turned to his son, “Did you hear her threatening me? This low life piece of trash.”
“How dare you talk to my mother like that?” Adam hugged Gina tight as if Ariana would hurt her at
any moment.
Ariana was not in the mood for any of them because clearly all of them had gone mad. ‘Where the
hell is Michael?’
People walking by had stopped to entertained themselves with the commotion.
“Tell me Ariana, how did you do it? How did you get your boss to pretend to be your husband?”
Adam bombard her with question which he gave her no time to answer.
“Are you sleeping with your boss? Let me tell you, I don’t want any used items.” Adam continued
with his questions. There was a trace of hurt coating his voice as if he had lost his best toy.
“What does it have to do with you if I am?” Ariana asked unbothered while playing with her nails.
That made Adam even angrier. “Of course it has something to do with me. You thought I wouldn’t
know about your plan. You wanted to get wedded in the Richards’ family so bad that you set up your
sister to get married to Mr. Johnson by force so that I will cancel the engagement with her. You didn’t
want it to be obvious so you played hard to get.”
Ariana laughed so hard at his accusation she had tears. Everybody was looking at her as if she
had grown horns.
“That is the most ridiculous thing I have heard in my life. Listen to yourself and then ask yourself if
what you said made sense.” Ariana asked him seriously after she cooled off from her fits of laughter.
Gina didn’t want to say anything to reveal her lies. Her parents’ method didn’t work yesterday so
she decided to take another approach.
“Keep laughing. I thought you were a good woman but it seems I made the best choice of
choosing your sister. I will make you regret this, just wait.” Adam didn’t want to believe at first but based
on Ariana’s reaction it should be true. She really changed or maybe this was her all this time and she
use to pretend to be boring and innocent.
Adam was so caught up in anger that he didn’t realized that all his accusations did not make any
sense.
Mrs. Richards noticed that she was alone and decided to take advantage of the opportunity to
teach her a lesson.
She raised her hand to slap her. Ariana was caught off-guard and was expecting it to land until she
heard a deep and cold voice, “You better think twice.”
Mrs. Richards winced and Michael let go of her hand, “I am sorry Mr. Matthews. I did not know she
is here with you.”
Michael ignored her and Ariana hugged him with happiness, “Why did you take so long?”
Michael ran his finger through her hair and placed a loose strand behind her ears, “I went for my
phone but then I received an important phone call as soon as I opened the car door.”
Ariana pouted playfully.
“I apologized bunny.” Michael chuckled.
Mrs. Richards stared at her son with worried eyes. She could not afford to offend Michael
Matthews. Gina and Adam already went pale.
Gina pulled on Adam’s sleeve and whispered, “Let us get out of here. You know he is spiteful.”
Adam nodded and turned to leave while the couple was busy with themselves as they were the
only one in the world. Something is definitely not adding up. If she is just a play thing to Michael, then
why did she hold so much importance to him? And he wouldn’t court just any woman. He glanced at
the woman in his arms.
“Stop!” Michael commanded before they have gone too far.
They all turned with a pale face.
“I thought I told you to stay away from my wife?” he coldly asked.
Adam stuttered, “Ye-yes.” He was even more confused now while Gina hide herself in his
embrace.
“Well this is my last warning to you and Miss Fearon. I will not consider seniority if your mother
tries to lay her hands on my wife again.” With that being said, he walked off with Ariana to see a
Gastroenterologist for her eating habits.
Michael had made an appointment from the day before so they didn’t have to wait long.
They went in and Michael let her sit, then he sat next to her.
“Hi Mr. and Mrs. Matthews. I am Dr. Whyte.” The doctor introduced himself.
“Hi Dr. Whyte.” Ariana responded with a smile while Michael nodded.
“Okay Mrs. Matthews, tell me what is the issue before I can attempt to run any test.” The doctor
instructed.
They talked to the doctor for a while. Someone knocked and the doctor excused himself for a
minute.
“It seem as your sister haven’t learn her lesson. Her father’s method didn’t work yesterday so she
went directly to the Richards to turn the accusation to you.”
“How long were you there watching?” Ariana turned her head to face him. Michael only gave her a
sheepish smile.
The doctor came back and sat down, “I am sorry about that.”
“It is fine.” Ariana wasn’t bothered and Michael was fine as long as his wife was.
The doctor smiled, “Alright Mrs. Matthews. I am going to have to send you to the Gynecology and
Obstetrics department to run some test first. Based on your result they will decide if you should come
back here.”
