Gianna peered up at Arwen, her eyes shining as if she had discovered the perfect solution —one that could never fail, no matter what.
"Wenna, as long as you tell all this to uncle, he will find a way to get the evidence against that bi*ch," she said, her voice brimming more optimistically than before. "Believe me, he always has a way or two up his sleeve. No matter how sharp is the opponent, they can’t outwit him."
Arwen paused at her words, as if truly considering it.
Although she didn’t know the full extent of Aiden’s capabilities, she didn’t underestimate his reach. But still …
Shaking her head, she dismissed the idea. "No, we won’t do that," she said firmly. frёeωebɳovel.com
Gianna frowned. "Why? You don’t trust him?" She leaned in, her voice growing more insistent. "Arwen, my uncle treats you differently. Just from the few times I have seen him around you, I can tell he adores you more than it seems on the surface. If you tell him about this, he will do everything to avenge you. He just needs to know it, and he would bring Heaven and Hell together if that’s what it takes to make Delyth pay."
Hearing her put it that way, Arwen didn’t know how to respond.
She felt like Gianna was exaggerating a little.
But at the same time, she knew that if she asked Aiden for help, he wouldn’t hesitate.
"Anna, I don’t doubt Aiden, and I also want Delyth to get punished, but —"
Before she could finish, Gianna cut her off impatiently. "Then why, Wenna? Why don’t you want his help?"
Arwen sighed. "Because I don’t want to get him involved in this, Anna."
Gianna’s brows knitted together, but Arwen continued before she could interrupt again.
"He is already busy with work, handling a business trip. He has so much on his plate, and I don’t want to add to his burden. Especially not with something as messy as Ryan and Delyth. He doesn’t deserve their kind of trouble in his life."
Gianna opened her mouth to argue but then stopped.
When she looked at it from Arwen’s perspective, she understood. She didn’t completely agree, but she knew Arwen well enough to realize that once she made a decision, no amount of convincing would change her mind.
Sighing, she asked, "Then what are you going to do?"
Arwen shrugged, "I don’t know now, but I am going to do something. I won’t let this slide easily. If nothing else, I will make sure Delyth experiences exactly what I went through."
Gianna, mid-breath, suddenly choked.
"Wait." She held up a finger as if to pause Arwen mid-sentence. "W-What did you just say?"
Arwen looked confused. "I said I won’t let Delyth slide away like that."
