Just as Oliver’s arm made contact, Aria, trapped in his arms, felt a chill down her spine as she tried to get up. Even if he didn’t hold her shoulder, he surely did it.
“What…!”
He groped Aria’s waist. While she was frightened, his hand, roaming around her waist, pulled out the recorder buried in her skirt pocket.
“You’re doing quite a cute thing.”
Tick.
As Oliver tightened his grip, the recorder’s power turned off. Aria, caught in Oliver’s embrace, shivered, and as she tried to get up, he must have done so even without holding her shoulders.
“What are you doing now…”
“Just a moment, excuse me.”
His hand touched the sofa.
“If you were someone who would fall for such shallow tricks, you would have been caught at least once during that long time. It’s a pity.”
“…….”
Aria didn’t respond, just glaring at Oliver.
“But there’s something I’m curious about…”
He paid no attention to such a reaction. He merely licked his lips with his red tongue and raised his eyebrows, seemingly genuinely curious.
“What’s the deal with you showing up at the marquis’s residence after seven years?”
“…….”
“If you intended to surprise me, you succeeded. I never imagined you’d spare the marchioness’s life, let alone raise the child yourself.”
However, she couldn’t help but flinch at this statement.
Until now, she had wondered why Oliver hadn’t simply switched Bonita and killed her. But now, that doubt seemed to be resolved.
‘…From the beginning, he intended to kill her.’
Perhaps Oliver’s fortune-telling for Aria wasn’t about ‘switching’ the child after all.
Originally, it made sense.
If the heir was an obstacle, killing and eliminating it would be sufficient. If it were a newborn vulnerable baby, it would easily die with just a small amount of a toxic substance. If he claimed it was stillborn from the beginning, there would be no suspicion at all.
From the perspective of the perpetrator Aria, that would have been much simpler. Nevertheless, Oliver deliberately took Bonita separately, even dyeing the dead baby’s hair pink.
From Oliver’s perspective, such a method was inefficient.
“You… Did you… with Bonita…”
“It’s better not to say more, don’t you think?”
“Do you think I can’t do it?”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
He chuckled.
“If you want, you can say it, though.”
Aria immediately wanted to confront him. However, the phrase ‘Oliver orchestrated it’ didn’t come out of her mouth.
Oliver’s eyes narrowed at the clicking Aria. With her head bowed, Aria thought:
‘It has to be within the expected range.’
She already knew she couldn’t bring out the decisive words. That’s why, even when talking to Luke, instead of directly mentioning names, she gave him slight indirect hints so he could speculate.
However, why did she deliberately show this rebellious side?
“The spell on you is a creation of mine, and it won’t be easily unraveled like that.”
It was to confirm who exactly was behind this spell.
Intentionally, Aria brushed off Oliver’s hand on her cheek nervously. Sharp enmity shone in her blue eyes.
“You’re still stupid, Aria Hilton.”
Seeing Aria like that, Oliver sighed.
“Did the marchioness suddenly become pitiful? Enough to raise her alone for such a long time.”
“…….”
“It seems the time to end the conversation is approaching. It’s better to wrap it up here.”
Oliver nonchalantly took his seat, avoiding Aria’s sharp gaze. His arrogant posture with crossed legs was unparalleled. Aria simply glared at Oliver with her lips sealed.
“Lord Hilton, Lady Aria. Tea has been served.”
At that moment, Edward entered with a tray. Having served the Marquis for a long time, he efficiently arranged the refreshments.
“The tea of the Marquis still carries its delightful fragrance. Did you personally prepare this tea for us?”
“Yes.”
“It’s truly enviable, my lord. Having such a capable talent as your assistant.”
“You flatter me.”
Jokes were exchanged between Oliver and Edward. Watching silently, Aria rose slowly.
“Lord Hilton?”
Edward, who was collecting the tray, asked with a puzzled expression.
“Where are you going?”
“Oh, my apologies. Sir, isn’t it customary to turn a blind eye when a lady departs?”
As Oliver interjected, Edward blushed.
“I’m sorry.”
“Well, it’s fine.”
Aria, her head bowed, quickly left the room. Observing her departure, Oliver reveled in his presumed victory.
“Just as I expected, she’s nothing more than a helpless woman.”
It was quite audacious to bring a recording device. However, since the recorder was now in his possession, her plan had completely fallen apart.
He smiled gently while lifting the tea cup.
Perhaps because things went well, the fragrance of the tea seemed even more delightful today.
“Phew.”
Aria, emerging from the reception room, massaged her thighs. Putting her hand inside her skirt, the second recorder, which had been tied to her leg, came loose.
“I thought I would get caught.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
