After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 362

As people got older, they started to believe in things like that.

Raphael completely understood; anxiety could cloud anyone's judgment.

[Raphael: I saved someone with Aria. Good deeds are rewarded. If there's any justice in the universe, I'll be fine.]

When the message was sent, Aldous Evernight could feel the pride in Raphael's words.

He couldn't help but watch the video of Aria and Raphael's rescue again.

Aria's movements as she inserted the needle were incredibly skilled, reminding him of how effortlessly she must have moved when she saved him before.

Aldous Evernight sighed. [It's a good thing Aria is with you. Otherwise, I wouldn't let you off the hook. Also, what are your thoughts on the Evercrest Prosperity Holdings shares?]

[Raphael: It's a lesson for Gideon. Shouldn't he be punished for withdrawing the lawsuit on his own?]

[Dad: So, has Aria calmed down?]

[Raphael: This has nothing to do with Aria. It was all my idea.]

Aldous Evernight scoffed and put his phone down, ignoring Raphael.

So what if it was his idea?

Wasn't the goal still to appease Aria?

Still, Gideon did need to be taught a lesson.

Aldous Evernight couldn't resist picking up his phone again to scroll through the comments under the post.

At his age, the small text was a bit hard to see, so he put on his reading glasses, tilted the screen, and focused.

[CilantroSucks (GradLife): Whoa! The more I look, the more that 'Aria X' looks like Aria! Could it be real? Then who is 'Raphael Y'? Gideon?]

Raphael immediately contacted the platform administrators to have the comments deleted and simultaneously hired a lawyer to preserve the evidence.

Some negative comments, with their high number of likes and significant impact, were also illegal.

Aria's previous use of blockchain to preserve evidence had already sent some of those toxic trolls to jail.

"Thank you, Ms. Rowan! Your presentation was incredibly insightful! To be honest, we both attended the same university, but I was never able to study under Professor Alden. I later heard that a young woman had become his final protégé, and I was resentful for a long time. But now, I am completely and utterly convinced!"

Aria smiled. "I also learned a great deal from our conversation."

Just then, Raphael posted on his social media account: [It was Aria, but not Gideon. It was Raphael.]

When a life was saved, everyone should know Aria's real name. It was a good and kind deed, and there was no need to be secretive about it.

That went for him, too.
