I Chose Me Over My Marriage novel Chapter 15

At the hospital.

Aria sat up in bed, quietly watching the people Maxwell had hired pack up her belongings.

She had only been hospitalized for a few days for observation.

Yet she had accumulated a mountain of things.

Gifts from sponsors and presents from Maxwell were practically spilling out of the room.

"Aria, Mr. Sterling is so good to you. None of this stuff is cheap," her assistant said, her voice dripping with envy.

Aria looked up, her eyes gleaming with smug satisfaction.

"Of course. Max has treated me perfectly since we were kids."

She suddenly lowered her gaze, a vicious glint flashing in her eyes.

If it weren't for her background, she would have been the one to join the Sterling family back then.

She wouldn't have had to fight so desperately for all the power and status she craved.

Shaking off the thought, Aria turned her attention back to her assistant.

"Did you clean up the mess I asked you to handle? I don't want any loose ends."

The assistant quickly patted her chest to reassure her. "Don't worry, I handled it perfectly. I..."

A sudden ringtone cut her off.

The assistant glanced at her screen, froze for a second when she saw it was Aria's manager, but quickly answered and put it on speaker.

"Put her on the phone."

Since they were the only two people in the room, it was glaringly obvious who the manager meant.

Aria spoke up smoothly, "I can hear you."

There was a brief pause before the manager's voice came through again.

"I only let you go through with this because you swore you'd leave zero traces. You..."

"What do you mean?" Aria frowned. "I already took care of everything."

The manager scoffed coldly. "Took care of it? See for yourself."
