Chapter 1468: Chapter 1382: Don’t end up with nothing in terms of both people and wealth

Lady Octavia skillfully took a check out of her bag and placed it on Aria Rowlett’s table.

Aria gripped her coffee cup, her hands trembling, and clenched her teeth. With great effort, she suppressed the anger surging to her head.

She looked up, glaring at Lady Octavia.

Lady Octavia met her angry gaze, hooked her lips, and, maintaining her elegant and composed demeanor, spoke slowly, "Ms. Aria, why not take a look at this check first? I know that your family isn’t well-off, and you don’t have much yourself. You’re still young, and there will be many more times when you will need money. Accepting this check will only bring you benefits, no harm. I think you should take it."

"You wouldn’t want to end up losing both love and money, right?"

Aria looked at the condescending Lady Octavia sitting opposite her. After staring for a few seconds, she suddenly laughed.

She picked up the check on the table, glanced at it, and laughed again.

Lady Octavia frowned, "What are you laughing at?"

Aria flicked her finger on the check and looked at the sum that would make any ordinary person ecstatic, but her eyes remained unmoved, "What is this, a consolation prize for my hard work? Wow, so much money. There are actually ten million dollars."

After saying this, Aria wanted to laugh at herself.

She had thought that, at the very least, Lady Octavia would give her 50 million dollars.

But her expectation was slapped in the face.

Looking at the ten million dollars on the check, Aria felt deeply insulted and despised.

Back when Brandon Heath compensated her, he gave her 50 million dollars.

Now, Lady Octavia wants to send her away with just ten million dollars?

And with that patronizing tone and superior attitude, it seemed as if giving this ten million dollars was already a great favor to her.

Aria felt angry.

How could Lady Octavia look down on her so much?

Aria had thought that she would take out a five hundred million dollar check to slap her face and make her leave Brandon Heath.

At that time, she planned to pretend to be reluctant, wait for Lady Octavia to slap the check on her face for the second time, threaten her with words, and then Aria would act weak and pitiful, pretending to be heartbroken, accepting the check due to coercion, and leaving her beloved man unwillingly.

According to the plot in novels, after she left, Aria would suddenly discover that she was pregnant with Brandon Heath’s child.

Then, she would go to another country with the baby in her belly.

Many years later, she would return to the country with her genius baby and, under certain circumstances, meet Brandon Heath again.

Brandon would notice the child who looked so much like him, grow suspicious, and, after various investigations, find out that the child was his.

Then, they would go through ups and downs, eventually see through each other’s hearts, and overcome all obstacles to be together.

Aria had already planned out her plot.

However, Lady Octavia’s ten million dollars, even if slapped on her face twice or thrice, she felt she couldn’t accept it.

It was too little...

When she said "so much," she meant it sarcastically.

But Lady Octavia didn’t catch the sarcasm, thinking that Aria was genuinely surprised by the ten million dollars.

Lady Octavia sneered silently, her eyes filled with disdain as she pursed her lips.

It was, after all, a result of her upbringing and growing up in poverty.

This ten million dollars must be an astronomical figure to her.

No wonder she had never seen so much money in her life and couldn’t help but be happy about it.

"Since you were with Brandon for a while and were his first woman, I, of course, won’t mistreat you.
