Chapter 1234
Aria was stunned. She looked at Joanna awkwardly.
"Mrs. Everett, I want to talk to you!"
"I'm sorry. I don't want to talk to you."
Aria gulped and calmed herself down. "Don't worry. I'm really not here to ruin you and Bruce. I hope
that you two can be happy.
"I came to say goodbye to you, but before I leave, I still want to talk to you. I don't want you to
misunderstand."
Joanna rolled her eyes and did not hide her disgust for Aria. "I'm not familiar with you. You don't have
to come and say goodbye to me."
Hearing the resentment in Joanna's tone, Aria heaved a sigh of relief. "It seems that you really have a
lot of resentment toward me.
"In short, I have a clear conscience. I just hope that you and Bruce can be happy. Don't cause
misunderstandings because of me and..."
Joanna interrupted her coldly. "Miss Bridges, the matter between my husband and me is between the
two of us. Whether there's a misunderstanding or not, there's no need for outsiders to tell us what to
do." Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
When Aria heard this, a layer of gloom gradually covered her fair-skinned face.
It was hard to tell if this feeling was jealousy, hatred, or unwillingness.
She had met Bruce earlier and shared the same beliefs and pursuits. In the past, she had no choice
but to give up her and Bruce's relationship in order to pursue her studies.
The reason why she pursued her studies was to make herself more outstanding. She wanted to be
worthy of him and be evenly matched with him.
However, when she was outstanding enough and felt that she could match him completely, he already
belonged to another woman.
Moreover, the woman was inferior to her in every aspect.
She paused for a few seconds.
Aria raised her eyebrows slightly and said bitterly, "Mrs. Everett, whether you want to hear it or not, I
just want to tell you. I do love Bruce very much, but I won't destroy his family.
"Don't keep throwing tantrums at Bruce because of me. He was so sad last night that he didn't sleep at
all. Do you know that?
"Bruce... He's a good man. If you don't cherish him enough, sooner or later, someone who cherishes
him more will appear."
When Joanna heard this, she could not help but sneer, "Do I need you to tell me if he is a good man?
"Maybe you think he's perfect enough, but I don't."
That was true.
Bruce was a bad bastard. Only Joanna knew how bad he was.
When Aria heard this, she was jealous again. She sneered, "You really don't know how lucky you are.
Do you know how many women envy you?
"If it was another woman who could receive so much love from Bruce, I think she would definitely feel
so happy."
"Is that so? You have such a low pursuit!" Joanna retorted coldly.
The two of them did not say a single vulgar word throughout the entire process, but the smell of
gunpowder filled the air.
Bruce came out of the bedroom.
Seeing the two of them arguing, he was scared. He hurriedly walked up to them. "Joann, Aria, what are
you talking about?"
"Bruce, don't misunderstand. I'm here to explain to your wife.
"I'm very sorry for causing you so much trouble. Bruce, I know you're worried about me, but I have to
take my leave."
Upon hearing this, Bruce frowned and blocked her way. "Aria, you can't leave!
"Are you stupid? If you know you're going to die, why are you courting death? Human lives are very
precious. I hope you cherish your life!"
After saying that, a trace of coldness and anger appeared in Bruce's eyes.
He really did not want to see Aria die for nothing.
In particular, every time he recalled the pain and torture he suffered at District 17, he would shudder.
He did not want anyone to suffer like him again. At the same time, he deeply realized the value of life.
"Bruce, you really don't have to do this. I have my own pursuits.
"Please understand me. I beg you, please let me go!" Aria said softly. A layer of misty tears appeared
in her eyes.
Bruce looked at her firmly. "I said I won't let you go, so I won't let you go."
"Put down your luggage. I'll arrange a place for you to stay. You still have to help me continue
researching medicine to suppress genetic mutation. Stay here!"
Aria looked at Bruce helplessly and looked at Joanna guiltily. "Bruce, don't be like this. Mrs. Everett has
already misunderstood. If I stay, she will be even angrier.
"I really don't want to cause a misunderstanding between the two of you because of me!"
When Bruce heard this, he felt frustrated. He really did not have any other thoughts about Aria. He just
did not want to see her die.
That was all.
He really couldn't understand why Joanna couldn't understand him. If he really wanted to have an affair
with Aria, he would have been with her long ago after so many opportunities.
"Joann, I hope you can persuade Aria.
"I know you're the kindest person. Can you bear to see Aria die for nothing?" Bruce turned to look at
Joanna, hoping that she would understand his actions.
Joanna's eyes darkened as she looked at Bruce coldly. "I'm sorry. I'm a vicious person.
"She's not the one who should leave, but me, the vicious one."
With that, Joanna turned around and left coldly.
Seeing this, Bruce chased a few steps. "Joann, Joann..."
"Bruce, I'm leaving." Taking advantage of Bruce to chase after Joanna, Aria picked up her suitcase and
quickly walked out.
"Aria, stop right there!" Bruce looked at Joanna's back and then looked at Aria's back. He didn't know
who he should comfort first.
"Alas! Why are you women so troublesome?"
