A Love Forgotten (Arianna and Elijah)

apter 182

This was an assumption i didn't dare to put too much thought inte..

Five years ago, I thiked everything and invested the 50 million dollars Grandpa left me to help Linden Group, which was in trouble. I heard from Teri that this incident had caused my patens to disownie public

However, no matter hose had asked, willing to tell me what happened to my parents after that.

Then, there was my brother, Jonathan.

Jonathan and I had reconciled, but every time I mentioned meeting Mom and Dad on missing them, Jonathan avoided these topics at all costs.

Indiced to find out the reasons for what happened.

I was afraid I coul't handle the truth. Now, My priority was to get the so million dollars, the dividends, and the shares Elijah owed me

There were always ways to mend broken family relationships, but now, I could only use money to amend my past mistakes.

Helt a tremendous sense of helplessness.

Why? Why was it so difficult to take back what was rightfully mine?

I was not in good spirits after taking Mr. Webb's call, but Teri still dragged me out of the house. She knew I couldn't coop myself up at home at this time.

We went to a salon, and 1 got myself a new hairdo and engaged in their makeup service. As people said, clothes made a man.

After a makeover, I looked more energetic ast looked at myself in the mirror. I was robbed of seven years of my life, but my energy and liveliness were still present

Teisid, "Let's go shopping. Let's show that overbearing CEO that petty women are forces not to be reckoned with."

1 putlawed. "What a phrase!"

She giggled as she went to pay the bill.

How could let Teri, the corporate slave, pay the bill? i went ahead of her,

"Oh, my. Why, if it isn't Ms. York I can't believe you're still in the mood for self-care,

Asarcastic voice came from the resting area

I glanced over with a frown Telegantly dressed women carried themselves with a sophisticated grace. However, I did not know them. No, I lost my memory, so must have lost my memory of these women.

I didn't plan to give any attention to them and went to the front desk to pay.

"It looks like York is still as arrogant as always. I wonder how it feels like to be made a fool of?"

"Yeah, her husband cheated on her, and I heard that the mistress is expecting, III were her, I would've given the mistress a place of my mind."

"You're right. Ariana York has never been one to control her temper. She would've gone after Jocelyn Cornell long ago instead of being here and having a good time."

They were not subtle about their discussion

I chose to ignore them and contred to walk away.

Terved at me from the front. "Look at the evening gowns that were shipped from o overseas today! Do you want

I waved my hand. "No, no. Why spend so much money? Let's go shopping."

"Mrs. Elsher, the evenings you've ordered have arrived. You can try them on

The shop attendant held hangers with evening gowns and walked toward the two women behind me.

I turned around and saw that they were the sharp-tongued women from earlier. I frowned slightly. Calm and composed, I tugged on Teri and planned to leave this place as soon as possible, However, luck had never been on my side. Unexpected incidents always happened in moments like this.

With a smile that wasn't genuine, Mrs. Fisher sized me bump into you
