Chapter 137 - Frustrated Regan (2/2)

”Mrs. Parkinson. No no… Miss. Aria,” Eric says, biting his tongue. How could he forget she was divorced from her husband.

”What the !?!” Both Aiden and Regan were tongue-tied at the revelation.

”She is indeed a paparazzo!” Regan said.

”First, take down the article,” Aiden said.

”That won't do. We need to ask her to take it down. If not… she will turn it into a war between Zora, Emerson vs Parkinson's.” Regan said.

”But what is her motive?” Aiden couldn't help but ask.

Just then a servant came to the hall and bowed her head at them. Aiden motioned his hand at her asking her to go ahead.

”Sir, Miss. Aria is here,” the servant said.

”Speaking of the devil,” Regan said, holding his head.

”Let her in,” Regan said. Aiden was stilled in his place when he heard the servant's words.

”Aiden, close your mouth, insects would fly,” Regan teased.

Aiden came out of his stupor when he heard… Regan's words. He threw a glare at him but for which Regan returned him with a smirk.

”I am here!” Aria's excited voice could be heard from the entrance.

”I will go bald one day because of this woman!” Regan muttered frustratedly.

”I will get you a hair plantation,” Aiden proposed.

”Shut your mouth,” Regan yelled at him.

”I am sorry, I can't do that,” Aiden said.

”Regan!” Aria yelled and hugged him tightly. She sat beside Regan and flashed a smile at Aiden. She badly wanted to hug him and talk to him but she remembered his words, she kept her actions in check. But… she couldn't stop herself from putting her finger out of Eleanor's matter. Despite… Eleanor couldn't her daughter-in-law… she wanted to be a part of her wedding. She didn't have a daughter. If Amelia was good, she wouldn't have tortured her like that. Even if she wasn't her daughter… she would have shown her love. If not for her behavior… she would have enjoyed herself like a mother of a daughter. But… everything went different because of her husband.

Maybe money makes a man constrained, greedy, and stupid. She sighed and looked at the two men in the room with a beautiful smile. Regan has an annoyed scowl on his face while Aiden was neutral at her sight.

Regan didn't know that… Aria started to write articles sneakily. She never released big secrets… but she released things that embarrassed the people. Like there was a time… where Simon Owen's made a bet with Aria. They were playing chess… for every kill the opposite side has to do dare or reveal the truth. She asked about his most embarrassing stories.

Left with no choice, Simon revealed that he went to a gay bar once and flirted with a guy. But that guy took Simon's action seriously… and wanted to bed him even after knowing Simon was straight. When Simon refused he drugged him. But Simon somehow escaped from that man. From then… he never got in touch with a gay.

The very next day… this story got published. It garnered the attention of everyone. People teased Simon for it. And he even still gets teased for it.

Once upon a time, there was a time where Aria released an article about Griffin Callan's secret. He used to have a farmhouse far from the city. In that house… he has a big wine collection. He goes there whenever he was down or wants to party with his friends. He brings out his precious collections and drinks. But everyone in the circle knew that Griffin was banned from drinking by his wife.

Aria didn't go easy on him just because he won in a game against her. To take her revenge she exposed his precious collections. His wife came and seized all the wine and gave it away to everyone in the circle, leaving Griffin with a bleeding heart.

”Why?” Aiden said a single word looking at her.

”Yes, Why did you do this?” Regan asked.

”I am divorced. I am free now. I have lots of time. I don't know how to pass time. And the only gossip available here is Cedric and Eleanor's marriage,” Aria said shrugging her shoulders.

”YOU!!!!” Regan pointed at her. He pucked his hair feeling frustrated.

”You damn woman! Do you only have my son's and my daughter-in-law's gossip! Raymund Owen… was found with a girlfriend in a pub. Why don't you look at that!” Regan yelled.

”But this is the only thing that caught my interest. And for your information… she isn't his girlfriend but a one-night stand,” Aria said crossing her hands against her chest.

”Since, it's like this why are you here after publishing the article?” Regan asked. All he was left with pulling his hair. But for the sake of his handsome features, fame, image, and his name. He didn't pull his hair anymore as he was afraid that he would turn bald before she left his sight.

”I want to be a part of wedding arrangements,” Aria said.

”What!? No way!? I won't allow that!?” Regan said.

”Fine… I have a few pictures of Cedric and Eleanor kissing. I will release that… I will become a big paparazzo,” she said with an arrogant smirk.

”What the!?” Regan was stilled in his place.

”You don't have a bottom line! How could you be cruel!?” Regan felt frustrated.

Eric, Stephen, and Aiden felt like… they were seeing a kid feeling frustrated because his candy was taken away by the class bully. They shook their heads at the sight of Regan and let out a tired sigh.

”Let her join,” Aiden said, shocking Regan.
