Chapter 227 - A Woman (1/2)

The temperature in the room suddenly felt cold. Dio's hair stood on end as he stared into Aiden's cold eyes. He unwittingly lowered his head, as if hiding his guilt. He did not dare to say another word.

”Dio, people around this estate may find you dead on the roadside from alcohol poisoning tomorrow morning,” Aiden said coldly.

”Are you threatening me because I'm telling the truth?” Dio panicked at Anya and begged for help, ”Anya, you have to help me. I don't want to die!”

”If you don't tell the truth, it doesn't look like you will have time to order your own coffin,” Aiden glanced at his bodyguard. Before the guards did Aiden's order, he had pulled Anya's body into his arms and covered her ears.

Anya still heard punches and kicks, but she couldn't hear Dio's screams at all.

Since they didn't want to scare Anya and didn't want to disturb the servants at home, Aiden's guards stuffed a cloth in Dio's mouth so that he couldn't scream.

Anya's heart was beating fast. Her little hands gripped Aiden's clothes tightly.

”Aiden. Even though Dio sounded reasonable and I still doubted the matter, you understand how I felt when I almost lost my crop. You know the taste, like when you lost the cat your mother gave you. I know you won't do it,” Anya said.

Aiden's face that looked gloomy immediately relieved after hearing Anya's words.

He then removed his hands from Anya's ears, and held her face with both hands before kissing her lips gently.

”Aiden. This time, I trust you,” Anya said in a low voice.

Anya knew that although Dio's words sounded reasonable, Aiden's reasoning was also right. If it was Aiden who did it, he wouldn't be this stupid.

Aiden was much smarter than that ...

He could do it really clean, leaving no trace at all and Anya would never find out what he did.

Therefore, Anya preferred to trust Aiden.

Besides, Dio knew too much about them. He could tell that Anya and Aiden were fighting. How did Dio know she wanted to leave Aiden? Dio also deliberately slandered Aiden, saying that it was Aiden who told him to destroy Anya's vanilla park.

His main purpose was to destabilize the relationship between Anya and Aiden. Who intended to ruin their relationship?

Aiden hugged Anya's body closer to him. ”Are you cold?”

”I'm not cold in your arms,” ​​Anya said with a smile.

”Let him go,” Aiden ordered. His guards immediately stopped beating Dio and took out the cloth that was sticking to his mouth.

Dio's body shook and he fell to the floor. His face was covered with blood stains.

Anya wanted to turn to see Dio's condition, but Aiden didn't allow it. He didn't want to dirty Anya's eyes...

”Dio, I know you don't intend to harm me. As long as you can tell who ordered you, I will ask Aiden to let you go.” Anya who was still in Aiden's arms said to Dio without looking at him.

Though she didn't look at Dio, she was currently facing a glass window in the living room so she could see Dio's chaotic condition.

”Anya, why are you so stupid? How could these rich people be sincere to you? When he is tired of you, he will throw you out as quickly as possible. If it's like that, who will take you? To make sure you stay by his side, he even does cruel things. Why are you so stubborn?” Dio shouted.

Anya's face turned pale. She couldn't believe Dio still didn't want to admit it even after being beaten so badly. So who was actually the fool? Anya or Dio?

Anya's voice sounded cold. ”Dio, I know you often help me. As long as you tell us, I won't sue you for this matter. But if you insist on hiding it, it is the same as intending to harm me. Because those people will continue to try to hurt me in the future.”

Hearing this, Dio suddenly raised his head. He looked at Aiden and Anya.

”Anya, why don't you trust me?” Dio looked sadly at Anya.

”Because Aiden will never hurt me. Whatever Aiden does, I am number one in his heart. He's not going to destroy the vanilla garden I fought for for years just to keep me by his side. In other words, you lied to me,” Anya calmly said.
