She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor

Chapter 699: Chapter 699: Returning 100 Million

Alexander Knox knew Aria Richardson was upset and explained softly, "Alright, Aria, you are my fiancée, you are naturally more important than her."

"Fiancée?" Aria Richardson pursed her lips, her voice carrying a hint of sarcasm, "Lily Armstrong is more suitable to be your fiancée, I’m not."

Alexander Knox furrowed his dark eyebrows, "It was my mom’s fault today, I apologize on her behalf. I will handle this, you don’t have to worry."

Aria Richardson sighed and deeply looked at the man in front of her, "Alexander, you don’t have to go against your parents for me. Just like your mom said, I can’t compare to a girl like Lily Armstrong, and our family can’t compare to yours."

"You never need to compare yourself to anyone. Lily has her strengths, and you have yours. Why compare them against each other?"

Alexander Knox gazed at Aria Richardson for a long time, then leaned over to gently embrace her, his warm hand softly ruffling her hair, speaking tenderly, "Trust me, I will sort this out, just give me some time."

Aria Richardson closed her eyes briefly, finally responding with a soft "mm."

Seeing her agreement, Alexander Knox breathed a sigh of relief, "You didn’t eat much tonight, let me take you out for dinner. What would you like to eat?"

Aria Richardson pulled away from his embrace and shook her head, "No, I want to go home." noveldrama

Seeing her pale complexion, Alexander Knox didn’t insist, "Alright, I’ll take you home then."

"Alexander, I want to walk by myself."

Alexander Knox wasn’t sure if Aria Richardson still harbored resentment about what happened today. Her voice felt cold and distant.

Aria Richardson arrived home to find Miac Richardson and Isla Sue already there.

In the living room, the atmosphere was oppressive.

Seeing Aria return, Isla Sue immediately stood up, "Aria..."

Miac Richardson’s face darkened, and he slammed the table, "You still know to come back, huh? Where did you run off to this time?"

Isla Sue immediately shielded Aria, scolding Miac, "Why are you shouting? The child’s just come back. Can’t you speak properly?"

Miac Richardson raged, "You’re too lenient with her. Look at what she’s become now. If she stayed at home properly, would those photos have been taken? Would we be in this situation today? She’s completely disgraced me."

Pointing at Aria, he yelled so loudly her ears buzzed.

Isla Sue, anxious, tried to stop him, "Enough, say no more. Today, Aria was clearly wronged, yet here you are blaming your daughter."

"Was she not at fault? She threw water on someone’s face; was she not wrong?"

"But it was Natalie Rogers who slandered Aria first."

"If she had no issues at all, why would anyone say anything?"

"Aria Richardson, I’m telling you, tomorrow you’ll apologize and seek forgiveness. If this engagement falls through and affects the company, you can just get out of this house."

Tears glistened in Aria’s eyes, but she stubbornly lifted her head, holding back the tears, and after a moment, nodded.

"Fine, I understand. Don’t worry, I will find a way to repay the Knox Family, even if this engagement is broken off, I won’t let it affect your Richardson Clan, okay?"

"Aria." Isla Sue worriedly grabbed her, "Your dad is angry, don’t act like him."

"Mom, you don’t need to persuade me. I know what I’m doing."

With that, Aria ran out.

"Hey, Aria." Isla Sue chased after her for a couple of steps, then glared fiercely at Miac Richardson, "Your daughter was wronged today, and the moment she came home, you drove her out again. Are you satisfied now?"

"I..." Miac Richardson opened his mouth, but faced with Isla Sue’s questioning, he found it hard to defend himself.

Aria Richardson walked aimlessly on the street, the biting evening wind lifting her thin coat’s hem, cold seeping eagerly into her body.

At this moment, a Pagani slowly pulled up beside her, the window rolled down, and the man inside glanced at her.

"Hey, out here freezing like an ice sculpture this late at night."
