Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 701

Chapter 701

Johnny had plenty on his plate, so he didn’t seem like the type to bother with an employee’s design drafts.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Johnny defended himself. “It’s just that she’s your sister, and after all, she’s also Pearl’s

sister.”

Aria raised an eyebrow and teased, “I haven’t even said anything yet. Why are you getting so worked up?”

Johnny clenched his fists. “Keep that attitude, and I won’t recommend anyone to you.”

“Fine by me, I can just pass on Phosphor Group.”

Johnny was left utterly speechless, torn between exasperation and helplessness.

Changing the subject, Johnny said, “Alan’s been running into quite a few issues during his internship. He specifically asked me if he could consult his mentor about them. What’s your take on this?”

Aria said casually, “Prof. Galan is coming anyway, so Alan can just ask him.”

Johnny raised an eyebrow at Aria. “You’re awfully confident. But what if he doesn’t show up?”

“Prof. Galan won’t leak anything. Rest assured,” Aria said as she stood up. “That’s all I came to discuss today. I’ll take my leave

now.”

Johnny stood up as well. “Let me walk you out.”

Aria made her way out of the office. Johnny followed a step behind her. The elevator stopped on the twelfth floor. As the doors slid open, Aria saw a familiar face―Lydia.

Cecil Quigley, the president of the Stars Group, hastened to greet them. “Mr. Oconnor, Ms. Saxon, this is Ms. Thorne, the vice president of the Shaw Group, and these two are Ms. Yeager and Mr. Corner. They’re here today to discuss a potential collaboration.”

Johnny extended his hand first. “Good to see you, Ms. Thorne.” After exchanging pleasantries, Johnny personally escorted the three guests downstairs.

The elevator doors slid shut. Just as Johnny was about to introduce Aria, Lydia smiled knowingly. “We’re acquainted.”

“Ms. Saxon, it’s been a while,” Lydia said with a polite smile. “I’m the fashion designer from the Shaw Group.”

“Long time no see, Ms. Yeager. You’re quite impressive,” said Aria.

A flicker of disappointment crossed Lydia’s eyes. No matter how accomplished she was, Owen’s heart would always be out of

reach.

Watching Johnny’s deferential attitude toward Aria, Lydia dissolved her last flicker of competitive pride into profound self- doubt.

All the things Lydia had always been so proud of, her prestigious family background and elite education, were exactly what

Aria couldn’t have cared less about.

The disparity in their status was so vast. Lydia knew she could never truly rival Aria in love. Thankfully, she came to her

senses in time,

“By the way, Ms. Saxon,” Lydia suddenly remembered, “I met a friend named Flynt a while ago, and he seems to know you.”

While conversing with Marin, the vice president, Johnny kept his expression neutral, but, upon hearing this, subtly tuned in to the conversation nearby.

“We are acquainted,” Aria replied evenly.

Lydia’s expression turned grave. “Flynt isn’t who he appears to be. If he’s getting close to you and Owen for some other reason, please be cautious.”

Aria gave a faint smile. “Thanks for the heads-up.”
