Chapter 715
As soon as they stepped into the mall, Aria dove straight into shopping mode. Margery pulled at her arm. “Aren’t you buying
a bit much?”

Aria shrugged. “It’s fine. I’ve got money to burn.”
Right then, a mocking laugh came from behind them. A guy in a loud floral shirt raised his voice on purpose. “Lydia, did you hear that? She says she’s rich!”
He threw up his arms like he was on stage. “Why not just buy the whole mall while she’s at it?”
Aria turned and saw four people nearby. Ophelia was hanging onto Griffin’s arm. Lydia stood a little farther back. The one making all the noise, Coby, had a smug look on his face.
Ophelia’s eyes were full of spite. “She stole my family’s company. Of course, she’s got money to throw around.”
Griffin patted her hand and added, “Some people just don’t know how to stop taking what isn’t theirs.”
Before he could keep going, Aria gave him a sharp, icy look. He shut right up. He remembered Aria wasn’t someone to be messed with, especially not physically.
Coby looked like he still wanted to run his mouth, but Lydia stepped in quickly, clearly annoyed. She walked straight up to Aria. “Ms. Saxon. Fancy seeing you here.”
Aria nodded slightly. “Hello.”
Lydia explained, “I’m just here on a work trip, checking out the place. I happened to run into them. I didn’t ask them to say any of that.” She shot a glance over her shoulder. “None of it came from me.”
Aria gave her a small smile. “No worries, Ms. Yeager. I won’t hold you responsible for their behavior.”
Lydia looked relieved. Then Aria turned to the sales assistant and said, “Send everything I ordered to Mayen Garden.”
She was about to leave when Coby suddenly stepped in front of her and blocked the way. He turned toward Griffin and smirked. “So this is your cousin? Not bad. No wonder Orlando handed her the Cole Group.”
Ophelia jumped in right after. “She probably cheated first and then tried to pin it all on my brother.”
Aria turned to her. “Sounds like you’re asking me to go after the rest of your brother’s shares too.”
Ophelia went white as a sheet. She clamped her mouth shut and didn’t say another word. Griffin stepped up and shielded his girlfriend. “Seriously, Aria? You steal people’s stuff and then threaten them too?”
“Step aside,” Aria said, her voice flat.
Lydia added, “Don’t block the path.”
Coby looked stunned. “Lydia, are you seriously taking her side?”
Lydia’s voice turned ice cold. “Ms. Saxon is my friend. She’s not some outsider.”
Margery grabbed Aria’s hand and tried to steer her away, but Coby stepped in front of them again. “Did I say you could
leave?”
Aria let out a low laugh. “I already gave you one chance.” The next second, Coby went flying. He hit the floor hard and slid a
