NovelOnlineChapter 1588 Deluding Oneself
Squinting her eyes, Susanne tried to use the moonlight outside to see who the woman approaching her was. Despite the panic she
felt, she still managed to put on a strong front.
Over the years, her son had made plenty of enemies in the course of his company’s expansion. Thus, she had no idea which one of
them the woman was. She wasn't afraid of dying. Instead, her real concern was that she was used as bait to lure Vinson into a trap.
The woman walked up to Susanne and stared at her for a minute before circling behind her and knocking her out with a karate
chop.
“Take her away!" As the woman's piercing voice echoed through the factory, two burly men entered immediately and carried
Susanne outside.
Over the last few days in school, Alicia was constantly distracted in class, causing her best friend, Marianna, to worry.
When both of them were having lunch one day, Marianna couldn’t help but ask, “Alicia, what's wrong with you? Why do you look
out of sorts recently?’*
“No, I'm not. Haven't | always been this way?'* In spite of the panic triggered by Marianna’s words, Alicia kept her composure.
What happened between Aaron and her could never be shared with Marianna, even if the latter was her best friend. The reason
was that she had sworn herself to secrecy in front of Aaron, vowing to pretend as if nothing had happened.
After staring briefly at Alicia, Marianna lowered her gaze in resignation. Given that both of them grew up together, she could tell

“Perhaps | was just overthinking it." Just as Marianna spoke, Alicia added immediately, “‘Precisely. You are overthinking it.”
Throwing her another glance, Marianna didn’t expose her lie.
In the evening, Alicia planned to visit Clement since she didn’t have any classes. Initially, she had intended to rent a place for him
right next to her school but didn’t expect Aaron to have thought of it. When the latter sent them hthe other day, he had
already made the arrangements by presenting Clement with a house in return for saving his life.
Clement declined the gift initially but relented in the end after Aaron’s insistence.
The moment she cout of school, she saw Aaron leaning against the car with a cigarette between his fingers, smoking it
intermittently. Underneath the dim street lamp, his towering figure exuded a lonely vibe.
Unsure of whether he was there to see her, she didn’t dare approach him. After all, he didn’t contact her ever since their last
meeting. Standing still, she stared admiringly at his figure while her eyes were brimming with affection.
Given the intensity of her gaze, Aaron turned his attention toward her, causing her to lower her head in reflex and walk in a
different direction. Suddenly, she felt someone grab her hand. Turning around by reflex, her eyes peered into his abyss-like gaze.
“Why did you leave after seeing me?’* Aaron asked with a frown as he maintained his grip on her hand.
Alicia looked toward the ground. “| was afraid that you didn’t want to see me."
Considering that | heard nothing from you for the past few days, how would | know if you were here for me?
She didn’t want to make assumptions about his feelings for fear of annoying him.
Shoving her hand aside, Aaron barked, “Follow me."
