Chapter: 507
Lyla glared at the girl and snapped, “Mind your own business. This is between Ariana and me. Stay out
of it.”
“Then don’t ask anyone to speak for you. What are you trying to accomplish?” The girl rolled her eyes
and shot back.
“Enough, both of you,” Donna interjected at that moment, stepping in as the leader.
She looked at the two quarreling women and said, “I’ve already requested to shut down the intranet
and have a technician address the issue urgently. Your personal disputes have now affected the
company. Both of you will receive a formal reprimand.”
Donna’s sudden appearance disrupted their impasse. Lyla looked annoyed. Now she couldn’t continue
to make trouble no matter how much she wanted, and the people watching the show from outside

Ariana was criticized for no reason, so she was not very pleased. She saw Lyla’s staring at her from the
corner of her eye and turned to meet her sharp glare.
She knew in her heart that this was only the end of a battle and not the war and that Lyla would
probably try to play tricks again in the future. But she was not afraid and stared back with fierce eyes.
She had been working here for so long that she was already well aware that being a pushover would
only get her manipulated, and villains were often cocky in that regard.
Lyla’s lips twisted into a dissatisfied sneer, and she shook her arms and left.
Almost everyone had departed at this point, and the office was peaceful again.
Ariana heaved a sigh of relief, and sat back in her chair, glad it was over. However, she noticed that the
girl who spoke for her earlier was still pacing back and forth at the door, peering in with a hesitant look
on her face.
“Come on in. Thank you for helping me just now.” Ariana beckoned the girl over with a chuckle.
This girl was not unfamiliar to her. Ariana had met her before during work hours downstairs, and she
always greeted her warmly. She looked like a sweet girl, and she was known to be very extroverted
and charismatic, a member of the business department downstairs.
As expected, Marge Freeman was overjoyed at the recognition at once. She hastily walked over to sit
down beside Ariana, and replied happily, “Ariana, don’t take Lyla to heart. She will pay for all the
horrible things she does sooner or later.”
“| know. I was going to move on and forget about it, but she’s very persistent.” With a sigh, Ariana stood
up and graciously poured a cup of fresh coffee for Marge.
Clearly, Marge wasn’t a fan of bitter things because she plopped in six sugar cubes in a row. Seeing
the amount she put in made Ariana’s teeth hurt at the thought of how sweet it must be.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe two of them merrily chatted for a while. When Marge caught a glimpse of the dating plan on
Ariana’s computer screen, she asked curiously, “Ariana, are you going on a date? So you have a
boyfriend?”
Ariana considered how she should answer for a while and said, “Actually, I’m married.”
As she spoke, she lifted the ring hanging on the chain around her neck and showed it to her. When she
saw Theodore sporting it before, she decided to find hers and start wearing it again.
At that time, the two of them hadn’t talked everything out, so she had avoided wearing it on her hand
because she was shy. Eventually, she put it on and never stopped wearing it.
Marge’s eyes widened slightly in surprise, and she leaned in to take a closer look at the ring. Her
eyebrows furrowed, and she looked up at Ariana and asked in a low voice, “Is it really that…”
Seeing Marge’s awkward demeanor, Ariana couldn’t help laughing. Knowing that the girl meant no
malice, she replied airily, “Of course, it’s not the person mentioned in the post. That was just a rumor.”
