The Reborn Wife Of The Tyrant CEO
Chapter 134 - 132

Chapter 134: Chapter 132

I spent a good amount of time comforting Luna, hoping she wouldn’t fret over me and accidentally harm the baby in her belly

After hanging up, my dislike for Ariel hit a new high.

My hatred for Damon was burning like a wildfire.

I asked Jim to write a piece centered around the recording and send it to me for review.

Three days later, he sent me the draft.

Meanwhile, Jones messaged me that Ariel’s surgery in Cuba was temporarily postponed. She was returning home and would continue her regular check-ups and treatments at the hospital where she used to treat her heart condition.

As I was pondering over my next steps, Sofia called.

"Eliana, I’m at a loss for words!" she sounded exasperated, "News of Ariel’s heart condition is spreading like wildfire at the College. The school even organized a fundraiser, especially music department students, this is insane!"

"A fundraiser? She’s got Damon, why would she need a fundraiser?’ I sneered.

"People are saying she and Damon are just friends, and Damon is the one pursuing her. She wouldn’t accept any financial support from Damon. Many people think she’s quite proud and those who criticized her before are now starting to feel sorry for her", Sofia replied.

Although Ariel was cunning, she did care about dignity, otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people willing to believe her.

In some ways, she was good at disguising herself, always able to make most people like her.

Unless Damon came forward to clarify, those rumors would be taken as truth by the public, and Ariel’s bad reputation-would slowly fade away

She might even use her heart condition as an excuse for being with Damon, saying she was moved by Damon’s unwavering support.

I knew Damon wouldn’t come forward to explain to anyone.

"A lot of people don’t know the whole story, they only see the surface, so they’re easily swayed. It’s okay, the higher shes lifted, the harder she’ll fall," I said

"She’s supposedly returning home in the next couple of days and is planning to go back to school to personally return the donations to help some poor but excellent students.

Sofia sighed deeply. "I now truly understand what a wolf in sheep’s clothing means."

"If she’s going back to school, would they throw her a welcome party?" I spotted an opportunity.

Sofia replied, "Definitely She’s popular because of Damon and her generous act of donating all the fundraising money to the school will certainly be publicized and praised"

I already had a rough plan in mind.

Indeed, Ariel returned home the next day, and to my surprise, Damon was not in the airport photo, but Karen and Nicole were

The media’s attention on Ariel was entirely because of Damon. Many female celebrities had used him to boost their exposure.

The online comments were quite interesting.

"Before I cursed Ariel as a homewrecker! After knowing Ariel was forced to accept Damon and has severe heart disease, I thought I deserved to die""

"Ariel probably isn’t with Damon yet, or why would she need to raise funds?"

"Don’t worry guys. I’ll share the guilt for the past misunderstandings about her. God bless that girl"

"Ariel’s friends and family speak highly of her. She can’t be that bad, right?"

I read these comments with a poker face, closed the webpage, and switched on the recorder, checking the information inside.

Suddenly, a call interrupted my work. It was Damon’s number, that strangely familiar number.

I used to eagerly anticipate him giving me a call, just to have a chat, even if he didn’t speak, just listening to me was enough.

Now I hated him to the bone, regretting my previous wishful thinking time and time again.

After hanging up, a message popped up: [Im outside your house, let’s meet and talk]

Did he return home before Ariel?

I replied with two words: [GET LOST].

After that, I was ready to block him, but another message came: [Don’t you want to know why I keep protecting her? Come out, I’ll tell you]

Damon knew me well, knowing that I didn’t care about anything else but this one thing.

If what he felt for Ariel wasn’t love, then what was it? Like in TV dramas, did Ariel once save his life?

My mom was making chicken soup for me. My dad didn’t come home for lunch since he was at work. The house was empty. I changed my shoes and went out.

Damon’s car was parked at the gate. Its sleek curves reflected the sunlight, very eye-catching. He sat in the car waiting for me.

I got in the passenger seat and said coldly. "Now you can tell me."

"Ariel had a heart transplant. If she’s to have another one, the complexity and risk of the surgery will increase." Damon’s voice was as magnetic as ever calm.

"Don’t you think that’s a lame excuse?" I laughed sarcastically. "Are you afraid that I wouldn’t understand how much you care and worry about her?"

Damon frowned, "Do you really have to talk like this?"

"Where did I go wrong?" I looked at him coldly, "Damon, if killing wasn’t illegal, I would’ve killed you and Ariel a long time ago. You both are murderers who killed my baby!"

As soon as I finished, Damon suddenly punched the steering wheel, his eyes filled with uncontrollable rage, "That was my baby too, Eliana! For three months, you didn’t give me any news. I was kept in the dark like a fool. Did you ever give me a chance to take care of you? Did you ever give me a chance to handle everything? In the end, after the baby was gone, that’s when I found out. Did you want me to accept this fact without knowing anything? Is my crime really that big?"

My heart pounded, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, it was suffocating. I forced a smile, "Don’t you have Ariel?"

"I wanted the baby, not her!" Damon was seething with anger, like a volcano that had been holding back for a long time finally erupted.

Even if he didn’t love me, he should at least love his own child

I looked at his angry face, mouth agape, but in the end, I didn’t tell him that even without Ariel, the kid might not have made it.

I could handle losing the kid due to other reasons, but I couldn’t stand the fact that it was because of Ariel

"Have you not loved me for ten years? Why, after I confessed my feelings for you, did you choose to divorce me so firmly? You didn’t even give me a chance to sort out other issues. What did I do wrong? What grave mistake did I make to deserve such punishment?’ Damon’s eyes were filled with anger, glaring at me.

I tried to keep my cool facing Damon’s meltdown, "If you care about the baby so much, you should go deal with Ariel. She’s the one who messed things up."
