Chapter 10: Without Any Emotion

Aria was stunned by the words without any emotion for a moment and soon returned to the present moment. She overestimated herself. Before the divorce, he was already indifferent to her. How could she expect him to help her after the divorce? Now she was not even "Mrs. Harris" anymore! Somehow, Aria panicked, clutched the corner of her clothes, and did not dare to look the man in the face. What was going on with her? Why would she expect this man to help her? The hair on Aria's forehead was soaked with cold sweat. She tried to calm herself, took a deep breath, lowered her head, and said in a very low voice, "Sorry." After saying that, she turned around and disappeared step by step in the corridor. Aria stepped forward and never stopped for another second. She knew that the man was staring at herself behind her and felt uneasy. At the moment when Aria entered the elevator at the corner, Grayson withdrew his eyes with a sense of loss, his thin lips pressing and his eyebrows frowning. ... Aria got into the elevator and finally felt a lot relieved. She covered her undulating chest and tilted her head back, trying not to let tears slide down from the corners of her eyes. The glass window of the elevator reflected her pale face, which looked like a fleeing animal. For six years, she could never be able to be calm in front of him. But today was finally the last day. Aria walked out of "Heaven on Earth" muddleheaded. The fine sunlight spread all over her body and the breeze brought a little inexplicable bitter cold. The waiting for so many days and nights had finally become a thing of the past. But all the way out of the door of Heaven on Earth, Aria did not see Riley. When the picture of Riley standing up to protect her in the private room came to mind, Aria's heart suddenly softened. Looking around, Aria still couldn't find Riley. She took out her cell phone and dialed a number with her delicate fingertips. After the phone rang a few times, Riley cried at the other end before Aria could speak. Aria felt a tingle and had a faint feeling of uneasiness. "Aria, you were also present at that time. It was that woman who offended us with rude words first. Come and help me..." Riley said trembling for help. "Riley, where are you?" As soon as Aria heard Riley's voice, she could not help but feel anxious. "I... I'm at the police station." Riley's voice trembled and she swallowed back her tears. Aria hailed a taxi, told the driver the destination, and comforted Riley, "Don't worry, I'll be right over." ... The police station was located in the closest place to the western suburbs of Z City. Aria clenched her hands tightly. The fine sweat on her forehead showed her anxiety. More than ten minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the police station. Aria paid the money and rushed to the police station. When the door of the interrogation room was opened, Riley, who was sitting in a chair, was already sobbing too much to speak. Mason, with one hand in his pocket, looked askance at Riley carelessly, surrounded by several policemen who were questioning. Seeing Aria coming, he slowly raised his eyes. His dark eyes looked at her seemingly probingly. Aria only glanced at him and walked straight to Riley. Hearing the noise, Riley raised her head with messy hair and looked at the person coming. Her pale face was covered with tears. Seeing Aria, she got up excitedly, leaned on Aria's shoulders, and cried bitterly, "Aria, I... I didn't do it on purpose... I don't want to go to jail..." Aria patted her on the back, calming her emotions and thinking a lot. Riley was guilty of intentional wounding and would either lose a large sum of money or lose several years of her youth. Riley had no father, no mother, and no one to depend on since childhood. At that time, Aria found her pity and helped her and her adoptive mother. Otherwise, they would still endure the hardships of life. She had no money, no power, and no one to rely on. Aria provided her with a job and a place to live. She was very grateful and treated Aria as a rescuer. This time, it was also because of Aria that she acted on impulse. "I didn't want this to happen... If it wasn't for that woman insulting you... Aria, what I can't bear most is someone bullying you... if it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I would have died long ago, Aria..." Riley said, blaming herself immensely, "I'm sorry for always getting you into trouble. It's all my fault..." "It's okay, it's okay, Riley, it's not your fault..." Aria paused, lifted Riley's crying face, stared into her eyes, and said gently, "Riley, do you believe me?" Riley was stunned, "Aria, why do you ask this?" Aria raised her hand, put Riley's scattered hair behind her ears, and then took Riley's hands, "Riley, don't you forget that I am at least the daughter of the Wilson family. With the Wilson family's influence in Z City, I won't let you go to prison. Riley, you can rest assured that I will save you out no matter what. Can you give me some time?" Riley stared blankly at Aria's pupils full of certainty and had an inexplicable bitterness in her throat. At this moment, Mason on the side slowly said, "Officer Watson, you must give an explanation to Heaven on Earth about this matter. Since she refuses to make compensation, then... you can do as you see fit!"
