“I have a secret about Theodore that I want to tell you. If you want to know, come to this place alone."

Ariana glanced at the address, her eyes skimming over the text. After a contemplative pause, she replied, "Helen, is it? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me! I won't be falling for your tricks again. Count me out!"

With that message sent, Ariana attempted to drift back into slumber, but restlessness plagued her.

Before long, her phone rang again, displaying the same ominous number.

After a moment's hesitation, she answered, and there was Helen's voice, dripping with venomous malice, no Longer bothering to veil her Loathing for Ariana.

Through clenched teeth, she sneered, "Why won't you come? Scared of me, are you?"

Ariana kept her composure and calmly replied, “No reason to entangle myself with someone like you!"

Helen's tone oozed mockery as she shot back, “Someone Like me? What kind of person am I? And what does that make you? A Lamb headed to the slaughter without a clue!"

Ariana could practically envision Helen's twisted expression from the warped sound of her voice.

She reminded herself not to be swayed by Helen's words, but her heart raced, and she couldn't help but ask, “What do you mean?"

With a cold laugh, Helen retorted, “I already told you, Theodore won't keep your children! Why don't you believe me?"

“You're lying!" Emotion surged within Ariana.

“I've already told him everything, and we'll be happy together!"

Helen's laughter intensified, echoing malevolently.

“Come on, you're so naive. You don't understand Theodore at al

She emphasized the words “don't understand" with a sinister tone and added, "You're having the surgery today, right?"

Ariana's heart skipped a beat at how Helen knew about her surgery.

Panic threatened to consume her, but she masked it with a composed facade, responding, “It's just a simple treatment procedure."

Helen sneered, not denying anything, and remarked, "Yes, just a small surgery!"

The chilling quality of her voice sent shivers down Ariana's spine, and before she could say more, Helen casually suggested, “Since you're too afraid to meet me, why don't you check the mailbox at the entrance of the Anderson family's mansion? I left you a gift!"
