"Okay."

After hanging up, Ariana told Betsy about what had happened to Josh.

Betsy grinned.

"He deserves it!"

That night, to celebrate Josh's downfall, Betsy had an extra bowl of noodles, and Ariana, whose appetite had grown with the good news, drank a lot of soup.

Afterward, Ariana leaned back on the sofa, her mind wandering.

She stared at her phone for a while, and wondered whether she could tell Theodore that the matter had been resolved.

In fact, when she had learned that Josh had been arrested, Theodore was the first person she thought of.

It was too much of a coincidence. Realistically, he was the only one who could've made it happen with that perfect timing.

After thinking about it for a while, she finally plucked up the courage to call him.

"Hello. Theodore is busy right now. If you have a message, I can pass it on to him."

The voice that answered the phone was soft, gentle, and female.

Ariana was stunned, She tried to move her lips to speak but couldn't say anything.

“Hello? Hello? Are you there?"

Ariana realized she recognized the voice, which brought her back to her senses.

“Where's Theodore? I have something to tell him myself."

There was a few moments of silence, before the woman spoke again. This time, her tone was a little colder.

"He's taking a shower. He can't answer the phone right now."

Then she hung up.

Ariana gripped the phone tightly for a while.
