Helen was anxious. She took out a gift box and handed it over to Theodore.

"Here's a gift I prepared for you."

Theodore took it but didn't intend on opening it. He said faintly, "Thank you. I'll open it when I have time."

Helen ignored his cold attitude.

"It's a cuff link embedded with Marley's favorite sapphire. I thought of Marley as soon as I saw it."

At the mention of Marley's name, Theodore's cold face softened. He looked down at the velvet box in his hand. After a few seconds, he opened it and attached the cuff link to his shirt.

"Thank you. I really like it." A smile appeared on his face, which made Helen relieved and happy.

“Take care of yourself and have a good rest." With that, Theodore left.

The dining room fell silent. Helen's smile disappeared and was replaced with an expression of resentment. She gripped the table cloth, and felt almost unable to control her emotions.

She had to mention Marley if she wanted Theodore to be nice to her.

It was the same case last night. She wanted to celebrate his birthday, so she went out with him, but then he asked the bodyguard to take care of her.

Helen was so angry that her heart began to beat faster. She covered her chest and her face gradually distorted.

In the past, there had been Marley, and now it was Ariana. She had never been the person who Theodore truly cared about.

She had to find a way to get rid of Ariana! Without Ariana in the way, Theodore would be hers sooner or later!

After leaving the Anderson family's house, Ariana went straight to the company.

She was still hungry so she bought hot cocoa and bread in the coffee shop near the company. She felt so much better afterward.

She strolled into work and was greeted by several people before she reached the elevator.

Although she was surprised by her colleagues' warm attitude, she greeted them back. Sarah had quickly become one of the most popular artists because of the variety show, and as her agent, Ariana’'s status had also risen.

People in this industry only respected those who had connections and resources.

When Ariana thought it through, she knew what to do. Since they all wanted to get close to her, she couldn't refuse them. The workplace was like a battlefield, and the enemy of her enemy might be her friend.
