"I'm the mistress?" Anna sneered upon hearing Sharon's words and looked back to Ariah, saying, "Miss Myers, do you really think that Jimmy loves you? I'm afraid you're just a substitute."
Before Ariah could say something, Sharon retorted, "That's enough. Stop sowing discord between them..."
"What did you say just now?" Ariah interrupted and looked straight into Anna's eyes.
Anna sneered, then looked at her coldly, shaking her head. "Miss Myers, I thought you could sense that Jimmy never really trusted you even though you two are married."
Instantly, Ariah's face turned pale completely.
It was true. Jimmy had never truly shared his heart with her for all these years.
They were like strangers.
After saying that, Anna turned around and helped Jimmy up, who was still lying on the sofa. "Jimmy, you're drunk. Shall I take you home?"
When Jimmy heard her soft voice, he was still in a daze, wondering if it was Ariah talking to him.
Because he seemed to have heard her voice
earlier...
So it must be Ariah talking to him now, right?
"Alright, let's go home..." Jimmy staggered to his feet and pulled Ariah' into his embrace.
On the other hand, Ariah watched Jimmy leave with Anna just like that.
Just as Sharon wanted to chase after the two, Stanley pulled her back. "Where are you going?"
"Let go of me. I'm wanna ask Jimmy why he left with that woman while Ariah is still here!"
Hearing that, Stanley pulled her back and said, "You better don't. Ariah didn't even go after him..."
However, Sharon thought Ariah must have been so angry that she just stood rooted to the ground, but then Ariah said calmly, "Well, I've divorced with Jimmy already, so he can do whatever he wants. I don't care anymore."
Upon hearing that, Sharon widened her eyes in disbelief and had a sense that Ariah was truly mad.
It was obvious that Ariah still cared about Jimmy.
Nevertheless, Ariah just smiled at her as she said, "Sharon, sorry to disturb you last night. You guys can go back first. I'll take the cab back."
Sharon hurriedly said, "I can get Stanley to send you back..."
"No need! Don't worry. I can go back by myself." Ariah refused and walked out. Then, she thought of something, paused, and said, "By the way, I think maybe you two should stop the silent war. It was quite childish for two adults to act like this. Besides, it'd be a great loss if someone takes advantage of the situation."
After she said that, she shot a cold glance at Liam, who had been watching the show from the sidelines. She was warning Liam not to play tricks like this anymore, as she knew that he was the mastermind behind tonight's events.
Nevertheless, Liam just leaned against the wall, shrugging his shoulders noncommittally.
Ariah snorted and couldn't be bothered to argue with him. She turned around and left.
