Chapter: 291
“Shut up, Theodore! Can’t you act your age for once?” she scolded him.
Ariana’s face flushed with embarrassment as she clamped her hand over
Theodore’s mouth, silencing his taunts. As she removed her hand, she quickly realized the reason
behind his behavior and checked her phone.
Sure enough, there was a call from an unknown number that lasted only a few seconds. Ariana’s
intuition told her it was Tyler, as she had given him her number earlier that day.
It all made sense now why Theodore was acting out.
With a gentle cough, Ariana shifted her gaze toward Theodore, who appeared perturbed, and spoke
softly. “The person you heard on the phone is Tyler Brewer, Betty’s younger brother. I’m going to sign a

fortunately, she was saved. Concerned for his family’s wellbeing, I gave him my number, thinking he
might require my assistance.”
Theodore’s previously cold face softened a little, but his voice still held a hint of despondency. “But isn’t
it too familiar for him to call you by your name so sweetly?
You’ll be his leader.”
Ariana rolled her eyes and brushed off his concern. “It’s not a big deal, and I’m not his leader. We’ll
work together. You’re just making a mountain out of a molehill.”
Theodore remained uneasy, his discomfort palpable. After a few moments of silence, he issued a stern
warning. “Remember, until we’re officially divorced, you are still my wife. And that means you’re
forbidden from getting involved with other men…”
“Fine. Then let’s get a divorce.”
Ariana didn’t hesitate to cut Theodore off before he could finish his words.
Theodore’s jaw clenched as he glared at her. “What are you talking about?”
Ariana’s heart was pounding nervously as she stared at Theodore’s darkened face.
She could feel his tense arms around her, but she mustered the courage to break free. Thoughts of
Helen gave her strength as she stood up for herself. “You know exactly what I’m talking about. I’m sick
and tired of this. You took a woman home to live with you, but you don’t allow me to get involved with
other men? And you have the nerve to interrogate me first?”
As Ariana continued to speak, her voice became increasingly despondent and tears began to well up in
her eyes. The thought of Helen’s attitude toward her only added to her distress.

asked.
Ariana shot him a disdainful look without saying anything.
Theodore looked at her and explained seriously, “I assure you, I only treat Helen as a younger sister.”
“I don’t think so,” Ariana retorted coldly.
Suddenly, Theodore’s expression shifted, his eyebrows raised as if he had an epiphany. “Ah, I see,” he
said with a smirk. “Are you jealous?” ©
As Theodore observed Ariana’s anger and realized her jealousy, a smirk played on his lips.
