Chapter 695
Arianna was taken aback and quickly denied it. "What?! Of course not! It's obvious that your fan planned this.
Why would I do this? Besides-"
"Drop the act!" Eloise's gaze was fixated on Arianna as she shook her head.
"Do you think I'm blind? That lady had been staring at us since we entered the door. It was only when you
winked at her that she ran over. Even if she was my fan, would she have been so bold to ask for autographs
and be so uncourteous? She even harassed the guests. My fans would know the rules. If it's true that you
have nothing to do with this, this lady must be new and not know the rules around here!"
After a pause, she continued, "Then again, her ID card doesn't belong to those of the newcomers. Ari, I know
you're just being nice, but this is unnecessary. I'm already an old hag. There's no use for all these!"
"I really can’t win when it comes to you!" Arianna sighed, shaking her head. "I can't hide anything from you!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhy are you letting yourself be in such a position with a brain like yours? Are you going to allow a low-life like
that woman to trample all over you? "
Hearing this, Eloise shook her head. "It's not that I'm letting her trample over me. To your father, she's
the mother of his son.
They're obviously more important. You have no idea how much your dad prioritized sons over
daughters back in the day. His son is his life. If such a day were to come where he had to pick sides, I
fully believe he would rather cut me off than be on our side."
"If he's not going to stand by us, why should we still let him have the choice to do so?!" Arianna turned
Eloise's body to face the mirror. "Mom, look at yourself. You're still so beautiful! If you returned to the
industry, you could still win the best actress! Why should you be scared of a nobody? Aren't you
unhappy? Today will be a happy day for you!"
Through the mirror, Eloise noticed Arianna's scheming eyes and was stunned. "Ari, what are you
planning to do?"
"Nothing. Just sit back and enjoy the show!" With a smile, Arianna took Eloise's arm. "There's nothing
more to see here. Let's go somewhere else."
The two walked out of the store, and Eloise stopped after a few steps.
Her line of sight was on a luxurious storefront's large glass window. A woman was standing across the
cashier with an arrogant look and three assistants serving her. Their hands were full of all sorts of
things.
Although the sight made her bitter, and she tried to ignore it, Eloise recognized the woman her husband
was sleeping with.
She recognized her at a glance. Elizabeth. That was the mistress Joseph was catering to, the mother
of that illegitimate child, Damian.
Elizabeth was younger than Eloise and was well-groomed. She had the most fashionable hairstyle and

mistress.
"Mom, look at her!" Arianna was aware of this as she turned her
head and said softly, "You're here fuming while she's busy shopping. All those things, I bet it'll cost millions."
After a pause, she continued, "Guess where she got all that money? It seems she hasn't worked for years, yet,
she could still afford all these. Do you think she's using dad's card?"
"Enough!" Eloise snapped. Arianna was pushing her buttons.
Just as Eloise turned to leave, Arianna held her back. "Mom, where are you going? Don't you want a good
show?"
"Ari, what are you trying to do? Are you here to watch her, or are you here to watch me? Am I supposed to wait
for her to come out with a handful of things she bought with your dad's money and let her parade all over me?"
Eloise did not want to stay here any longer, let alone be humiliated.
