As soon as she sat down, Theodore tossed her a blanket. “Don’t catch a cold. You will infect me. | can’t afford to fall sick again
after barely escaping death.”
Ariana growled inwardly as she wrapped herself like a burrito with the blanket. She hadn’t seen this man for a few days, and he
was still so sharp-tongued.
“You plan to manage Sarah despite everything she has ongoing?” Theodore suddenly asked.
Ariana was stunned. But when she saw that Horace was behind the wheel, it all clicked.
She lowered her head and rubbed her chin against the blanket. In a dispirited mood, she finally replied, “I have no choice.
Besides, Sarah is a victim. Her ex-husband set her up. | want to help her the best way I can.” “What makes you so sure that
she’s telling the truth? Did she show you any proof? She could be lying for all we know,” Theodore commented with a chuckle.
“What do you mean?” Ariana stilled for a second. She looked up at him, her eyes narrowing with suspicion.
Theodore held out his phone to her. “See for yourself.”
“What is it?” Puzzled, Ariana took the phone over. The first thing she saw was a picture of a paternity test report.
“That’s the paternity test result of Sarah’s daughter and Lynch. It says that Lynch isn’t the little girl’s father,” Theodore said flatly.
“What? Is this real?” Ariana couldn’t believe it She enlarged the photo quickly. If this report was real, it would be the last nail in
the coffin for Sarah. There was no coming back if the media got a hold of this report.novelbin
“Of course, it’s real! | got it from the hospital. It appears Lynch had the test conducted over a year ago. Since he hasn’t released
it to the media yet, he’s definitely holding it as a trump card. Sarah won’t be able to ride out the storm if this gets out.” Theodore
turned to look at the Befuddled Ariana and continued, “It appears Sarah is just using you. She wasn’t a hundred percent honest
with you. Everyone has cut all ties with her. But what did you do? You decided to step in hoping to save her. | hope you now see
that it was a wrong move.”
An eerie sound was ringing in Ariana’s ears. She wasn’t sure of what to believe now.
Sarah’s sad face appeared in her mind. She remembered how angry the pop star had been. Every word that Sarah said
sounded so sincere.
Were they all lies? If so, why did Sarah lie to her?
Theodore’s heart sang when he saw the frustrated look on her face. He moved closer and tipped her chin up with his fingers.
“Give it up, Ariana. This matter is beyond you. You and | know that you need my help. If you beg me, | can consider arranging a
new artist for you.”
Ariana blinked her eyes several times. “I should beg you?”
“Yes, beg me.” With a snicker, Theodore leaned forward, closing the small distance between them. “After all, it won’t be the first
time, and neither will it be the last.”
Those conceited words annoyed Ariana greatly. She struggled to break free from his hold. Suddenly, the car jerked, jolting her
toward him. Her Ips pressed against his. The softness of his lips caught her off guard.
A muffled groan escaped from Theodore’s mouth.
Ariana’s brain seemed to stop functioning. Her widened eyes were so close to his that she could see her reflection in them.
Many seconds passed before Ariana finally came to her senses. She realized she was supporting herself with her hand on
Theodore’s crotch!
Time seemed to have stopped while the awkward kiss lasted. A deafening silence fell in the car as soon as it began moving
again. Ariana pulled away from Theodore and rubbed her lips with the back of her hand. Her cheeks turned red in a split second.
