The Heiress's Return: From Zen to Zenith-Chapter 1405

Chapter 1405: 652 Truth_3 Chapter 1405: 652 Truth_3 Gabriella Linggo widened her eyes, stared intently at her face, and exclaimed, “No wonder you looked familiar to me.

You are from the Arias, no wonder.”

The people of the Arias all look good.

Ten minutes later, Peter Aria and Loretta entered Gabriella Linggo’s room, and Aubree Groove was about to leave as she closed the door.

Peter Aria spoke, “Aubree, stay.”

Aubree Groove looked at Peter Aria, closed the door, and walked in.

From the moment Peter Aria entered the room, Gabriella Linggo fixated on his face.

It was very impolite, but Peter Aria said nothing, as he too was sizing up the woman in front of him.

She didn’t look that different from her picture; only, the wrinkles around her eyes had multiplied, her face filled with fatigue and changes wrought by time.

...

“Fourteen years have passed.

I never thought I would see you, Mr.

Aria, in my lifetime.”

Peter Aria’s eyes flickered, “You have never seen me before?”

“Yes, I have never met you.

But, I have heard a lot about you, Ms.

Parker, she!.”

Upon hearing the name Ms.

Parker, the calm maintained by Peter Aria finally shattered.

He hastily questioned, “Where is she?”

Gabriella Linggo smirked, her eyes filled with mockery.

“You’re worried now.

But where were you when Ms.

Parker needed you?”

Peter Aria’s hands clenched into fists, veins bulging on his bare skin.

“Do you know what kind of torment she suffered in the Frosts’ house?

She was locked in the basement, eating stale rice and cold water every day.

Virginia Frost, that cruel woman, tortured her in countless ways and she was able to endure it.

Did you know that?

She’s pregnant with your child.”

The man, forever cold and aristocratic, sat dumbfounded as if his soul had been stripped away.

“She was afraid that Virginia Frost would take her child away if she found out, so she tried her best to hide it.

She even knelt and licked Virginia Frost’s shoes.

Virginia Frost knew exactly how to humiliate someone.

Why should such a proud and wonderful girl be treated so cruelly by fate?”

Gabriella Linggo, recalling these cruel years, the corners of her eyes filled with tears.

“She was so fragile, like a delicate blossom in a greenhouse, yet under the harsh winds and rain, she remained strong.

She said she couldn’t die.

She had to give birth to the child safely.

It was the product of her love.

How could she let this little life disappear into the world without even seeing the sun?

With tears in her eyes, she knelt and begged me for help.

Even after being humiliated by Virginia Frost, she never cried.

She knelt and kowtowed to me, asking me to help her save the child, promising to reward me in her next life, even if she had to be a cow or a horse.”

Peter Aria could hardly breathe, his hands clutching his head in agony.

This unimaginable experience was something the woman he loved had actually lived through.

Every word was like a knife, relentlessly thrusting into his heart, causing him such pain that he could barely breathe.

He felt he could die any moment.

Loretta was already crying, teeth clenched as she swore, “Virginia Frost, if I find you, I’ll skin you alive and dismember your body.”

Only Aubree Groove remained calm, as if listening to someone else’s story.

No one among the three immersed in sadness noticed that the young lady unknowingly had her fingernails dug into the skin under her thin clothes.

Outside the door, Nicholas Drake leaned against the door panel, his gaze heavy and sorrowful.

Sorrowful for the person in the heavy story.

But now, how could he ever atone for his sins?

“She told me that the father of her child was Peter Aria and that he had never seen his own child.

If he knew he had a child, he would be so happy, she wanted him to see his own child with his own eyes.

At that time, Mr.

Aria, you were famous in Lostswa, and I quickly learned about you.

I told her, silly girl, don’t wait anymore.

He’s gone abroad, while you’re struggling for your life and his child’s here, he will never know what you are going through.

I had never seen her so desperate.

She didn’t eat or drink for three days, even Virginia Frost thought she was going to die.

One night, I secretly went to see her, brought her a junk bun, and talked a lot with her.

She cried all night that night.

After eating the bun, she told me that she was already tired of living, except she couldn’t bear to leave the child.

Her life was a joke, but she couldn’t let the child be wronged.

Interestingly, after so many setbacks, the child was still healthy.

She felt that the child was God’s gift, she was no longer decadent, started to eat well, and started to plan her escape.”
