Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence

Theodore turned to Ariana and asked, “Is she really your sister?” “half-sister.” Despite her reluctance to acknowledge the familial connection, Ariana nodded her head affirmatively.

But before she could utter another word, Theodore let out an audible sigh and made a disparaging comment. He muttered, “So ugly.”

The tension in the room heightened to levels unknown, and Brielle’s seething rage was almost palpable. Her hands were balled into tight fists, and her nails were digging deep into her palms.

She couldn't believe that Theodore was coming to Ariana’s defense. After all, Jasper had claimed that Theodore was planning to divorce Ariana.

Glenda struggled to understand what was happening and reluctantly spoke up. “Theodore, I’m glad you’ve awoken. As her mother, I’m relieved to know that you'll be taking care of Ariana from now on.”

Theodore’s voice was icy as he replied, “Mother? Ariana informed me that her mother passed away a long time ago.”

Ariana couldn't help but let out a laugh. She found Theodore’s caustic wit amusing when it was directed at someone other than herself.

Glenda’s face fell, but she didn’t want to risk losing her temper, so she forced a smile and asked, “Theodore, what brings you here today?”

Theodore chuckled in response. Without wasting any time, he got straight to the point and declared, “Ariana is now a member of the Anderson family since she married me. As a result, her assets are now mine as well. It’s best to distinguish them from the Edwards family’s assets.”

His piercing gaze had the power to make Glenda cave in, even though he hadn’t raised his voice.

Ariana was stunned to know that Theodore was helping her to retrieve her part of the family property. She was unsure of how to react.

“The Edwards family doesn’t have much property left...” Glenda’s attempts to resist Theodore’s frightening gaze quickly crumbled, and she reluctantly added, “We can cooperate and involve a lawyer for the accounting, if needed.”

But even as Glenda spoke, Ariana knew she was merely stalling for time, hoping to avoid the inevitable confrontation.

However, Theodore wasn't fooled. “That won't be necessary. I’ve already consulted my lawyers beforehand,” he said with a smirk.

Horace strode up confidently, brandishing two thick folders from his leather briefcase. He extended one to Glenda and Brielle, the other to Ariana.

“Contained in here is the personal property that belonged to Ms. Edwards’ birth mother and a breakdown of the share allocation for the real estate left by her father. Our legal team has already confirmed the details with the late Mr. Edwards’ legal representative. If everything is satisfactory, kindly sign the documents.”

As they scrutinized the papers, Glenda’s and Brielle’s complexions turned pale.

They couldn’t believe how thorough Theodore’s lawyers had been in crafting an airtight agreement. It was clear that Theodore had spared no expense in hiring the best legal minds to ensure everything was executed precisely.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Even after half an hour of combing through every word, they couldn’t find a single weakness to exploit.

Eventually, Glenda and Ariana signed the documents while the lawyer bore witness.

Four copies of the agreement were prepared, with Ariana pocketing one and Theodore keeping another. As Ariana put away her copy of the contract, she couldn't help but notice the expensive earring hanging from Glenda’s left ear. “And return the rest of my mother’s belongings,” she demanded.

Glenda’s blood boiled with anger, but Theodore’s presence and his imposing assistant prevented her from losing her cool. She reluctantly took off the earring, her expression dark with resentment, and threw it toward Ariana.

Fuming with rage, Glenda reluctantly spat, “Fine. I'll ask the servant to pack your and your mother’s things up.”
