Chapter 439 – [Bonus ]Aaron’s Hope
The smile on Stefi's face disappeared when she saw her husband just changed his clothes without looking at her, who was already standing in a sensual pose and showed her low cleavage.
"I need a moment with Wayne and the others. You better stay in your room and don't go anywhere. But if you want to stay out, I can't stop you," Leon said without pause as he walked away towards the half-open door and walked away with Wayne and all his men who were waiting at the door.
Stefi was frozen to see Leon just leave, ignoring her who was already prepared. Her eyes were glaring at the back of her husband, as he moved away.
Crash!
"Arrgghhhh…! Wayne, you bastard, damn it!!! How dare you take my husband away!" Stefi screamed crazily after throwing the glass on the floor full of emotion. She really couldn't contain her anger and hatred for Wayne Scott any longer.
Stefi knew that her husband's right hand really didn't like her, that was why she tried not to make the slightest mistake. Stefi didn't want to make any stains that could provoke Leon's anger. Because of that, Stefi kept her distance from any man who was close to her. She didn't want to be Wayne's target.
"I'm still patient with you, Wayne, but just wait. When I can manage Leon again, then you are the first person I will kick out into the streets, just wait, Wayne…aarggghhhh…!"

Rose, who was sitting on the balcony of Aaron's room after being pulled away from the restaurant, was surprised when he heard a fairly clear scream. "Do you heard that, Aaron?"
Aaron raised his face and looked at Rose in confusion. "Listen to what?"
"There was a woman's scream just now, obviously," said Rose quietly.
"Right now we're at the hotel, Rose, you know what I'm talking about right?"
Blush!
Rose's face turned red when she understood what Aaron was talking about.
While Aaron only smiled faintly at Rose blushing, he then finished up the mineral water in the bottle he was holding. "The girl from the restaurant, do you know who she is?"
Rose, who was looking away in shame at Aaron, looked very surprised. "W-what, what are you talking about Aaron?"
"Candice Skyriver, the girl who made a fuss at the restaurant. Do you know her?" Aaron repeated his question.
"Of course, who doesn't know that scandalous model? She became a supermodel in a short time. Many people said that the girl got support from rich people so that she could be on the top model list, which is actually a position that can only be achieved by models who have spent years on the catwalk. But Candice Skyriver could be in that position in a short time. If she was not supported by some rich people, how could she possibly have achieved it? That's what we often discussed. You know journalists have sharper instincts than the police and our instincts are usually always right, although we can't reveal it to the public because there are one thing or another that makes us have to keep everything a secret," answered Rose at length, full of enthusiasm. Her journalist spirit showed while discussing Candice Skyriver.
Aaron smiled at Rose's words. "Do you have any more information about her?"
Rose tapped her cheek with her index finger. "There are a lot of it, it's just that this information is a little confusing, I definitely heard that she was fired from a famous modeling agency in New York for being involved in drug abuse. That's why she returned to London, but strangely, why would she be back waddling on the catwalk again if she was involved in a drug abuse case like that huh…? Hmmmm, she is really an eel. She's very slippery. Surely the person behind her isn't just anyone. I'm absolutely sure."
"How about her private life? Do you know anything about that?"
Rose suddenly fell silent. She then looked at Aaron without blinking. "What do you really want to tell me, Aaron?"
"You really are a great reporter, Rose," Aaron answered quietly.
"Tell me, Aaron, actually you wanted to tell me something about Candice Skyriver, didn't you?"
Aaron nodded his head. "What you said was true. Candice did take shortcuts to get to where she is now. And the person who brought her to the top of her career was this stupid man named Aaron Sean Connery who was her fiancé."
The soft drink can in Rose's hand fell when she heard Aaron's words.
"S-so you are…"
"Yes, I am his ex-fiancé to be exact. After helping her to achieve all her wishes 5 years ago, Candice canceled our engagement unilaterally. She even returned the ring I gave by courier. Candice was dazzled by the glitter of the model world and left me. Actually, that was not the only reason. I know Candice didn't want her career to be ruined because she married me at that time, but the more important reason was that she wanted to be seen as an innocent, spotless model, who was still pure and didn't have any romantic affairs in her life to attract the sympathy of many people, and it made her even more popular among the many rich men who went crazy over her, and those men were much richer than me. Actually I didn't care about it. It's just that the way she dumped me at that time was really cruel, after I helped her and her whole family from bankruptcy, she just threw dirt at me," Aaron answered flatly, cutting off Rose's words.
"But why is there no news of your engagement at all?" asked Rose quickly.
"Because it was only an engagement between two families, Rose. At that time I was too naive. After my parents died, I never thought twice about the decisions I made, like when I wanted to be Candice's fiancé at that time. My sincere intentions towards Candice were apparently taken advantage of by her father, Felix Skyriver, so that I can help with all of his family's business. Because I felt that they would be my family, so I did whatever they wanted, so that their almost bankrupt business could bounce back. When Candice cancelled our engagement, Felix Skyriver shamelessly still wanted me to stay to support his business. I'm lucky to have Daniel. Although he is very talkative and annoying, but Daniel is very sincere to me, he takes care of Felix Skyriver, who is still trying to eye my money. Finally, I decided to withdraw all the money I had given him, so now his family business has failed. From the information I heard earlier, finally the family sold the family's hereditary business to support Candice's career in London. So as you well know, Candice is back at the peak of her popularity right now just like when I was backing her with all the money I had back then." Aaron told his dark past with Candice to Rose.
Rose covered her mouth. She couldn't believe that she would hear such things from Aaron. She didn't expect someone like Aaron to be taken advantage of.
"But why is she trying to get back to you now? Could it be that Candice Skyriver realized and…"
"She just wants my money, Rose, she just wants to be Mrs. Connery. She just wants to sit back and enjoy everything that I worked so hard to rebuild, after almost all my money was spent by her back then," Aaron said quickly cutting off Rose's words.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to open your old wound, Aaron. I was just surprised that she suddenly came and create such a scene," said Rose regretfully.
Aaron shook his head. "No, it's not your fault. I wanted to tell you, Rose, and about what I said earlier at the restaurant, I'm serious, Rose."
"What did you say at the restaurant?" asked Rose confused.
"Would you like to be a part of my life, Rose?"
