" Heir ? " Kenton sneered . " Do you know that Marisa's pregnancy report was fake ? You drove Ariella away for a fake bloodline ?! " " Besides , it was because I cared about her that I didn't let her have the baby ! " Keith and Joanna were stunned , clearly not expecting this . " You never believed Ariella . There was a kind of near - desperate exhaustion in Kenton's voice . He looked at his mother , his heart gripped by an invisible hand . " She took the money ? " Joanna nodded . " How much ? " " 2,000,000,000 . She also signed the divorce agreement . " These words were like a dull knife , slowly cutting through Kenton's sanity . Details he had overlooked now pricked at his heart like needles . " Where did she go ? " He stared at Keith and Joanna , his voice trembling slightly from the effort to suppress it . " You let her leave , but didn't she say where she was going ? " Keith and Joanna exchanged a glance and both shook their heads . Joanna's voice dropped , " She didn't say ... only that she wouldn't bother you again . " Kenton suddenly turned around and punched the nearby column . He pulled out his phone and booked the earliest flight home , grabbed his coat , and rushed out without even glancing at Keith and Joanna . As the plane flew through the clouds , Kenton's heart churned like the rolling sea of clouds . For the first time , he felt this city was so unfamiliar 06:15 Chapter 19 288 Vouchers Just a few days ago , he had told her to wait for his return . But now , she was gone . He realized why he hadn't received any messages from her - it turned out she had already left . A dull ache throbbed in his heart . By the time he returned to the villa they had shared , it was already late at night . The moment he opened the door , he instinctively called out , " Ariella , " but only the empty echo answered him . The entire villa had been designed by her own hands , and it seemed she hadn't taken much with her . Everything was just as it had been when he left , yet everywhere was filled with the dead silence of her absence . In the days that followed , Kenton searched for Ariella like a madman . He went to her company , but her colleagues said she had already submitted her resignation . He went to her favorite café , but the owner said he hadn't seen her in a long time either . He even went to her parents ' house , only to find it had long been deserted . Friends took turns trying to comfort him . Sitting in the empty living room , someone cautiously said , " Kenton , don't be too anxious ... at least ... Marisa is still here ... " That sentence touched Kenton's raw nerve , and his anger flared instantly . He suddenly stood up and grabbed that person's collar . " Don't mention her to me ! " His voice was hoarse and harsh . " If anything happens to Ariella , none of you will have a good time ! " His friends were so intimidated by his outburst that they didn't dare say another word . After his friends left , Kenton sat on the sofa , clutching a photo from the wallet's inner pocket . In the photo , Ariella was smiling with her eyes curved , feeding him cake , with cream smeared all over his face . It was taken on their third anniversary together , and it had also been his phone's wallpaper . But later , he changed it to Marisa . 06:15 Chapter 19 1288 Vouchers Because she kept asking , and at the time , considering the child , he changed it . Ariella saw it , but she didn't seem to mind . The streetlights outside shone through the gap in the curtains , casting mottled shadows on the floor . He just sat there from dusk till dawn , the ashtray overflowing with cigarette butts , without the slightest hint of sleepiness . In the days without any news of Ariella , insomnia became the norm . That early morning , he finally succumbed to exhaustion and fell asleep on the sofa . In his dream , he returned to the time when they had just gotten together . It was a rainy day . He was stranded at the entrance of a café without an umbrella . Ariella ran over holding an umbrella , smiling as she said , " Kenton , let me walk you home ? " It was the first time anyone had offered to walk him home . So he agreed , but secretly told Scott to drive the car away . He wanted to grab her hand , but her figure grew farther and farther away , no matter how hard he chased , he couldn't catch up . " Ariella ! " He woke up with a start , his heart pounding wildly . Dawn was breaking , and the cold air clung to the glass , condensing into a layer of white mist He stared blankly for a few seconds before realizing it had just been a dream . It felt as if he had truly lost her . He stood by the railing , gazing at the empty river , and tears fell without warning . He thought of all the good Ariella had done for him , and the guilt in his heart became impossible to hide . All the tenderness he had once overlooked , all the efforts he had taken for granted , now surged over him like a tide , almost drowning him . " Ariella ...
