CHAPTER 134

ARIA’S POV

As I step into the courthouse’s waiting area, my gaze locks onto Brad and Jared.Of course, I pay them no attention.

Suddenly, Brad comes at me in a very pleading manner. I am really appalled at his abrupt change in behavior, wondering what has gotten into him.

“Please, Miss Aria.. Please, take back the case.”

Did I hear that right? Is Brad really begging me and speaking to me with respect? It's hard to believe after everything that's happened. He is literally crawling at my feet just like Sophia.

“I didn’t know you were Neal Jackson’s sister, else I wouldn’t have misbehaved with you.”

Wow! Really? His words ignite a fiery rage within me. He is begging me because he has found out that I am not bluffing; I am Neal Jackson’s sister.

“So, if I wasn’t Neal’s sister then you would have found it fair to assault me?”

I confront him, recounting in vivid detail the lives he has shattered and the deep trauma he has inflicted upon those women. I remind him what he would have done to me
