And he set up financial leverage and debt traps for the Gibson Group, causing the external stock price of the Gibson Group to plummet and internal upper–level turmoil.
He never told Ariana about any of this, not wanting to put pressure on her.
He hoped that Ariana could do anything freely, including facing her feelings for him freely.
If she wanted to seek refuge behind him, he would shield her from the wind and rain and charge into battle for her.
If she wanted to take revenge with her own hands, he handed her the
knife.
The more you love, the more careful you are.
Zaiden also didn’t know why he loved Ariana so much, to the point where he often feared that he was showing too much passion and scaring Ariana.
Perhaps it was the first time when he was by the sea, inadvertently saving Ariana who was jumping into the water, the look in her eyes when she looked at him.
Perhaps it was also the first thing Ariana saw when she woke up, her black and white clear eyes.
Or perhaps it was Ariana’s complete reliance and trust in him after she lost her memory.
The feelings and fate between people really cannot be described in words.

During the short three months abroad, so much happened between them.
These things even surpassed the twenty–eight years before him.
When Eric lay in the hospital on the brink of life and death, Ariana went to see him for a moment.
In the VIP ward, Eric was covered in various medical devices and was under the 24–hour care of the top doctors.
Through the glass door, Eric lay quietly, his handsome brows no longer furrowed as they used to be, now calm and peaceful.
Ariana suddenly remembered Eric’s words from a long time ago.
“I swear to God, if I betray Ariana, let me be hit by a car when I step out the door…”
The vows made in the past have finally come true.
Is this not another way of getting what one wants?
Leaving the hospital, New York in early autumn gradually became chilly, with a light drizzle falling.
Standing under the eaves, Ariana hugged her arms and felt a little cold.
She looked up.
Not far away, a familiar black Lincoln was parked.
Zaiden leaned against the car door, the sharp contours of his profile hidden under the umbrella, rolling up the cuffs of his black shirt to reveal the tense blue veins.
Noble and imposing, it immediately caught everyone’s attention from afar.

When Zaiden saw Ariana, his stern and cold face suddenly softened, as if a gentle breeze had brushed over an iceberg.
He walked up with an umbrella and covered Ariana’s head with it.
“I came to pick you up and take you home.”
Someone came here without asking why.
Another one didn’t ask you how you knew I would be here.
The two of them seemed to have a natural tacit understanding, familiar with each other’s souls without saying a word.
Ariana took Zaiden’s arm willingly.
“Okay.”
At that moment, Ariana felt a warmth in her heart that was hard to put into words.
Like a traveler returning home on a snowy night, he encountered the guiding light on his way back.
It was as if they were meant to be like this.
Eric was eventually saved.
The driver’s side airbag deployed and blocked the deadliest blow for him.
At his moment of life and death, the Gibson family experienced a major
event.
The Gibson family’s Howard, who could not survive for more than three months, was already hanging on by a thread.
Upon hearing about Eric’s accident, I was so shocked that I couldn’t catch

Before leaving, he ultimately didn’t get to hug his beloved grandson.
Two months later, Eric came out of the hospital and realized that the weather had changed.
