I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 520 - Regret

After arriving in London, Aaron went straight to the office with Rose who didn't want to go home alone. Aaron couldn't help but allow Rose to come with him to the office. Arriving at Aaron's office, he was again surprised by the number of police and journalists' cars from various media already lined up neatly in front of his office.

"You've finally arrived, sir," said Daniel hoarsely.

"What happened?" Aaron asked in a rising voice. He didn't like seeing so many officers in his office.

Daniel looked at Aaron a little scared. "Candice Skyriver. She had a fight with a woman on the rooftop. Both are currently injured because they were both hit by broken bottles."

"Candice! She hasn't given up yet." Aaron growled in annoyance.

Rose immediately stroked Aaron's chest to calm her fiancé and what Rose did worked, Aaron looked calmer.

While talking to the police officer who had been waiting for Aaron's arrival, Felix Skyriver suddenly came up to Aaron, the man looked very confused. When he almost got in front of Aaron, suddenly the arrogant man knelt in front of Aaron and provoked the reporters who were still there.

"Please forgive my daughter. I know you're angry with her, Aaron. But please forgive her. Things are not always smooth in a romantic relationship. That's why I, as her father, have come to apologize on her behalf. I don't want this problem to affect your relationship in the future. Trust me, Candice is very loyal to you, Aaron, what she did was just to defend herself," said Felix Skyriver at length.

Daniel and Rose seemed surprised to hear Felix's words as he knelt in front of Aaron, while Aaron was silent and looked very calm. The reporters who were there immediately took lots of pictures and did a live broadcast for their offices. Felix Skyriver's apology on behalf of his daughter to Aaron Sean Connery was a big news. With this apology from Felix Skyriver, it confirmed that Aaron Sean Connery was still in a relationship with Candice Skyriver, his ex-girlfriend who broke up a few years ago.

Hearing the whispers of the reporters made Rose uncomfortable, she was like a third person in the relationships at the moment. She intended to leave, but Aaron's grip on her hand was getting stronger, so that Rose couldn't go anywhere. Because Aaron didn't respond to Felix Skyriver's words, the reporters began to bombard him with questions, making the atmosphere even more chaotic, until finally Aaron raised one hand up to ask the reporters to calm down.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Felix Skyriver, first, I have to straighten things out. First, your daughter Candice Skyriver and I don't have any relationship, so you don't have to apologize to me like that. Second, I'm already engaged, please respect my fiancé, Lily- Rose Joseph. She is the daughter of Portugal's Defense Minister, who is very dear to me. So please don't say anything like this in front of the journalists, because I reiterate once again that I have nothing to do with your daughter. Regarding what Candice did in my office, it was her business with the authorities, so I have no connection whatsoever in this case. And for all my fellow journalists, I want to emphasize to all of you that I, Aaron Sean Connery, am already engaged, and my fiancé is this perfect woman, Lily-Rose Joseph," Aaron said loudly as he wrapped his arms around Rose's waist possessively.

Dozens of cameras immediately shot Aaron and Rose, who were standing affectionately, even now Rose was showing her engagement ring with Aaron to the reporters. Instantly, Felix Skyriver's face turned pale. The man looked very embarrassed at this time. His plan to get Aaron to admit Candice Skyriver as his girlfriend was shattered instantly. His presence was ignored by the reporters. Because he was kicked by reporters several times, Felix finally got up from the floor and walked away from the place in embarrassment. Some people who saw him go seemed to cheer him for making hoax news.

Immediately, the news about Candice Skyriver causing a riot on the rooftop of the Connery Corporation disappeared, and was replaced with the news of the engagement of the CEO of Connery Corporation with the daughter of the Portuguese Minister of Defense. The name Lily-Rose Joseph was immediately at the top of the first search for various sites, and her photo with Aaron immediately appeared on the internet.

"Aarrgghh…! No, no way. Aaron can't be in a relationship with that girl, Aaron is mine! He's my boyfriend, Aaron can't be dating another girl!" Candice screamed hysterically when she saw the news on the television in her treatment room.

"Honey, calm down, dear, you're hurt, child. You need to rest and..."

"No, Mom, I have to see Aaron. I want to talk to him directly, I'm sure Aaron was just joking. I'm sure Aaron is lying, I'm sure he is, Mom." Candice interrupted her mother's words loudly.

Candice then tried to forcefully pull the IV that was attached to her hand. But her mother quickly pushed her back to stay in bed, but the panicked Candice immediately struggled. She tried to fight her mother until finally a slap landed on Candice's cheek. The impatient Monica Skyriver finally put her hand on her beloved daughter's face.

"Mom...!"

Monica Skyriver looked at her daughter with a look full of anger. "You're a woman, Candice, where is your pride? Aaron doesn't want you anymore, when will you realize that?"

Candice held her hot cheek. "I only love Aaron, Mom. Don't you know that? Aaron is the only man I love. I wouldn't marry other than with Aaron."

"Well, then don't get married!!" Monica Skyriver rebuked loudly and surprised Candice. She didn't expect her very self-indulgent mother to say that to her.

"Being a woman is an advantage for us, but if you lower yourself like that to get just one man then you are very, very stupid, Candice. You are beautiful, famous, you are a model. There are many men out there who like you, who are more handsome and richer than Aaron. Don't you know that?" Monica Skyriver spoke again loudly. She really couldn't stand the attitude of her daughter who was still chasing Aaron.

Candice didn't say anything while her mother spoke. She was stunned and still pursed her lips. Even until her mother left the treatment room, Candice was still in her position. Only her tears showed how devastated and sad she was right now.

"If only I didn't follow what you taught me, maybe Aaron and I are fine now, if only I wasn't influenced by your greed, Mom and Dad, I might have been happy with Aaron now... sob... this is your fault, your fault! I hate you, I hate you both... you're evil ...!"

Candice's cries sounded so loud that even Monica, who was standing at the door, could still hear her daughter's cries. Monica Skyriver's heart was broken when she saw the condition of her daughter at the moment. She immediately regretted her first decision to ask Candice to find a richer man in America and leave Aaron. She regretted her very selfish stupidity.
