Chapter 26

ARIA'S POV

I stood there, looking very surprised to see Evelyn come to my defense with so much anger, but I was truly grateful for her words.

Evelyn had indeed been a close friend of mine as we were both studying under the same design teacher.

What the world didn't know was that before I left my pack and married Dante, I had possessed an extraordinary talent for designing jewelry.

It was actually I who had been blessed by the Moon Goddess, not Evelyn. But I had chosen to keep my identity hidden, letting Evelyn to bask in the spotlight while I worked in the shadows.

Evelyn had learned almost everything from me. Not to brag, but I was literally the best.

Our relationship had grown from that of mentor and student to a deep, lasting friendship. And now, here she was, fiercely defending me with all her might.
