Rian wasn't angry with Roxy.
He calmed her first when she started explaining then both sat and seriously discussed how they could be helpful to Alan and Aria without troubling them.
Before they could sleep, Rian decided Roxy would be helping out Aria and he would decide after discussing the complete matter with Aria and Alan.
Other than Alan, the other three didn't know two drones were shot to the ground they flew near the private villa.
Even though Alan had only bought small piece land near the lake for his villa, eventually over past years, Aria had convinced the owner of the land which was around the villa to sell it to her.
Alan had failed thrice to negotiate with that stubborn owner who was from country S. Then Aria had visited him many times and bought the land.
That owner initially used to get irritated whenever Aria visited but Aria's mannerisms and how she sweetly spoke to him, melted him.
Even though he was convinced to sell his land to her, he hadn't told to her so that she could continue visiting him.
It had become a routine for Aria to visit the old man to his office, help him at work, and convince him.
So the large portion near the lake completely belongs to them which became their private property and trespassing wasn't allowed.
So if anybody dares to enter, they would be taken care of by the cops and security. Another layer of security keeps note of things extra careful whenever Aria was around.

The next day Aria had to leave with Rian and Roxy to attend Curtis's birthday. Alan had to attend separately in the evening.
Rian first drove to Skyline to show as he was there to convince Aria to leave office, then Aria drove her car to the Cooper mansion with Roxy.
She was talking with Roxy and entered the mansion but,
'Pak'
Aria was slapped across the face which instantly made her regret for keeping her guards off thinking she was in her place.
Her eyes were bloodshot clenching her fist. Even though there was stinging pain on her cheek which was slowly swelling, she ignored it and stood straight.
She understood the meaning of, 'Happiness is short-lived.'
"You bitch, how dare you hit my sister?" Roxy and the lady started scuffling cursing each other.
Aria's eyes fell on mother and father with his son who was deeply frowning.
The maids weren't expecting that to happen out of anywhere. They were trying to hold the lady and Roxy but were stopped by Aria.
"Back off... Roxy, let her go."
Roxy didn't listen to Aria.
Roxy was about to smash the lady's head on the ground hearing her say,
"You shameless sluts, After coveting rich men, stop acting mighty. You guys used your body well. Cunning foxes..."
Aria saw the man trying to hold Roxy who was dominating so Aria didn't think twice to take action.
'Swoosh'
Aria moved like the wind and her hand was like a knife hitting the nerve on the shoulder which numbed the man's hand.
"Arrie" Calvin grunted holding in the pain.
His eyes were bloodshot understanding Aria was no more a helpless girl because he needed time to get life back to his arm.
The movement of the distraction hearing Calvin resulted in Roxy to lose.
Kite flung her hand decisively on her face pinning her down.
Roxy's hands were under Kite who was sitting on her. So she could only shut her eyes tightly waiting to feel the pain.
One second...
Two seconds...
Three seconds...
But the stinging pain she was expecting didn't come at all.
She opened her eyes and was so shocked that she forgot to breathe.
Roxy realized Aria wasn't kidding when she said she learned quite a few kills.
She got really scared of seeing Aria. It wasn't only her, Sophia, the maids and the other three were so staggered that they couldn't react.
After fainting Kite Parker, Aria held her arm as she dragged her away from Roxy and sat on the armchair leaving Kite on the floor.
Roxy shook her head and tried to remember what Aria did a few seconds back without getting up from the floor.
Aria's face was so dark that it made her spine shiver. Her hand held the Kite's hand and moved accurately to right spots sharply without leaving a second gap for Kite to scream.
At last, she hit on Kite's nape and dragged her away from Roxy.
Roxy came out of her daze when Sophia helped her off the floor.
"Arrie, you never use any techniques and strength to beat Rian. Isn't it?" She was really proud of Aria.
Aria didn't react.
Saira and Abel unknowingly trembled continuously.
They couldn't take their eyes away from Aria even if they wanted. It was like, if they blink, Aria would take them down in that split second.
Calvin kept looking at her dark eyes which was telling them that they messed with the wrong person.
He could say she was highly influenced by a person who was terrific.
She wasn't doing a cakewalk in the past five years.
He could say that was not her real self but she was ready to protect herself and her people who tried to meddle with her.
She was just a young girl out there but she looked like she didn't belong to them and was ready to destroy anything she finds dangerous.
If Aria was on guard, Kite would be crying her eyes out with the dislocated arm but she was successful in slapping Aria. So she was laying on the ground without consciousness.
Aria wasn't suited for physical fights hence Finn had taught her human anatomy and the pressure points.
Vince had taught her to control people psychologically rather than physically.
Alan always took care of her mental ability and celerity.
She wasn't born as a genius, It was her years of extreme training.
Sophia patted Roxy and went to Aria, "Young miss, let maids take care of them."
Aria calmed a little facing Sophia, "Aunty Sophia, It's time that they should know I'm not an easy target else they will think they could hurt me whenever they want. Tina..."
A maid quickly went to her and bowed her respectfully. "Young miss?"
Aria asked, "Did they do or say anything to Aunty Sophia or you guys?"
Tina promptly replied, "Young miss, only Ms.Parker was shouting on us while others waited for your arrival."
Aria nodded, "Check if Roxy bruised and treat her."
"But young miss, your..." Sophia saw her swollen cheek and her right hand turning red but she stopped saying looking at her gaze.
Sophia nodded and sent Tina to check on Roxy.
Sophia understood that Aria had techniques but she was still delicate hence her body couldn't handle. Yet she was sitting as if she wasn't in pain.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Aria knew her strength and weakness but she never showed it so easily.
