Aurora a walked to the side and slipped back into her high heel. She didn’t even nce at the women writhing in pain on the floor.
With a captivating air, she walked across the threshold toward Yette. She immediately shed her a charming smile, “Hi there, youngdy. Thanks for helping out. What’s your name?”
Yvette pulled back her bent legs, raised an eyebrow, and nodded casually. “Yvette.”
Aurora found Yvette delightful no matter how she looked at her, “Youngdy, let me treat you to some coffee. Not here, though. I know a better ce that you’ll definitely like.”
Yvette lowered her eyes a bit. Her demeanor was always cool andposed. When she heard such a clichéd line as if enticing a child, she just nodded calmly. “Alright. When she heard such a clichéd line as if enticing a child, she just nodded calmly.
Aurora immediately smiled even more cheerfully. She loved girls who were so straightforward Unlike those pretentious and overly cautious elitedies from Betrico who would politely turn down such an offer, which would be so dull. Even if it was the norm, they definitely wouldn’t be on the same wavelength as her.
“Great. Oh right. I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’m Aurora. I run apany that does a little bit of everything. After saying this, Aurora tilted her head slightly.
She looked at Lucy as if she had just noticed her. Suddenly, as if something urred to her, she asked with uncertainty. “Are you Lucy, the CEO of Fast Pulse Technologies?”
Lucy was on the verge of tears. Sure enough, being next to Yvette made her feel invisible. She and Yvette had been standing here for a while, and only now did Aurora notice her.
She thought, ‘Oh, what a pity! After all, I’m a stunning girl with smooth skin, long legs, and a gorgeous look. The rumors are true. Aurora is totally obsessed with good looks. Is it just because I’m slightly less beautiful than Yvette that I’m sopletely ignored? It’s so annoying
But she could totally admire Yvette, yet she absolutely couldn’t ept losing a beauty contest to anyone else.
Lucy nodded. “Hello, Aurora, I’m Lucy”
After Aurora finished speaking, she might have felt a bit embarrassed too, so she extended an invitation to Lucy. “Would you like to join us?”
Lucy instantly realized how “sincere Aurora’s invitation actually was. She definitely wasn’t going to bother with that. So she politely declined Aurora’s offer.
Aurora didn’t seem the least bit upset about being rejected. In fact, she seemed even happier.
Lucy noted that having her heart broken was something she had be used to. Lucy assumed everything had been taken care of, as she clearly understood those women wouldn’t dare mess with Aurora, even if they had the nerve. So, she said goodbye to Yvette first. She’d already knew that Yvette was in Seacrity. If Yvette didn’te to Betrico, she could always go to Seacrity,
After Lucy left, Aurora was just about to leave with Yvette to grab some coffee when Eleanore, who had fainted earlier, came, to on the ground and saw the two standing in front of her. Remembering what happened before she passed out, she quickly touched her head. But this touch shocked her as she ended up grabbing a handful of her hair, Eleanore screamed wildly, and it sounded utterly miserable. The sound was chilling-
Yvette and Aurora both looked at her.
Eleanore seemed shocked, but she still retained a bit of sanity. She dare not to beat Aurora. But she didn’t know Yvette. This meant she was not from the elite in Betrico, so it was no big deal. Since that was the case, she was determined to vent her anger.
Eleanore stood up with the aid of a few otherdies, not daring to look at Aurora. But they all red ominously at Yvette
Eleanore spoke, her voice trembling. “You silly girl, this isn’t over yet. We won’t let you get away with it.”
Hearing this, Aurora quickly turned and stood in front of Yvette. Her expression was cold. “Do you have any shame? Trying to bully a little girl without even considering what 1, Aurora, think? If you have the nerve,e at me. What kind of bullies target a little girl”
Eleanore was even more furious seeing how Aurora defended Yene. Today’s humiliation was too much for her to bear. If she couldn’t even deal with an ordinary girl, it would bepletely shameful. She couldn’t believe Aurora would really jeopardize her reputation to protect her no matter what.
The otherdies with Eleanore weren’t in nearly as bad a situation as she was. So when they heard this, none of them reacted as strongly as Eleanore did. They collectively shrunk back. They genuinely couldn’t afford to provoke that Aurora.
Eleanore gritted her teeth and said to Aurora, enduring the intense pain in her scalp. “Mrs. Chavez, you’re going too far. You’ve hit us, and we’ve let it slide. But why should we forgive this girl? Step aside. It’s none of your business. The one we want to deal with is her.”
The other wealthydies nodded in agreement. They were all influential figures in Betrico, and if they didn’t find a scapegoat to handle this, they would be able to maintain their reputation.
Fleanore thought she’dpromised, and Aurora should understand what was appropriate.
But Aurora just gave them a cold nce. She observed the women who were aggressively confronting Yvette. Her temper red up again. Maybe she hadn’t been forceful enough earlier. That was why these women were still here, chattering away.
Aurora wondered if she needed to fully embrace violence, subdue them by force. “Didn’t you understand? I’ll tell you again. I’m protecting this person, so bring your issues to me.”
Just as the standoff continued with no one speaking, the sound of police sirens suddenly came from outside the dessert shop..
Yvette lifted her eyes and nced calmly at the woman across from her. She noticed one of them, a woman in a cheongsamt, smiled slightly when she heard the sirens.
Though the smile was brief, Yvette saw it very clearly.
Eleanore was also taken aback. Her expression was somewhatical. She wondered, Who called the police? If this blows up, what good will it do us? Especially with how protective the Chavez family is? s
Aurora wasn’t worried at all by the sound of police sirens. If she had to make a trip to the police station, she’d just consider it a little excursion.
She had gone to the police station once when she was younger for bravely hitting a sleazy guy harassing a girl with a brick. She never thought she’d have another chance to experience it.
Worried that Yvette might be scared, Aurora quickly shifted and reassured her, “Yvette, don’t be afraid. I will protect you Let’s just act like we’re having fun at the police station for a while, okay? Give me a moment. I’ll call my husband to get us
out.
Yvette looked up. noticing the worry in Aurora’s eyes and hesitated for a moment. She nodded obediently and said, “Okay”
Aurora patted her shoulder, exuding the air of a big sister. She nced at the people in front of her, snorted coldly, and said, “When we get to the police station, let’s talk it out and see why we’re here, okay? Don’t say I bullied you. You better call your husbands over.”
Eleanore and the otherdies heard this and, seeing the look of fear on each other’s faces, were quite scared. If their husbands found out they had offended the Chavez family, they might be in serious trouble.
Eleanore, enduring the headache, tried to say a couple of good words to Aurora, “Mrs. Chavez, let’s just call it off, okay? We won’t go to the police station. You’ve already let out your anger on us, haven’t you? Let’s just pretend this never happened. alright?”C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.
Aurora disliked Eleanore the most for her constant gossiping and criticizing others. She didn’t care about the frightened look on Eleanore’s face across from her. She took out her phone and dialed number one, which was Clifford’s exclusive contact.
As soon as the call went through, Aurora’s demeanor changed immediately. Her first words left the woman across from herpletely bewildered.
The fierce tigress turned into a harmless kitten with just one phone call. “Honey, I was bullied. I’m so scared. My hand hurts”
