Ashley made crocodile tears.I balled my fist tightly trying to control my fuming anger."You scumbag!"Aurora shrug her shoulders and exhaled loudly."Ashley, that's enough," Aurora said.Ashley steadily lets go of Aurora's arm and clicks her tongue with a sore expression."I know this must be a misunderstanding.
