Aurora shut the door behind her, completely unaware of Tessaโs furious muttering downstairs. Not that it wouldโve matteredโshe couldnโt care less. Tessa was only acting this arrogant because their mother wasnโt home. Without anyone to answer her, Tessa sat fuming alone in the living room, her cheeks flushed with anger. She raised her hand, ready to sweep everything off the coffee table in a fit of rage when Grace walked through the front door. "Whatโs wrong, Tessa? Your face is all red. Are you feeling unwell?" No matter what her daughter had done at those business events, Grace couldnโt bring herself to stay mad. Tessa was still her child, the one sheโd doted on since she was little. Even if she was upset, she couldnโt truly be angry with her. Tessa was briefly caught off guard.She quickly pulled herself together and responded to her motherโs concern. "Iโm fine, Mom, really. Aurora just got back, and I was a little worried something mightโve happened to her out th

Aurora nodded as Grace spoke. "Alright, Mom. I understand." But Grace could tell she hadnโt really taken her words to heart. She couldnโt help but add, "This was your choice, Aurora. No one can walk it for you. "If itโs the path you chose, then you have to stick with it. What truly matters is the two of you are doing well." Aurora lowered her gaze. She understood exactly what her mother was getting at. It was just like the past when she chose to be with Joseph. "I get it, Mom. You should get some rest. Iโm an adult now." She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and looked at her mother, speaking clearly and steadily. "Donโt worry. I can handle a lot more than you think." Grace felt a flicker of comfort in her heart. "Thatโs good. Our little Rora really has grown up." Aurora froze for a moment when she heard that. It had been a long time since her mother had called her by her nickname, and she wasnโt quite used to it.Grace noticed the way her daughter paus

Now that sheโd come to terms with it, Tessa knew she couldnโt let things keep going smoothly for Aurora. She needed to start planning for her own future. Sitting nearby with a soft, pleasant smile, Tessa appeared to everyone else like the embodiment of warmth and grace.But to Aurora, it felt unsettling. That smile of Tessaโs reeked of falsehoodโshe was definitely up to something. Auroraโs eyes flickered with a trace of coldness, but she pushed down the feeling and stayed quiet. After breakfast, Grace and Aurora shared a car to the office. The ride was surprisingly pleasant, as if last nightโs tension had completely evaporated. Aurora liked this kind of peaceful interaction, and she didnโt have the heart to ruin the rare calm. Unfortunately, the moment didnโt last long, before she knew it, they had arrived. Each went to her own office and got to work. Aurora was already well-versed in most of the companyโs operations. The only thing left on her plate was evaluating

The manager looked a little puzzled. "Sort of. We do have quite a few conflicting projects with Walton Corporation, but donโt worry, Miss Shaws, we and Waltonโฆ"Before he could finish, Wendy cut him off. "I already know the rest. Just assign me to the projects that go head-to-head with Walton Corporation."The manager was stunned.To be honest, Walton Corporation was indeed a formidable competitor. On top of that, theyโd recently aligned themselves with Vanguard Group. Their standing in Ravenshore had surged dramatically."Miss Shaws, you havenโt been in the country much, so you might not be too familiar with Walton Corporation. Theyโre actually quite capable."Wendy replied with obvious displeasure, "So what? If they werenโt, Iโd find it boring. I want this project. You donโt need to worry about the rest."Here, Wendy was putting on her full heiress airs.The manager clenched his fists, recalling what the higher-ups had said. In the end, he nodded without realizing it. "Right, got

Aurora stood in front of the wardrobe, feeling a little awkward.Looking at Lucas like this, she wasnโt sure what she felt.Usually, he was cold and aloof, like someone untouchable.The only times his emotions ever surfaced around her were in bed.Other than that, he always appeared gentle, calm, and composed.This was the first time sheโd ever seen Lucas so helpless.Aurora couldnโt help but lower her voice. "Lucas, let go of me first.""No..."His head felt increasingly foggy, but he was still fully aware of what he was doing.With that thought, he tightened his arms around her.Only then did Aurora realize something wasnโt right.She pushed aside the confusing mess of emotions in her chest, turned around, and pressed her palm to his forehead. She gasped, "You're burning up! Are you running a fever? Did you take any medicine?"Lucas stubbornly clung to his need for an answer. "Donโt be mad at me, okay? Rora, I just want an answer. Nothing else matters.""How can it not matter!" Auro

When Joseph Hunt brought his first love to the birthday banquet, Aurora Walton knew she had lost.In the corner of the room, she glanced at the messages from her mother, Grace Williamson."Aurora, you lost.โ"Three years, and Joseph still doesnโt love you. As agreed, itโs time for you to come back and take responsibility."Out of the corner of her eye, Aurora looked at the girl in Josephโs arms.This was the first time she had seen Josephโs first love.She was pure, with a soft and gentle demeanor, quiet and serene. Even in cheap clothing, she stood out effortlessly.So, this was the type Joseph liked.A faint bitterness spread across Auroraโs lips.She suddenly remembered four years ago when a bold socialite flirted with Joseph and confessed her feelings. He lazily flicked his cigarette, his eyes holding a trace of detached amusement as he smirked, "Sorry, lady, I like girls who are quiet and ordinary."At the time, Aurora was secretly in love with Joseph for two years.However, Grac

Aurora didnโt linger in Westbridge for long. She only stayed in the city for Joseph, but now that she had graduated and he had someone else, there was no reason for her to remain. That night, she booked a flight home to Ravenshore. When she stepped off the plane, Megan Quinn was already waiting for her. "This time, are you staying for good?" "I am." For years, Aurora spent most of her time chasing after Joseph, rarely returning to Ravenshore. Her time with Megan had been scarce. But now that the bet was lost, she had no reason to leave again. Megan heard about what happened with Joseph and couldnโt help but sigh. Still, she only smiled and looped her arm through Auroraโs. "Forget the bad luck. Tonight, we celebrate."Aurora returned her smile and didnโt refuse. Megan took her to the most exclusive club in Ravenshore, ordered the finest drinks, and threw her a single-life party. One drink in, and the frustration Aurora had been carrying for years finally started t

Megan had always found her cousin a little intimidating. The moment she got into the car, she stayed quiet, not daring to say a word. Inside the vehicle, the silence felt oddly heavy. Auroraโs gaze drifted to the leather-wrapped rosary bracelet around Lucasโ wrist. There was something familiar about it, but with the alcohol clouding her mind, she couldnโt quite place it.Still, a hazy memory surfaced as she recalled the first time she had ever met him.Years had passed, yet he remained just as striking, his presence just as commanding. Meganโs house was close by. After dropping her off, Lucas continued driving, now heading to Auroraโs hotel. With just the two of them left in the car, his voice suddenly broke the silence, casual yet unreadable. "Planning to stay in Ravenshore?" "Yeah." Aurora hesitated for a moment before nodding. They werenโt particularly close, so after that brief exchange, the silence quickly returned. The air conditioning was on full blast, and

"This ungrateful brat!" The assistant beside him spoke up timidly, "Mr. Hunt, should we find a way to get the Mr. Joseph out?" "Of course!" Melvin looked furious, burning with shame. "At a time like this, what else can we do but get him out?" No matter how disgraceful his son was, once the news got out, it would be the Hunt familyโs reputation on the line. What would happen to Hunt Enterprisesโ stocks then? He couldnโt afford to take that risk. Seeing Melvinโs expression ease a little, the assistant finally breathed a sigh of relief and went off to find someone to figure out how to get Joseph out. Joseph was already in jail but still hadnโt fully processed what had happened. Aurora had really thrown him straight into jail like that? "Hey! Let go of me!" Joseph yelled at the officers. "Do you even know who I am? How dare you treat me like this!" One of the officers rolled his eyes. "I donโt care who you are. If youโve broken the law, youโre not getting away with it.

All it did was make Aurora feel like her past self had been unbelievably naive.But Joseph kept going, oblivious to her discomfort. "Those were our best memories. I still remember the first time you blushed, the way you looked in that white dressโso sweet and shy. โYou were always so gentle and soft when you were with meโฆ it was such a beautiful time."As he spoke, he watched her face closely, searching for some flicker of emotion.But to Aurora, hearing those words from him made her skin crawl.The more he went on, the more irritated she became. Her expression turned colder by the second.She reached for her phone, ready to call a ride. Staying here any longer felt like a direct assault on her intelligence.Joseph noticed the gesture. That was when it hit himโshe hadnโt been listening to a single word he said.And in that moment, he felt like a complete fool.He had poured out his heart, and yet this womanโthis ungrateful bitchโcould still be so heartless.His eyes darkened. He

Auroraโs anger ignited the second those words left his mouth.Without hesitation, she slapped Joseph hard across the face, her voice sharp and cold. "What the hell is wrong with you?"This is still Walton Corporation, and you think you can throw a fit right here? Whether I talk or not is none of your damn business. Try worrying about yourself."The slap caught Joseph completely off guard. Before he could react, Aurora had already snatched her phone back.He clutched his cheek, momentarily stunned, not even sure where to look.Rage overtook him. "You bitch! You actually hit me!"Aurora raised her chin defiantly. "So, what if I did? You brought it on yourself."Joseph couldnโt stand the smugness in her expression. Grinding his teeth, he snapped, "You think you can just cut me off like that? Itโs not gonna be that easy!"Aurora, we were together for three years. Donโt forget, Iโve seen everything. You're not afraid Iโll send it all out?"His threat made Aurora pause, eyes narrowing as s

After all, this was a choice, and a gamble, Aurora had made for herself.Even if she lost the bet, she knew she'd have to deal with the consequences on her own.She pulled out her phone, opened the ride-hailing app, and was just about to book a car when a voice laced with fury and bitterness cut through the air."Aurora Walton, youโre doing this on purpose, arenโt you?"The sudden sound startled her. She hadnโt even noticed someone standing nearby.Steadying herself, Aurora looked up, only to be met with Josephโs face, dark and twisted with resentment."Well, look whoโs changed careers," she said dryly, unable to resist the jab.Joseph blinked, caught off guard. "Whatโs that supposed to mean?""Nothing much. Just surprised to find a clown performing right outside my office," Aurora said casually. "Now move. Stop blocking my way."At that, Josephโs expression twisted. The fresh style heโd worked so hard on couldnโt hide the rage contorting his face. "What the hell does that mean? I ca
