LOGINShe wasn’t someone without a conscience.She was a person who genuinely felt things.Megan knew very well how her mother treated her.How could she possibly be heartless?Besides, Megan didn’t think of herself as that kind of person either.If Eleanor truly cared about her, how could she feel nothing?She knew she wasn’t made of stone.She could still tell who treated her well and who didn’t.Take today, for example. Even Megan herself had been shocked by what her mother did.Eleanor’s heart wasn’t unmoved either.Feeling her daughter’s arm looped through hers, waves of emotion rippled through her chest.Eleanor couldn’t help lowering her head to look at Megan’s hand, her eyes warming.How she wished she could be like other mothers—able to be closer to her child, to show affection more freely.Megan wasn’t willing to be that close to her parents.So, at times, Eleanor had no way of fulfilling that small wish.Yet now, just because she had said a few words, her daughter had already chan
She hadn’t expected her mother to follow her all this way.And running into Eleanor so suddenly made Megan feel inexplicably awkward.“I thought I’d come take a look at you.”Eleanor still didn’t say outright that she had come to apologize to Aurora.In her heart, she knew that if she wanted to ease things with her daughter, the key person was Aurora.That was exactly why she couldn’t understand what her husband had been thinking.Aurora had been nothing but kind to their family, yet he not only refused to appreciate it, he even said such hurtful things to her.Aurora had never harbored any ulterior motives toward their family.All she wanted was to have a better relationship with Megan.Eleanor could see it clearly.Aurora had always been trying, in her own way, to improve the relationship between Megan and her parents, or at least ease it a little.But Robert refused to accept that.Just thinking about it made Eleanor feel deeply uncomfortable.Still, that was the man she had spent h
As for the rest, Aurora was content to leave it to others.She didn’t take Robert’s attitude to heart either.That was his issue. As long as she felt she hadn’t wronged Megan, that was enough.After all, she wasn’t going to live with Megan’s parents in the future.Most of the time, she would still be with Megan.Beyond that, her contact with the Quinn parents would be minimal.So, for Aurora, maintaining a good relationship with Megan was all that mattered.There was no need to think too much about anything else.Thinking about it now would only affect her mood.More importantly, she and Megan wouldn’t let these matters affect their bond.So why bother dwelling on things that might not even amount to anything?In Aurora’s eyes, it simply wasn’t necessary.“You’re right. Let’s wait and see what my mom wants to say when she comes in.”Megan paced back and forth, an inexplicable worry creeping in.The next moment, she asked, “By the way, did my dad come too?”When she said this, she was q
But with Aurora, things were different, especially with how quickly Aaron’s attitude had changed.Megan could feel it clearly.Back at the police station, Aaron had been extremely arrogant.It was also because of something Aaron said—questioning whether Megan might be violent and could hurt someone—that the police ended up putting handcuffs on her.That alone showed how clearly the people at the station had been siding with Aaron.But after Aurora showed up, everything changed.Even Aaron’s attitude toward Megan shifted.Megan wasn’t stupid.There was no way she wouldn’t notice something like that.So naturally, she hoped her parents would treat Aurora better.After all, it was Aurora who had gotten her out and spared the family a great deal of trouble.Yet instead of being grateful, her parents didn’t appreciate it at all.Worse still, her father had said something so rude.What Megan had become had nothing to do with Aurora, so how could the blame be pushed onto her?Sometimes, Megan
But her father was different.He had always been strong-willed and never discussed anything with her.So, in Megan’s eyes, there were things her father handled far worse than Aurora ever did.At the very least, Aurora was always sincere with her, never deceiving her in some inexplicable way like her father did.If he couldn’t even be genuine with her friends, how could he possibly be genuine with her?Thinking about it left Megan feeling dejected.Still, he was her father.As a child, she couldn’t openly criticize an elder.If she really clashed with him, people outside would inevitably say she was disrespectful to her father.If such talk spread, it would also reflect poorly on the company.She had already caused enough trouble for the family.Going forward, she didn’t want to create any more.All she wanted now was to stay by Aurora’s side and quietly enrich her own inner world.Seeing the downcast look on Megan’s face, Aurora knew exactly what she was thinking.But this was somethin
This was practically creating an opportunity for the two of them.“Aurora, you’re really the best. You’re the one I like staying with.”Megan’s tone carried obvious flattery.Aurora was just about to speak when she caught sight of Lucas’ dejected back.She had just finished appeasing one, and now she had to go appease the other?At this moment, Aurora felt like a kindergarten teacher.Going back and forth between Megan and Lucas, she felt utterly worn out.Aurora didn’t deal with Lucas first. Instead, she took Megan to the guest room.No matter what, she needed to settle Megan in first—guests came first, and Aurora understood that principle very well.Precisely because she understood it so clearly, even when facing Megan, she couldn’t lose her sense of boundaries.No matter who it was, the same rules applied.“Come on, I’ll take you to the guest room first.”Aurora said to Megan with a smile.Seeing this, Megan felt delighted.From childhood to now, she had always been afraid of Lucas.
"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 new
Aurora turned her gaze away. "Don’t you know exactly what I mean? You’re even living with her now, and you still say you don’t know?"Men really were all the same, no matter who they were. Even at a time like this, he was still pretending not to get it.Lucas finally realized that Aurora was talki
Aurora's eyes widened slightly. Now she understood why Tessa had insisted they all take a glass of wine. This wasn’t about making peace—it was just the opening move. The entire front of Lucas’ chest was soaked. With a loud clatter, the tray hit the floor. "I'm so sorry, sir! I didn’t mean to
Aurora’s 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 you
