Chapter 2858

Author: Love Berries
The truth was, Derek wasn't particularly comfortable around Grace anymore.

What if he said the wrong thing?

What if she took offense to something he said and turned against him?

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became.

Still, he had no choice but to go.

When a person's livelihood depended on someone else, pride wasn't much use.

Derek understood that better than anyone.

For now, the only thing that mattered was securing his position.

This wasn't the time to challenge Grace.

    Seeing how worried he looked, Aurora couldn't help smiling in exasperation."Don't worry. This has always been how my mother and I are with each other. Nothing's going to happen."So please, don't carry this around on your conscience, okay?"Aurora looked at the security guard with complete sincerity.She had never wanted anyone else to be caught in the middle of the conflict between her and her mother.The guard met her gentle gaze, and for some reason, it only made him more nervous."Ma'am, I just don't think it's fair to you. We can't choose the families we're born into, but we can choose the path we take from here."He licked his dry lips before speaking again, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness."I'm not trying to drive a wedge between you and your mother. I just think we all need to know our place, especially me. So whatever Mrs. Walton said about me... I can accept it. It doesn't bother me."As he spoke, his eyes remained fixed on Aurora.His sincerity made her feel a lit

    After Grace left, Arnold continued trying to persuade Aurora.He told her that no matter how badly a mother and daughter fought, they were still family, so there was no point keeping score over every hurt.Besides, Grace was only trying to secure some stability for the years ahead.Most people were selfish by nature.That was exactly why Arnold had chosen to speak up."Miss Aurora, I know you probably don't want to hear this, but if I don't say it, I'm afraid Madam Grace never will."Those words had left Aurora feeling conflicted."Arnold, what do you mean?"She was both curious and confused."Isn't my mother doing just fine? Is something wrong?"At that, Arnold let out a helpless sigh."I don't really know how to explain it, but you need to remember that Madam Grace hasn't had it easy. She paid a tremendous price to keep the Walton family afloat."Setting everything else aside, the Walton Corporation shareholders have been watching her like hawks. That's why she's been trying to secur

    "What brought you here, ma'am?"The security guard's voice was filled with surprise and disbelief.He had never imagined that an ordinary security guard like himself would end up caught in so much drama.Why did he deserve Aurora's protection?"I saw on the security cameras that my mother hadn't left, and I had a bad feeling something was wrong, so I came to check."Those words deeply moved the security guard.Grace, however, felt even more resentful."Aurora, what exactly are you trying to do? No matter what, I'm still your mother. So why do you always take a stranger's side instead of mine?"The anger on Grace's face was impossible to hide.She had never imagined that her own daughter would choose an outsider over her.She couldn't even get her daughter to do a simple favor for her.Yet Aurora was willing to shape her actions around how a complete stranger felt.Grace took a deep breath, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.Aurora, however, didn't think she'd do

    Just thinking about it made Arnold feel much more at ease.Seeing how happy he looked, Aurora could only shake her head with a smile.Sometimes she felt people were surprisingly easy to satisfy.At the very least, Arnold genuinely cared about her.Everything he did came from a place of concern for her well-being.Aurora took a deep breath.There were fewer and fewer people in this world who truly cared about her.That was exactly why she needed to cherish the people and moments she still had.After all, every day that passed was one day less she would ever get back.Meanwhile, outside the estate, Grace continued grumbling under her breath.She was deeply dissatisfied with the way Aurora had treated her.She was Aurora's biological mother.Was this really the treatment she deserved?It wasn't even a particularly difficult request.Yet Aurora still refused to help.The more Grace thought about it, the more agitated she became.At the gate, the security guard noticed the expression on her

    He had come to realize one thing.Aurora was far more sincere than Grace had ever been.Sometimes, relationships between people were strange like that.But some things weren't for him to decide.In the end, Arnold nodded with difficulty.He no longer wanted to say anything.Grace, meanwhile, snapped angrily, “Fine. You've really grown bold. You'd rather take an outsider's side than mine. I understand now, Aurora.“You'd better remember this. If you can't come to your senses and get Tessa out, then don't call me your mother ever again.”With that, Grace stormed away.Watching her leave, Arnold couldn't help feeling worried.“Miss Aurora, if Madam Grace leaves like this, do you think there could be trouble?”The moment he said it, regret immediately set in.“This is all my fault. I shouldn't have spoken up in the first place. If I had kept my mouth shut, Madam Grace probably wouldn't have gotten so angry.“Miss Aurora, maybe you should punish me. Sometimes I hate this mouth of mine too.

    Arnold said nothing further.But the hurt in his eyes was impossible to hide.He had spent so many years respecting and supporting Grace.Had she really become this cruel toward him?Arnold couldn't understand how things had come to this.Yet the reality was right in front of him.The moment Grace spoke those words, he knew the bond between them had been completely severed.Even so, there were still things he needed to say.“Madam Grace, no matter what you think of me, everything I said about Miss Aurora is true. I have no reason to lie to you or deceive you.“You always say Tessa is your daughter, but she's only your lover's child. Yet time and time again, you've pushed away your biological daughter for her.“Have you ever considered Miss Aurora's feelings? Don't you think what you've done is unfair?”Even after hearing that, Grace remained stubbornly unmoved.“How I choose to live my life is none of your business. And don't forget who you are. “You were nothing more than a housekeep

    “Sorry, miss. We have a lot of visitors every day, so I can’t really remember you. I hope you understand.”Yvonne fell silent.She had held her temper again and again, thinking she was already being restrained enough, yet these people were even more outrageous than she expected.It was obvious they

    “Shut up.”Sean was already in a foul mood.With Tessa bringing it up again and again, it only made him feel worse.In Sean’s mind, Grace would never betray him.He had always believed Grace stood on his side and would never fuss over such matters.Yet now, Grace had struck even harder.Her move lef

    Since she had brought her into this world, she also bore the responsibility to raise her.Now that Yvonne was in trouble, how could her parents not feel heartache?They wanted nothing more than to shoulder some of the burden for their child, rather than watch her suffer alone.“Yvonne,” Michelle sai

    So, she asked the question without thinking.She hadn’t expected the mother who once cherished her most to say something like that.Tessa’s voice trembled with sobs. “Mom, I really regret it. I’m truly sorry. Whatever you need to know, I’ll tell you everything. I really am sorry.”At that moment, Te
