Chapter 297

Author: Love Berries
She hadn’t expected him to simply hold her and do nothing else.

And yet, that was all he did.

He just held her quietly.

For some reason, Aurora felt an odd sense of disappointment.

She shook her head, trying to banish the ridiculous thought. What was she even thinking?

When she woke again, he was still asleep beside her.

His eyes were closed, his face peaceful. The usual sharpness he wore during the day was gone, replaced by a rare softness that made his features seem even more striking.

    "Do you really take the Carter family for fools?" Philip snapped. "Did you honestly think we'd swallow that nonsense after hearing a few empty promises?"He let out a cold laugh."Don't you realize how ridiculous that sounds? If I let you leave the country, do you really think you'd ever come back? Or, better yet, do you think you'd remember the harm your daughter has done to my granddaughter-in-law?""W-Well..."Charles opened his mouth, then closed it again.He had no answer.He knew Philip would be angry.What he hadn't expected was how fiercely Philip would stand up for Aurora."Mr. Carter Sr., please don't be upset. I promise I'll give you a satisfactory explanation."Charles did his best to calm him down.But nothing he said made the slightest difference.Seeing how furious Philip remained, Michelle realized she'd made a serious mistake.To be honest, she'd only wanted to placate him long enough for them to get back overseas.Once they were safely out of the country, everything e

    They'd barely made it to the front door before the Carters blocked their way."What an unfortunate coincidence," Charles said with a strained smile."Oh, enough with the excuses," Philip cut him off. "Let's talk about how we're going to settle this. This isn't just your family's problem anymore. It's a matter between our two families."His expression turned steely."More importantly, Aurora is a member of the Carter family now. There's no chance we're letting this slide."The moment those words left his mouth, the atmosphere changed.Philip's commanding presence became almost overwhelming.Charles and Michelle would have been lying if they claimed they weren't afraid.They both knew the Carter family held far more power than they ever could.If things truly came to a head, they stood no chance."So, what exactly do you want?" Charles asked.He genuinely couldn't figure out what the Carters were after.Michelle had already offered a solution, yet they'd rejected it outright.If that was

    Charles wore an almost reverent smile, as though he hadn't been calling Philip an old bastard in his head just moments ago."Enough of the act," Philip said flatly."I've spent my whole life dealing with people like you. Don't think I can't tell what you're really thinking. Every wrinkle on your face screams insincerity. We're here today to settle the score for what your precious daughter did."Charles and Michelle exchanged a glance.Their hearts sank.Michelle, especially, knew there was no hiding the truth anymore.When she spoke again, her voice was already trembling."Mr. Carter Sr., our daughter just made a terrible mistake. Please, be the bigger person and don't hold it against her."I promise we'll discipline her properly from now on. We won't let her do anything to hurt Miss Walton again. We'll take her overseas, and I swear she won't trouble your family anymore."Diana immediately frowned."Only another woman would catch what you're trying to do here." Her voice turned sharp

    Yvonne had already begun tarnishing Aurora's reputation.There was no way Diana could tolerate that.Besides, if they let this slide once, there would be a second time.The only way to solve the problem was to stop it before it went any further.By the time the Carter family arrived, Yvonne's parents were already in a state of panic.Michelle clutched Charles' arm, her eyes filled with fear."What do we do? The Carters are definitely coming after us. They've already sent us the video."If they find out our daughter really did something this awful... who knows what they'll do next?"Charles's face drained of color.He nearly fainted before finally speaking in a trembling voice."Take a guess. Who do you think sent us that video?""You mean..."Michelle hesitated, but deep down she already knew the answer.After all, she couldn't think of anyone besides Lucas who would do something like this.Charles gave a resigned nod."Who else could it have been? It had to be Lucas. He's protecting A

    Now that they knew exactly who their target was, there was no reason to hesitate.Before long, the full video was sent to Lucas' parents as well as Yvonne's.The moment both families watched it, they were furious.Edward slammed a hand on the table."This is outrageous! Just what do they think our daughter-in-law is?""Exactly," Diana agreed. "Aurora is the daughter-in-law our family chose. Since when does anyone else have the right to judge or bully her?"She looked at her husband and added, "You know, I used to like Yvonne when she was younger. How did she turn into someone so vicious?""Doesn't she know Aurora is pregnant? Has she no sense of restraint at all?"Edward's expression darkened."Don't worry. Since this has happened, I'll make sure Aurora gets the justice she deserves. I won't let her swallow this humiliation."Just then, Philip slowly descended the stairs."What are the two of you planning?" he asked. "Tell this old man. If there's anything I can do to help, I won't hol

    Still, everything he'd said was true.Lucas really was that capable."Anything else?"Noticing Desmond's hesitant expression, Lucas looked up."Is there something else you need to report?"Desmond slapped a hand against his forehead and let out a helpless laugh."Look at me. My memory's getting worse by the day. I do have one more thing."As he spoke, he placed a USB drive containing the footage from his hidden body camera on Lucas's desk."Mr. Carter, I recorded everything Miss Song said."And the video's crystal clear. You can see and hear everything she did."Lucas looked mildly surprised."It went that smoothly?"Even now, Desmond still found it hard to believe."Honestly, I'm still trying to figure it out myself. She confessed way too easily."He shook his head in disbelief."I barely had to do anything. She practically spilled everything herself. And it looks like she and Joseph have completely fallen out.""I expected as much."He had deliberately sent Desmond to bring Joseph to

    Seeing the doctor stammer like that, Lucas’ patience wore thinner by the second.He’d already waited nearly a week.Now he was supposed to stand here while a doctor stumbled over his words?"My time is valuable.
