Chapter Eighty-One

Ethan did not stay for the gala.

The Winter Ice Gala was one of the most coveted events on Crestmont's social calendar.

Six months on a waiting list. Sponsorship deals worth a quarter of a million. Celeste had been invited as a guest of honor for it but that doesn’t mean she did not know and appreciated the importance of it.

She had been so proud when she got the invitation, which was also an automatic invitation for whomever she decided to invite as well.

She had invited Et

  • THE GENIUS HE LET GO: Ex-husband’s Regret   Just Pure Luck!

    Chapter Ninety-ThreeHowever, some of the research team members did not think Aurora was all that great.They think it was just pure luck.Kurt leaned back in his chair and folded his arms across his chest.“I still think we’re making too much of this,” he said in a bored tone, “Aurora noticed one thing we missed. Big deal. That doesn’t suddenly make her some kind of medical genius.”Bella nodded from beside him. “Exactly. We were already close. If she hadn’t walked in, we would have eventually found the secondary trigger ourselves.”Nadia looked at them both.She understood what they were saying, but she wasn’t completely convinced.What Aurora had displayed here had been on a whole different level, really. That could not all just be luck, right?Bella crossed her arms and gave a knowing smile round at the others, “Listen to this everyone,” she started, “Miss Hale had arrived at the right moment, looked at the case from a different angle, and noticed something the rest of them had ov

  • THE GENIUS HE LET GO: Ex-husband’s Regret   Could It Be…Seraph?!

    Chapter Ninety-ThreeNadia’s gaze shifted toward Aurora’s office again. The strangest part was that Aurora had not behaved like someone desperate to prove herself. She hadn’t challenged them, thrown Nadia’s earlier accusations back in her face, or even reminded them that she had just solved a problem that had left five researchers completely stuck.She had simply helped.Then she had returned to work as though nothing significant had happened.Nadia lowered her hand and stared at the treatment model on the screen.That restraint unsettled her more than arrogance would have.An arrogant person was easy to understand. Someone who wanted recognition would make certain everyone knew what they had accomplished. They would enjoy the praise, remind everyone of their superiority, and use every opportunity to establish their authority.Aurora had done the exact opposite.She seemed almost indifferent to whether they admired her.That was unusual.“She’s good,” Selene finally said.The young wo

  • THE GENIUS HE LET GO: Ex-husband’s Regret   Dead Wrong!

    Chapter Ninety-TwoKurt’s eyes widened in fury, “You!…”“Aurora Hale!” Nadia called coldly, “Are you done?!”“How can you say that?” Bella put in, “Donyou even know how hard Nadia worked to get to where she was today?! Can you even understand it?!”Aurora ignored then and returned her attention back to the document. After reading the final page, Aurora returned to the first report.Her eyes moved over the information once more.Then she looked at the screen.“You’re treating the mutation as primary.” She said calmly.Nadia frowned, then rolled her eyes, “Because, it’s the primary mutation.” She scoffed in mockery, “Ypu don’t even know that.”“It’s not the primary mutation.” Aurora’s voice was calm.The others exchanged skeptical glances, definitely not trusting a word Aurora was saying.Nadia crossed her arms, and stared at Aurora with a sarcastic little smile on her lips, “Pray, Enloghten us.” She uttered, “If it’s not the primary mutation, then what is it?”Aurora pointed to a secti

  • THE GENIUS HE LET GO: Ex-husband’s Regret   This Is Not Your Turf!

    Chapter Ninety-OneMeanwhile, inside her office, Aurora had already settled behind her desk.She opened the folder she had brought along and began reviewing the latest research reports.The upcoming exhibition was important, and there were several things she needed to prepare before the trip.She had no interest in wasting her time listening to workplace gossip.She had encountered people like Nadia countless times throughout her career.Some were genuinely talented but struggled with their egos. Others simply could not accept that someone else was better than them.Nadia belonged to the latter category.Aurora turned a page, her expression indifferent.It was almost amusing that someone could question her qualifications simply because she had no publications under the name Aurora Hale.After all, she had spent years building her reputation under an entirely different identity.Seraph.The name alone had commanded respect across the medical community long before she ever stepped into
