The two of them were joking around as they headed downtown, eventually finding a food street. Aurora suddenly got a craving for pizza, so Heath led her through a maze of streets to a pizza place, where they ordered a ton of food. Aurora was instantly happy and enjoyed a comfortable dinner.After eating, Aurora was so stuffed she could barely walk. Heath looked at her helplessly and said, "Are you a kid? You don't know when to stop eating?"Aurora, rubbing her stomach and sprawled out on a chair without any grace, replied, "I was hungry, okay? Besides, the pizza here is really good!"Heath shook his head in resignation and took Aurora for a walk to digest the food. They strolled for about an hour before heading back to the Whitmore house.When they got home, the family dinner had already ended, and the servants had cleared away the dishes. The dinner was originally planned for Aurora, but because of Isabella's actions, Aurora refused to attend, so it fizzled out. Mr. Whitmore hadn't ea

This girl he raised all by himself should be his. She has always been his. Every glance, every emotion of hers should belong to him!Seeing Heath being led away by Mr. Whitmore to chat with others, Dominic got rid of Isabella and headed into the bathroom.Aurora had just finished up and was washing her hands when she saw Dominic. She froze for a moment and said, "Mr. Ashcroft, you should knock before entering."This was a party at the Whitmore family villa, so the bathroom wasn’t gender-specific. Guests would always knock first to make sure no one was inside."I did knock, Miss Aurora. Didn’t you hear?" Dominic Ashcroft asked.Aurora shook her head. "I didn’t hear anything."She found it ridiculous. Dominic Ashcroft was always like this, full of lies. Just like when he deceived her into thinking he would proudly have her by his side. She worked so hard to complete her tasks just for that day to come sooner. But in a blink of an eye, he had Isabella as his girlfriend. He told Aurora th

Today, Aurora slept in until noon again. When she came downstairs, she got looks from the servants and a knowing smirk from Mr. Whitmore. Aurora pretended not to notice and walked into the dining room.One of the servants brought her a bowl of soup, placing it in front of her. Aurora lowered her head and started sipping the soup when Mr. Whitmore suddenly remarked, “Aurora, take care of yourself. Have some soup to replenish your strength.”Aurora almost choked on her soup and started coughing into a napkin. Heath, ever attentive, patted her back and poured her some water, gently saying, “Take your time. No one’s going to take it from you.”In between her coughing and drinking, Aurora shot Heath a fierce glare. If it weren’t for him keeping her up, she wouldn’t be sleeping in every day.Heath, completely ignoring her glare, smiled at her and said, “Eat more, you need the energy.”Aurora muttered under her breath, “Energy for what, exactly?”After hastily finishing her meal, Mr. Whitmor

The client looked at Isabella's panicked expression and asked if she was feeling unwell. Isabella shook her head, but the client was still waiting for her explanation. With no choice, Isabella tried to speak, but she only managed a few words before she couldn't continue. She usually relied on her assistant to prepare the proposal, get it approved by her father, and then present it to the client. Now, she was expected to explain it herself, and she hadn’t memorized the whole plan!Seeing Isabella stammer, the client frowned and asked, "Does your company not want to proceed with this cooperation? Why do I not see any sincerity?"Isabella waved her hands nervously, not knowing what to say. Aurora, however, smiled and said, "If you don't mind, I can try to explain it."Aurora then went on to detail the area, price, usage, and various aspects of the development process of the property, providing a very thorough explanation with reasonable data. Finally, the client looked satisfied.Isabell

The crazy mess of last night is behind them. Aurora actually got a good rest, she and Heath got up early and went for a jog. When they strolled back, the servants were already bringing breakfast to the table. Aurora and Heath went back to their rooms to shower and change, and when they came down to eat, the only one there was Mr. Whitmore.Aurora looked around, a bit puzzled, and asked, "Didn't my cousin come back?"The servants all shook their heads, saying Isabella hadn't been home all night. Aurora was stumped - she had snatched a collaboration project from Isabella, and was planning to take even more of her projects at the company. But Isabella hadn't come home to complain or try to sabotage her. This was so unlike her proud and haughty cousin.Since Isabella was a no-show, Aurora had to sit there and eat her breakfast obediently, even though she was seething inside.But then Mr. Whitmore suddenly said, "I heard the client was especially satisfied with your performance yesterday?"
