As Aurora had put it, ever since she returned to school, she'd completely stolen Sophia's spotlight.People even started threads on the school forum, urging their fellow students to vote for a new "school beauty." Sophia was utterly ignored.On top of that, Aurora consistently ranked first in mock exams, while Sophia's grades plummeted. Many guys started to openly confess to Aurora, calling her their "queen of academics."Sophia returned home in a rage, smashing things. No matter how Madeline tried to soothe her, she was losing patience with Sophia.Now, her grandpa was treating Aurora like his prized possession, even arranging a driver for her daily commute. Sophia was restricted at every turn, unable to mess with her.Aurora was living the good life, spending her days at the old mansion, waiting for the exams to end so she could go hang out with Heath in the capital.She lay on her bed, flipping through some files from Harmony Media, bored out of her mind.Harmony Media had been pro

The next day, Heath arrived at the Pendleton residence to pick up Aurora for a trip to the airport."Sweetheart, take good care of yourself in the capital, alright? Don't make me worry," her grandpa said, full of concern."Don't worry, Grandpa, I got it," Aurora assured him."Heath, I'm entrusting Aurora to you. Take good care of her," the old man told Heath.Heath nodded, "You can count on me, sir."The old man looked a bit down as he held her hand, "Go on, go on. I'll come visit you in the capital soon."As Aurora got into the car, her eyes reddened. Her grandpa looked so pitiful, like a forlorn old man, it broke her heart.Heath patted her hand but said nothing.After a three-hour flight, Aurora was practically dozing off.Heath drove to an apartment complex and led her into the elevator. "Where is this?" Aurora asked."Vista Apartments. You'll be staying here for now," Heath replied."Alright," Aurora followed him in.Heath turned on the lights like he owned the place, "You'll be

When Aurora arrived at the TV station, Evelyn sat in the makeup room, bored out of her mind and scrolling through her phone. She didn't look worried at all.Seeing Aurora soaked from the rain, Evelyn grinned and said, "Well, well, if it isn't the heiress of the Pendletons. What's got you running errands?"Evelyn's assistant chimed in, sucking up as usual, "Heiress of the Pendletons? There's only you, the eldest, and the youngest, Sophia. This one doesn't look like a rich young lady at all."Evelyn laughed, "Aurora, Sophia is young and naive, easy for you to manipulate. You think I'm like her? You dare to show up here? I'll skin you alive if you do!"Evelyn sashayed into the fitting room. Her assistant tossed the dress Evelyn had taken off to Aurora and snatched the bag containing the new gown, taking it into the fitting room.The dress Evelyn had taken off was perfectly fine; she was just making things difficult for Aurora on purpose.Aurora unzipped the old dress and tossed it onto a

The internet was buzzing about Evelyn's foul-mouthed rant. Her fans were busy clarifying that she was just emotionally unstable and not usually like that.But the woman in the video, with her fierce eyes, was nothing like the gentle Evelyn people knew. No matter how much her fans tried to clean up her image, there were still those who questioned the real Evelyn.Meanwhile, some media outlet, probably bought off, released a clip of Evelyn hitting someone on set. "Evelyn's Image Crumbles" trended again.Because of this, the ad campaign that was up for grabs between her and Yvonne landed firmly in Yvonne's lap.Furious, Evelyn stormed into Winters's office, where she found Aurora sipping coffee. Winters had warmed up to Aurora since their last encounter."Evelyn, with all the negative press you've been getting, it's not a good idea for you to be in the public eye right now. Just lay low for a bit," Winters advised."Lay low? If I disappear for a few days, I'll lose fans! Are you giving a

Everyone in the upper echelons of several drama crews knew that Sophia and Aurora were the Pendleton heiresses. They wouldn't dare meddle in the affairs of such a wealthy family.Sophia stumbled back, shocked. She thought Aurora wouldn't dare lay a hand on her in public. But what she failed to realize was that Aurora had no such reservations.Before Sophia could even argue, Aurora grabbed her wrist, her eyes icy cold. "Sophia, I've been too lenient with you lately. How dare you mess with my people?"The grip hurt, and what made it worse was that Aurora was covered in blood, looking as menacing as a demon straight out of hell.Unable to break free, Sophia screamed, "Help! Someone, help!"Aurora glared at her, "If anything happens to Ivy, not even God can save you. I'll personally send you to hell."Some people rushed over to separate them, while others urged Aurora, "Let's go, you need to get to the hospital to check on Ivy."Finally, Aurora let go and headed for the hospital.At the e
