Aurora came back so suddenly without a word of notice, and with such an aggressive attitude too.Tessa couldn’t shake off the feeling that Aurora must have gotten hold of some kind of evidence—an uneasy tension gnawed at her.Tessa gave a mocking laugh and spoke first. “You must be back because you missed Mom, right? It’s been quite a while since you last saw her.”“Didn’t we just have a family dinner last week?”Tessa froze. This damn Aurora—she was clearly doing it on purpose. Why did every word she said seem aimed at tearing her down?It was as if they were born enemies.In truth, that was exactly how Aurora felt. Since she disliked the person, she saw no reason to hide it.She had never been the kind to flatter or please anyone.Since Tessa was openly targeting her, why should she be polite?They were better off as enemies in plain sight.Aurora spoke bluntly. “I came here today mainly because of what’s happening online.”Before Aurora could finish, Grace quickly cut in. “I’ve hea

Grace also noticed that something was off about Tessa’s reaction.From the moment she held the file, Tessa’s eyes hadn’t left the envelope in her hands.It was as if she was even more curious than Grace to know what was inside.Grace raised a brow and lifted the envelope slightly. “Tessa, do you also want to know what’s in here?”Tessa looked embarrassed. “Mom, since this is supposed to be the so-called evidence of my sister slandering me, of course I want to know. I just want to prove my innocence.”Aurora found that even more laughable, but she didn’t expose her right away. Instead, she urged Grace. “Since Tessa’s so curious, Mom, why don’t you open it now?“That way, she’ll finally know exactly how she tried to ruin me online.”Hearing that, Tessa was now certain the evidence inside must link her directly to everything that happened online.Grace felt uneasy too. She had already asked Tessa about it earlier, and Tessa had sworn she had nothing to do with the online scandal.So, what

In that instant, all strength seemed to drain from Aurora’s body.She took a deep breath and looked at Grace. “So, Mom, no matter what I say, you’ll never believe me, will you?”Grace replied calmly, “Even if you’ve shown me what you call facts, there’s still no solid proof that Tessa was the one who hired those people. And besides, what if she really doesn’t know that man?”Those words hit Aurora like a heavy blow.She finally understood—Grace’s heart had always belonged entirely to Tessa, leaving no place for her at all.At that moment, everything became clear to Aurora.Why was she still trying so hard for her mother’s affection?Coming here today was only to let Grace know the truth.It was also her way of giving herself closure.She had wanted to see Grace’s reaction—to know if, after learning the truth, she would stand by her side.But now it was obvious. Grace would always have her own views, and no matter what, she would stand with Tessa.Aurora sighed softly. “Forget it.”Her

Lucas completely ignored Grace’s earlier question, showing no intention of responding at all.To him, anyone who stood against Aurora was his enemy, whether elder or junior—it didn’t matter.In his eyes, there was only Aurora.Besides, Grace was no longer fit to lecture her daughter.To Lucas, she was nothing more than an unqualified mother, especially after favoring one daughter over the other, she had lost every bit of respect he might have had for her.He didn’t bother to hide his disdain.If Grace had treated Aurora better from the start, he might not have treated her this way now.Seeing that Lucas ignored her completely, Grace grew angry. With no other choice, she repeated herself, “Lucas, no matter what, I’m still your elder. Do you really think it’s appropriate to speak to me like this?”“Whether it’s appropriate or not has nothing to do with you.”Lucas’ tone was cold and steady. He no longer cared who stood before him—his stance was the same for everyone.“You’ve already mad

What did that man mean by that?It was clearly between her mother and Aurora, so why did it all end up being blamed on her?The thought filled Tessa not only with fear but also with growing resentment.…On the other side, as Aurora and Lucas left, he kept a close eye on her expression, unsure whether what happened with Grace had affected her.Since walking out of that house, Aurora hadn’t said a single word.Seeing this, Lucas grew concerned.“Aurora, don’t worry. I’ll always be by your side. If something’s bothering you, you can tell me.”“Why would you think that?” Aurora asked, puzzled as she looked at him, unable to understand why he thought that way.The truth was, from the moment she stepped out of that house, she had already seen things clearly. She and Grace were people from two different worlds. So, what if they shared the same bloodline?They had already torn off all pretense, and from now on, their paths would never cross again.Their contact would be minimal, and with Tes
