Aurora a walked to the side and slipped back into her high heel. She didnât even glance at the women writhing in pain on the floor.
With a captivating air, she walked across the threshold toward Yette. She immediately flashed her a charming smile, âHi there, young lady. Thanks for helping out. Whatâs your name?â
Yvette pulled back her bent legs, raised an eyebrow, and nodded casually. âYvette.â
Aurora found Yvette delightful no matter how she looked at her, âYoung lady, let me treat you to some coffee. Not here, though. I know a better place that youâll definitely like.â
Yvette lowered her eyes a bit. Her demeanor was always cool and composed. When she heard such a clichéd line as if enticing a child, she just nodded calmly. âAlright. When she heard such a clichéd line as if enticing a child, she just nodded calmly.
Aurora immediately smiled even more cheerfully. She loved girls who were so straightforward Unlike those pretentious and overly cautious elite ladies from Betrico who would politely turn down such an offer, which would be so dull. Even if it was the norm, they definitely wouldnât be on the same wavelength as her.
âGreat. Oh right. I havenât introduced myself yet. Iâm Aurora. I run a company that does a little bit of everything. After saying this, Aurora tilted her head slightly.
She looked at Lucy as if she had just noticed her. Suddenly, as if something occurred to her, she asked with uncertainty. âAre you Lucy, the CEO of Fast Pulse Technologies?â
Lucy was on the verge of tears. Sure enough, being next to Yvette made her feel invisible. She and Yvette had been standing here for a while, and only now did Aurora notice her.
She thought, âOh, what a pity! After all, Iâm a stunning girl with smooth skin, long legs, and a gorgeous look. The rumors are true.
Aurora is totally obsessed with good looks. Is it just because Iâm slightly less beautiful than Yvette that Iâm so completely ignored? Itâs so annoying But she could totally admire Yvette, yet she absolutely couldnât accept losing a beauty contest to anyone else.
Lucy nodded. âHello, Aurora, Iâm Lucyâ
After Aurora finished speaking, she might have felt a bit embarrassed too, so she extended an invitation to Lucy. âWould you like to join us?â
Lucy instantly realized how âsincere Auroraâs invitation actually was. She definitely wasnât going to bother with that. So she politely declined Auroraâs offer.
Aurora didnât seem the least bit upset about being rejected. In fact, she seemed even happier.
Lucy noted that having her heart broken was something she had become used to. Lucy assumed everything had been taken care of, as she clearly understood those women wouldnât dare mess with Aurora, even if they had the nerve. So, she said goodbye to Yvette first. Sheâd already knew that Yvette was in Seacrity. If Yvette didnât come to Betrico, she could always go to Seacrity, After Lucy left, Aurora was just about to leave with Yvette to grab some coffee when Eleanore, who had fainted earlier, came, to on the ground and saw the two standing in front of her. Remembering what happened before she passed out, she quickly touched her head. But this touch shocked her as she ended up grabbing a handful of her hair, Eleanore screamed wildly, and it sounded utterly miserable. The sound was chilling-
Yvette and Aurora both looked at her.
Eleanore seemed shocked, but she still retained a bit of sanity. She dare not to beat Aurora. But she didnât know Yvette. This meant she was not from the elite in Betrico, so it was no big deal. Since that was the case, she was determined to vent her anger.
Eleanore stood up with the aid of a few other ladies, not daring to look at Aurora. But they all glared ominously at Yvette Eleanore spoke, her voice trembling. âYou silly girl, this isnât over yet. We wonât let you get away with it.â
Hearing this, Aurora quickly turned and stood in front of Yvette. Her expression was cold. âDo you have any shame? Trying to bully a little girl without even considering what 1, Aurora, think? If you have the nerve, come at me. What kind of bullies target a little girlâ
Eleanore was even more furious seeing how Aurora defended Yene. Todayâs humiliation was too much for her to bear. If she couldnât even deal with an ordinary girl, it would be completely shameful. She couldnât believe Aurora would really jeopardize her reputation to protect her no matter what.
The other ladies with Eleanore werenât in nearly as bad a situation as she was. So when they heard this, none of them reacted as strongly as Eleanore did. They collectively shrunk back. They genuinely couldnât afford to provoke that Aurora.
Eleanore gritted her teeth and said to Aurora, enduring the intense pain in her scalp. âMrs. Chavez, youâre going too far. Youâve hit us, and weâve let it slide. But why should we forgive this girl? Step aside. Itâs none of your business. The one we want to deal with is her.â
The other wealthy ladies nodded in agreement. They were all influential figures in Betrico, and if they didnât find a scapegoat to handle this, they would be able to maintain their reputation.
Fleanore thought sheâd compromised, and Aurora should understand what was appropriate.
But Aurora just gave them a cold glance. She observed the women who were aggressively confronting Yvette. Her temper flared up again. Maybe she hadnât been forceful enough earlier. That was why these women were still here, chattering away.
Aurora wondered if she needed to fully embrace violence, subdue them by force. âDidnât you understand? Iâll tell you again. Iâm protecting this person, so bring your issues to me.â
Just as the standoff continued with no one speaking, the sound of police sirens suddenly came from outside the dessert shop..
Yvette lifted her eyes and glanced calmly at the woman across from her. She noticed one of them, a woman in a cheongsamt, smiled slightly when she heard the sirens.
Though the smile was brief, Yvette saw it very clearly.
Eleanore was also taken aback. Her expression was somewhat comical. She wondered, Who called the police? If this blows up, what good will it do us? Especially with how protective the Chavez family is? Alas Aurora wasnât worried at all by the sound of police sirens. If she had to make a trip to the police station, sheâd just consider it a little excursion.
She had gone to the police station once when she was younger for bravely hitting a sleazy guy harassing a girl with a brick. She never thought sheâd have another chance to experience it.
Worried that Yvette might be scared, Aurora quickly shifted and reassured her, âYvette, donât be afraid. I will protect you Letâs just act like weâre having fun at the police station for a while, okay? Give me a moment. Iâll call my husband to get us out.
Yvette looked up. noticing the worry in Auroraâs eyes and hesitated for a moment. She nodded obediently and said, âOkayâ
Aurora patted her shoulder, exuding the air of a big sister. She glanced at the people in front of her, snorted coldly, and said, âWhen we get to the police station, letâs talk it out and see why weâre here, okay? Donât say I bullied you. You better call your husbands over.â
Eleanore and the other ladies heard this and, seeing the look of fear on each otherâs faces, were quite scared. If their husbands found out they had offended the Chavez family, they might be in serious trouble.
Eleanore, enduring the headache, tried to say a couple of good words to Aurora, âMrs. Chavez, letâs just call it off, okay? We wonât go to the police station. Youâve already let out your anger on us, havenât you? Letâs just pretend this never happened.
alright?â
Aurora disliked Eleanore the most for her constant gossiping and criticizing others. She didnât care about the frightened look on Eleanoreâs face across from her. She took out her phone and dialed number one, which was Cliffordâs exclusive contact.
As soon as the call went through, Auroraâs demeanor changed immediately. Her first words left the woman across from her completely bewildered.
The fierce tigress turned into a harmless kitten with just one phone call. âHoney, I was bullied. Iâm so scared. My hand hurtsâ
