Chapter 1865
Aldor spoke in a firm tone, laced with a hint of sarcasm, not too loud but clear enough.
Aurora was taken aback. She had always seen Aldor as someone who rarely lost his cool.
He had always been the epitome of politeness at work, even when Aurora, in a fit of anger, had oncescornfully called him the Kane family's lapdog. Aldor never snapped back.
She had little regard for people like Aldor, who, in her eyes, would bend over backward to please theirsuperiors.
Not long ago, when she was relegated to a lower-tier department, her confrontations with Aldor, bothovert and covert, had been frequent. Keegan, their boss, had tasked Aldor with supervising her.
Aldor always seemed to assign her more challenging tasks than others. Whenever she submitted areport, he would scrutinize her work far more than anyone else's. His criticisms were sharp. "How isthis data analysis? Where's your month-to-month, year-to-year comparison?”
“The title is catchy, but the content? It's incomprehensible.”
"Did your university guarantee a pass to all its students? I can't fathom how else you came up withsuch a report.”
“Don't include my name as your auditor. I refuse to be associated with this.”
Aurora, despite her privileged upbringing, had always been a decent student. Her grades wereconsistently above average, a fact she took pride in.
Her peers, who barely scraped through their courses, eventually returned to their affluent lives,inheriting family businesses. Aurora, having never failed a subject and maintaining a respectable GPA,considered herself an excellent student.
But to Aldor, her academic achievements meant little. Her initial days working with Aldor were filled withresentment.
She had chosen to start from the bottom, as per Cordelia's advice — endure all hardships, but neverquit. Quitting meant she could never work at Vinci Rivera again.
Despite being on Aldor’s radar, she never complained to Cordelia.
After being released from confinement, nightmares had haunted her - memories of being bullied. Sheresented Stella and Keegan deeply.novelbin
Yet, these feelings paled in comparison to the hurt caused by her friends’ mocking and sarcasticremarks.
“Aurora is so naive. If I were her, I'd have befriended Stella long ago. It's clear Keegan is still smittenwith Stella. Win over Stella, and Keegan would shower her with even more wealth.”
"She's the most foolish person I know. Always antagonizing Stella, hoping for their divorce. And now?She never imagined that one impulsive act would lead to Keegan having her locked up.”
"She's lucky to be born into such a family. Despite her foolishness, we have to maintain a facade ofrespect.”
Her friends’ laughter echoed in her ears, one adding, "She might lack brains, but she's stunning. IfKeegan wasn't so protective, I'd have pursued her myself. She truly believes she's a princess, allbecause of how we treat her. Without her brother's influence, she'd be nothing.”
“That's enough. Let's not upset our princess. After all, she sees you as her hero.”
