Princess Wright was stunned.


    Her gaze shifted to Ste''s face. "Brother, what''s going on? How did she target Aurora?"


    Truth be told, Princess Wright knew nothing of the feud between Ste and Aurora. She had only recently met Aurora, who naturally wouldn''t have brought up such matters.


    Eason sneered. "Ever since she returned to the Williams family, she has constantly stolen Aurora''s business deals. A while back, when the media started digging up dirt on her, she threw Aurora under the bus to divert attention. And before that, she let her bodyguards destroy Aurora''s car..."


    Eason recounted the past incidents one by one. Clearly, he had done a thorough investigation of Aurora.


    Aurora had only just met the Wright siblings; she wouldn''t be foolish enough to startining to them right away. But even if she said nothing, Eason would have inevitably looked into the background of the person who had saved his sister''s life.


    Seeing Eason''s cold re, Noah''s expression turned grim. He had heard of Eason''s methods. To secure his position as heir, Eason had even been willing to harm his own brothers. And he was not as easily swayed as Princess Wright.


    Noah immediately began to exin on Ste''s behalf. "Eason, I think there must be some misunderstanding. Star would never—"


    Before Noah could finish, Ste cut him off.


    "He''s right. I did all those things."


    Everyone stared at Ste in shock.


    Ste smiled lightly. "I returned to the Williams family. Was I supposed to be there for a touching sisterly reunion, or to fight for power? What do you mean, I ''stole'' her deals? We werepeting fairly. Just because she wasn''t good enough to win, you call it stealing? Does that mean everything she fails to obtain was stolen from her?"


    At this, Ste looked at Eason with a half-smile.


    "In that case, Prince Wright, from whom did you steal your position as heir?"


    Beforeing to rescue Abby, Ste had thoroughly researched the backgrounds of Princess Wright and Prince Wright. Princess Wright''s history was unremarkable, mostly filled with possessive and jealous squabbles that, fortunately, had not yet resulted in any deaths. But this Prince Wright was another story.


    Prince Wright had three older brothers, all born to the king''s mistresses. The German royal family had no strict distinction between legitimate and illegitimate heirs, and the status of those consorts was pot inferior to the queens. The position of heir was determined by ability alone.


    Prince Wright was not as capable as his three older brothers, and the position of heir should never have fallen to him. However, his three brothers had all met with sessive "idents," and only then did the titlend in hisp.


    In Ste''s mind, she judged Prince Wright''s ruthlessness to be on par with Leonard''s.


    His sore spot having been hit, Prince Wright flew into a rage.


    He abruptly pulled out a pistol and pressed it to Ste''s head.


    Noah''s face paled. "Eason, put the gun down!"


    Princess Wright was also terrified. Though she was spoiled and willful, she had never taken a life.


    Eason red at Ste, his eyes murderous.


    "Say one more word, and see if I don''t shoot you dead!"


    Ste met Eason''s ferocious gaze with a faint smile.


    She enunciated each word clearly. "I don''t believe you will. If you dare to shoot a daughter of the Williams family, one of itsrgest


    shareholders, your future as heir will end right here. I''d love to see if you''re willing to kill me for a woman you''ve only met a few times and who hasn''t even agreed to marry you."
