Although Jonathan found it strange, he knew he couldn''t use brute force on their territory. So, he found a way to secretly contact Aurora, and together they


    orchestrated her escape.


    Speaking of this, Jonathan''s face turned icy. "Those Fordham brothers are likewless kings in the Delta, immune to both persuasion and pressure. They knew Aurora was from the Williams family, but they still refused to let her go. They have absolutely no respect for us."


    "So how did you end up getting her out?" Coleman asked.


    Jonathan nced at Aurora, who was still unconscious on the bed. He sighed softly. "Aurora stabbed one of the brothers, the older one, and then set a fire that burned down the Fordham estate. In the chaos, she managed to meet up with the people I sent and escaped the Delta."


    Coleman was stunned by Jonathan''s words. Aurora not only dared tomit arson but also to kill someone. It was a testament to what she must have been pushed to over there.


    "What... what exactly happened to her in the Delta?" Coleman couldn''t help but ask.


    Jonathan''s face darkened, and he pressed his lips together, remaining silent. How could he say it? Aurora, a daughter of high society, had been reduced to a mere toy for the Fordham brothers?


    Just then, the doctor finished his assessment and addressed Jonathan. "Mr. Williams, the tattoos on Ms. Williams were done with a special material. I''m afraid they will be very difficult to remove."


    At these words, the faces of both Skyler and Jonathan turned grim.


    Ste looked at Aurora in surprise. Tattoos?


    Israel voiced Ste''s question. "What tattoos?"


    Jonathan''s


    voice wasced with


    fury. "The Fordham brothers threw Aurora into their private garden, which is filled with wild beasts they keep. She was nearly torn apart but was lucky to escape with hedlife, though she was left with scars. The brothers then had people tattoo vulgar patterns over her scars!"


    Daughters of prominent families were not supposed to have any tattoos. Aurora''s were extensive, and now they couldn''t even be removed. How was she supposed to marry anyone now?!


    Jonathan''s voice seemed to be a bit too loud, as the sleeping Aurora frowned slightly. Seeing this, Skyler said, "Let Aurora rest. We''ll talk outside."


    No one objected. They all followed Jonathan into the conference room.


    A short whileter, Queenie Burton, having received the news, arrived. Seeing


    Aurora lying on the bed, Queenie couldn''t help but burst into tears.


    As if hearing her cries, Aurora finally


    ver


    woke up. For a few seconds, she was dazed. The familiar surroundings made her feel as if she were dreaming. During those nightmarish days, she had dreamt countless times of being found and returning home. She had also


    imagined that in her most desperate moments, someone would descend from the heavens and save her from her hell. But no one had. No one came to save her when she was attacked by the beasts, on the verge of death. No one came to save her when she was humiliated and toyed with by the Fordham brothers. It was as if she had fallen into an endless abyss, damned beyond redemption.


    Seeing her awake, Queenie was overjoyed "Aurora, you''re finally awake! My uncle and Sherman were sé worried about you, they sent me to check on you. It''s so good that you''re okay!"
