Chapter <b>213 </b>
She hadn’t expected a woman to carry such presence.
But the next second, she reminded herself that she couldn’t back down.
This was still her turf.
“You you’re using me of nder? Do you have any proot<b>?</b>”
The receptionist stood her ground. “If you don’t have proof, then keep your mouth shut!”
Her tone grew more forceful with every word, likely feeling that she waspletely justified.
Their argument at the front desk began drawing attention from nearby onlookers.
David, director of the supply department, happened to walk out with his assistant just in time to catch themotion at the front desk.
The moment he saw Aurora, his face turned as dark as thunder.
“What is she doing here? Get her out of here!”
Every time Davidid eyes on her, he couldn’t help but think of that incident. It left <b>a </b>bitter taste in his mouth.
After all that was said, how could she still have the nerve <b>to </b>show up?
Was everyone this shameless nowadays<b>? </b>
Even if they were to find new partners in the future, he would never work with Walton Corporation again
There was no need to even consider working with people like her
His assistant hesitated and said quietly, “Sir, are you sure you don’t want to see her?”
“<b>No</b>!” David shot him a re. “If you think it’s inappropriate, you go talk to her.”
The assistant immediately fell silent, saying nothing more on Aurora’s behalf.
From his past interactions with her, she’d never struck him as someone who spoke recklessly.
On the contrary, she had always been deliberate, clear–headed, and knew exactly what she was doing
Then what about those photos David <b>had </b>seenst night–what were they really about?
Aurora <b>had </b>nned to wait at the front desk for David, but after shing with that kind of receptionist, she lost all motivation.
With a sigh, she left quietly and dejectedly.
David watched her retreat and let out a cold snort. “From now on, stop letting just anyone into thepany. Some people have no business being here.”
Like today he didn’t want to exchange a single word with Aurora
Witer stepping out of the <b>building</b>, Aurora stood at the entrance<b>, </b>tebing oddly lost.
How had thingse to this?
Everything had been going so smoothly before she couldn’t ever pinpoint when it all <b>started </b>to fall <b>apart</b>.
All those partnerpanies, for no apparent reason, had suddenly be hostile.
This kind of situation was truly beyond anything she’d anticipated,
Defeated and dejected, Aurora returned to thepany.
But while some were distressed, others were delighted.
The private investigator had reported everything to Tessa in full detail, especially Aurora’s expression afterward
Tessa grew excited and immediately asked, “Did you get any photos? Let me see!”
It was a rare opportunity to see that woman looking defeated.
Usually, Aurora carried herself with such arrogance–Tessa couldn’t help but wonder if she’d now look like a pitiful little puppy.
“Don’t worry. That’s part of our standard package,” the investigator replied confidently.
Tessa was visibly pleased. “Good. Hurry, show me!”
The investigator handed her the materials, and Tessa eagerly took them
In the photo, Aurora stood outside the headquarters of Warren Group, her face downcast, red lips tightly pressed together, lookingpletely at a loss.
Sering that, Tessa could barely contain her joy.
Aurora, who would’ve thought you’d end up like this?
The investigator noticed her satisfied expression and figured he’d done a good job.
“Don’t forget to send me the remaining payment,” he added, taking the chance to bring up his fee.
