Chapter <b>310 </b>
“Then tell me, what exactly did I do?” Aurora stared at the woman, closing the distance between them step by step. The moment Aurora saw her, she was sure of one thing–she didn’t know this woman at all.
She had never been someone with a poor memory for faces.
In fact, anyone she’d met, even once, would usually leave an impression.
But the woman standing before her? Not the slightest hint of familiarity.
Aurora’s tone turned cold. “Who are you? What are you trying to say?”
“Nothing in particr,” the woman replied, dressed in a striking red dress with meticulously applied makeup.
But even that polished look couldn’t mask the sharp coldness and calcting ambition in her eyes.
<b>“</b>I just want to say–if someone’s going to do something like that, they’d better own up to it. Don’t y the victim while acting like a saint.”
Aurora recalled the usation about seducing her future brother–inw.
It had to be something Julian spread around. How else would word get out?
She had known better than to trust that man. Just look at the kind of mess he created.
Her expression barely changed<b>, </b>remaining calm andposed as she continued moving closer to the woman in red.
At first<b>, </b>the woman looked smug and fearless<b>, </b>but Aurora’s steady approach began to shake her confidence.
Was <b>it </b>possible she really hadn’t done those things?
Why else would she seem so sure of herself and unshaken?
Could it be that this entire thing had nothing to do with her at all?
But why did that <b>person </b>sound so certain when they brought it <b>up</b>?
No, she had to be taking <b>it </b>and pretending, to be calm while holding something back.
What she hated most in life were women who destroyed families–those who seduced other people’s husbands.
The woman in red clenched her hands, her expression turning more vicious <b>as </b>she stared at Aurora.
“At this point<b>, </b><b>you’re </b><b>still </b>going to pretend?”

The woman in red clenched her hands, her expression turning more vicious as she stared at Aurora.
“At this point, you’re still going to pretend?”
She lifted her chin slightly, looking at Aurora with smug contempt.
She had been hurt by a woman like this before.
That was why she had nothing but scorn for someone like Aurora.
She couldn’t stand the sight of her.
A mistre
A mistress who tore apart another woman’s marriage deserved nothing but ruin.
And to go after her own future brother–inw? How could she stomach that?
Looking at Aurora now, the woman saw her as the embodiment of all that was wrong, and yet somehow, she carried herself like the symbol of righteousness.
From the shadows, Tessa watched it all unfold.
The excitement in her eyes made her thoughts obvious.
“Yes, just like that. This is exactly how it should go.”
She smirked to herself in silence.
The louder this blew up, the harder it would be for Grace to sweep it under the rug.
That secret was never going to stay hidden.
Tessa was gloating inside.
She didn’t believe for <b>a </b>second that if Aurora caused such a scandal<b>, </b>Grace would still be able to clean up the mess for her. What a joke.
As the woman in red kept talking, the surrounding crowd grew louder, their voices turning into a chorus of usations against Aurora.
“No way. She doesn’t look like the type. How could she do something like that?” “Exactly! She’s smart<b>, </b>she’s beautiful. Why would she stoop to being a mistress?”
“I heard geniuses often have strange kinks. Maybe Aurora’s one of those people?”
“You’re all talking nonsense!”
Megan finally couldn’t hold it in.
Hearing the crowd spiral out of control<b>, </b>she shouted at them.
These people were going <b>too </b>far. <b>This </b>had nothing to do with them, yet they all jumped in like <b>they </b>had <b>a </b>personal stake in it.
