The banquet ended at ten in the evening. Andrew Kennedy walked Aurelia out the door, glanced at her car, and furrowed his brows as he asked, "Didn't your agent co with you today?"
Aurelia shook her head, "She had so matters to attend to, so I let her leave early."
"How about I give you a ride?" Andrew suggested.
"Others might not know, but don't you? I'm not drinking alcohol," she chuckled, politely declining his offer, and got into her car with the keys.
Nancy Carter secretly captured this scene, then approached Eleanor Spencer, her tone slightly displeased, "Andrew is supposed to be in a publicity stunt with you, yet he's getting so close to another female celebrity. If the journalists catch this, they'll make a big deal out of it. When did Tyler Thomas's artists fail to grasp such basics?"
Eleanor smiled faintly, "It's fine, the journalists don't know we're gathering here. It's normal for Andrew to say a few more words with Aurelia Shaw, since they're close."
Though she said this, everyone could see the trace of loneliness on her face. They smiled and chid in with so criticism, "Andrew does seem a bit thoughtless. Engaging in a publicity stunt yet leaving the girl here alone—who knows what the journalists will write?"
"Sigh, although Andrew is quite famous, our Isabel Bennett is currently the one in the spotlight. He should be glad to be in a stunt with her, he doesn't know how to cherish the opportunity, young people...," soone tried to flatter Eleanor.
Out of view, Eleanor's lips curled into a smile, and a cold glimr flashed in her eyes. Noticing Andrew coming over, she signaled to Nancy.
Understanding Eleanor's signal, Nancy approached Andrew.
Andrew stared at the set of car keys suddenly presented before him with a puzzled look and glanced at Nancy, his brows furrowing.
Nancy felt a looming pressure, it must be an illusion, "Eleanor had a bit to drink, please give her a ride ho tonight."
Andrew cast a calm glance at Eleanor, "Why do I have to take her ho?"
"Don't forget you're 'dating' her now. Isn't sending your girlfriend ho a boyfriend's duty?" Nancy frowned with slight annoyance, "Didn't Tyler even tell you that much?"
"Hey! Where are you going?" Nancy exclaid as Andrew suddenly turned and walked away!
Andrew paused, turned back to shoot a cold smile at her, one hand tucked in his pocket as he opened the car door with the other, nodding a smile at Eleanor.
Eleanor thought he was inviting her, shyly lowered her head with a smile, and took a step forward.
However—
Andrew suddenly got in the car and drove off.
The car exhaust sprayed onto Eleanor's face, her white dress marred with black spots. Angrily, she clenched her hands into fists, trembling with rage, and as Nancy approached, her eyes turned coldly dark.
"Did you take the pictures?"
"I've got them," Nancy replied.
Even Nancy hadn't expected Andrew to be so bold. She patted Eleanor's shoulder in consolation.
She whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, anyone who offends you, I'll help you ruin them completely."
Eleanor curved a cold smile.
Since you like Aurelia so much, let her be buried alongside you. I'll make sure everyone close to her ets the sa end!

Aurelia drove back to Cloud Pavilion Garden. There were hardly any vehicles on the road, the streetlights casting a glaring illumination, giving the night a sowhat empty and eerie vibe.
Screech——
The harsh sound of tires skidding on the road rang like a death knell. A black car suddenly erged from a side street at a rapid pace, giving no ti to react!
The bright headlights blinded her, in the blur she only sensed a car barreling towards her like a beast. She swerved the steering wheel sharply.
But.
Still a step too late!
