The voice sounded unchanged, "Alright, alright, it's my fault, but the film crew is rushing the schedule, and when it cos to work matters, there's nothing I can do. Besides, you have soldiers standing guard at my door every night. Sooner or later, I'll be scared into nervous breakdown."
"Woof!"
The soldier seed to hear his na and barked excitedly, running around the room.
Aurelia shivered. Although she couldn't see the soldier, just hearing that deafening bark was enough to scare her.
A drop of cold sweat appeared on her forehead. Who knows what she did to make the soldier like her so much and be so attached to her.
"Aurelia, when will you co back to visit grandpa?" Kai Nightshade's voice carried a slight grievance, and the steward beside him shivered, thinking: Master, you should maintain your dignity.
Aurelia was silent for a mont, "Let's wait until the film crew finishes shooting. We're rushing progress recently, and there might not be any free ti."
Kai Nightshade sensed a hint of concealnt in her words but didn't press further. He rely expressed his dissatisfaction, "As long as you don't forget this old man. On my birthday, you must make ti to co. If you dare not show up, this old man won't forgive you."
On my birthday.
By then, the Nightshade Family might already be in a crisis.
And who knows if, by that ti, grandpa will still be willing to accept her.
"Alright, as long as you don't mind,"
"What do you an 'mind' or 'not mind'? I've always seen you as my daughter-in-law! Always have, always will!" Kai Nightshade said sternly.
"Okay." Suddenly, Aurelia felt her nose clogging, it was the first ti she wanted to cry since she returned. She married into the Nightshade Family with shares, which was initially a strategic alliance, but in grandpa's eyes, it was different. In grandpa's heart, he truly saw her as his granddaughter-in-law.
Amanda Fuller saw Aurelia like this for the first ti and couldn't help but lower the TV volu. After Aurelia hung up the phone, she sat there dazed, and after a few minutes, Amanda couldn't help but ask, "Aurelia, are you okay?"
Just now she was talking happily when she ntioned grandpa, how co after the call her mood fell so low?
"I'm fine." Though she said this, her voice was hoarse, "Bring tomorrow's script here; let look at it. I've seen the information about the excellent program you ntioned, we can accept it. Artists appearing only on-screen are too peaceful; participating in so reality shows can close the gap with fans."
Amanda muttered "Oh" and seeing she wasn't speaking anymore, didn't ask further. She handed tomorrow's script to her, afraid to disturb her. Avoiding watching TV, Amanda snuggled into bed, plugged her earphones in, and browsed Weibo before sleeping.
Ding dong!
While Aurelia was reading the script, a ssage ca through.
"The bait has successfully left the country, the plan succeeded, the net will be cast tonight."
Tonight... Aurelia turned her head, her deep cold gaze looked out at the flat night scene beyond the glass window. The sky seed carefree and cloudless, but in fact, the beast that had been lurking for a long ti was already unleashed, and co tomorrow, the entire business market would undergo an earth-shaking upheaval.
What is Mason Nightshade doing right now?
Is he in the office angrily throwing a tantrum, or is he directing his people on how to respond with restrained anger, or perhaps... he just sees her counterattack as a re itch, not worth his attention?
Aurelia guessed wrong.
That night, as Mason Nightshade was leaving the company, ready to return to Cloud Pavilion Garden, he received an unexpected call.
