But Eleanor Spencer could no longer be used; she was the one that listened to her among those won, though a bit foolish, she would have to settle for her.
"Excessive? I think it's not enough yet," a light, cool voice ca.
Alia Sherwood's body trembled.
Sophie Nye's face nearly fell apart.
Mason Nightshade leaned against the door fra, a faint smile on his lips that didn't reach his eyes, "How co I didn't know when I had such an intended fiancée?"
He took two steps forward, standing behind Aurelia Shaw.
His tall figure completely enveloped her, forming an invisible protective shield.
Alia Sherwood's eyes stung just looking at it.
This man, so outstanding, so perfect, how could any woman not be moved?
Why did it have to be Aurelia Shaw? Why couldn't it be her?
If only she had the chance, she definitely could...
No, she couldn't be too impatient. She had finally managed to enter the Nightshade Family's door, she couldn't ruin this opportunity.
Alia Sherwood blinked, her eyes reddened. Yet she tilted her head, seemingly deliberately covering it, forcing a smile on her lips, "Aunt Sophie was protecting , speaking recklessly, ah... Mason, don't take it to heart."
She was moved by her own dramatic performance, only to look up and see Mason didn't glance at her at all, carefully and tenderly holding Aurelia Shaw's waist as they walked away.
Fingers crushed in her palm, jealousy raged and surged wildly inside her.
Why wasn't it her?
Sophie Nye's voice sounded, "Luna, don't be discouraged, Mason was just montarily dazzled. As long as you try, you will surely win Mason's heart. I know my son; he likes your type."
"Thank you, Aunt," Alia quickly suppressed the jealousy in her eyes, looking gratefully at Sophie Nye.

Kai Nightshade sat on the living room sofa, his backdrop slightly desolate and lonely. Aurelia Shaw couldn't help but pause, Grandpa truly had aged.
She didn't want to reminisce about Grandpa's passing.
Taking the gift for Grandpa from her bag, she walked towards Kai Nightshade, "Grandpa."
"What's up?" Kai Nightshade said coldly, his eyes sneaking a glance at Aurelia Shaw.
Humph, she got divorced without a word, didn't even tell him, and after the divorce, she didn't co to see him once. He wouldn't forgive her so easily.
She must rember this as a lesson, so she wouldn't dare casually ntion divorce again.
Aurelia Shaw half-knelt down, handed the gift into his hand, "This is... a gift I want to give you."
She was too embarrassed to say the words "birthday gift."
With Grandpa's proud character, saying it would surely earn her a scolding.
Kai Nightshade opened it, seeing the exquisitely crafted brush inside, his eyes lit up. He forced himself to suppress his itching desire to imdiately examine it, coldly closed the box, and said flatly, "I know, I know."
"Oh."
Kai Nightshade paused.
Because that voice was very disappointed.
Just as he was about to say sothing to comfort this fragile-hearted girl.
He heard Aurelia Shaw sigh, "Sigh, I thought you'd like it. Never mind, won't give you gifts again in the future."
"You dare! Humph, not visiting for so long, you think such a thing can appease this old man? I'm telling you, visit twice a week from now on, clean the house and cook for . Only if you placate will I consider forgiving you or not."
