"Aurelia, I really..."
Bang!
Aurelia Shaw had already hung up the phone.
Clara Philips gripped the phone so tightly that the anger in her eyes was almost bursting out.
"Mom, how did it go? Will she be back tomorrow?" Jovana Shaw asked anxiously.
"That little brat didn't fall for it," Clara Philips said resentfully.
"Then what are we going to do? What if she shows up at the gathering tomorrow? Wouldn't she steal my spotlight?" Jovana Shaw frowned.
That damned Aurelia Shaw was always getting in her way.
She really wanted to kill her!
If she had that ability.
Clara Philips cupped Jovana Shaw's cheeks, "Don't worry, Aurelia has never liked attending these kinds of occasions, she might not go. The dress I had custom-made for you was finished today, we'll try it on tomorrow. Wearing that dress, you'll definitely be the center of attention, and the son of the Bradford Family will surely fall for you.
My darling is so beautiful, if he doesn't fancy my darling, then he's blind."
Jovana Shaw was flattered and began to feel smug.
...
Aurelia tossed her phone aside, thinking: What is Clara Philips up to again?
Feeling uneasy, she called the butler's private number at ho and, knowing her father's health was now fine, she breathed a sigh of relief and reminded him to take good care of Balthazar Shaw.
Mason Nightshade entered the room to see her sitting on the bed, a laptop on her lap, her slender fingers gliding over the trackpad, eyes focused intently on the script.
"Drink the milk first."
Aurelia looked up at the glass of milk, instinctively resisting.
Mason Nightshade's gaze flickered subtly, and seemingly nonchalantly, he took a sip himself and handed it to her again, "It's freshly ward by Mrs. Ron, drink it first, it helps with your sleep issues."
Only then did Aurelia accept and drink it.
"There's a gathering tomorrow, want to co with ?" Mason Nightshade asked, sitting at the edge of the bed.
Aurelia was chatting with Caleb, "Director Fan, when will we start shooting?"
"I've found a replacent for Yvaine's actress. Once the crew is ready, we'll start filming, I'll contact you then."
"Okay."
anwhile, Sawyer also sent her a ssage on WeChat.
"My dear aunt, I have an amazing script here for you, take a look, you won't be disappointed!"
He transmitted so data over.
Sawyer, who knows when he started the habit, always called her "aunt" whenever he needed her help.
In the beginning, he was shy about calling her that, but later on, he sohow got used to it.
Sighing inwardly, Aurelia accepted the file while turning back to answer Mason Nightshade's question.
Very straightforwardly, "Not going."
"It's a private gathering, co with ?" Mason Nightshade said, teasing her lips with his fingers.
Aurelia lifted her almond-shaped eyes to look at him, keenly detecting sothing, and put the laptop aside, allowing him to playfully tease her lips till they were red and swollen, vivid and alluring.
She softly asked him, "What's wrong with you?"
"You tell what's wrong," Mason Nightshade gazed at her swollen lips, eyes burning with intensity, lowered his head to kiss them, and with a hoarse voice said, "Having a wife but not being able to show her off, that feeling is tough to bear."
Aurelia thought for a mont, attending such private gatherings wasn't really out of the question, after all, the attendees are all from the upper echelons of society, and they wouldn't gossip idly.
Moreover, with the Nightshade Family suppressing it, who would dare spread rumors about the Nightshades?
She wasn't afraid of that at all, just a bit lazy to leave the house.
