Forget it. Don’t provoke him, confronting him head-on will only end up hurting myself.
Seeing that she rarely didn’t talk back, Mason Nightshade’s anger subsided a little.
Walking downstairs, Balthazar Shaw and Clara Philips were sitting at the dining table, with Jovana Shaw sitting next to them, eating breakfast quietly with her head down. When she saw the two of them coming downstairs, she lifted her eyebrows and eyes, smiled sweetly, and said, "Sister, brother-in-law."
Aurelia Shaw admired Jovana Shaw’s acting skills from the bottom of her heart. Half an hour ago, she had just tricked her, yet she could still put on a smiling face. Truly one of those who had stomped on her in the past life; it’s not the enemy’s cruel tactics that are frightening, but the fact that they have a brain.
"Are you going to school after breakfast, Jovana?" Aurelia asked.
"Mm." Jovana nodded obediently, appearing a little apprehensive in front of Aurelia, as if she was afraid of accidentally upsetting her.
"I heard from your class teacher that you’ve been getting quite close to a boy recently," Aurelia inquired with a smile, her tone relaxed as if she had just thought of this casually.
Jovana looked as if she had heard sothing serious, her eyes widened in panic, "Sister, don’t misunderstand! It’s not what you think between him and ... Yan Xu and I are not like that. He is the class monitor, and I’m responsible for the study group. Our interactions are just academic. I would never do anything like what you did back in the day!"
Jovana blurted it out, realizing what she had said only after speaking, she regretfully covered her mouth, tears welled up in her eyes, ready to fall.
"I’m sorry, sister. I didn’t an to bring up that incident from back then. Please don’t be angry. Please don’t bla , Jovana is wrong, don’t hit Jovana," Jovana said crying, her face pale as if she often suffered Aurelia’s oppression.
Aurelia truly admired her ability to twist facts, fortunately, she is no longer the forr Aurelia.
"What are you talking about, Jovana? How could I bla you? That incident was due to the school teacher’s misconduct, and it was clarified later. Weren’t you there at that ti too?" Aurelia said with a smile.
"I...I..." Jovana’s face turned pale, stamring unable to speak, either from fright or failing to co up with an excuse.
Aurelia showed a lancholic expression, "Sigh, I just wanted to show so concern for you, didn’t expect to provoke your resentnt. I’m sorry, I will never interfere in your life again."
"No, no, how would Jovana dare to bla sister? It’s all Jovana’s fault, sister shouldn’t be angry with Jovana," Jovana said chokingly.
A hint of puzzling cold light flashed in her eyes.
Clearly, she was playing the victim, so how did it beco Aurelia being the weak one?
If this continues, wouldn’t all her advantages be gone?
"Forget it." Aurelia sighed, her mouth smiling, yet there was a faint sorrow in her eyes, "It’s been so many years, I didn’t expect you still couldn’t get close to . It seems so things truly cannot be forced. Well, let it be this way, I won’t interfere with your matters anymore."
"Ah!" The butler suddenly exclaid, his eyes brightened with a flash of realization, "No wonder the driver ntioned seeing the eldest young lady at the school several tis, I thought..."
Thinking of sothing, the butler’s words got stuck, a hint of awkwardness flashed on his face, cleverly skipped over it, and continued to say, "So it was to check on the second young lady’s situation. The eldest young lady truly cares for the second young lady, not saying it normally, even deliberately acting cold towards the second young lady, in reality, secretly caring and taking care of the second young lady all along."
