The lies she and Jasper Bennett had woven had somehow become a tangible reality. She and Aurora were indeed twin sisters separated by an ocean!She was meant to have a complete family, at least an ordinary childhood and life, but because of Madeline's selfishness, Aurora's family was destroyed, and she was forced to flee to a foreign land.Sebastian Pendleton, who had been sitting on the floor in despair, paused upon hearing these words, then burst into laughter. His crazy laughter gradually turned into a middle-aged man's sobbing; he knelt on the ground, buried his head in his hands, half-crouching, crying loudly.All the feelings that had not been expressed over the years, and the misunderstandings that had not been clearly explained, were resolved today. The noble and aloof woman had never betrayed him; she had even borne him a pair of beautiful twin daughters. Yet he, an idiot, had been thoroughly deceived by the viperous woman before him, abandoning his wife and daughters.At thi

Kieran left immediately, and Alaric also realized that something was amiss. He dropped his smile and said, "Heath, could it be the Pendletons seeking revenge on Aurora?"Heath shook his head: "No, I've had people watching that mother and daughters; I would know immediately if they made a move.""Could it be Maxwell then? Wasn't he harboring ill intentions towards Aurora? It’s possible for such a person to turn love into hatred, right?" Alaric suggested.Heath paused, looked at Alaric, and replied, "Speaking of turning love into hatred, Maxwell isn't the only one capable of that!"Alaric was stunned, incredulously asking, "You mean, Elowen?""With her personality, hasn't she been unusually quiet lately?" Heath countered.Deep down, Alaric didn't want to believe that Elowen would resort to kidnapping, especially since they had grown up together as friends. Even if their feelings had changed, he still hoped she remained kind-hearted and didn't want her to be a ruthless person who would s

The girls who weren't tied up exchanged glances and replied, "SALE, haven't you heard of it?"Aurora shook her head blankly. SALE? Was it a promotional mall? Why was she brought here? As forced labor?The girls snickered silently, and Aurora, growing impatient, demanded, "What place is this, exactly?""It's what you call a red-light district, only more luxurious and more brutal. Those of you who are tied up are either sold or abducted, while we are here voluntarily," One of the girls replied. Aurora cursed internally. Elowen, that little bitch, had sold her into an international version of the red-light district?Aurora looked at them and asked, "There are people who come here voluntarily?"One girl nodded and said, "This place is full of high-ranking officials and rich heirs. Just getting close to one can bring in unimaginable amounts of money."Aurora clicked her tongue and said, "I don't need money, can they just let me go?"The girl shrugged, "Once you're here, unless a client bu

Aurora threw off the covers and got out of bed, flung open the bathroom door, and rushed in to turn on the cold water. Standing under the showerhead, she tilted her head back as the icy water cascaded over her head and body, temporarily quenching her anger. But it wasn’t long before the discomfort returned, crawling over her like ants. Aurora felt a deep, piercing pain throughout her body, terribly itching and aching. Lucas whispered into Dominic’s ear, “Bro, what do you think of that blonde girl?” Dominic glanced over dismissively and said, “Merely gaudy and vulgar.” Lucas moved closer to look at number eight and remarked, “You like that type? She obviously looks wild and untamable!” Dominic smirked, suddenly reminded of a girl who had been with him for over a decade, equally stubborn and wild. Heath watched on the screen as Aurora first stood under the shower, then submerged herself in the bathtub, holding her breath, and finally sat in the cold tub, banging her head against t

When Alaric arrived with the doctor, he pushed open the door into the living room and shouted, “The doc’s here, Heath!”From the bedroom came a furious shout, “Get out!” followed by a vague sight of a lamp being hurled toward the doorway.Alaric: “...”Eamon looked around at the clothes and shoes scattered all over the living room and heard faint sounds from the bedroom. He patted Alaric on the shoulder and said, “Let’s go, we don’t need the doctor. Heath’s handling it himself.”Alaric: “...”So, they had been busting their backs all day for nothing, and in the end, Aurora was fine?Eamon dragged Alaric and the doctor out of the room, locked the door for them, and went back to his room to sleep soundly. Today, no matter what happened, even if it was the end of the world, they weren’t going to bother Heath, or it’d be the end of them.The next day at noon, Aurora finally woke up groggily, feeling like a truck had rolled over her, with every bone seemingly broken and reattached. She man
