So yesterday, she used shady tricks to snatch the collaboration project away from Isabella Whitmore's hands. That became her ticket into the Whitmore Corporation. But last night, Isabella was totally wrapped up all over Dominic, didn't even have time to care about Aurora wrecking her big plans. Who would've thought that overnight, Aurora Pendleton would swoop right into the Whitmore Corp, and even score the Deputy Director position? This chick is straight up bad news! She ain't here for some family reunion, she's here to snatch up their assets! She's basically a thief, a robber!Isabella didn't catch a single thing said in this meeting, or any tasks or goals set. She was just straight up death-staring Aurora like she wanted to murder her with her eyes, glaring daggers and wishing she could toss her out of this whole building!But Aurora was listening real intently to the boss's speech. Until it ended, and the chief suddenly asked, "Anyone wanna do some goal planning for the next hal

When Olivia was all in with Dominic, he kept her hidden, afraid others would find out he had a hitman who couldn't show her face. To be worthy of Dominic’s circle, Olivia paid with her life.But now, she's totally let go, feels relieved, and doesn't want anything to do with Dominic Ashcroft anymore, nor stand by his side. And suddenly, he shows up wanting to marry her.How ridiculous it is. The deaths of Olivia and many others suddenly turned into some trivial joke. The life and death of them all meant nothing against Dominic’s whimsical decision.Aurora wiped her eyes, looked at Dominic with a smile, and said, "What makes you think I’d want to marry you?"“Because I can give you the strongest support, help you quickly take over the Whitmores, because I’m one of the richest people in the US, and I promise I’ll be faithful after we’re married,” Dominic rambled on confidently, as if asking such a thing was a privilege, expecting any woman to kneel gratefully at his feet.But to Aurora,

Aurora blinked in surprise, scrambled out of bed, and asked, “What happened?”“Remember that project you were overseeing? The construction in the real estate district? A corner piece just collapsed,” her assistant said, voice trembling.“Collapsed? Did it hit anyone?” Aurora snapped awake and sat up immediately.Accidents on construction sites are no small matter. Collapses that result in fatalities aren’t rare, and if mishandled, the incident could blow up. The Whitmore Corporation would not only face public outrage, but the entire area’s investment plans could be ruined.“It did. A worker was right there and couldn’t get out in time. Luckily, it only hit his leg, and he’s been taken to the hospital. Ms. Whitmore is there calming everyone down,” the assistant explained.“Ms. Whitmore? Isabella Whitmore? What was she doing at the site?” Aurora was stunned.“Ms. Whitmore had lunch with some partners and stopped by the site to check on things, and that’s when it happened. She’s at the h

The woman didn't say the company wouldn't compensate or how much they would compensate, just that they wouldn't give a penny more. Crying and shouting like that made the reporters think that they refused to compensate or the amount was too little. But in reality, they were offering two million in compensation, which is hardly a small amount.When the reporters asked Aurora all those questions, she hadn't even answered yet when the woman grabbed her, asking if she agreed to the compensation. This question was full of hidden meanings. If Aurora hadn’t been in the entertainment industry for so many years, she might not have caught the trick.On the surface, the question seemed fine: “Do you agree to compensate?” But the problem was in how to answer. If Aurora said she agreed, then combined with their earlier conversation, it would turn into Aurora agreeing to compensate five million. The woman could then immediately tell the reporters, and if Aurora tried to refute, it would make the com

Mr. Whitmore was initially listening to Isabella talk about Aurora with some reservations. After all, Aurora had just taken over the work at the company, and there was already a huge mess that even involved the media. It was clear she might not have the skills needed for the job. He was even considering that if Aurora couldn't handle it, she'd have to give up her deputy director position. Not just anyone could fill that role.But now, with Aurora casually calling him "Grandpa," Mr. Whitmore suddenly forgot his earlier frustration. Aurora's resemblance to her mother, both in looks and demeanor, always made him feel a bit more protective and fond of her.Especially considering her mother had been away for over twenty years, and Mr. Whitmore hadn't heard anyone call him "Dad" in all that time. Bringing Aurora back home was a big deal, and hearing her call him "Grandpa" carried the same emotional weight as if his daughter had called him "Dad" again. It was enough to move him deeply."Auro
