angry.
Jaxon tightened his grip on the fork, feeling somewhat “Arora, Thomas is our guest. How can you be so rude? Apologize to Thomas!”
Thomas wore a self–composed and gentle smile. He would play the good guy when Aurora apologized to him, expecting her to thank him for casing the awkwardness and develop feelings for him.
In this way, Jaxon would also reward Thomas well. Remembering the piles of luxury items in Aurora’s room, Thomas looked at her as if he had found a gold mine. He could gain something practical while also being pursued by such a beautiful girl, greatly satisfying Thomas‘ vanity.
Aurora swallowed the food in her mouth and calmly said, “Dad, didn’t you teach me to pay attention to my demeanor while eating and to speak less? Why are you contradicting yourself?”
It was dinner time, and Jaxon did not want to talk to Aurora, so he used that excuse to shut her mouth and took the opportunity to belittle her, telling her to learn more about high society’s rules and not to behave like a bumpkin.
Now, being countered by Aurora, Jaxon felt very embarrassed but could only endure it.
After that, no one spoke. Aurora had already dealt with the restless Griffin, and he behaved much better.
Without those noises, Aurora felt very satisfied and quickly finished the remaining food. “I’m full, take your time,” she said and turned to go upstairs.
Jaxon felt frustrated and tried to save face by saying, “I apologize. Aurora has become so rude because I spoiled her.” Thomas noticed the strained relationship between Aurora and Jaxon and echoed a few words to avoid an awkward silence.
As soon as Aurora returned to her room, she received a message
Annie: [Aurora, are you there?]
Aurora: [Yes.]
Annie, who had been waiting by her phone, was ecstatic and immediately called Aurora, “Aurora, can you do me a favor tomorrow?” Annie gripped her phone tightly, feeling extremely nervous.
After listening to Annie’s request, Aurora felt somewhat embarrassed. “Actually, my relationship with Daxon isn’t that good. I’m afraid I can’t help with this.”
Annie was almost crying in desperation, pleading, “Aurora, I have no one else to turn to. To be honest, I saw her pinching a baby’s face with her nails, and that poor kid was crying loudly. She is terrifying!”
Hearing the tremble in Annie’s voice, Aurora hesitated and replied, “I’ll see. It might not work out.”
“Thank you, Aurora.”
After hanging up the phone, Aurora looked down at her hands, her expression somewhat strange. “I just pinched a child’s face, too. Griffin cried terribly, so am I also horrible?
“I heard that Annie had a hard time when she was with the Whitaker family, but I never thought she would be scared of an evil woman. Should I also restrain myself a bit?”
Aknock sounded on the door, and Aurora asked, “Who is it?”
“It’s me, Aurora.” Thomas‘ voice came.

Chapter 98
Upon hearing Thomas voice, Aurora’s expression darkened and became quite terrifying. In her previous life, the night Thomas returned with Griffin, Griffin had secretly brought him into her room while she was asleep.

Aurora woke up from her dream, screaming in fear, almost raped by that beast–like Thomas. While she screamed, none of the four came to help. They acted as if they were deaf. Eventually, it was the servant who brought a spare key to unlock the door
However, the culprits, Griffin and Thomas, faced no punishment at all. Instead, they placed all the blame on Aurora, claiming that she was trying to seduce Thomas at such a young age.
This time, Aurora dealt with Griffin, and he dared not assist Thomas again, but Thomas found his way to Aurora’s room on
his own.
“What are you doing here?” Aurora opened the door and looked at Thomas with a blank expression.
Seeing Aurora, who only reached his shoulder in height, Thomas stepped closer and took a deep breath. The fragrance of young girls reached his senses, making him feel hot.
Thomas thought, ‘Aurora doesn’t hold as much importance in Jaxon’s eyes as Maura does, so marrying her wouldn’t bring me many benefits. Still, Aurora is beautiful, and it wouldn’t be bad to have some fun with her.‘
Aurora felt disgusted by the strange expression on Thomas‘ face and didn’t want to hear his response any longer. Without another word, she slammed the door shut.
Thomas‘ nose was unexpectedly hit by the hard door, causing him to yelp in pain. At that moment of intense pain, he could barely feel his nose. Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably due to the sharp ache.
Thomas cautiously touched his nose, feeling dampness in his palms. When he looked at his hand, it was covered in blood. The door had caused his nose to bleed.
“Open the door! You better open the door!” Thomas was extremely angry. His nose was prominent and had an attractive shape, thanks to an expensive cosmetic surgery he had undergone. Aurora had ruined his nose, and he would not let her get away with it easily. “Aurora, open the door right now!”
The room was silent, without any movement, as if there were no one inside at all.
A hint of malice flashed in Thomas‘ eyes as he pulled a key from his pocket and inserted it into the lock, thinking, ‘Do you think I can’t get in? How naive!‘
Jaxon trusted Thomas, which was why he had him return Griffin and even gave him the key to Aurora’s room.
Aurora leaned against the wall, staring at the keyhole and listening to the faint sounds coming from it. She had a mocking smile on her face and thought, ‘Jaxon actually gave the key to my room to a stranger he just met today. Jaxon, you’ve lost your mind.‘
Just before the door opened, Aurora grabbed the doorknob and suddenly pulled the door open. Thomas did not manage to hold onto the key, and it got stuck in the lock, slipping out of his grip.
“Stop shouting!” Aurora said coldly.
Thomas didn’t care about the key anymore. What mattered most to him was making Aurora pay the price. “Look at what my nose has become!” he exclaimed angrily, pointing at his nose.
Aurora leaned against the doorframe and coldly replied, “So?” She pointed at the key on the door and asked, “How do have the key to my room?”
Thomas reacted quickly and retorted, “How would I know? Maybe you forgot to take it yourself.”
“Are you here to steal something from my room?” Aurora pretended not to hear his answer and directly accused him.

“You’re talking nonsense! I come from a prestigious university, and I have a higher education. How could I possibly steal your things? Be careful. I might sue you for defamation!”
At the same time, Thomas felt a bit anxious, thinking, ‘Why is Aurora acting so unpredictably? She’s a bit hard to deal with.
Aurora didn’t want to waste any more time with him. She swung her fist and hit him squarely on the nose. Her movement was quick and sudden, and Thomas didn’t have time to react. By the time he realized what happened, he had already stumbled back and crashed into the wall on the opposite side of the corridor, with his nose now crooked.
