She pained for a secrust and added, “Oh, by the way, there’s been a blood agate making the rounds on the black market recently. That’s probably hers. You might want to follow that lead”

Most importantly, the blood age was the very same one his mother had bought at an auction as a birthday gift for his sister on the day she disappeared
Aurors looked tom. This wasn’t exactly something she could explain. In her past life, Annie had been found two years later. By then, due to a serious back injury, she could barely walk, and the Harrisons had ended up finding Maura first. That was how Aurora had learned what Daxon’s
Twe told you everything I know. As for how I know sorry, that’s personal. I can’t explain, but that doesn’t change the fact that you can find her based on the Aurora replied.
That was all she could say. If Dason didn’t believe her, there was nothing she could do.
Daxon studied Aurora up and down. She looked young, with soft baby fat still lingering on her face, her brows slightly furrowed, eyes serious. She didn’t look like she was lying
He said. “You better not be playing me. Anyone who tries to trick me on this doesn’t end up well, you know. But if you’re telling the truth, the entire Harrison family will owe you The crown is just a deposit. Once we find her, whatever you want, Ill make it happen.”
Aurrew that since she hadn’t explained much. Daxon still had his doubts. She spoke in a serious tone, “You’ve helped me, and I wouldn’t lie to
you
Daxon nodded slightly, not saying whether he believed her or not. Instead, he turned to Harry and told him to find a nearby mall
When the car pulled up in front of a mall, Aurora furrowed her brow in confusion. Why are we at a mall?”
“Your dress is dirty” replied Daxon curtly.
Aurora glanced–down and noticed the state of her gown–streaked with half–dried muddy water, smudging the car’s interior. Feeling embarrassed, she muttered. “Sorry for messing up your car.”
Daxon’s expression had already returned to one of cool politeness “It’s fine. If you can help me find Annie, I wouldn’t mind giving you the whole null’s wardrobe
He led her straight to the top floor, where various luxury brands were displayed, each one more extravagant than the last.
“Pick whatever you like” Daxon said his tone casual, though his words were anything but that. Though he offered, Aurora didn’t take much but just grabbed a few outfits that were practical She didn’t even bother trying them on, simply asked for them to be packed up, and then chose a fresh set to wear on the sprit
After shopping, Aurora opted to take a cab home instead of having Daxon drop her off.
Maura had been waiting by the door, and when she saw Aurora step out of a taxi, she visibly relaxed “Aurora, didn’t Mr. Harrison give you a ride home?
“He had something to take care of, Aurora repla
replied.
Typical, Maura thought, assuming Aurora had been snabbed With a sympathetic sigh, she said, “Well, a man like Mr. Harrison has high standards. Don’t let it get you down”

oing to get anything van of Aurora, she watched as Aurora made her way upstairs without another word.
Macy felt much Hunte at cave after confirming there was no tral commection between Jason and Daxon. She thought. No way am I going to let Amormoverihadow my daughter. Even if Daxon takes a liking to anyone from our family, it should be Maura:
With that ti mund, Stavy stopped Autora. “Your current priority should be studying hard and getting into a good university. Don’t waste your time an other things. If you behave and do as you’re told, I’ll transfer you 15 grand every month for living expenses”
Heh, as if I don’t know what’s going on. Stacy thought to herself. ‘Maura’s monthly allowance isn’t less than 150 thousand dollars. Does Stacy really Think I m a fool‘
“And hand over the bracelet. Il return it to Mrs. Newton, Stacy added, pausing for effect before scolding Aurora. “You really overstepped today. If Mr. Harmon hadn’t been there, do you really think Mrs. Newton would’ve let you off the hook?”
Aurora almost laughed out loud at Stacy’s twisted logic. So after I’ve already offended the Newtons, Stacy still want me to grovel and make amends! Clearly, Stacy doesn’t just think I’m an idiot–she thinks I’m completely brainless, thought Aurora.
stacy, doesn’t your son still want to get into the Harrisons‘ school” Aurora shot back.
You: Scary’s words choke in her throat.
“And even though Daxon and I don’t have any special connection, if you dare return that bracelet–the compensation Daxon asked for me–to Beatrix, let’s see what he’ll do. Aurora threatened Stacy.
“Well, what are you even going to do with that bracelet?” Stacy don’t need any allowance from the family after all,”

Aurora firully paused and–step, turning back to face Stacy, arms crossed. “Stacy, let’s be real. People might call you Mrs. Crawford, but let’s not forgel, you’re nothing more than the second wife of my dad”
She then shot Stary a glare and continued, And here’s a friendly tip–whatever allowance Maura ge account, not a cent less. Otherwise, by tomorrow, I’ll make sure everyone in Mereida knows the Crawford family is mistreating me.

Stary was left clutching her chest in anger, her breath catching. She was so furious that she thought she might drop dead before she even had chance to get the bracelet With Jaxon nowhere to be found, she didn’t even have anyone to complain to.
All Stacy could do was glare daggers at Aurora, but Aurora couldn’t be bothered and strolled off
