Chapter 12
“You have no right to scold me, Mr. Sander,” Amma said.
Her attitude instantly enaged Sidney. He replied, “I’m Whitney’s danced. Why don’t I love the right to scold you? Even as the son–in–law of the Klein family, have all the night to warm you!
“Step making Whitney feel troubled, and stop making any further mistakes. Know your place and do your part. If you insist on spiraling downward any further. what awaits you is the abyss. Did you not leam your lesson in the past? If it weren’t for the Klein family and Whitney’s acceptance of you, you would’ve gotten exposed and sent to jail with no chance to go abroad!”
Sorrow and disappointment filled Sidney’s eyes as he recalled the past. “I can’t believe you’ve
into someone like this!
“Whitney really spent a lot of time brainwashing you, huh? 19s you really believe I went abroad because of her lowly tacties?” Aurora asked calmly despite the
“ch, Mr. Sander. At first, I thought you were just young and dush, and that’s why your have trouble differentiating between the Enith and lies. But it turns out your brain has nevei progirard and is stuck in the past. Well, considering vout 10 and ego, I guess à foolish life mits you better.”
Aurora glanced at him before turning to the side and left.
“Hald it, Aurora! What do you mean by that?” Sadney could tell the sarcasm in Anna’s wond
He couldn’t believe such harsh and stinging words had come from the one get woman for leew!
“I meant what I said,” Auenca replied. “just go home and take good care of your woman. Make sure she doesn’t cause any more trouble. I’m boy and have no time todeal with her and her hitchy altitude “
“yen keep saying my woman this, thy woman that. Weren’t you also my womancece?” Sidney was enraged by Aurora’s detached and indifferent attitude.
He couldn’t accept how cold and distant she was to him. It was as if they were strangers
Aurora chuckled and calmly said, “You know very well for yourself if i was ever your woman. Although the numges about us were campant back then, we know
deadly what was the truth.”
Sidney’s expression tumed sour
“Thave very high standards for my partner Indeed, 1have jun interest in any common man, including you, and it has always been this way
“I didn’t explain back then because I was being considerate of the Sander and Klein families, Ghen how rampant the numors are, would I even be standing here today if I really cared about them? Do you understand now, Mr. Sander??
Sidney was stunned as he stared at Aurora. Her eyes were clear and sincere, showing no sign of lying. However, Sidney refused to believe and acceptic!
Whitney mentioned before that Aurora was gival at attacking and condenming others to regain her pride. It seemed like she was doing it right now!
Halmost forgot how good you are at making excuses,” Sidney jeered.
Aurora sighed in resignation. She had no desire to say any further.
sidney looked at Aurora’s back and said with a cold laugh, “If you never liked me, why can’t you let it go after so many years? And why did you return after knowing I’m getting engaged to Whitney? If you really didn’t like me, why did you ask the school’s radio broadcast to play ‘Because You Love Me on my birthday?
“Oh, Aurora. Are you that pathetic that you can’t even admit your love for me? I’m so disappointed with how you’ve turned out!”
In the end, Sidney let in a fi of rage
Aurora had no idea why Sidney suddenly got so angry and threw such a huge tantrum. It was so ridiculous. How could he be so emotional?
1 Aurora told Sidney she had been busy studying, taking exams, and gaining experience, would he believe her? And if she told him she requested that song becaus It was for Helena, who birthday was on the same day, would be believe her?
However, whether Sidey believed her or not had nothing to do with Aurora
Besides, that song wasn’t even about mantle love. It was dedicated to friends!
Aumra shook her head and walked toward the faculty building. Suddenly, her keen senses spotted something, making her look up.
She saw towen’s cold figure standing on the balcony on the third floor.

“Hi, Professor Reed. Are you done with your classes? William smiled as he approached Aurora.
Aurora remained calm and greeted him in retum.
you came just in time for dinner! How about you join us? Come, let me introduce you to someone,” William said.
“Professor Reed, this is the CEO of Qorix Corporation, Mr. Owen Jenson. I believe you’ve met each other before. Mr. Jenson here is very interested in your study in quantum mechanics. Join us for dinner! And then we can continue sharing our opinions on this.”
William was passionately introducing Aurora to Owen
“Nice to meet you, Professor Reed,” Owen greeted calmly yet pretentiously.
Aurora raised her brows and nodded. “Nice to meet yo
| you too, Mr. Jenson.‘
Since the higher–ups had personally invited Aurora for dinner, she had no reason to reject them.
They had their dinner in a private dining room specifically arranged by the university.
Usually, someone like Aurora would never be seated beside a high–status man like Owen. But since she was the only woman out of the dozen people present at the dinner and she studied quantum mechanics, making her the exact person Owen was looking for, William pushed her forward as soon as she entered the room.
“Here, ladies first. Please sit over there, Professor Reed, William said.
Aurora was seated beside Owen while William sat on his other side.
Aurora and Owen were the main characters at this dinner. The rest sat according to their levels.
Aurora felt somewhat awloward. After all, she was the only woman at this dinner, and seated beside her was her new husband, but she couldn’t reveal it to the public.
