Chapter 85 Fearless Aurora didn’t expect it to be Zac. If today’s wedding went smoothly, he should be celebrating it right now. Why did he come to find her? Aurora looked at the man in the car with a frown. If she got in, she would walk into a trap. “Mr. Buchanna, what’s up?” She faked a smile and yawned, “I’m tired. If you have nothing to say, I’ll…” Zac became impatient, and his tone deepened. “The police started to investigate Scott’s accident. Do you want to be sued again?” Aurora’s heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Davis wasn’t powerful enough to stop this kind of thing. Although Aurora couldn’t figure out what was on Zac’s mind, she reluctantly got into the car. The luxurious male perfume permeated inside. She vaguely remembered that Zac used to hate this smell.
People could change. Or perhaps, she never truly understood Zac. Aurora narrowed her eyes and decided to be proactive. “It’s not because I’m-guilty, but because I don’t want to be framed.” Zac chuckled. Aurora was startled. She thought to herself that Zac didn’t have any evidence, and as long as she kept her mouth shut, he could do nothing about it! Zac noticed her steely eyes. He tapped on his knee and said coldly after thinking for a moment, “The Buchanna Group didn’t plan to continue working with the Swon Group. Your ruckus helped me. I came to thank you.”
Aurora was dumbstruck to hear it. How could… The Swon group would lose half of its profits if the partnership ended. A person like Davis wouldn’t easily give up the gold mine, like Zac. Most importantly, unilateral termination of the contract would inevitably arouse suspicion from the outside world. Zac cared about the company’s reputation. Why would he be so eager to get rid of the Swon family? Zac said lightly after glancing at Aurora’s shocked face. “Is it not what you expected?” Zac suddenly grabbed her wrist and warned her, “There is a limit to my patience.” Zac kept her alive only because of that pendant. But she was still Shawn’s daughter. He had no sympathy for her. His hand slowly tightened. His face was stern. Aurora’s expression changed as she shook off Zac’s hand. “You won’t scare me! If you can prove it, call the police and ask them to arrest me.” She said fearlessly but her eyes flashed with despair. · Her words strike a chord with Zac. He suddenly withdrew his hand. Although Aurora was indifferent to him before, she would not have such an expression. Their gaze locked on each other. Then Aurora said impatiently, “If there’s nothing for you to say, please open the door. I’m not as free as you.” Zac waved his hand apathetically. As soon as the driver unlocked the car, Aurora got out and entered the building without looking back. She quickly went upstairs, got into her apartment, and walked to the window. Fortunately, Zac had left. Suddenly, her legs became limp. She slid against the wall and slumped to the ground. Clenching her fists, she relived the conservation in her head. Then, she slapped her thigh and yelled, “That’s right, Aurora. The next time you see him, challenge him like that! The worst-case scenario, irredeemable relationship.”
She had nothing, which became her sharpest weapon. She opened the refrigerator and gulped down a can of ice Coke. Then, she hummed and entered the bathroom. A few minutes later, she completely forgot about Zac. A week later. Malon’s jewelry design competition was held. All the interns and designers of the company could participate. Early in the morning, Aurora came to the company with a laptop in her arm. So did her colleagues who were sitting in groups. She came so early yet she couldn’t find a seat. Mary occupied a seat. She shouted, “Aurora, here!” Aurora rushed over and began to glean information. However, nothing came out. “We came here at five in the morning, but now, we still know nothing about the competition.” “I only knew that we will both have a preliminary round and the results today.” Mary surveyed the crowded hall and sighed. There were at least a few hundred designers. Only twenty could make it into the finals. It was a fierce match. However, Malon was the best company in the industry. No matter how cruel the competition was, people would not give up fighting for a position. “Rumor has it that today, several chief designers will be the judges. The investment company’s boss will be the special judge.” After that, Aurora took out her Bluetooth earphone and stuffed them into her ear. “Participants, please enter the venue.” Anna held the list and called out the name in turn. When she called Aurora, her tone changed. Her attitude also became much better. “Steps ahead. Be careful,” She reminded. However, Aurora wasn’t used to this nice version of Anna. “Number 98.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
After Aurora sat down, two more people came in. There were 100 participants in total. Aurora took a deep breath. Her heart was beating fast. Since the competition was started in rounds, one or two judges would be present. Macy left the hospital yesterday. If she was in charge of this group, Aurora would feel less uneasy. She wished it was Macy. She needed this opportunity! The door creaked. A slender and sexy woman walked in. Macy coughed and waved her hand. “Good morning.” YES! Aurora clenched her fists excitedly. She was lucky, but the next second, she felt the Death standing behind her with a sickle. Because the person who came with Macy was the special judge, her damned ex-husband, Zac.
