Chapter 1226: Grandpa’s Sudden Change in Attitude... (6)
Aurelia’s face turned pale, uneasily glancing at Sophie Nye, then a smile magically appeared in her eyes, "You wouldn’t still think I’m afraid of you, would you? Mrs. Nye, I think you forgot, I’ve already divorced Mason Nightshade, I’m not your daughter-in-law anymore."
"Even if Mason and I remarry, it’s a matter between the two of us, we know what to do."
Sophie Nye’s expression turned unpleasant, she glanced at the surrounding servants who were eavesdropping, feeling utterly humiliated. Aurelia had never dared to speak to her in this tone before.
She opened her mouth to issue some threats, but remembered that Aurelia was no longer her daughter-in-law, she wasn’t entitled to order her around.
It took Sophie quite a while to squeeze out a cold smile, "Don’t think just because you have my son wrapped around your finger now, you can marry into the Nightshade Family again. Without my consent, you won’t take a single step inside our home!"
"Oh." Aurelia raised a smile, pretended not to hear, and walked away.
Sophie shouted harshly at her back, "Dad won’t agree to let you in either!"
Aurelia paused her steps, thinking of how Grandpa used to love her. If he heard she wanted to reconcile with Mason, he definitely wouldn’t object. But now Aurelia wasn’t sure anymore.
She wasn’t worried about marrying Mason, but about Grandpa’s sudden change in attitude...
She touched her right hand wrapped in bandages, knowingly aware that it had healed, but she was afraid others would notice something unusual, fear that they would think she was different from ordinary people, and look at her with strange eyes; so she kept the bandages on.
A body different from others is not something everyone can accept.
Though the wounds have healed, the pain from back then remains.
"What do you know?"
Sophie Nye’s body stiffened, almost immediately sensing the cold aura emanating from Aurelia, an eye so cold it seemed to kill.
She had seen this look before, but it hadn’t appeared for a long time. She hadn’t had contact with Aurelia for a while, subconsciously assuming her to be the same obedient person she once was.
Sophie soon realized that Aurelia was no longer the person she had control over. This woman was full of thorns, and she had Mason as her support...
Her eyes flickered, as she pondered how to proceed in the future. She couldn’t afford to tear things apart with Aurelia, or the one losing out would be her.
Her family no longer cared for her, and the old man wasn’t fond of her either. Only her son Mason remained, still grateful she bore him, but what if one day he remembered those things she did to him...
Or this woman whispered in his ear...
Sophie’s eyes flickered, revealing a smile under Aurelia’s gaze, "When you divorced Mason, the things you did to the company, don’t think Dad doesn’t know. You know better than anyone what Dad values most. He’s always treated you well, but yet you attacked the company, Aurelia, isn’t it a bit like repaying kindness with ingratitude?"
Her words struck a chord within Aurelia.
She frowned as if pondering something deeply. Sophie thought she was too guilty to speak, smugly laughed, regained her dignity in front of the servants, and swaggered away.
Aurelia made a phone call to Viscount Zhou.
Within half an hour, Viscount Zhou’s car was outside the estate gate. Lackadaisically, he dialed Aurelia’s cell, uttered only, "Come out," and hung up.
Having grown up together, there was no need for many words.
