Things ended predictably. The birthday party ended unhappily ahead of schedule.
Many of the guests who were invited to Aurora’s birthday party were respected figures in the business
world. After such a commotion, each of them had their own ideas about the matter.
When she was leaving the venue, Stella turned around and glanced at Aurora’s father who had a pale
face. She asked the man beside her softly, “Do you know what is going on?”
The corners of Clarence’s mouth quirked up, “No. But I know someone who is aware about this.”
Stella was puzzled, “Who is it?”
After they exited the banquet hall, William walked up to them, “Mr. Conrad, Ms. Radomil.”
Stella nodded at him in greeting, “Mr. William.”
Clarence said calmly, “After such a big incident with the Barton family, it might affect future
collaborations between both parties. Is Mr. William just going to leave?”
William laughed and answered with ease, “After all, this is someone else’s family matters. I will not be a
help to them even if I have stayed.”
“Is that so?”
William did not reply his question anymore and looked at Stella instead, “Does Ms. Radomil have any
arrangements tonight?”
Stella did not know what he meant by asking this. After her mind had gone blank for a few seconds,
she gently shook her head, “No.”
“Then let me treat Ms. Radomil and Mr. Conrad to some beverages.”
Stella opened her mouth and turned her head to look at Clarence before she spoke. The latter lifted his
brows.
It meant that he agreed to go.
Stella replied, “Sure.”
Although she had only met William for a few times and did not have a good understanding of him,
William and Clarence had collaborated in the past. They might want to talk about something that was
inconvenient to be discussed between the two of them and so they needed her presence in their
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdiscussion.
On the top floor of the hotel, there was an open-air soft drink bar.
They found a table at a quiet corner. After sitting down, Stella said, “I will go to the bathroom. The two
of you can talk.”
Who knew that just after she had gotten up, Clarence held her wrist, “Don’t you want to know what the
incident tonight is all about? You can go later.”
When a waiter was taking their orders from William, Stella took advantage of the situation to sit down
and ask softly, “Didn’t the two of you have something to discuss?”
Clarence replied, “Who told you that I have something to discuss with him?”
“Then…”
At that moment, William spoke, “Ms. Radomil, what do you like to drink?”
Stella took a look at the menu, “Two glasses of grape juice, half sugar, thank you.”
The waiter acknowledged her words and left.
Clarence was gently tapping his long and slender finger on the table. The corners of Clarence’s thin
lips turned upwards.
William had a glance at Clarence before looking at Stella again and slowly said, “I just heard that Ms.
Radomil is curious about what happened to the Barton family tonight.”
Stella pursed her lips and nodded her head gently.
If this incident was done by Clarence, she could still figure out the reason.
However, Clarence said he was just there to watch the drama.
In that case, what happened to the Barton family today was very fishy.
Stella paused for a while and then said, “Based on Mr. William’s words, you are clear about what the
incident tonight is all about?”
William replied, “I cannot say that I am fully clear about it, but I heard of a rumor by chance. I previously
thought that it was false and did not take it seriously. However, I have no choice but to believe in it
today.”
……
At the same time, at the other side.
After all the guests had left, Aurora threw a fit and smashed everything that could be smashed in the
hotel.
However, she was not able to vent out all her anger despite doing that.
She needed to know the cause and effect of this matter. She had to figure out what was going on.
Aurora exited the banquet hall and stopped a hotel staff in his tracks, “Have you seen my father? Do
you know where he is?”
The staff said, “No…No…”
Aurora pushed him away at once, “Good-for-nothing!”
The staff backed to the side. He was angry but didn’t dare to speak anything.
Aurora searched the hotel for her father for a long time and found his father’s assistant in front of the
door of the lounge.
Aurora was about to go in, but the assistant stopped her, “Ms. Barton, the chairman has ordered that
nobody can enter the lounge.”
Aurora frowned unhappily, “Does this instruction apply to me?”
“Well…”
Aurora shoved him out of the way with one hand, “Stay out of the way, useless idiot!”
While speaking, she turned the knob of the door of the lounge and pushed the door with force.
The door slammed into the wall with a loud bang.
Aurora’s father turned around and furrowed his brows, “Aurora, what are you doing again?”
Aurora ignored him and stared at the other woman in the room fiercely, “What is this crazy woman
doing here! Tell her to get out!”
The woman looked at Aurora. She was in tears and was filled with sorrow, “Aurora, I am really your
mother…”
“You shut up, shut up, shut up!”
Aurora dashed towards the woman as if she had lost her mind, but her father held her back.
Aurora’s father said sternly in a deep voice, “Aurora, calm down.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“How am I supposed to calm down? Dad, are you just going to let this crazy woman slander me?”
“You need to stop calling her a crazy woman.” Aurora’s father turned his gaze towards the woman who
was sitting on the sofa and let out an inaudible sigh, “She is indeed your biological mother.”
Aurora widened her eyes incredulously, “What are you saying?”
More than twenty years ago, Aurora’s mother really wanted to have a child although she was
diagnosed with infertility. Aurora’s father adopted several children privately, but there were no family
bonds between the children and Aurora’s mother, no matter how hard they tried.
Aurora’s father had no choice but to send the children back.
Shortly after that, Aurora’s mother came up with an idea. She would find a woman on behalf of her
husband.
Once the woman was pregnant, she would announce to the public that she was pregnant. After the
child was born, the child would become her rightful child. She would regard the child as their own
biological child and treat her properly.
At first, Aurora’s father strongly disagreed with the idea. But Aurora’s mother kept on pestering and
coaxing him into carrying out her plan. Moreover, the woman Aurora’s mother found for him was young,
beautiful, gentle and considerate. In the heat of the moment, he did something stupid.
In less than a month, the woman was pregnant.
And the child conceived by the woman was Aurora.
After ten months, the child was born. According to the previous agreement, Aurora’s mother should
give a sum of money to the woman and then she would disappear from their sight.
Unexpectedly, Aurora’s father developed different feelings towards the woman after they had spent
time together for months. He found all kinds of excuses so that the woman could stay for a longer time.
Even though he had never said it verbally, Aurora’s mother could notice his intentions. When he went
on a business trip, she took advantage of the situation to send the woman away overnight.
From then on, they had never seen each other.
This incident became Aurora’s father’s biggest concern that had been troubling him for a long time.
After Aurora’s mother had passed away, he made many attempts to find the woman but to no avail.
He initially thought that she didn’t exist in this world anymore.
After listening to the whole story, Aurora laughed coldly, “You expect me to believe you after listening to
your words? I can tell you that there is no way that I will believe in this. Never!”
