Aurora, once known as the top assassin, is reborn into the Pendleton family as the least favored and most ridiculed third daughter. Overweight? No problem, it's never too late to lose weight! Weak and powerless? No worries, it's never too late to rise! Timid and easily bullied? No matter, now's the time to transform into a cunning queen! After dealing with unworthy men and contemptible women, Aurora is ready to live her life freely and unapologetically. But the aloof and mysterious Heath comes forward with a question that changes everything: "When are we getting married?"
View MoreHeath led Aurora out of the elevator, and after a journey marked by countless stares and furtive glances, Aurora no longer felt like crying. She followed Heath into the office, her voice heavy with nasal congestion, and said, "You didn't have to postpone your meeting for me..."Heath smiled and replied, "It's no trouble, just a regular meeting."Aurora nodded, and Heath asked, "Did you see Madeline Pendleton?""Yes," Aurora said, "she revealed the truth about the past."Heath nodded, "Kieran has already informed me. Madeline's account mostly matches what we've found, but there's something else I need to tell you. Don't rush.""What is it?" asked Aurora.Heath took out a photo given to him by Aurora’s grandpa and said, "Your grandpa once asked me to look into your mother's past. The Pendletons doesn't know where she came from. Callista’s past has always been a mystery."Aurora was stunned and asked, "What have you found? Do you know where my mother was from? Does she have any family le
The lies she and Jasper Bennett had woven had somehow become a tangible reality. She and Aurora were indeed twin sisters separated by an ocean!She was meant to have a complete family, at least an ordinary childhood and life, but because of Madeline's selfishness, Aurora's family was destroyed, and she was forced to flee to a foreign land.Sebastian Pendleton, who had been sitting on the floor in despair, paused upon hearing these words, then burst into laughter. His crazy laughter gradually turned into a middle-aged man's sobbing; he knelt on the ground, buried his head in his hands, half-crouching, crying loudly.All the feelings that had not been expressed over the years, and the misunderstandings that had not been clearly explained, were resolved today. The noble and aloof woman had never betrayed him; she had even borne him a pair of beautiful twin daughters. Yet he, an idiot, had been thoroughly deceived by the viperous woman before him, abandoning his wife and daughters.At thi
Aurora looked at her coldly and said, "I'm giving you a chance, sis. You'd better understand the times. I will definitely investigate the events of the past thoroughly!""Aurora, you're just relying on Heath's support. Without him, what else do you have to show off?" Evelyn suddenly asked.Aurora was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Yes, you're right. I am indeed relying on Heath's support, and he will continue to support me. I can strut around all my life!"Evelyn stared blankly at Aurora. She had long forgotten when this girl's eyes had ceased to show timidity and fear. Now they shone with confidence, strength, intelligence, and acumen, glittering with the light of hope and suppressed flames of revenge, making her look distinctly beautiful with a touch of danger and allure.Evelyn realized that she had been too full of herself over the years, thinking she would always be the unbeaten darling of the entertainment industry, forever the radiant miss of the Pendleton fa
But in the past, the Pendletons was so grand and imposing. Even after relocating to the capital city, they were among the top families. How did they end up in such a state today?Aurora seemed to know what Sophia was thinking and scoffed sarcastically, "The magnificent Pendletons of the past was mine, not yours. I told you four years ago—if you didn't kill me, I would take everything from you: your emotions, career, reputation, family, even your freedom. It's all taken by me. The Pendleton family is mine; all the shares, the companies, the properties are mine. You have lost utterly, Sophia. Haven't you realized that yet?"Sophia stared at Aurora but remained silent, for she had nothing to say. She had to admit, Aurora was right; everything had been taken from her. She had nothing left, utterly defeated.Aurora smiled kindly, "But in the end, we don't have any deep hatred. If you leave the capital from now on, stay out of my sight, I might just spare you..."Sophia's eyes lit up, but t
Some cops suddenly barged in and grabbed Evelyn. Evelyn struggled and yelled, "What are you doing! Why are you arresting me!"Thane rushed over and asked, "What's going on? What did she do?"The cops said, "According to Miss Soraya, Evelyn Pendleton is the mastermind behind the kidnapping. We need her to come with us for questioning."Evelyn struggled and screamed, "It wasn't me! I didn't do it! Let me go! Thane, help me!"Just as Thane was about to step in, Heath gave him a cold look, and Kieran grabbed Thane, saying, "Sir, the senior Mr. Fairbank would never let you marry a criminal. Why bother upsetting everyone for nothing?"Thane knew his place; he couldn't mess with Heath. Even if he liked Evelyn, he wouldn't offend Heath for her. Last time, just because his little model pushed Aurora a bit, Heath had blacklisted that woman to this day. How much more for Evelyn? He couldn't afford to mess with Heath now or Aurora in the future.So no matter how much Evelyn yelled, Thane just sto
Aurora was totally done with it. With the way Elowen was looking, anyone who didn't know better would think Heath had done her wrong. But Heath didn’t care about this stuff, Aurora did. She didn’t want to hear anyone speak ill of Heath.So, Aurora said to Elowen, “Why do you always look at Heath like he’s wronged you? Anyone who doesn’t know the situation would think he’s done something terrible to you. But really, it’s all just a show you’ve put on yourself. All this talk about engagements, promises, feelings—it’s all just fantasies you’ve made up to fool people. You’ve told the lies so often that even you believe them now. The truth is, Heath has nothing to do with you. At most, he just met you a bit earlier than others. He never said he’d marry you, and his family never arranged any marriage.”Aurora made her point crystal clear, not for any reason other than to make sure everyone present understood that Heath hadn’t let anyone down.“It’s not true! You’re lying! It’s not like that
Elowen bolted downstairs the moment she saw Aurora and Heath about to come out. Catching sight of Evelyn, tears immediately started rolling down her face as she sobbed. Evelyn kept asking, “What’s wrong, Elowen? What happened?”Through her tears, Elowen glanced upstairs and said, “Aurora, she—she is with Heath, in the room—”Her voice was shaky and broken, and though her words were few, they were enough for Evelyn to picture the scene. Furious, Evelyn snapped, “That shameless tramp! Elowen, we can’t just sit back and do nothing!”Evelyn grabbed Elowen, determined to confront Aurora. She could tolerate Heath overlooking her, and even Heath being with Elowen, but not Heath tangled up with Aurora Pendleton. What was Aurora, anyway? Nothing but a child of no good! How dare she compare herself to Evelyn? And how could she possibly get her hooks into Heath? Evelyn was supposed to be the one marrying into the Fairbanks, especially since she was about to marry Thane.Aurora, arm in arm with H
Aurora shook her head helplessly and said, "Sis, you're hopeless. How on earth do you think you can outsmart me?"Evelyn didn't believe it. Staring at Aurora, she smirked sarcastically and said, "You're not going to tell me that Heathlikes you, are you? Or did he propose? Aurora, have you lost your mind again?"Aurora replied helplessly, "Forget it. Since you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do. Just remember, I warned you. You’re backing the wrong side here."Aurora and a few others, including CherylandVespera, went to the lounge area, grabbed some snacks, and sat on the couch chatting and eating. Cheryl sighed and said, "Aurora, is Evelyn kind of dumb or what?"Munching on a pastry, Aurora mumbled, "Who knows! Let's just ignore her."The three were chatting about recent life and gossip when a man, Maxwell, walked past. Aurora looked up, alarm bell
At the Fairbank’s.Evelyn was all dressed up today too, wearing a haute couture light purple evening gown, her noble and mysterious demeanor shining through. She held Thane's hand, navigating through the crowd, greeting the guests with a smile, fully embodying the role of a hostess.Thane was quite pleased. Evelyn was stunningly beautiful and eloquent, making her a great companion to show off. He planned to speak to his grandfather again—marrying Evelyn seemed like a good idea, especially since she was the only Pendleton left. Marrying her would be like inheriting the entire Pendleton fortune—a sure win.During a quiet moment, Evelyn found Elowen and asked, “Elowen, why hasn’t Heath arrived yet?”Elowen chuckled awkwardly, “Sorry, Evelyn, he’s too busy to make it…”Just as Elowen finished speaking, a commotion at the door erupted. Evelyn grabbed Elowen's hand, “Come on, let’s go see what's happening.”They approached the door, where many guests were buzzing about the two Maybachs that
