At this time, Aurora was smiling thinly as she watch all the things that happen inside the meeting room. Having two hackers as her brother is not that hard to hack onto the surveillance camera inside the meeting room.
'One is impatient while the other one is sneaky as a fox. I wonder who should i deal with first.' she thought excitedly.
"It seems this William guy really really knows how to attract others. And it's easy to tell even that old man start to rely on that William guy." Derek mentioned as he watched all the commotion together with Aurora.
"It's a pity. Not knowing the one that he rely on will be the one that will bite him back. Revenge is such an ugly matter." Aurora said lazily as she toss the tab on the table.
"They wouldn't dare to oppose you if they knew the President of SKY is the one who became the temporary CEO. I really think you should let Zeus to handle this matter." Derek said grudgingly. He still don't agree that their president would take such a low position just for that guy sake.
"I'm just returning a favor. You know i don't like to be in debt. He tried his best to make things right but the world is a cruel place."
Derek nod his head. Knowing fully well what and who Aurora meant. He never leave her side the moment he was appointed to be his bodyguard. And even if he was given order to stay away, he still won't. It's something that he learn bitterly in the past. She was almost dead after getting shot while attending a ceremony. She asked him to stay at home because he was injured at the same time. And he reluctantly agreed to stay. Due to that stupid decision, they almost lost Aurora. He can never forget that day. It's such a crucial moment yet they let their guard down.
"But he still fail to protect you. You don't owe him you know that yourself."
"No. It's more than that. He doesn't know me but yet he's willing to do just almost anything to save my reputation while i was married to him. I'm still his wife now but i saw how hard he try to handle it." Derek stays quite. He know it too. He can't blame Cole 100% because the one that truly hurt Aurora and slanders with every chance they could get is his so called childhood sweetheart along with that Aurora's family.
"I've always wonder, you always help us to take revenge to those who harm us back then. But why is it you never take revenge to your family?"
"Revenge is a tiring matter. That's why i let them off. As long as they don't touch my brothers and touch my bottom line. I don't have anything that i want to take from that family. What i did for you guys because you guys are my bottom line. No one touch my person." Aurora said without hesitation. For her, it's easy to crush that family of hers. But for what? Because they abandoned her and asked her nanny to poison her everyday? She doesn't have any attachment towards them. So why would she want to waste her energy for them? Revenge? There's a whole lot more other stuff that she prefers to treasure.
"We could have do it for you. You're our bottom line." Derek said.
"Nah. They'll turn to dust if you guys took charge. Plus, it's a waste of effort."
Derek finally concede. Although he's not happy but since Aurora decided to let them off, they can't say anything. But it doesn't mean they will sit back quietly. All those slander and rumors that they created, they will give them back to them.
I know this chapter is not much but at least you'll learn more about Aurora's POV. She's not someone who's going to waste her time on her worthless family. For her, that's in the past and she never think of them as her family. Which is why she doesn't care. She only see them as germs that she can't see.
