Chapter 30 - He's still her husband

"Do you want me to intervene?" A soft voice came from behind before the seat beside him was taken. Tristan look to his side and smile. He patted her head before destroying her hair. Making Aurora glare at him as she push his hand away.

"It's not something i can handle. I'll only make a move if you he makes a move on your guy." Aurora rolled her eye.

"He's not my guy." She grumbles.

"Oh? We're talking about the same guy?" Tristan tease her more. Aurora ended up kicking his leg.

"I didn't expect William to be a person who's patience enough to wait quietly." Steven says while playing pool. He was playing against Derek who's good at the game.

"It's not him who's patience. More like the one behind him." Zeus drawled out. He was putting all the documents inside the bag before retreating to get himself a drink at a bar.

"Owh, you found out who's the one behind him? How did a genius like you manage to find out something that we, the expert can't? And we even have Darren and Carl as our hacker. But they still can't figure it out." Tristan was surprised. He's always amazed when Zeus shows his talent. It's limitless. He bets that Zeus can surpassed their two hackers or even better.

"Didn't you say i'm a genius? It was Aurora who guess it. I just do a little bit of digging."

"Who is it?" This time Steven is the one who asked.

"It's Mr Wayne." Aurora answered coldly. Her eyes had a glint of anger.

"What??? That old man? Why? Isn't Cole his beloved grandson? The one he chose to be his heir?" Tristan seem to be surprised. Who wouldn't be surprised. Afterall that's the man that's been taken under care by Aurora but yet to be able to feign some sort act, it's not his first time to do so. Aurora clench her fist ignoring the pain from her nails biting onto her palm. It was only Caleb who took a hold on her small hand that she finally realize she was bleeding. Caleb shot a warning looking at her. It's enough bruises on her arm due to her poison attack and from the constant poking from Caleb, he's not going to let her harm herself. Aurora let Caleb treat her bleeding palm.

"The reason, we're still unsure. But from i see, mainly because of greed. Why he chose William, is still unsure." Zeus said.

"Probably because William is the chosen one to be his heir while Cole is just someone black pawn that he use for their own pleasure. Look at the company now. Under Cole's guidance, they made it to international and became the most fearsome newbies in business industry. Giving them 5 years i bet it's easy for Cole to reach us." Steven made a deduction.

"That's laughable. Although i don't like that kid, but he's our man's sister. No one can bully our man's sister." Tristan announced. Ignoring the glaring eye beside him.

"Does Carl knows? How about us? Why isn't that old man making any move on us?" Caleb asked.

"He doesn't know much about us nor our status. Plus, Aurora cut off her ties with Cole. That's why he's not making any move. Even if he does, he'll only be overestimating himself." Zeus said.

"Carl knows." Aurora added.

Thinking how shocked Carl was when she told him about her suspicion. She was shocked at first when she found out by accident. Greed is a powerful sin. It can easily made someone having crazy imagination and act like it was the normal thing to do. If it wasn't because she was suspicious about William's move, she wouldn't found out about the person that she used to call as grandfather. She would never trust an outsider nor the so called family any longer. The past has repeat itself. But her heart feels uncomfortable thinking about Cole. How would he react if he knew. And what would he do? He's been working his entire life for his grandfather's company. Unexpectedly, he was just someone to be sacrifice for other people's sake. Her heart feels pain. He would be lonely. She knows his family never care much about him except for his grandfather. Now if things were like this, she would save him. He's still her husband.
