After getting off the plane, Aurora went straight back to the house of the Evans family.
The trees were thick and the phoenix flowers were blooming on the road outside the villa district.
In her impression, everything at home was the same as before. Outside the room she lived in before she got married, there were still vines climbing.
All the decorations and furnishings overlapped with her memory. However, Aurora was no longer the one she used to be.
In the past, for the sake of family harmony, she could endure a lot of things and do an elegant and calm lady of the Evans family. She should be responsible for indulged Frieda.
So, this time, she plucked up the courage to knock on her father's study door and told him everything that had happened abroad.
"What did you say? Your sister drugged you and hired several foreign rascals to rape you at midnight?" His thin face carried the pride of the older generation of intellectuals. He felt it funny. He took off his gold-rimmed glasses and looked at Aurora in disbelief.
"Aurora, did you quarrel with your sister?"
"No. I'm telling the truth." Aurora knew her father would be like this. She was brought to this family when she was fourteen years old. From then on, her clothes, food, transportation, and even the tuition were paid by Evans. However, her sister was brought up by her father.
In his father's eyes, he knew everything about Frieda, while Aurora was an outsider. Her father had never really understood her. And she also did not understand why her father was looking at her like this at the moment.
"Is it because of Dylan? He seems to be very popular with girls." After thinking for a long time, Harry Evans turned around and spoke.
It was rare for her father to think of such a dramatic story. In the past, Aurora would only sniff at it. How stupid was it to fight for a man?
But the arrogant girl was drowned in the end.
"Yes. Frieda liked him, for him..."
"Humph! I think you are eager to get the attention of Dylan, so you framed your sister like this!" His eyes flashed a gloomy cold light. He turned around and slapped heavily on the table carved out of pear trees. The heavy muffled sound made Aurora tremble.
What?
"She's only nineteen years old. How can you slander her like that? When she returns home after finishing her study, her reputation will be ruined by you. How can she socialize with the ladies in the upper class? How can she find a suitable marriage between the famous families in the upper class of the Sea City?" His father suddenly raised his voice. He didn't look sad for her at all.
"I didn't frame her up! She wanted my life!"
Aurora froze for a few seconds, and then her eyes suddenly turned red. Her heart was very uncomfortable, and she was almost out of breath after repressing for a long time. Tears welled up in her eyes. She came back from the dead and wanted to go back to the family at all costs. Was this the justice and answer given to her by her father?
She could feel such partiality from time to time, but it had never been so bloody without hiding.
Did dad think that she had no evidence?
"Aurora, you are the same as your crazy mother! Why do you want to say that Frieda is going to kill you? She has been following you since you were a child. You look down upon her and refuse her. Now she is more promising than you. Do you have to destroy her?" When her stepmother came up with the ginseng soup, she heard the conversation between the father and the daughter.
She put down the bowl heavily and rushed over, pointing at Aurora's nose and said she was ungrateful and vicious.
"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have agreed with Harry to pick you up from that countryside and live with you. Keep you out of school and let you know that the world was dangerous. You wouldn't have become an ungrateful wolf now!" The stepmother cursed her. Aurora was so angry that she clenched her knuckles, and her heart was almost torn apart.
"Just scold me! Why did you mention my mother? She is not a lunatic!" Her arrogant mother refused to accept the help of the Evans family even at the cost of her life. She was not a lunatic... Her eyes were like a bottomless abyss which made her stepmother afraid. But she immediately realized that it was a good chance to kick Aurora out of the house!
"If she was not a lunatic, how could she still seduce others when she is old. Before she died, she was still looking for some disreputable men to have a tryst, wasn't she?"
Aurora rushed up and slapped her stepmother hard.
Harry: "..."
Sandra: "..."
How dare Aurora, who has changed a lot, hit others!
"Harry, look at your daughter. She looked down upon me for more than one or two days. Now she slandered my daughter and even beat me. I don't think I can stay in this house any longer. When Frieda comes back, we will leave together!" Sandra was a good actress. Her tears immediately made Harry protect her more.
"Aurora! You are that woman's good daughter! You are so weird, cold-blooded, and ruthless. I thought my patience and education for so many years could change you…" "You just have been trying to convince yourself for so many years that you didn't do anything wrong to me and my mother." This time, the slap hit back heavily on Aurora's face. Her sight was completely blurred and she couldn't see anything around her. She could only hear Harry roaring:
"It's Aurora who should leave, not you!" He had already made up his mind. "Get out of here, I'll pretend that I have never had a daughter like you. I should let you go out to look for death so that you won't always regard yourself as a rich lady who is spoiled by the family and never know how to be grateful." Tears were in her eyes. It was the first time that she had complained to her father, and then it ended like this.
Aurora nodded and went out without looking back. The suitcase she took off the plane was put outside. She had expected such a result, but she did not expect that her father would choose her sister without any hesitation.
This was the answer she had been waiting so many years. She has never had a place in this family.
Then why did she come back?
It rained heavily. When Aurora pulled her suitcase and left, the Phoenix petals scattered all the way.
Her heart was gripped by loneliness. She was the only one who was struggling on the road. She was like the petals on the ground. Her dignity was trampled into the mud by others.
Where should she go now? Aurora didn't know.
She was confused. Because of her poor health, she went to college and stayed alone all year round to recuperate her health. She didn't have any friends, even a friend who can listen to her complaints.
As for her classmates, Aurora had been bullied badly in high school. She still couldn't get over it.
In the past, it seemed that only Dylan had become the only light in her feeble life.
But now, she had nothing!
The villa district of the Evans family was the best mansion district in Sea City.
The road outside was very spacious with four lanes.
The headlight of a Rolls-Royce made Aurora unable to open her eyes. But the people in the car had no idea who was dragging her luggage and walking at night.
It took a sharp turn and ran up the slope, and the mud splashed on her body.
"Dylan, drive slowly. I just got off the plane and felt dizzy. I'm still a little jet lag." The girl in the passenger seat leaned her head on the shoulder of the man in the driver's seat.
"I know, honey. But your sister might have gone home. Aren't you afraid that she will tell your father?" "Ha, what will she sue me for? As a top student of the Birmingham School of Film and Television, will I be jealous of her? She has nothing but the identity of the eldest daughter of the Evans family. How dare she break up with my father?" The car was driving very fast, and only the tail light was left after a turn.
But Aurora still heard clearly.
"After all, she is your sister..."
"Do you feel sorry for her? But I don't want to give you to her. Besides, we have found a way to get ownership of her mother's real estate. Why do we have to compromise?", said Frieda. She came back with Dylan.
Although Aurora came back to life, they didn't even bother to act this time. It was not until then that Aurora realized that Dylan wanted to be the heir of the Evans family from the very beginning.
What he wanted was not a reserved and gentlewoman. Mrs. Taylor could be her or her sister.
Aurora suddenly turned around and her eyes turned red. She was like an enraged beast in the chilly night wind.
