Chapter 18 Heath lifted his eyes , casting an indifferent glance at Aurora . ir some reason , just this one look made Aurora feel l that Heath was not pleased . For Was he unhappy because she said she wanted to become a star What a strange man . Heath merely looked at her once and then ignored her , continuing to chat with Grandpa . Grandpa and Heath's father were acquaintances , so Heath had taken time out of his busy schedule to come to wish him a happy birthday . Now , the Pendleton family seemed to be planning to expand into the capital , and they would need to rely more on the Fairbank family . There was much collaboration to come between the two families . Before they knew it , evening had arrived . Grandpa invited Heath to stay for dinner at the ancestral home , and Heath agreed with a nod after looking at Aurora once more . The kitchen at the ancestral home prepared dishes that Grandpa loved , and Heath seemed not to be picky , tasting everything that was served . Aurora , on the other hand , ate sparingly because she was on a diet . " Aurora's not eating much ? " Heath suddenly asked . " Don't mind her ; she's fussing about losing weight and not eating properly , " Grandpa said with a laugh . His tone was reproachful but affectionate . Aurora had been keeping him happy these days . " You still need to eat when you're dieting . Your health is important , Heath added . " Thanks for your concern , Mr. Fairbank Aurora said dryly . Heath frowned . Just a few days ago , she was calling him Heath , and now she had switched to Mr. Fairbank . This little girl sure has a temper . The entire dinner table was filled with conversation between Heath and Grandpa , while Aurora sat quietly . After dinner , Heath said goodbye to Grandpa , who said , " I'm getting old , Aurora , Help me see Heath off . " Aurora reluctantly stood up and escorted Heath to the gate , then turned to leave . " Come back , " Heath said . Aurora turned around and asked , " Is there anything else , Mr. Fairbank ? " Heath stepped closer , his presence overwhelming . Aurora retreated step by step until she was against the wall Heath leaned in , his clear and elegant scent enveloping her , and asked in a deep , magnetic voice , ' Are you angry ? " " No , why would a high school student like me be angry with you ? " Aurora replied . " You want to be a star ?" Heath asked again . " Are you concerned about my career planning ? " - / Aurora asked . " You can't be a star , " Heath stated . " What gives you the right to deny me like th that ? " Aurora said , her voice filled with resentment . " Because I rescued you from that broken alley . If the Pendleton family can reduce you to this state , the chaotic entertainment industry will eat you up until there's nothing left , not even bones ! Heath said , his face twisted in mockery . C Chapter 18 What had happened in that small alley was Aurora's greatest shame since her rebirth , a constant reminder that she was not Olivia . She was weak and fragile , easily trampled upon . Like the dying Olivia , scarred and broken , unable to save Mike no o matter how many times she dreamed of that midnight , only able to watch him die before her eyes .. " Even if there are no bones left , they're my bones ! You don't need to worry about it , Mr. Fairbank ! Aurora shouted . She was not like the other socialites in the city , seeking Heath's favor . She didn't need to listen to his scolding . She was Olivia , a killer seeking revenge , needing great power and lots of money . Heath grabbed Aurora's chin and sneered , " Challenging me ? Do you know what happened to the last person who did that ? " It was the first time he had been angered by a young girl . " Are you going to kill me , Mr. Fairbank ? " Aurora asked , her chin hurting but still defiant . " Aurora , you really are bold ! " Heath said . " I'm just a young girl , no need for you to worry ! " Aurora replied . Heath laughed coldly and let her go , saying , " You're right ; why should I care about such a small matter ? " Without waiting for Aurora's response , he turned and got into his car . Aurora could vaguely see the man sitting upright in the back seat of the luxurious Rolls - Royce as it drove away without raising a speck of dust , leaving her strangely breathless . She didn't know if it was because of their inexplicable argument or Heath's words about not caring about such a small matter . She shook her head in annoyance . Heath was indeed as capricious as rumored . It was best to avoid such a man . She turned and went back to the ancestral home . Chapter Comments
