Meanwhile , Aurora was taking a stroll in the garden when she overheard two servants whispering about something . She approached and eavesdropped from around the corner , hearing one servant say , " Did you hear ? Aurora is pregnant ! " Who ? She's pregnant ? " Yes , I heard . She got into trouble fooling around outside ! " the other servant replied . " But sh she looks really pretty now that she's lost weight . I think she's prettier th than all the other heiresses ! " " What's the use of being pretty if her character is bad ? No one taught her properly when she was young , " the servant Mrs. Harris said . " What are you talking about ?

" You wretched girl , you've only been in the Pendleton family for a few days , and you dare talk to us like that ? " Harris raged .

" Miss Aurora , we were just chatting . Besides , we've served the Pendleton family for so many years . We can say what we want , and the madam won't blame us , " Harris said , her tone mocking . In their eyes , Aurora was nothing but a neglected , fallen daughter . They had never taken her seriously in all these years . " Heh , you can say what you want , can you ? " Aurora walked over with a bright smile and suddenly slapped Harris across the face . Her daily exercise had given her considerable strength , and Harris's face immediately swelled . She , clutched her face , looking at Aurora in disbelief . " You … you … " " What about me ? Do you still think I'm the Aurora who used to swallow her pride ? I'll tell you , I'm the legitimate heiress of the Pendleton family . your master . If you don't know how to be a good servant , I can teach you myself ! " Aurora declared forcefully . Harris was so frightened that she stood frozen , unable to speak . Was this the same girl who used to be bullied ? Do you understand your mistake ? Or do I need to teach you again ? " Aurora asked coldly . " We get it , we get it , Miss Aurora . We were way out of line , " the two servants quickly said , their voices trembling at the thought of being slapped again . " Get out of my sight ! If I catch you gossiping again , you'll be out of the Pendleton family for good ! " Aurora commanded , her voice icy . The two servants grabbed their brooms and scurried away , their faces pale and their shoulders slumped , utterly defeated . Chapter Comments LIKE
