Chapter 968 - The Competition Begins
The fragrant aroma of tea filled the room. Avrora felt a sudden tension in her chest and she held the white, glazed teacup in her hand, in which the tea bubbles seemed to form a beautiful flower.
She had always been proud and haughty. However, when her pride was taken as a joke by Wen Xinya, she felt extremely insulted and embarrassed. So what if she was jealous and angry? Without her grandfather’s love and attention, she was nothing. How then could she compare to Wen Xinya?
In fact, come tomorrow… she would be sent to the bed of a pervert and subjected to his torment, just so Duke Moville could stand to gain some benefits. Next… she would become a high-class prostitute of the upper-class society, surrounded by filthy and disgusting men from all walks of life. She would become their plaything and the tool they could use to vent their sexual frustrations.
She had practically plunged from Heaven to Hell.
She could not help but look up at Wen Xinya.
She then heard Wen Xinya say in a cold and menacing voice which was a little threatening, “Some idiot actually attacked Rex and me when we were on our way home from Duke Moville’s banquet. In order to protect me, Rex suffered a bullet to his arm.”
Avrora instinctively looked up at Si Yiyan, disappointed to realize that she could not see his expression because his features were concealed by his mask.
An icy cold gaze formed in Duke Moville’s eyes, though he did not show his emotions on his face. Pretending to be shocked, he said, “I didn’t expect that Rex would get attacked after attending the banquet. I feel really guilty about that.”
Duke Moville’s pupils constricted abruptly and an icy cold gaze formed in his gray eyes. After a moment of silence, he said, “Rest assured, Rex. I’ll be sure to inform you should I find out anything.”
The two of them brushed each other off in a mindless manner, though it was intentional.
