Chapter 1375
Megan nodded in satisfaction.
As expected, once Aurora learned the bracelet’s true worth, she couldn’t stay calm. That explained why Aurora had seemed so unfazed before–she simply hadn’t known its value.
“That’s right, it really is worth a hundred million,” Megan added. “And this bracelet is only ever passed down to the Carter family’s daughters-in-law. Looks like my aunt has already accepted you. Not only that, but she must be very pleased with you.”
Aurora held her wrist carefully, hardly daring to lower her hand. “I knew it was given to daughters-in-law, but I never imagined it was this valuable.” She glanced around, already searching for a box to tuck it away.
“What are you doing?” Megan asked, confused.
Aurora gave a helpless little laugh. “I’d feel much safer putting something this valuable away. Wearing it on my wrist makes me too uneasy.”
“It can’t be that fragile…” Megan muttered, though even she sounded uncertain. Maybe she shouldn’t have mentioned the price at all. Now that things had turned out this way, what if her cousin found out and gave her a scolding?
Trying to reassure her, Megan said, “It’s already yours now. No matter what happens, it doesn’t really concern them anymore.”
Aurora shot her a glance. “Forget it. Now that I know the price, I really can’t bring myself to wear it.”
And so, ignoring Megan’s attempts to dissuade her, Aurora found a box and carefully placed the bracelet inside. She planned to discuss it with Lucas later and decide on a proper place to store it. To her, the bracelet symbolized Diana’s respect, as well as her place as the Carter family’s daughter-in-law.
“Well, alright. Keeping it safe is a good idea too,” Megan conceded, giving up on persuading her. “By the way, is there anything you need me to do at the studio today?” Megan yawned, glancing lazily around the room.
Right now, the only work Megan wanted to do was accompany Aurora on shows. As for business matters, she neither understood them nor wanted to learn.
“Don’t be so lazy. There are things you really need to pick up on your own,” Aurora reminded her.
“Oh, but I’ve got you, don’t I?” Megan replied carelessly.
“I can’t always be by your side,” Aurora said, exasperated. She wanted Megan to grow on her own instead of hiding behind her forever. Otherwise, she’d never truly mature.
But Megan only shrugged it off.
As they spoke, Ian knocked on the office door. He greeted Megan with a nod before turning respectfully to Aurora. “Boss, I’ve finished measuring the data at the site.”
“Alright, let me take a look.”
Aurora stood up, casting a glance at Megan slumped in her chair, looking bored out of her mind. “You’re coming too. Time to learn how to read the data.”
“Me? Do I really have to?” Megan pointed to herself, face full of reluctance.
“Of course. I’m going to teach you a few things.”
Aurora grabbed her by the hand and pulled her along toward the meeting room. Megan’s expression screamed misery, but her feet betrayed her, obediently following Aurora’s pace.
On the way, Aurora called over two more employees. “You two come along as well. We’ll have a meeting together.”
