Chapter 303
She even used the same ruthless tactics she applied in the business world, showing no mercy at all. Julian’s eyes widened as he stared at Aurora’s phone. “Aurora Walton, you bitch! You’re completely shameless. That was low!” He hadn’t expected her to record him this time, too. Why was it that every time, he got caught off guard like this? He’d experienced such tricks before, but going through it again still left a bitter taste. Aurora raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t deception a part of strategy? And honestly, to deal with someone like you, do I really need to play fair?”
Her gaze was full of disdain as she looked Julian over from head to toe. She couldn’t believe this man could shout such things in front of Tessa, and in front of so many people no less. Wasn’t he the one who always cared about his pride? Did it not matter to him anymore? Julian clenched his fists. “Are you looking to die?”
He was just about to take a step forward when Tessa suddenly called out, “That’s enough!” Both Aurora and Julian turned to look at her. Tessa’s expression was ugly. “There are so many people watching. Don’t you feel embarrassed?” With that, she grabbed Rachel and walked away.
The Day Light Restaurant was indeed full of people watching the scene. She didn’t want to be tomorrow’s headline. Aurora thought the same. She gave Julian one last scornful glance and turned to leave. If there was going to be a headline tomorrow, she certainly didn’t want to be in it with him. Just thinking about it made her feel sick.
Julian glanced around as everyone left. He couldn’t bring himself to stay there any longer. The curious stares from all directions made him feel thoroughly embarrassed, a wave of shame and anger flooding his chest. He quickly strode out of Day Light Restaurant.
Once the main players had exited, the rest of the onlookers began to trickle out as well. There was no point in hanging around anymore. “Didn’t expect rich folks to be this dramatic,” someone said. “Seriously, a real-life scandal between a future brother-in-law? Wild.” “You have to admit, getting caught red-handed is the nightmare of a dining hall. That’s not something you see every day.” “Just proves that life in high society is far more chaotic than ours.”
As they exchanged comments, eyes followed Julian’s retreating figure with open mockery, and the sneers in their gazes were impossible to miss. Among the group stepping out, the most furious was Tessa. How dare Aurora act like that? She and Julian were still engaged, and yet she had the audacity to behave like that in public, tugging and pulling at him right there in front of everyone.
Tessa clenched her fists, seething inside as she started planning how she’d report this to her mother later. After all, she had seen it with her own eyes, and there were plenty of witnesses. If she didn’t speak up, her conscience wouldn’t let her rest. Besides, wasn’t Rachel there too?
With so many people around, even if Aurora wanted to deny it, there was no way she could get away with it now. Rachel was just as upset. She couldn’t believe she’d let Aurora intimidate her again. She could’ve fought back, but whenever she faced her, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of fear.
