Chapter 619: Even the Air Feels Sweet
Aurora had been taken by Autumn and Caroline. They dragged her to an old tree nearby and tied her up. Thankfully, Aurora didn’t wake up on the way.
Even if someone found her, there was no evidence linking Autumn and Caroline. So Autumn wasn’t worried at all.

"You’re right. The director said it’s all fine now, so there’s no need to worry. Maybe she was just sleepwalking and ran into... someone..."
Dominic’s face was pale. She had always treated Aurora like a sister, and there was something off in Autumn’s tone.

Caroline shot to her feet, ready to fire back, but Autumn grabbed her arm.
Caroline noticed Brown staring at her with an icy look. The rest of the group looked just as cold. No one looked happy with her.
