Chapter 642: Eyes Full of Emotion
Aurora felt awful. She had grown up in someone else’s home, always watching her tone, reading the room. Even now, living on her own, she still had to deal with Mrs. Wilson’s attitude.
Her life had been nothing but suffocating. She wanted to talk back—but out of respect for her uncle, who had always treated her well, she bit her tongue.
"Auntie, if Kimi didn’t like the gift, I’ll just send him money. Please help him buy whatever he wants," Aurora said calmly, though inside, she was boiling. Wasn’t family supposed to be supportive? Since starting her career, she’d given nearly two million to Mrs. Wilson.
But in her aunt’s eyes, it still seemed like Aurora owed her everything.
"Well, that works too, haha. Honestly, I get it. Grandma doesn’t like you, so it’s understandable that you wouldn’t want to come," Mrs. Wilson’s tone suddenly softened.
Aurora felt sick. The only reason she’d called was for money.
Her uncle’s business hadn’t been doing well these past few years, so Mrs. Wilson’s personal allowance had shrunk. Whenever she was short on cash, she’d come to Aurora.
"Okay, I’ll transfer it now. Gotta go," Aurora replied blandly and hung up.
Mrs. Wilson let out a satisfied little laugh. That laugh reeked of smugness.
She knew Aurora would never tell Mr. Wilson about these things. Out of gratitude for being raised by him, Aurora had always avoided creating tension between the couple.
Aurora opened her phone and transferred money via an app.
