Chapter 76: James Spencer’s Will
Aurora hadn’t intended to explain anything to him. With Ryan Spencer in the room, she began to feel somewhat uneasy.
"Uncle, could you please tell me why you wanted me to come here?" she asked calmly, though her impatient gaze revealed her true feelings.
"Oh, Aurora, why the hurry?" Lorenzo chuckled, noticing that the girl seemed impatient.
"We don’t get to see each other often. How about we grab some lunch before diving into anything else? It just so happens that your Uncle Ryan is also here with us..."
Ryan Spencer could no longer bear Aurora’s neglect. He retorted, "Aurora, have you lost your manners? Your Uncle Lorenzo just asked you a question, yet you ignored him."
Aurora was surprised to hear Ryan Spencer’s words; she still tried to appear calm. However, her composure slowly faded when she heard Ryan’s following words.
"Oh, James, my brother, I feel deep sorrow for you. You diligently worked to send your little girl, Aurora, to the capital for her education. She hasn’t become smart; instead, she has become a rude city girl. A girl without lady’s manners."
Ryan expressed his sadness about his late older brother, his voice heavy with grief as his expression gradually became somber.
Aurora chuckled silently at her uncle’s insincerity. How could he express sadness over her father when their relationship had always been fraught during her father’s life?
"Ryan, let’s not lay any blame on your lovely niece," Lorenzo quickly said, noticing the surprise on Aurora’s face. He honestly didn’t want her to feel uneasy about the situation.
"But, Brother Loren..." Ryan can’t finish his words when he notices Lorenzo lifting his hand to stop him from speaking.
