Chapter 515 Aurelia Mapleton
There appeared to be a moment of hesitation.
Eventually, he gave Hazel a profound, meaningful look before turning around and walking away.
The courtyard of the Langford residence fell into a momentary silence.
No one had anticipated that Hazel, the chancellor of Jipsdale Martial Arts Academy, would arrive at this moment.
This seemed to confirm something for everyone present–that this young man named Emrys was indeed Larissa’s partner. The
rumors were accurate.
Otherwise, there would be no reason for Hazel to save him at all.
The reason the middle–aged man had just left was likely due to his apprehension towards Hazel’s identity. After all, her father, Pascal, was the guardian of Jipsdale Martial Arts Alliance Headquarters, not someone to be provoked.
The entire Langford family was overjoyed.
This was not just about Emrys being saved, but also a declaration to the world. Their Langford family had risen to align with the prestigious Mapleton family.
It was undoubtedly good news!
However, Emrys emotions were somewhat complicated.

Hazel refused to tell the truth when asked. After much difficulty, a trap was set to lure the hidden person out, but she came out and caused a disturbance.
If it weren’t for the fact that she bore him no ill will, Emrys really wanted to use a bit of force on her to teach her a lesson..
Smack!
After Hazel had dismissed the middle–aged man, she turned around and slapped Emrys across the face.
Emrys
However, this time, Emrys did not let her have her way.
Last time in Hazel’s office, there were no bystanders present, so Emrys had given her some leeway. But now, with so many people watching, Emrys also had his pride to consider.
“Let go!”
A flame of anger simmered in Hazel’s eyes as she spoke coldly.
Emrys, with a hint of frustration on his face, reluctantly released her smooth and soft wrist.
Hazel spoke with a tone of frustration; as if she was disappointed that someone wasn’t living up to their potential. “You want answers, don’t you? I’ll take you to find them right now. Since you’re so determined to die, I’ll make sure you die with a clear understanding. Come with me!”
The Mapleton family cemetery.

The tombstones, all belonging to the deceased members of the Mapleton family, were arranged in an orderly manner.
Only those of direct lineage could be buried in this cemetery. The branch families, those who had spread out and multiplied, unless they had made significant contributions, were not considered worthy of being laid to rest here.
Among them was a tombstone, with the epitaph inscribed, Initially pursued literature, yet failed to succeed in three years; later turned to martial arts, but due to a slip of the sword handle, accidentally severed a little finger; subsequently studied medicine, achieved some success, and composed a good prescription. Upon taking it, he passed
away.
Upon seeing this, Emrys burst into laughter. He thought to himself that this ancestor of the Mapleton family was indeed a talent. The fact that he could concoct a medicine that ended up killing him was truly something worth remembering.
He simply didn’t understand the purpose behind Hazel bringing him here.
Hazel remained silent, striding ahead without uttering a word. She didn’t bother checking if Emrys was following, leaving only her graceful silhouette behind.
Hazel walked on until she reached the gravestone with the smoothest stone surface. Only then did she stop, staring blankly at the tombstone.
Compared to the other tombstones, this stone grave was clearly the newest, likely no more than twenty to thirty years old.

The tombstone bore several large characters: Here lies Aurelia Mapleton, our beloved daughter.
At this moment, Emrys seemed to realize something. The amusement he had previously felt due to the peculiar tombstone. inscription was now replaced by tension and unease.
He hoped that his suspicions would not come true.
However, the ominous premonition in his heart was growing stronger and stronger, nearly suffocating him with its intensity.
Hazel gazed at the tombstone with a complex expression in her eyes. She didn’t turn to face Emrys, and in a gentle tone, she said, “Aurelia was both my sister and your mother.”
What?
Although her words seemed light and casual, they hit Emrys like a sudden shock, piercing his mind.
My own mother. Has she really passed away?
