It was the first time Lucy had seen Aurora like this.Feeling a bit intimidated, she nodded. “Yeah, he looked like he was in a hurry to leave. Probably something urgent happened at home. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be in such a rush to resign.”
Aurora sneered coldly at those words and didn’t respond.
She knew perfectly well why Hank resigned.
It was simply because he couldn’t bring himself to face her anymore.
Besides, being caught between her and Tessa wasn’t exactly a pleasant position to be in.
Aurora had already made up her mind.
With the contracts signed by the two CEOS in hand, she headed straight to the chairman’s office.
She knocked on the door, and only after hearing a response did she push it open.

Seeing that, she couldn’t hide her admiration.
“Not bad. You did well on this.”
She could be a strict chairman when she needed to be.
But when it was time to give praise, Grace never held back.

Aurora remained composed. “Madam, I came to ask you for a favor.”
Grace’s pleased expression faded when she heard that.
Looking at Aurora’s serious face, she realized this wasn’t something simple.
This child had always been independent.
Even when something happened, she usually handled it on her own.
This was the first time…
“What is it? Just tell me. You don’t have to hold back.”
Aurora recounted everything that had happened the day before in full detail.
Grace’s expression darkened.
Still, she instinctively defended Tessa. “That’s impossible. Your sister isn’t that kind of person.”
Aurora gave a bitter smile at that, then immediately comforted herself.
Wasn’t she already used to this?
“Even if you don’t believe it, the fact remains.”
