Me And My Billionaire Husband (Aurora and Heath) novel Chapter 263

Europe.

After wrapping up a commercial shoot, Cheryl dined with several well known directors and screenwriters, making a memorable

impression.

Aurora then selected a new gift for Ms. Luce. Once everything was in order, the group embarked on their journey home.

Evelyn still reveled in the glory brought about by the European film festival, while Elowen suddenly became a household name designer back home. With her talent and striking beauty, she quickly rose to unparalleled fame.

Following her loss at the domestic film festival, Yvonne officially announced her retirement from the entertainment industry due to family and health reasons, stating she would no longer take on any commercials or drama roles.

Aurora, browsing the news, remarked, “Yvonne’s exiting showbiz for health reasons? She seemed perfectly healthy to me!*

Vespera chuckled and replied, “Her health is unpredictable; it fluctuates.”

“You seem to know more than I do!” Aurora said with a laugh.

Vespera just smiled and returned to her work without further comment.

Aurora scrolled through her phone. Heath had been quite busy lately, and their phone conversations were brief and rushed. Not wanting to intrude, Aurora focused on her studio work instead.

A month later, Vespera completed two more gowns, continuing the sheer fabric design element from before.

One was a dark ink–colored dress with a gradient at the waist, accentuating its slenderness. The sheer overlay was adorned with delicate embroidery, offering a subtly sexy and dreamlike beauty.

The other was a black strapless gown with a drape that felt very straight. The chest was decorated with lace embroidery, and while the dress itself was unadorned, the sheer fabric overlay sparkled with tiny diamonds. The combination of black lace, dazzling diamonds, and sheer fabric added a touch of mystery.

Cheryl wore these dresses to different events, receiving acclaim each time. The gowns perfectly showcased her sensual yet elegant, gentle yet mysterious charm. Fans praised Cheryl’s stylist, clamoring to “give the stylist a bonus!”

Cheryl’s repeated appearances in similarly styled and designed gowns sparked curiosity about her mysterious stylist.

Evelyn had been in a slump, paying little attention to Elowen, despite initially recruiting her to leverage Elowen’s design skills and awards

he city’s elite circles. However, none of Elowen’s designs for Cheryl had managed to outshine Cheryl’s current outfits.

Evelyn had gone to great lengths to uncover Cheryl’s current stylist, intending to recruit them just as she had Elowen. However, since the incident where Cheryl’s dress was ruined, Aurora had tightened control over her staff and thoroughly vetted new hires, leaving Evelyn without any leads on the designer.

Finally, after Cheryl’s repeated success in the spotlight, Aurora officially announced Cheryl’s exclusive designer: Vespera Thornfield!

As soon as the news broke, Vespera transformed overnight from an obscure college student to the darling of the internet, with her social media followers skyrocketing from a few hundred to several million!

The comments below her posts were unanimously adulatory.

“The talented lady from Imperial University! Cheryl’s go–to designer!”

“Cheryl’s recent gowns are stunning! Thank you, Miss Vespera Thornfield!!”

“Aurora has guts to use a college student as a designer!”

“What kind of dream team is this? Boss+ Celebrity+ Designer??”

“Excuse me, are you ladies looking for another BFF? I’m good at making coffee and giving compliments!”

“If I remember correctly, all three of them haven’t graduated yet…”

The buzz wasn’t just online; Imperial University had called several times, trying to get Aurora and her friends to come back for a lecture. Now, these three undergraduate women were causing a stir in the entertainment world.

Vespera and Cheryl’s dorm had been besieged, with people camping out daily, hoping to catch a glimpse of this goddess–like friend group,

To ensure Vespera’s safety, Aurora had someone move her belongings out early. The lease at her apartments, which Aurora had signed, was continually renewed. Cheryl and Daxton were still living there, and Vespera had moved in next door, making work much more

convenient.

At the Pendleton’s villa.

Aurora was chatting with her grandfather, who was very pleased with the progress of her studio and highly valued her business acumen. He had repeatedly suggested she return to work at the family business sooner.

Aurora had always demurred. Returning to the Pendleton Corp now would mean being completely overshadowed by Sebastian and Maxwell, which held no appeal. She planned to wait until she had more shares than Maxwell before taking over the family business.

“Ring Ring-

Aurora’s phone rang. She walked aside to answer it, asking, “Vespera, what’s up?”

Vespera’s voice came through weakly: ‘Aurora, save me!

Before Aurora could ask more, the call was abruptly ended. She quickly excused herself to her grand and leff with Jay.

Jay drove at breakneck speed to the Vespera’s residence. The security hadn’t even managed to stop Aurora before Jay pushed through, and

Aurora made her way unimpeded into the living room.

There, Vespera lay on the floor, apparently unconscious, her phone smashed beside her. Yvonne, dressed in home clothes, was directing

the household staff: ‘Hurry up! Get her into the car!”

Aurora was taken aback, not understanding why Yvonne was there, but the urgency of the situation left no room for questions.

“Stop!” Aurora commanded.

The servants paused and looked towards the door, as did Yvonne, who after a moment of surprise, smirked, “I thought this little wretch

was still obediently attending school. I didn’t realize she was accomplishing so much for you!”

Aurora frowned, puzzled by Yvonne’s familiarity with Vespera, whom Vespera had never mentioned to Aurora.

Ignoring Yvonne, Aurora turned to Jay, “Take her away.”

As Jay moved towards Vespera, Yvonne shouted, “Stop him! Outsiders have no say in the Thornfields‘ matters!”

Aurora then made the connection: Yvonne’s family was the very same Thornfield clan Vespera belonged to.

Aurora had no time to ponder these familial connections, as Vespera lay unconscious on the ground, possibly injured. She needed to get

Vespera to the hospital immediately.

“Yvonne, taking my designer away isn’t interfering with your family affairs. If you insist on obstructing us, don’t blame me for being rude!” Aurora said, signaling Jay with a glance, and Jay immediately moved forward.

“Let’s see who dares! Aurora, do you have any idea of my family’s standing? You’re in the Thornfields‘ house today; I dare you to lay a

finger on me!” Yvonne retorted haughtily.

In the entertainment industry, she couldn’t compete with Aurora because her family wouldn’t back her. But now, having left the industry,

she was the Thornfields‘ heiress. What was Aurora in comparison?
