Me And My Billionaire Husband (Aurora and Heath) novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42

:

Ethan was captivated by that smile. This was no longer the chubby, clueless Aurora he remembered. She was so charming!

He’d had his share of younger girls trying to get his attention, but why did Aurora’s simple greeting, “Ethan, I’ve heard so much about you, sound so enchanting?

Ethan immediately extended his hand, “Nice to meet you, Miss Aurora.”

Aurora lightly touched his hand and quickly withdrew. Even from that brief contact, she could tell Ethan was interested in her.

Realizing he’d been a bit too forward, Ethan adjusted his demeanor, “You’ve changed quite a bit.”

Aurora ran her fingers through her hair, “Well, people need to change for good luck to come their way.”

Ethan chuckled, “You’re absolutely right.”

Sophia stood to the side, fuming as she couldn’t get a word in. She clenched her dress in frustration.

Turning, she went to find Madeline. Ethan didn’t even notice until Aurora said, “Oh, I hope Sophia isn’t mad.”

Ethan laughed it off, “Nah, she’s just a little temperamental. She’ll be fine.”

“You really understand Sophia. You two make a great couple,” Aurora commented.

Meanwhile, Sophia had already run off to complain to Madeline, her pretty face twisted in anger, “Mom! Aurora is a vixen! She’s completely bewitched Ethan. He’s mine!”

Madeline tried to calm her down, “Don’t worry, Sophia. I’ve found evidence that will ruin that wretched girl and get her kicked out of the Pendleton family.”

“Really? What evidence? Let’s expose her now!” Sophia urged.

“We can’t do it now. This is Mrs. Song’s birthday banquet. We can’t risk upsetting the Song family,” Madeline cautioned.

“But I can’t wait! I want Aurora out of here and away from Ethan now!” Sophia insisted.

“Sophia, let’s discuss this at home,” Madeline advised.

“What’s the point of discussing it behind closed doors? If Grandpa decides to protect her, all our efforts will be in vain. Since we have evidence, let’s make a big scene now so everyone knows what a lowlife she is!” Sophia was almost gleeful at the thought.

Madeline still felt it was too risky and sent Sophia away, advising her not to act impulsively. Sophia, wiping away a couple of tears, went to the restroom to touch up her makeup.

Aurora had just come out of the restroom and saw Sophia touching up her makeup. Ignoring her, she walked out.

Sophia slammed the door shut, “Aurora, have you no shame?”

Cornered in the restroom, Aurora crossed her arms, ‘Well, do tell, how am I shameless?’

“You know Ethan is my boyfriend, yet you still try to seduce him. You’re just like your biological mother, a vixen who only knows how to seduce men! Sophia spat venomously.

“Slap! Without hesitation, Aurora slapped Sophia across the face.

Sophia covered her face. This was the second time Aurora had slapped her! She’d never been humiliated like this before.

“Sophia, my mother has been dead for years. Show some respect and don’t insult her,” Aurora warned.

“It’s because your mother was so unlucky that she died early! She couldn’t steal a man from my mom, and you won’t steal Ethan from me! Sophia shrieked.

“Slap!” Another slap landed on Sophia’s face before she could dodge it.

“Sophia, let’s be clear. Your mom was the homewrecker who had three kids and drove my mom to depression and death. And you’re proud

of that?” Aurora mocked.

“Oh, and you’re worried I’ll steal Ethan away? Guess what, I will. What are you going to do about it? Oh, wait, you can’t even show your face now, it’s all swollen,” Aurora taunted with a sarcastic smile.

She pushed Sophia against the wall and walked out. Just as she left the restroom, someone grabbed her in the hallway. Before she could struggle or scream, she was dragged into a nearby storage room.

Aurora instinctively lifted her leg to kick but was blocked. She was pressed against the wall, unable to see the person’s face. She threw an elbow strike, hitting the person’s chest. Seizing the moment of their hesitation, she turned around, her hand clawing toward their throat. Her movements were swift, but the person was quicker, grabbing her wrist and pinning her against the wall.

Now, with her hands and feet restrained, Aurora was plotting her next move when she heard a familiar, deep voice, “Aurora, not bad moves.”
