Still, none of these resources were compatible with Aurora's current value, and Hannah had probably guessed what was going on, so she didn’t put much emphasis on Yulia during her discussion with Aurora.
Hence, Aurora felt less burdened for accepting these resources after Hannah’s persuasion.
After pondering for a while, Cindy remarked, “To be honest, it’s good that we are able to get these resources, so let’s think of things in an optimistic way and not be burdened. It could be possible that the investors figured we’d be suitable for this role since they obviously seek mutual benefits.”
Aurora gave Cindy a grateful look. “It’s great that Ian picked you over Yulia, as you’re way more rational than she is.”
Despite knowing that it wasn’t a suitable time to do so, Cindy still couldn’t help herself and laugh. “I finally have something better than Yulia now.”
Cindy quickly shook her head. “That’s not true. You’re way better than her in many aspects. She may look outstanding because of her familial status now, but she’s really nothing compared to you if you were to remove her background from her.”
However, the main thing was that there was no way to eliminate those external things, and all external things served to give people extra points. Nevertheless, it wasn’t as if Yulia had nothing good about her without her background and status, as she was still a competent person.
After Aurora and Cindy left the elevator and sauntered around the community area, Aurora tried to comfort Cindy so that she wouldn’t overthink and burden herself.
“Honestly, I can reject those sponsorships and backers if they don't sit well with you because I haven’t gotten them yet.”
Still, Cindy quickly shook her head. “You should accept the help the company gives you. They wouldn’t have done it out of our relationship only, as we are collaborative partners with their company, after all. Now that you’re getting more popular, you might even give them more exposure. Since it’s a win-win situation, you don’t have to overthink it.”
Aurora chuckled. “You really know your way around words. You’re such a precious gem.”
Upon hearing Aurora, Cindy laughed as she found it childish that the two of them were complimenting each other as if they were promoting each other on social media.
After walking for a while, Aurora changed the topic and asked, “What’s the situation at your place now? I really want Ian to have the opportunity to visit one day, if it’s possible.”
Aurora had been really annoyed by Yulia’s constant watch over them. Although Aurora was looking forward to more fame and fortune in the entertainment field, she knew not to cross any lines.
On the other hand, while Ian’s work was smooth right now, he’d still have to return to his life.
With the amount of fortune that Bryce left Ian, he would be able to live however he wanted without worrying about getting shackled down in the entertainment field.
Thus, Aurora really wished that Ian and Cindy would be able to get married as soon as possible. At the mention of her own family, Cindy couldn’t help but feel helpless, as she didn't know where to start.
Although she didn’t have a complicated family background, she just couldn’t bring herself to talk about it. Every family had its own problems, and the dynamic between the family members differed for each.
Cindy was generally a cold person. It was mainly due to her family condition when she was growing up, causing her to be unable to warm up to others because she couldn’t feel much warmth from her family previously.
After pondering for a moment, Cindy said, “My mom hadn’t been doing anything besides chilling at home, so all of it depends on Ian’s schedule. Still, it seems like he won't be able to come over anytime soon because he's been swamped recently. I guess we will have to reschedule for another time when he's less busy.”
Right then, Aurora contemplated for a while before she exclaimed, “Hurry up, you two! Once everything is set, these outsiders won’t be able to interfere with your relationship anymore.”
Knowing what Aurora was trying to say, Cindy smirked a little. “I understand.”
When Cindy thought about it, she realized that Aurora’s sudden shift of attitude toward her was baffling.
Initially, Aurora looked down upon her. However, she was too lazy to make any moves to actually stop Cindy and Ian’s relationship from maturing because she felt like they would remain the same without her involvement.

So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
