Chapter 85: So the Young Lady Privately Cares About the Second Lady So Much
Forget it. Don't provoke him, confronting him head-on will only end up hurting myself.
Seeing that she rarely didn't talk back, Mason Nightshade's anger subsided a little.
Walking downstairs, Balthazar Shaw and Clara Philips were sitting at the dining table, with Jovana Shaw sitting next to them, eating breakfast quietly with her head down. When she saw the two of them coming downstairs, she lifted her eyebrows and eyes, smiled sweetly, and said, "Sister, brother-in-law."
Aurelia Shaw admired Jovana Shaw's acting skills from the bottom of her heart. Half an hour ago, she had just tricked her, yet she could still put on a smiling face. Truly one of those who had stomped on her in the past life; it's not the enemy's cruel tactics that are frightening, but the fact that they have a brain.
"Are you going to school after breakfast, Jovana?" Aurelia asked. Content presented by MV|LEMP|YR.
"Mm." Jovana nodded obediently, appearing a little apprehensive in front of Aurelia, as if she was afraid of accidentally upsetting her.
"I heard from your class teacher that you've been getting quite close to a boy recently," Aurelia inquired with a smile, her tone relaxed as if she had just thought of this casually.
Jovana looked as if she had heard something serious, her eyes widened in panic, "Sister, don't misunderstand! It's not what you think between him and me... Yan Xu and I are not like that. He is the class monitor, and I'm responsible for the study group. Our interactions are just academic. I would never do anything like what you did back in the day!"
Jovana blurted it out, realizing what she had said only after speaking, she regretfully covered her mouth, tears welled up in her eyes, ready to fall.
"I'm sorry, sister. I didn't mean to bring up that incident from back then. Please don't be angry. Please don't blame me, Jovana is wrong, don't hit Jovana," Jovana said crying, her face pale as if she often suffered Aurelia's oppression.
Aurelia truly admired her ability to twist facts, fortunately, she is no longer the former Aurelia.
"What are you talking about, Jovana? How could I blame you? That incident was due to the school teacher's misconduct, and it was clarified later. Weren't you there at that time too?" Aurelia said with a smile.
"I...I..." Jovana's face turned pale, stammering unable to speak, either from fright or failing to come up with an excuse.
Aurelia showed a melancholic expression, "Sigh, I just wanted to show some concern for you, didn't expect to provoke your resentment. I'm sorry, I will never interfere in your life again."
"No, no, how would Jovana dare to blame sister? It's all Jovana's fault, sister shouldn't be angry with Jovana," Jovana said chokingly.
A hint of puzzling cold light flashed in her eyes.
Clearly, she was playing the victim, so how did it become Aurelia being the weak one?
If this continues, wouldn't all her advantages be gone?
"Forget it." Aurelia sighed, her mouth smiling, yet there was a faint sorrow in her eyes, "It's been so many years, I didn't expect you still couldn't get close to me. It seems some things truly cannot be forced. Well, let it be this way, I won't interfere with your matters anymore."
"Ah!" The butler suddenly exclaimed, his eyes brightened with a flash of realization, "No wonder the driver mentioned seeing the eldest young lady at the school several times, I thought..."
Thinking of something, the butler's words got stuck, a hint of awkwardness flashed on his face, cleverly skipped over it, and continued to say, "So it was to check on the second young lady's situation. The eldest young lady truly cares for the second young lady, not saying it normally, even deliberately acting cold towards the second young lady, in reality, secretly caring and taking care of the second young lady all along."
