Top Actress Beware: Also Reborn Is Your CEO Husband!

What? When did Aurelia go to her school?

That little bitch, concerned about her?

Jovana cast a suspicious glance at Aurelia.

Aurelia glared angrily, shooting a look at the butler, "Mind your own business!"

The butler sheepishly closed his mouth, stepping back to the edge of the dining table, not daring to say more.

"Those few times I happened to pass by, so I went to the school and asked a few questions. Little Ru is very well-behaved at school. I was being redundant. You don't need to care about it," Aurelia explained nonchalantly.

She hadn't thought of using this opportunity to change her image in the eyes of Balthazar and the household staff.

But the more she brushed it off with a few words, the more it confirmed the butler's suspicions.

Aurelia had always been like this. Since losing her mother as a child, she kept her thoughts to herself, never talking to anyone. Even if she truly cared about someone, she wouldn't say it aloud.

"How is it redundant!" Balthazar said happily, realizing that Aurelia actually cared about Little Ru in private. "There's nothing wrong with a sister caring for her sibling. Little Ru, don't be too afraid of your sister. If others see, they'll think Aurelia is bullying you. How does that look? If you have something to say, talk to Aurelia directly. Only by talking it out can you avoid misunderstandings."

"Yes, Dad, I understand," Jovana said quietly, lowering her head, her fists clenched under the table, a glint of malicious coldness flashing in her eyes.

That damned little bitch! Making Dad misunderstand me, let's see how I'll deal with you in the future!

Clara's eyes twinkled. Smiling, she stepped in to smooth things over, "That's right, Little Ru. Aurelia might be strict with you sometimes, but it doesn't mean she doesn't care. You're the younger sister, so you should yield to your elder sister in everything. You mustn't compete for the things your sister likes, and you shouldn't talk back when she scolds you, understand?"

Strict? Scold? Listening to this, those who didn't know would think she was harsh on this mother and daughter pair. Forasmootherreadingexperience,visitMV&LEMPYR.

Jovana nodded obediently, "I understand, Mom."

Balthazar looked at Jovana's obedient demeanor, feeling a pang of guilt.

He felt indebted to this child. Aurelia had grown up with the best of everything at home.

But Little Ru was different.

Little Ru had never felt fatherly love in her early years, and as she grew up, she became so sensible, always yielding to Aurelia... Aurelia had a bad temper, and who knows how much Little Ru had endured over the years.

Balthazar felt he was a failure as a father, too irresponsible.

"What do you mean yield and not compete? Little Ru, you can buy whatever you like. I'll have the accountant give you an additional hundred thousand as pocket money this month." He thought: what he owed this child, he could only make up with money.

He couldn't do much about the past, but from now on, he would treat this mother and daughter better.

"Thank you, Dad,"

Jovana said obediently, but her peripheral vision glanced triumphantly at Aurelia.

Hmph, what does it matter that you're the daughter of the first wife? What else can Dad give you besides loving you a bit more, haha, even Dad doesn't know that this daughter of his actually isn't living well at all.

Soon, even Dad's love, I'll take that too!

A hundred thousand... Aurelia lowered her gaze, sarcastically thinking of this sum. Last night, she had Viscount Zhou help her buy two stocks, also spending a hundred thousand, but it was money she had struggled to save, cutting costs here and there. This amount to Jovana wasn't even enough for a necklace.

Balthazar hadn't stopped giving her pocket money, but Clara had taken that card away from her.

The excuse was to prevent her from developing bad spending habits, temporarily holding it for safekeeping, only giving her a few hundred every month, but to his own daughter, Jovana could spend lavishly.

Aurelia used to not care about this money.

When she ran out, she could borrow from Viscount Zhou, and she had so many socialite friends that she didn't have to worry about paying for food and entertainment. Everyone knew she was the Shaw Family's eldest daughter and wouldn't haggle over small amounts. After all, the business value she represented was worth more than a few meals.
