Chapter 2100


    Chapter 2100 Waiting for His Next Move


    Not long after that, Hannah called again while sounding angry. Although she was younger than Aurora


    and her wealth of life experiences did not necessarily match up to thetter''s, she had kept tabs on all


    that had happened to Aurora the entire time.


    Hannah did not mention anything about lying low this time while this incident blew over. Instead, she


    took Ian''s side and insisted that the person who extorted Aurora for money would bear the brunt of his


    own actions.


    She also added that thepany would take over the matter from now on; while it concerned only


    Aurora for now, it was a matter of time before Ian got dragged into it.


    Ian''s contract was still ongoing, and anything that happened to his interests directly affected the


    On the other hand, Ian visibly rxed after hearing that thepany would handle this. Hannah didn''t


    say much else throughout the call, and she hung up a minute or twoter.


    Presently, Cindy had finished making dinner and brought the dishes out to the table, whereupon she


    saw Aurora sitting on the couch with a tired look on her face.


    Naturally, anyone would be exhausted and perplexed after encountering something like this. It wasn''t


    as if ckmailing incidents such as these could be easily avoided nor anticipated.


    The worst part was that they were dealing with a person who did not appeal to good sense and insisted


    on being unreasonable as well as demanding. Hence, the only thing that could result from such an


    incident was an overwhelming amount of frustration.


    Cindy set the table, and when she was done, she beckoned Ian and Aurora for dinner. Then, she


    addedfortingly, "Don''t worry, things will be solved before you know it. What matters most is that


    you know you aren''t in the wrong." She paused before going on to ask, "Aurora, do you still have those


    texts he sent you? We need every bit of evidence we have to turn this narrative against him."


    Upon hearing this, Aurora turned on her phone. "I do have the texts, and I remember replying to them.


    See, they''re all here." It was as if she had suddenly gained a sense of direction, and she pulled up the


    conversation she had with the man after her phone was turned on. In his texts, the man imed that he


    had started a new life and that he wished Aurora well. Toward the end, the conversation took a sour


    turn, and the man began to badger her about getting back together. She had kept all these in her inbox.


    When Aurora thought about how reluctant she had been to delete these messages before, she wanted

    tough at her hesitation. However, in hindsight, keeping these messages turned out to have its uses.


    Aurora quickly captured the conversation and sent the pictures over to Hannah, whoter replied by


    saying that there was nothing to worry about since they clearly had the upper hand right now. She also


    told Aurora that she could rest easy now that thepany was dealing with this.


    Not much was said during dinner that night, and Cindy could tell that Ian and Aurora were both in foul


    moods.


    She wanted to cajole them at first, but she knew that as things were, sce meant little to both mother


    and son. She figured that the only way to reassure them was to allow this whole thing to take its natural


    progression, and when thepany stepped up to deny all rumors, the problem would be solved and


    things would be back to normal.


    As such, Cindy ate her meal in silence.


    They were only just done with dinner when Aurora''s phone rang, and when she nced at the caller


    ID, rage colored her expression.


    It was a call from that infuriating man. He discovered that Aurora''s phone had been switched on, so he


    was calling to pester her and continue with the threats.


    Cindy wasn''t sure what the man was thinking. Does he actually think he has what it takes to stir up


    trouble for us on the inte?


    After all, theizens were not easily misled. The man could say whatever he wanted, but in the


    absence of solid proof, Ian could take legal action against him and rally theizens'' support, thereby


    flipping the narrative.


    More importantly, the inte was not free from the rule ofw. The man had to be a real simpleton to


    believe that a lie or two could create scandal enough to bring down Aurora and Ian''s respective


    careers.


    On the other hand, Aurora did not answer the man''s call. She put the phone on silent mode and


    ignored him.


    In all honesty, Cindy thought it would be much simpler to ignore the man and leave him hanging.


    Money was probably tight for him if he was desperate toe here and demand it. He might even be


    staying in some motel, and he wouldn''t have the budget for meals and expenses for more than a


    couple of days. At some point, he would be forced to leave when his money ran out.


    She went over to the sink and washed up the fruits while Aurora and Ian sat on the couch. They were


    both scrolling through their phones and trying to figure out what the man''s next move could be.


    They would much prefer the man to make a move so that the matter could be concluded, but if he were


    to drag this on, it would only be a waste of their time.
