    Chapter 1865


    Aldor spoke in a firm tone,ced with a hint of sarcasm, not too loud but clear enough.


    Aurora was taken aback. She had always seen Aldor as someone who rarely lost his cool.

    He had always been the epitome of politeness at work, even when Aurora, in a fit of anger, had once


    scornfully called him the Kane family''spdog. Aldor never snapped back.


    She had little regard for people like Aldor, who, in her eyes, would bend over backward to please their


    superiors.


    Not long ago, when she was relegated to a lower-tier department, her confrontations with Aldor, both


    overt and covert, had been frequent. Keegan, their boss, had tasked Aldor with supervising her.


    Aldor always seemed to assign her more challenging tasks than others. Whenever she submitted a


    report, he would scrutinize her work far more than anyone else''s. His criticisms were sharp. "How is


    this data analysis? Where''s your month-to-month, year-to-yearparison?”


    “The title is catchy, but the content? It''s iprehensible.”


    "Did your university guarantee a pass to all its students? I can''t fathom how else you came up with


    such a report.”


    “Don''t include my name as your auditor. I refuse to be associated with this.”


    Aurora, despite her privileged upbringing, had always been a decent student. Her grades were


    consistently above average, a fact she took pride in.


    Her peers, who barely scraped through their courses, eventually returned to their affluent lives,


    inheriting family businesses. Aurora, having never failed a subject and maintaining a respectable GPA,


    considered herself an excellent student.


    But to Aldor, her academic achievements meant little. Her initial days working with Aldor were filled with


    resentment.


    She had chosen to start from the bottom, as per Cordelia''s advice — endure all hardships, but never


    quit. Quitting meant she could never work at Vinci Rivera again.


    Despite being on Aldor’s radar, she neverined to Cordelia.


    After being released from confinement, nightmares had haunted her - memories of being bullied. She


    resented Ste and Keegan deeply.


    Yet, these feelings paled inparison to the hurt caused by her friends’ mocking and sarcastic


    remarks.


    “Aurora is so naive. If I were her, I''d have befriended Ste long ago. It''s clear Keegan is still smitten


    with Ste. Win over Ste, and Keegan would shower her with even more wealth.”


    "She''s the most foolish person I know. Always antagonizing Ste, hoping for their divorce. And now?


    She never imagined that one impulsive act would lead to Keegan having her locked up.”


    "She''s lucky to be born into such a family. Despite her foolishness, we have to maintain a facade of


    respect.”


    Her friends’ughter echoed in her ears, one adding, "She mightck brains, but she''s stunning. If


    Keegan wasn''t so protective, I''d have pursued her myself. She truly believes she''s a princess, all


    because of how we treat her. Without her brother''s influence, she''d be nothing.”


    “That''s enough. Let''s not upset our princess. After all, she sees you as her hero.”
