Chapter 182 Revenge


    Chapter 182 Revenge


    "Officers, please take her away!" Amanda requested.


    In a hoarse voice, Aurora cried out, "Have youpletely disregarded the sisterly bond we''ve had


    for so many years, Amanda?"


    Amanda reacted as if she had just heard the most absurd joke. "Sisterly bond? I originally came


    from better origins than you, but Natalia caused my mom''s death and turned me into what I am


    today. And now, you want me and Helena to be your murder tools... It''s ironic that you can still


    bring up the sisterly bond we''ve had!"


    She gritted her teeth fiercely, seemingly suppressing intense anger. "You''d better think about how to


    exin your involvement in moneyundering for drug traffickers!"


    The police showed no mercy and promptly took Aurora away.


    "Helena... " Amanda almost lost her bnce. "How many... How many years do you think she''ll be


    sentenced to?"


    Helena immediately supported Amanda. Her eyes were filled with tears as she replied, "For


    something this serious, even if not sentenced to death, she would be sentenced to over ten years of


    imprisonment."


    With a sharp voice, Amanda eximed, "But I want her to die... I want her to die! They deceived us


    for so many years, and it has brought us to this state. I want her dead!"


    Helena remarked, "I know... I know it all, Mom. Please don''t cry. We''ve taken revenge for the deep-


    seated grudge. Shouldn''t you be happy?"


    Amanda murmured, "Yes... I should be happy. But... But I''ve been utterly ruined..."


    Even if Aurora were to die, Amanda couldn''t bring back her mom, nor restore her original status.


    Her entire life had ultimately been destroyed.


    ...


    "What?" The pen in Vivian''s hand dropped to the ground as she uttered in disbelief, "What did you


    just say?"


    Jonathan''s voice was exhausted. "Vinny... Your mom is in trouble. The police have taken her in for


    investigation. They imed she had beenundering money for a drug trafficking organization for


    many years and has received substantial kickbacks I''ve hired awyer, but they said the best-case


    scenario would be still ten years of imprisonment... Vinny,e back as soon as you can. We need


    to visit your mom."


    Vivian immediately got up and hurriedly rushed to the staffroom to request leave.


    Cassidy frowned and asked, "What''s wrong with her? Why is she so agitated?"


    Cecilia raised an eyebrow. "Oh? She''s ditching herdylike persona?"


    Eloise also asked, "What''s happening in her family? She looks quite anxious." She poked Charlotte,


    who was solving math problems, and questioned, "Char, do you know?"


    Charlotte''s hand came to a halt, and she responded, "I have no idea."


    ...


    "Mom, are the things they said true?" Vivian asked, struggling with her words.


    Aurora remained silent for a moment and said, "You must find the bestwyer for me. I don''t want to


    go to jail. I can''t go to jail!"


    Hearing Aurora say that, Vivian was pretty sure that what others said was true.


    Vivian struggled to lower her voice, but due to her anger, her tone remained loud. "Are you out of


    your mind? How dare you get involved in something like this?"


    Aurora exined, "For so many years, everything was fine! This situation only came to light thanks


    to your dad!"


    Vivian was confused. "Dad? How is this rted to Dad?"


    Jonathan lowered his head in embarrassment and confessed, " I drank too much that day..."


    Aurora sneered, "The first time was because you drank too much. What about the second day? I


    found lipstick stains on your clothes for two consecutive days!"


    "Hold on... Mom, Dad. What are you talking about? Why can''t I understand?" Vivian interrupted.


    Aurora curled her lips and remarked, "Jonathan, Helena is your niece. How could you bring yourself


    to sleep with that bitch?"


    A look of utter disbelief crossed Vivian''s face. "Dad and Helena... How could..."


    Aurora''s voice turned sharp as she continued, "See. Even your daughter can''t believe it! If it weren''t


    for that bitch, how would I end up like this? She must have found out about this from somewhere


    and deliberately seduced you... Jonathan, if you could just control your desires, I wouldn''t be in this


    mess!"


    "You brought this upon yourself, Aurora. Do you have a death wish to meddle in something like


    this?" Jonathan was also furious.


    Aurora retorted, "I have a death wish? Your meager earnings can''t even sustain us. I did this for a


    better standard of living!"


    Vivian possessed a strong emotional resilience. Despite the shocking news, she quickly epted it,


    saying, "This isn''t the time for arguments! Our most urgent concern is to get Mom out..."


    She turned to Aurora and asked, "Why would Helena do this?"


    Aurora had no choice but to recount the old grudges of the previous generation.


    Vivianmented, "After all these years, they never suspected a thing, so how did they suddenly


    uncover all of this? There must be something fishy going on. In my opinion, Aunt Amanda and


    Helena are probably just pawns. The real question is, who''s the one behind all this?"


    Aurora shook her head. "I don''t know. I''ve thought about it for a long time and couldn''te up with


    anyone. I rarely make enemies, and if someone were to truly hate me, it would probably be..."


    "Charlotte!" both of them called out in unison.


    The next moment, Aurora rejected the idea. "But that idiot is incapable of such a thing. I''ve raised


    that wretch all by myself, and I know her well. She doesn''t have the capability or the courage."


    Vivian also felt the same, and she added, "Then there''s no one else... Perhaps it''s someone we''ve


    overlooked. Mom, don''t say anything for now and follow thewyer''s advice for everything. Dad has


    engaged awyer who specializes in handling cases like this. I''ll go talk to Helena and Aunt


    Amanda."


    Jonathan questioned in annoyance, "Why are you still going to them now?"


    Vivian replied, "We need to find out who''s behind this. Mom, don''t say anything. I''ll leave first."


    Aurora held Vivian''s hand and said, "I''m counting on you now, Vinny."


    "Don''t worry, Mom." Vivian held Aurora''s hand gently and then left.


    ...


    "You seem a little distracted today. Is something bothering you?" Nichszily gazed at Charlotte


    as he squinted his eyes slightly.


    Charlotte took a thought in response. "I''m indeed thinking about some matters... Nichs, I''d like to


    ask you a question."


    Nichs nonchntly replied, "Ask away."

    "If someone killed your mom, what would you do to that person?" Charlotte asked.


    The smile on Nichs'' face suddenly faded away. "Why would you ask such a question? However, I


    can answer it for you." His slender fingers tapped on the table. His voice contained a touch of


    amusement yet emanated a chilling aura. "Naturally, it''s a life for a life... This is unquestionable."


    Charlotte cast her gaze downward. "I see..."


    Nichs suddenly raised her chin and furrowed his brow. "Why are you asking such a question?"


    Charlotte casually responded, "I was reading a novel, and it got me thinking a bit."


    Nichs did not inquire any further. Instead, he said, "You''re still into novels, huh? Eloise and the


    others are going to have coconut chicken stew at the new ce on Dundee Road after school


    today. Are you going?"


    "Dundee Road?" she asked.


    "Yes," he answered.


    The Lopezs'' mansion was located right by Dundee Road.


    Charlotte considered for a moment and replied, "Sure, I''ll go."
