Rebirth of Shadows

CHAPTER 5 Serves you right

Scarlett's face turned pale. She had never imagined that Aurora, who came from a prestigious family and had always been gentle, would look at her with such eyes one day.

But when Scarlett regained her composure and looked back at Aurora, she felt relieved. She must have misinterpreted Aurora's mocking gaze earlier. Aurora, who was so gentle and harmless, couldn't possibly have such a look in her eyes, right?

Waiting left and right, Scarlett still didn't hear Aurora's words of forgiveness. She couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, silently cursing Aurora. Then, she blinked her eyes pitifully, and tears began to well up in her previously slightly reddened eyes. As she looked at Aurora, her gaze was full of sorrow and grievance, as if she had almost been the one hit by the accident. Mist quickly filled her eyes, and the crystal tears fell like beads off a broken string, crying as if she were a delicate tulip in the rain.

This familiar crying face almost made Aurora feel like she had returned to the past... In the previous life, she couldn't stand such tears. Whenever Scarlett cried, she would always give in to her without question.

Unfortunately, this time, Scarlett's trick didn't work anymore.

Involuntarily, a meaningful smile appeared on Aurora's face.

The scene fell into a suffocating silence, with countless pairs of eyes fixed on Aurora, everyone waiting for her decision.

Even Sophie, who was as cold as ice, got out of the car and walked to Aurora's side. She pushed up the glasses on her nose and cast a penetrating gaze like X-rays, swiftly and meticulously scanning the Rose Family sisters.

For a long time, Aurora sighed deeply, seemingly completely swayed by Scarlett's tears. She nodded slightly, helplessly instructing, "Daisy, get up."

— Does this mean she forgave herself?

Daisy, the perpetrator sitting on the ground, felt a strong sense of pride and arrogance rising in her heart. So this was what they called a high-born lady? Forever maintain elegance and politeness.

Seeing Daisy still sitting on the ground without getting up, Aurora twitched her lips slightly, revealing a charming smile. Her slender figure leaned forward slightly, and her snow-white, delicate arm extended towards Daisy.

Aurora's hand reached out to Daisy, her fingers slender, her palm fair and flawless like ice and snow. Her nails were trimmed neatly and cleanly, without any fanciness. They were so pure and elegant that they seemed almost sacred, exuding a noble and graceful aura.

This was the eldest daughter of the ancient and noble Luminance Family, the top socialite in Metropia City, elegant and noble, yet understated.

The hand of Aurora stretched out towards the culprit Daisy, seemingly about to help her up.

Seeing this scene, Scarlett, the mastermind standing aside, couldn't help but curve her lips into a self-satisfied and confident smile.

Humph, the Miss of Luminance Family, the heiress of LF. , so noble and extraordinary, but now as gentle as a little lamb, letting herself be controlled and manipulated? With just a few words and a couple of tears, she could make Aurora obey her every command. Then who would dare to ridicule Rose Family for sucking up to Luminance Family?

Seeing Aurora, who was always high and mighty, about to help her up, Daisy, who was only sixteen or seventeen, quickly wiped away the tears from her face, allowing Aurora to pull her up from the ground. She no longer felt the previous fear and anxiety but instead proudly giggled, "I knew Sister Aurora is the best, you surely won't blame your sister."

But before Daisy's giggling words could finish, Aurora suddenly raised an eyebrow, a beautiful yet fierce curve forming at her lips. She lifted her other arm, raised her palm, and delivered a resounding slap directly to Daisy's cheek, sharp and clear!

Smack!

The sound of the slap was soo clear!

Aurora put all her strength into this slap, and it sent Daisy's body back to the ground!

The scene froze once again, stunned not only Daisy and the members of the convoy but also the numerous onlookers.

The gentle and kind Miss of Luminance Family, under the watchful eyes of everyone, not only helped Daisy up with one hand but also slapped her across the face with the other?!

The one who couldn't believe what was happening most was undoubtedly Scarlett.

Scarlett knew best what kind of person Aurora was, having grown up with her since childhood... But today, why did Aurora suddenly act like this, going against her demands?

It was a feeling of immense frustration, as if the ants that had always been at her palm suddenly broke free from her palm and turned back to bite her!

For the first time, Scarlett, who was usually adept at scheming, lost control of her emotions and screamed in shock without thinking, "Aurora, what on earth are you doing?!"

This slap felt even more painful than if it had landed directly on Scarlett's own face!
