"
"You... you..." Vianne Collins's face flushed red like a beetroot. She could feel the odd stares from the people around her. Glaring at Aurelia, her eyes were filled with murderous intent, "You're spouting nonsense. I'll tear that mouth of yours apart!"
Amanda Fuller stepped up to block in front of Aurelia at this sight.
Though she was soft and adorable in front of Aurelia, outside she was a woman who seemed strong but was actually weak inside. Her mere presence made Vianne hesitate in fear.
She coldly commanded, "I advise you not to do this. There are cameras around here. If anything happens to Aurelia's face, expect a summons to court and prepare for jail time."
Amanda sneered at her.
Vianne dared not move. She knew of Aurelia's background and precisely because Aurelia was so outstanding, everything good fell to her, making Vianne envious and hateful, wishing she could destroy her.
In that moment of distraction, a slap landed on her face. Tang Yili glared at her with a dark gaze, "Don't embarrass me here!"
"Mr. Tang..." Vianne looked at him with tears in her eyes, wanting to approach, but Tang Yili pushed her hand away with disgust and said, "Get lost!"
Vianne incredulously took a couple of steps back, then her gaze fell on Aurelia again, still filled with jealousy and hatred, wanting to destroy her. She turned and practically fled in defeat.
"Miss Aurelia, I'm sorry. I didn't know she was like this. I apologize for what happened today. If you don't mind, let me treat you to a meal to make up for it," Tang Yili offered a polite and gentlemanly smile, extending his hand to Aurelia.
Aurelia didn't even spare him a glance, handing her card to the manager to settle the bill, and said faintly, "Sorry, I'm not interested in a stallion."
Tang Yili's face froze, almost cracking. He stepped forward to slap Aurelia, grabbing her hair and dragging her into the corridor forcefully, regardless of whether she wanted it or not, daring to act so arrogantly in front of him.
However.
Amanda blocked his way, staring at him with an arrogant and warning look.
Tang Yili glanced at the cameras, stepped back two paces, and left with a sullen face.
Aurelia took it, left with Amanda, went downstairs, and returned to the car.
Amanda, full of fervor, deflated all at once and pouted angrily, "That woman was really infuriating! If I wasn't worried about causing a scene and troubling your reputation, I would have loved to rip her mouth apart."
"You did very well," Aurelia praised her generously.
Amanda blushed, then remembered the man, showing an angry expression, "And that man, you can tell he's no good just by looking, and he even dared to..."
She shivered in disgust.
"Compared to Mason Nightshade, he's not even worth one of his toes."
Aurelia hadn't expected her to suddenly mention Mason Nightshade, and she was momentarily stunned, a strange emotion surfacing within her.
Not waiting to think about what this feeling was, Amanda turned around and asked, "Where are we going now?"
Aurelia returned to herself, "Let's find a place to eat."
Why did she suddenly think of him?
Could it be that the effect of the alcohol hasn't worn off?
The two found a nearby restaurant, ate something casually, and then continued shopping at the mall. As they walked into a store, Amanda suddenly asked, "Huh, Aurelia, I remember this is a property under the Nightshade Family, right? Do you think we might run into Mason Nightshade?"
