Chapter 4

  • When he heard my words, Julian's bodyguard burst into laughter. "Who do you think you are? Trying to clean the house? Everyone in the company knows that Miss Lana is Mr. Finch's favorite person. That woman offended her, so she deserved it!"
  • Lana leaned against Julian, who gently tended to the wound on her neck. She also pretended to comfort me. "Madam, all we did was throw Eleanor out. She might not die, and I don't blame you for hurting me. There's no need to lie."
  • As she spoke, she revealed the gruesome wound on her neck to Julian.
  • Julian looked disappointed. "Aurora, I am so disappointed in you. Since you hurt someone for her today, you must witness how Eleanor pays the price for your actions!"
  • With a glance, his bodyguard pulled Eleanor's cold body out of the snow and threw it harshly on the ground.
  • I struggled and screamed, my wrists and body bound by ropes, leaving bloody marks.
  • Pushing away a bodyguard, I shouted loudly, "Let go of Eleanor! Don't touch her!"
  • My resistance angered Julian, and he directly ordered the bodyguard to force my head to face Eleanor.
  • "Aurora, if you don't listen, the people around you will leave you one by one, forever!"
  • I was heartbroken and speechless, staring at him with hatred, wishing I could bite off a piece of his flesh.
  • Suddenly, the roar of helicopters filled the sky, and five all-black helicopters appeared instantly.
  • The bodies were marked with a name in large "Sterling."
  • Tears welled up in my eyes as I watched the well-trained black-clad men from the family descend from the helicopters.
  • The bodyguards dropped Eleanor in fear, and Lana shrank into Julian's arms.
  • One of the bodyguards pointed at the lead black-clad man and trembled, "I recognize this person! Isn't he the assistant of the world's top billionaire Sterling family? How is he here?!"
  • The lead black-clad man walked over quickly, and after seeing my appearance, he was shocked. "Miss! How did you end up like this?!"
  • His words shocked everyone present.
  • Julian looked at me in disbelief. "Aurora, why did he call you Miss?!"
  • Compared to his incredulity, Lana was even more excited. "How could she be your miss? She's just a housewife! Are you mistaken?"
  • She said excitedly, then ran over from Julian's arms and kicked my already injured thigh. "You bitch, how dare you lie in front of so many people!"
  • Before she could finish shouting, she was immediately kicked away by a man in black.
  • "Outrageous! Who gave you the right to treat our miss like this!"
  • The attitude of the man in black said it all, and Julian's bodyguards, including Lana, turned pale.
  • Lana trembled as she stood up from the ground, coughing up blood. "How is it possible, how could she be a member of the Sterling family! She's just a housewife! How is it possible!"
  • She screamed and tried to rush forward, but saw the man in black raising his foot to kick her again.
  • Lana screamed and hid behind Julian.
  • "Julian, save me!"
  • Julian looked at her complicatedly, but ultimately chose to protect her. "Aurora, Lana didn't mean it. For my sake, please forgive her."
  • I laughed.
  • I had no expectations for this man in front of me long ago, just coldly looking at him. "Julian, do you know what I regret the most right now?"
