At the same time, in the Barton family…
Using the method Phoebe taught her, Aurora finally drove the woman away, but her father seemed to
be a different person, and he did not love her as much as before. He rarely showed up in front of her all
day long.
But after crying and making a fuss for a long time, she was also satisfied with this peach.
Just as she came out of the swimming pool, a maid hurriedly walked over with a panic expression,
“Miss..."
Upon seeing this, Aurora said casually, “What's wrong."
The maid whispered, “Someone is looking for you outside."
Aurora frowned when she heard the words, "Could it be that woman is back again?"
"Nope."
The maid looked around, leaned towards her and said something in a low voice.
Aurora's face instantly became a little unpredictable. She narrowed her eyes, and then said after a
while of silence, “Go and bring her to my room. Remember, don't let other people see her."
The maid received the order, turned and walked away quickly.
Aurora picked up the bathrobe next to him, put it on, and walked back to her bedroom slowly.
She sat on the sofa and opened a bottle of red wine.
After a while, the maid returned, “Miss Steward, I bring her here."
Aurora groaned an answer and took a sip of red wine elegantly.
The maid turned around and left, closing door of the bedroom.
Aurora looked towards the door, “What's the matter? You came to see me so late."
Phoebe lifted her leg and walked over. She seemed to have lost the pride and nobility she had in the
past, and even looked a little bit low-spirited.
She sat opposite to Aurora, and took a long breath, “I'm here to ask you for help."
Aurora smiled disdainfully, “Me? How can I help you?"
"I don't have a place to go. I want to stay here for several days."
"Oh, what are you talking about? Those who know about the truth may know that you’re here to ask for
my help, but those who don’t know it may think you’re ordering me.”
Facing her mockery, Phoebe's expression remained unchanged, “My current predicament is only
temporary. When I find my dad, everything will be resolved, and I will give you whatever you want."
"Your father?" Aurora seemed to have heard some joke. She trembled all over while laughing, "Are you
joking with me? Now all people in City N know that your father is a fake. Does it make any difference
even if you find him? Oh, there’s an old saying that a phoenix in its abjection is inferior to a chicken.
You’re just a fake phoenix, but it seems like you still haven’t given up on the idea.”
Phoebe said, "What do you know? They made up those things indiscriminately!"
Aurora looked at her and sighed, “Things have progressed to what they’re today. It seems that you
really won't give up."
Phoebe took a deep breath and continued, “All of these were planned by Stella. Since she first moved
into the Stewards’ Mansion, I knew she was bearing this purpose. If it weren't for Clarence helped her
set up the traps, how could Steward Group suffer this crisis? She said that she was the real daughter of
the Steward family and I'm fake. Do you believe it?"
Aurora paused with the wine glass in her hand, “You mean, the so-called truths of the things happened
twenty years ago were all the dramas that Stella and Clarence played together?"
"Of course." Phoebe clenched her fists which were put on her laps. "Lyndon wanted to kill my dad
before, but he died in the explosion. He deserved that consequence. Stella will suffer the
consequences of her evil doings sooner or later. I will find evidence to prove that what she said was
false!"
Aurora looked at Phoebe up and down, obviously not taking her words to heart.
The Steward Group incident had attracted many attentions some time ago. It is already clear to
everyone about who Charles was and who Lyndon was.
Phoebe was now just deceiving herself.
Aurora said, “Forget it, as you helped me before, I'll let you stay here for a few days. But you have to
be clear, this is my home, so don't think you’re still in the Stewards’ Mansion and act arrogantly. It won’t
work on me."
Hearing this, Phoebe looked a little embarrassed, but she didn't refute it.
Aurora asked the maid to prepare a room for her. Phoebe took a glance. It covered a range of only a
few square meters. It was obvious that it was a maid's room.
Phoebe hadn't had a good sleep for several days, so even if she knew that Aurora's behavior was
humiliating her, she didn't raise any objections.
The next day, when Phoebe saw Aurora go out, she stepped forward and said, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going out for a walk. What’s the matter? Do you want to come with me?"
Phoebe stood there, her face tense, and did not speak.
Aurora put on her sunglasses and walked forward, “Don't worry, since I have let you live here, I won't
tell anyone."
Under Phoebe's gaze, Aurora stepped on high heels and got into the car.
After the car had driven a certain distance, she took out her ID card and passport from her bag, and
smiled disdainfully.
She took out her mobile phone and made a call, “Hey, post my house on the market and see whether
there is any buyer. My dad? Come on, he doesn’t live in the house now, so why should I care about the
house? I will tell him later and give him half of the money I get.”
The person at the other end of the phone said something. Aurora said again, “As long as there is a
buyer, I’m find even the price is relatively low. I’m not in short of money. Sell it as soon as possible. It’s
really troublesome now. Many maids have left. I will go abroad and stay for a period. Don’t bother me if
there’s no important thing. As for the matters of the house, you can decided on them.”
...
After Aurora went out, Phoebe waited until the evening, but she didn't see her come back again.
Suddenly a foreboding arose in her heart.
And when she woke up after a night's sleep, she found all the maids in the entire Bartons’ Mansion s
disappeared.
Except for her, there was no one in the house.
Phoebe knew in an instant that Aurora had pitted her.
Fortunately, there was still food in the refrigerator, which was enough for her to eat for a few days.
But Phoebe also knew very well that she couldn’t let things progress like this. She entered Aurora's
bedroom, rummaged through the room, and found a lot of jewellery.
These things used to be as worthless as rubbish in her eyes, but now they could save her life.
Phoebe found a bag in Aurora's closet and put all the things she found just now into it.
As soon as she walked downstairs, she heard the sound of conversations in the distance. Someone
came to visit the house.
Phoebe hid aside, and quickly left when they entered the house.
After seeing Aurora's house, the visitor called Aurora, “Aurora, is there a thief in your house? All of your
jewelry is stolen."
Aurora, who was at the other end of the phone, sneered, "A thief. That’s true."
Her father stole the other person’s life, and the daughter was also an evil man.
She didn’t expect that Phoebe, who always appeared to be arrogant, would steal her things.
Of course Aurora wouldn’t swallow this grievance. She directly told Clarence’s men that Phoebe
wandered around the Bartons’ Mansion in the past few days.
