The Rumor

Augustus heard the women's conversation and noticed how frightened Jane looked about her relationship being exposed while leaving.

He smirked at the thought that Anastasia planned to deal with their long, hideous affairs later and in perfect timing. 

"You really show sympathy to her," Augustus said, sounding a bit disappointed that Margot bid for an insignificant price.

He sat on the sofa opposite her with his eyes fixed on her.

"Did I? I thought the price was too much." Margot muttered. She kept the Cheque aside like the amount didn't matter to her from start.

Margot wasn't even courageous enough to broadcast or write an article about what happened in the previous ceremony, acknowledging how influential the RIS group was, but this white-haired young man promised to protect the Skyline company.
