Veronica helping Aurora?

"Sis"!

Feigning surprise, Veronica called out to Aurora, her voice laced with artificial sweetness.

Aurora, however, didn't turn immediately. She had no desire to let the sight of her so-called sister ruin her mood. But a slow smirk tugged at her lips—playing with this fool was always amusing. Compared to the truly devious people she had encountered in her previous life, Veronica was nothing more than a petty schemer.

And she still needs to pay for that little trick she pulled yesterday.

With that thought, Aurora finally turned to Sebastian. "You go ahead and wait in the car," she said smoothly, her voice carrying an air of quiet confidence. "I'll be there in a moment."

Then, with deliberate ease, she shifted her gaze to Veronica, her eyes gleaming with something unreadable.

Veronica's breath hitched as her eyes landed on Aurora's face.
