The Morales family feud.

One sentence imposed a significant identity on Aurora Morales. So what if Diego Morales was Aurora Morales' father? Dare to touch her? One had to ask the man beside her first! Diego Morales' face instantly turned livid. He never expected that one day, this little wretch, Aurora Morales, would join forces with an outsider to suppress him.

"Yes, yes, yes..."

"I'm just afraid that Aurora might not know the rules. What if she does something wrong accidentally in The Vargas family? Then it would be..." Ricardo Vargas said coldly, "As long as Aurora is happy, she can do whatever she wants. A mere Morales family, even if it's torn down, isn't a big deal. Aurora, don't you think so?"

He lowered his head, and the coldness in his eyes melted into a tender pool of affection in an instant, just like the warm May summer. Aurora Morales arched her delicate eyebrows. This guy...

Hearing this, Diego Morales looked at Aurora Morales nervously and forced a smile, "Aurora... Aurora... This is the property left by your mother. You wouldn't be so heartless, would you?"

Aurora Morales pulled Ricardo Vargas and walked out.

"You're right. However, I don't want to tear it down for now."

They got in the car, and the driver drove away. Valentina Morales, who came back, curiously peeked into the car but saw nothing. She hopped back home and found the atmosphere a bit strange. Diego Morales was sitting there with a sullen face, and Catalina López was secretly wiping her tears.

"Where's sister?" Valentina Morales walked over curiously and handed a tissue to Catalina López.

"Don't mention that useless thing!" Diego Morales said angrily. Valentina Morales had no idea what was going on. She had just seen Javier Fernández to the intersection and then returned.

"All right, master. Don't blame Aurora. She's so pitiful. She lost her mother when she was young. She finally returned to the Morales family, and then got married a few years later. And that man is... so ugly..." As she said this, Catalina López's tears flowed even faster.

Valentina Morales asked in surprise, "Did Mr. Vargas come?"

Diego Morales got up in silence and walked upstairs. Valentina Morales chased after him unwillingly, "Dad, what on earth happened?"

Diego Morales was silent for a moment and then told her, "Daughter, you and Javier Fernández should move your wedding forward as soon as possible! He's not young anymore. You should get married and have children earlier."

Valentina Morales blushed and looked extremely shy. She let out a long sigh.

"I want to too, but you've seen the situation of Javi's Fernández Group. It's been disrupted by sister and is very unstable. The matter of Mr. Carson hasn't been resolved yet. Sister is really something. She could have obtained the cooperation by having a few drinks with Mr. Carson, but she flatly refused..."

Aurora Morales propped her chin up, looking at the scenery flashing by outside the window. Ricardo Vargas sat beside her and said softly, "Do you want the Morales family?"

"Ah?" The sudden question made Aurora Morales a bit stunned, and she looked at him in confusion.

"According to my investigation, when your father was with your mother, it seems that..." Ricardo Vargas paused, feeling that it might be too heart - breaking for her if he revealed the truth bluntly. "Anyway, if you want to take back the Morales family, I can help you."

Aurora Morales blinked twice and understood what he meant.

"No need, thank you." The Morales family now was not what it used to be. In Diego Morales' hands, its downfall was only a matter of time.

Just after arriving home, Aurora Morales' phone rang. She deliberately avoided everyone and answered the call. A string of fluent Chinese came from the other end, but it was obvious that the speaker was a foreigner. "Oh! My dear Aurora baby, I've checked into a hotel in Westbrook city. I hope I can meet you before my performance."

Aurora Morales looked helplessly, "Old man, I have to work. I don't have time to go."

"What work? The nine - to - five routine life is so boring. My dear Aurora baby, you should inherit my mantle and continue my life!"

Aurora Morales burst into laughter, "Mantle?"

"Ahem, in short, you must come to see me before my performance. Otherwise, the next time we meet might be the day I'm buried!"

Beep beep beep...

Aurora Morales shook her head, "This old guy who talks nonsense."

After changing clothes, Aurora Morales went to chat with the old lady. Ricardo Vargas was alone in the study when he heard a knock on the door.

Don José came in from outside and handed him an invitation.

"Master, Mr. Leonard arrived in Westbrook city today. He said that as his only student in this life, you must participate in this performance." Ricardo Vargas slightly furrowed his brows, his eyes fixed on the stock price increase and decrease on the computer, "I only studied with him for half a month, but he's been nagging about it for more than ten years."

Don José showed a kind smile, "Once a teacher, always a father. Mr. Leonard has always been thinking about you, master."

"Tell him I'll go on the day of the live performance."

"Okay."

On Monday, Aurora Morales took a leave and went to the airport. After waiting at the exit for about ten minutes, she heard a clear shout.

"Aurora! I'm here! Over here!"

Aurora Morales looked around the crowd but couldn't see Alessia Rossi's figure for a while. Her butt was slapped hard. Aurora Morales quickly turned around, and her gaze shifted downward.

The woman in front of her puffed out her cheeks slightly, "Hey, hey, I know I'm less than 1.6 meters tall, but you don't have to humiliate me like this, do you?"

Aurora Morales patted Alessia Rossi on the head.

"Ah! My newly done hairstyle! Take your hand away!" Alessia Rossi shouted angrily, but with her cute height, she didn't have any deterrence at all.

"Hey, where's your man? Why didn't he come?" Alessia Rossi asked curiously, looking around.

Aurora Morales said, "He's staying at home."

"Understood, understood. He can't be shown in public. I get it." Alessia Rossi had an expression of 'I understand you'. She stretched, hooked Aurora Morales' arm with one hand, and dragged the suitcase with the other.

"Ah, it's been so many years since I came back to Westbrook city. I wonder if there have been any changes."

Aurora Morales walked to the exit to hail a car and asked about where she was staying.

"So where are you staying? In a hotel?"

Alessia Rossi nodded, "Of course. I haven't had time to look for a house yet, so I'll stay in a hotel for a couple of days first."

"Planning to stay long - term?"

Alessia Rossi arched her brows and leaned on her arm, smiling sweetly.

"Don't try to pry. I'll just tell you straightforwardly. The family head gave me a really long vacation, specifically to come and keep an eye on you."

Aurora Morales gave her a sidelong glance, "I think it's not the family head who asked you to watch me, but the second brother, right?"

"You guessed it!" Alessia Rossi was extremely shocked. Why could this woman see through everything since they were kids? "The second brother said he really doesn't feel at ease with you doing such a dangerous task alone." Alessia Rossi whispered in her ear, "I heard that the background of The Vargas family is not what it seems on the surface."

Aurora Morales nodded and threw her two keys, "Go get the house and the car yourself."

"Ah! I've been taken care of by a rich woman!"
