Chapter 858 - 858: You Were Never Really Together
Unconsciously, I just wanted to do something.Most of the people in the private room were friends she played with during her rebellious phase. They hadn't seen each other in a long time, and after a few drinks, they knew her alcohol tolerance and didn't toast her too much.
They chatted about many things.
And handed out a few signed photos.
The atmosphere in the room was too stuffy, so Aurelia Shaw went out to catch her breath. On her way back from the restroom, she encountered a person in the corridor.
Jennifer Campbell.
The daughter of Old Campbell.
Aurelia was surprised to see her here.
But everyone has their privacy. They had only met once and had no interaction, so she planned to just pass by as if she hadn't seen her.
"Miss Shaw?" Jennifer Campbell called out to her.
Aurelia turned her head to look at her.
Jennifer smiled, "I thought I recognized the wrong person. Last time we met, I didn't get a chance to greet you properly. Hi, I'm Jennifer Campbell, from the Campbell Family."
This sudden greeting raised Aurelia's guard.
Jennifer realized she was too abrupt. "When I saw you last time, I wanted to say hello."
Seeing Aurelia's look of suspicion and vigilance, Jennifer just chuckled, "Last time, if it weren't for you being there, maybe Mason and I might have developed a different relationship."
At that gathering, Grandma wanted to match us up.
So is she here to declare war on me?
There used to be a lot of women like her, coming up to me and saying a bunch of things about liking Mason, finally telling me: they would definitely steal Mason away.
But in the end, Mason didn't divorce me.
Those assertive women seemed as if they never appeared at all. Back then, my relationship with Mason was as fragile as a thin piece of paper, yet until the moment of my death, we didn't divorce.
"Really boring," Jennifer sighed.
Aurelia looked at her strangely.
"Why don't you have any reaction? Normally, when seeing a woman who was almost your boyfriend's, shouldn't you be jealous? Or assertively warn me to stay away from Mason?" Jennifer squinted her crafty eyes, "Or... were you not really together at all?"
Aurelia figured it out; this woman was deliberately using those words to provoke her.
Crimson lips curled up, peach blossom eyes slightly raised, "That's because... you still think there's a reason for me to feel threatened."
Jennifer's smile froze.
Realizing it, she caught up with Aurelia in two steps and blocked her, "Are you saying I'm worse than you?"
"Isn't that the case?" Aurelia said lightly, her gaze faintly sweeping over her, with a subtle smile on her red lips.
This calm demeanor explains the answer more clearly than any response.
"Aren't you afraid I'll really steal Mason away? The Campbell Family's influence surpasses the Shaw Family's, I don't look bad, my academic qualifications are higher, I'm more outstanding than you, why do you think I can't win Mason over?"
"Simply because you also count as a smart person," Aurelia said coolly, "If you truly have the confidence to pursue Mason, you wouldn't be here saying these things to me. Miss Campbell should know better than me that actions speak louder than words."
"Ah, you're so boring, so uninteresting. How can you be so clever? Not cute at all," Jennifer sighed.
The personality of this Campbell Family's young lady is truly peculiar; she enjoys teasing people.
Aurelia squinted her eyes, and she remembered a bit: this Campbell girl wasn't exactly good or bad. She once drove someone to suicide by jumping off a building due to her teasing.
Yet, she could also donate a hundred million to charity.
