Chapter 896 - 896: An Accidental Encounter with Little Bun
Even though Jovana Shaw's scheming runs deep, she is still just a teenager.Faced with such things, she also knows fear, worrying that the group might come back to silence her, but fortunately, she didn't see their faces.
"Sis," Jovana said to Aurelia, "Dad wants you to come back for dinner. Even though you and brother-in-law have gone through one marriage, it's now neither legitimate nor proper for you to stay at brother-in-law's place."
Aurelia's lips curved as she glanced at the guard beside her, "I understand."
After today's shoot ended, Jovana grabbed Leo's arm, blocking Aurelia's path, "Sis, let's go back together. I still need you to attend my engagement to Leo. Tonight, let's go back and have a family dinner."
Leo opened his mouth, wanting to say something but swallowed his words.
Aurelia raised her eyebrows slightly, "I already discussed the engagement with Mrs. Campbell. My appearance fee is no less than seven figures. I'm sure a generous woman like her wouldn't want her future daughter-in-law getting it for free."
Jovana's face turned pale and purple, unable to retort against Aurelia.
"Of course, it wouldn't be less!" Leo spoke, realizing his mistake, and explained, "Aurelia, this was an arrangement made between my mom and the Shaw Family. I never intended..."
Jovana's nails dug into her palms, listening to her fiancé express his desire to marry someone else. Hatred grew wildly inside her, wanting to strangle Aurelia, this seductress.
"Mr. Campbell, I told you before, I'm not interested in you, nor did I intend to have any other dealings with you, especially with your fiancée standing beside you. Do you think it's appropriate to say such things?" Aurelia finished, turning to Jovana, "If you want dinner, go back and have it yourself. Don't bother me again."
On the way back to Nightshade Residence by car, Aurelia received a call from Mason Nightshade, asking her to pick up a gown from a clothing store, "Why are you suddenly gifting me a gown?"
"To accompany me to a business gathering tonight," Mason replied concisely.
Aurelia rarely accompanies him to such events, but since Mason is inviting her, the attendees won't spread rumors about their relationship. After considering, Aurelia agreed, "Okay."
"Liuzi, make a turn to the clothing store..."
...
At the clothing store.
The clerk took out the gown, "Mr. Nightshade instructed us to make this dress half a month ago. The diamonds on it are hand-embedded, you'll look like an opulent peacock in it."
Aurelia glanced at it, planning to have the clerk put it away, when a familiar female voice came over, "Take that gown down, I want to try it."
Upon hearing the voice, Aurelia looked over and indeed saw Jennifer Campbell. She seemed to notice Aurelia as well, paused slightly, said something to the man beside her, and walked over.
Mark Campbell looked over at her.
Aurelia shivered, no matter when this man's gaze is always cold, like an emotionless machine.
"Squeak..." A child's voice sounded softly, followed by a force hugging Aurelia's legs. She looked down and found Mason Campbell, looking like a bun.
Her beautiful face instantly broke into a smile. She squatted down and pinched Mason's little cheeks, "Missed me?"
Mason opened his mouth, remembering what his dad told him, and immediately closed it again, making a "squeak".
Aurelia's heart melted; she originally thought she didn't like children. But who would have guessed, with such a cute and sensible child, it's impossible not to like him.
