Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Trading a Leg for Mason Nightshade's Attention, Worth It

"Aurelia?"

Seeing that Aurelia had no reaction, Eleanor Spencer wasn't ready to give up.

"Don't worry, I heard they invented a prosthetic limb in M Nation that looks exactly like a real leg, you can't even tell the difference."

Aurelia glanced at her nonchalantly, seemingly concerned but with a hidden cunning in her eyes, she coldly laughed inside.

In her previous life, she blindly trusted Eleanor's words, a fear like never before arose in her heart, afraid that Mason Nightshade wouldn't want her, afraid of spending the rest of her life in a wheelchair at such a young age.

And this fear eventually swallowed her reason.

She went crazy, smashing things, hitting and cursing at the doctors and nurses who rushed over to stop her, saying a lot of hurtful words that weren't truly what she felt.

Someone with intent filmed the video and posted it online.

"Eighteenth-line star shows off", "Aurelia causing trouble in hospital", "Eighteenth-line star assaults doctors", instantly dominated the hot search.

A wave of boycotting Aurelia surged online.

At that time, Eleanor hinted for her to hire water army to clear her name, she foolishly thought Eleanor was thinking for her good, she didn't have the extra energy to deal with it, so she entrusted Eleanor to handle it.

Who would have thought! The water army didn't help explain properly, but instead quarreled with the netizens, thoroughly angering them, offending all the directors she had worked with.

The situation spiraled out of control.

In the end, it was Mason who used his influence to suppress the matter.

But the label of Aurelia being a diva, abusing doctors and nurses, stuck on her forever!

Even her dream of being an actress was ruined!

Aurelia's fingers quietly clenched, a barely noticeable flash of deep hatred flickered in her eyes. Now the enemy was right in front of her, but she wasn't in a rush for revenge, isn't it more satisfying to toy with a rat slowly?

Having said a lot with no reaction from the other party, Eleanor's mouth was dry and a trace of suspicion rose in her heart.

With Aurelia's spoiled temperament, knowing she'd have to rely on a prosthetic for the rest of her life, she'd definitely throw a fit, no one could console her, Mason was just outside the door, if she made a scene, Mason would definitely be disgusted.

And if she comforted her with a few words then, juxtaposing Aurelia's unreasonable behavior, even if Mason wasn't moved, he'd pay more attention to her.

Most importantly, it could make Mason disgusted with Aurelia!

But——

Why, after talking for so long, was she still so calm?

"Aurelia, you really shouldn't be sad, even if you're confined to a wheelchair, I will take care of you." Eleanor tried saying tentatively.

A sneer flickered across Aurelia's eyes, take care of me?

Is she really taking care of me, or trying to seduce Mason under the guise of taking care of me?

Oh right, in the last life, because of her care, their relationship progressed rapidly.

In the end, the reason the two got together in the previous life was thanks to her efforts.

"Isabel, did the doctor say I can't walk anymore?"

Eleanor was stunned for a moment, a flicker of guilt in her eyes, "The doctor didn't say, but... but... you should always prepare for the worst."

"Is that so?" Aurelia frowned in confusion, her pretty face showing some curiosity, "I thought usually in the case of major illnesses, family would keep it from the patient."

She opened up with a bright and enchanting smile.

"So a good friend would tip you off, but..."

She cheekily stuck out her tongue, "I can't lose my temper, there are people coming and going here, if I make a fuss and someone catches it on camera, my stardom is over."

"And..." thinking about something, Aurelia lowered her head, a bashful, slightly bitter smile of a little woman on her face, "if this way, Mason looks at me more, cares for me more even a lifetime in a wheelchair, unable to walk, I'm willing."

The tall figure placing his hand on the handle, preparing to push the door open suddenly froze, the fingers gripping the door handle abruptly tensed, turning white with tension, the hand hanging by his side quietly clenched, seemingly enduring something with effort. After a long time, he let go and opened the door to enter.

Eleanor was momentarily stunned, completely didn't expect Aurelia to say such things.

Had she fallen for Mason to that extent?

She originally thought she was the one who loved Mason the most in this world, only she deserved Mason, deserved his love and attention.

But, this woman——

She not only took Mason away, but also her most proud love for Mason?

Intense jealousy raged in Eleanor's chest, driving her almost insane.

She uncontrollably clenched her fingers, her beautifully painted nails deeply etched into her palms, the soft eyes covered with a cold glint.
