Aurelia's brows furrowed, and her gaze finally landed on Clara, who shivered from the cold. The words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat, and nothing came out.
"I've been puzzled just now. You said the one million was demanded by Jovana and me. Is that what she told you?"
For some reason, despite the plain tone of the statement, Clara's throat tightened, unable to respond immediately. Her heart pounded anxiously, as if something bad was about to happen.
Clara sighed, "How could little Ruo tell me these things? Today, a friend from her school called me about this. I forced it out of her when she got home. Aurelia, if you really need money, you can talk to us directly. Your father and I would never treat you unfairly. Why do you always hide things from us and try to solve them on your own?"
Having fallen out with Aurelia already, Clara wasn't afraid of exposing anything in front of her.
