In the banquet hall, Aurora Sterling stood beside Mrs. Sterling, her eyes red-rimmed. She looked both helpless and wronged.
Seeing Aurora's pitiful expression, Mrs. Sterling assumed the girl was blaming herself for the current situation. After all, it had been a long time since Aurora had attended such a banquet, let alone acted as hostess to the guests. She had insisted on coming today, surely wanting to handle everything perfectly, but then Sharon Dalton had to go and cause such a scene.
Seeing Aurora like this made Mrs. Sterling's heart ache. "Aurora, dear, don't be afraid. Grandma's here. This isn't your fault."
Hearing Mrs. Sterling's words, Aurora managed to force a faint smile onto her aggrieved face.
In the shadows, Damien Valerius's brows suddenly knitted together without warning. The change startled Sean Carter, who was standing beside him, so much that he held his breath. 'What's gotten into the boss all of a sudden?'
