Chapter 529: I Have a Boyfriend

Later, during the singing competition held by LXL, Aurora stood out, unaffected by any shady rules. She was extremely grateful and cherished the opportunity LXL had given her.

"People in the company say you’re lucky, that you’re very clever, but I believe that everyone must work hard to find their own happiness. Mrs. Nelson, I, Aurora, would rather die than destroy someone else’s family, so you can rest assured..."

Aurora was a smart woman, though somewhat naïve in the sense that she didn’t have any hidden agendas.

Ella knew about Aurora’s probing from the start.

Ella smiled faintly, sitting in a park by the food street with Aurora. Dorian and Elias were watching children from other families play with remote-controlled airplanes, while six bodyguards remained vigilant.

"Since you’ve made a promise, I no longer need to worry. Although I’m confident that Mr. Nelson will never betray me, reality and confidence are two different things." Ella leaned back in her chair, holding a fluffy sun doll she had just bought.

Aurora nodded, "Mrs. Nelson, you’re my idol! Actually, I also want to be a woman with a strong presence... but my personality..."

Her personality was gentle.

Presence seemed like something out of reach for her, as Aurora appeared like a fairy descended from the heavens, too beautiful to belong to this world.

Ella chuckled. "Just call me Ella from now on. By the way, do you know Everett?"

Aurora’s face immediately flushed red. "No... We know each other, but we’re not very familiar..."

Well... What she meant by not being familiar was in terms of emotional connection, but in a physical sense, they were quite familiar. When Aurora first came to Country W to shoot an MV, she ran into a group of hooligans causing trouble, and one of them almost assaulted her. Fortunately, Everett saved her.

She thought they had no further connection, but one rainy night, he appeared at her doorstep, his body burning with fever. She innocently helped him up to rest, not expecting... that night, he took everything from her.

Aurora had a boyfriend, but he was just an ordinary working guy. Because of this, she had confronted Everett several times, but he was still persistent.

"But from your reaction, it seems like it’s not simple. However, I don’t really know Everett that well. If you need help, you can talk to Mr. Nelson," Ella said casually.

Ella was sure Aurora and Everett had something going on. At twenty-four, Aurora still blushed when she saw a man.

Either she had fallen for Everett, or they were involved in a physical relationship. Either way, she blushed every time she saw him.

Moreover, Everett suddenly started discussing things with Eric, which probably had something to do with Aurora.

"No, no... I don’t need it!" Aurora lowered her head, a bit flustered.

"Actually... I don’t want Mr. Adams to keep bothering me. I... I have a boyfriend!" Aurora’s distressed expression made Ella pause for a moment.

"Aurora, just follow what your heart tells you. With time, you’ll know exactly what you need most."

Just like her and Eric, they had separated at one point.

But in the end, didn’t they still end up together?

"I know, I understand what I need to do."

Ella didn’t bring up Everett again and instead started chatting with Aurora about the interesting and quirky things in Country W. The two of them enjoyed the conversation.

At that moment...

In a nearby café, Eric and Everett sat together, leisurely sipping the black coffee they had ordered.

"Mr. Nelson, I hope you’ll terminate Aurora’s contract with LXL. She’s the woman I want," Everett said plainly.

Eric raised an eyebrow. "I don’t think... Aurora likes you that much, does she?"

Everett’s face darkened. "I’ll make her fall in love with me. The compensation is negotiable—money is no issue—but I don’t like my woman being in the spotlight."

Eric chuckled.

LXL was a company that he and Ella co-founded, and they had never resorted to any shady practices with their female artists. Even the directors knew better. If they were caught doing anything improper, Eric would make sure they’d never work in the industry again.

Aurora had gained quite a bit of fame already, even though she had only sung a few songs. Her voice was simply too beautiful.

If Everett stubbornly ruined her future...

"Everett, I think loving a woman isn’t about restricting her freedom, but about giving her more space. Singing is Miss Wilson’s passion. If you force her to break her contract with us, it won’t ease things between you two—it’ll only make them worse." Eric said calmly. "As a fellow student, I’ll be straightforward with you: our company won’t ever make use of any shady tactics. Aurora’s success here is based entirely on her own efforts and talent."

Everett’s expression shifted between light and dark.

"You want to turn Aurora into a flower in a vase, don’t you? But one day, you’ll realize she has no real qualities, and you won’t love her anymore. You’ll end up ruining her." Eric mocked with a smile. "And by the way... your anxiety—are you insecure about your own charm?"

"Eric, you’ve said enough," Everett replied coldly, his gaze turning sharper.

For Everett, getting women was never difficult. With a snap of his fingers, countless women would fall at his feet. But the one he truly loved was still Aurora, the woman who feared him most.

He missed her body from that rainy night.

The feeling that consumed him—he had never experienced anything like it before. Our dear Everett, who had always had a deep-seated aversion to women, had no resistance when he heard Aurora’s voice.

"I haven’t gone too far. Whether my words are correct or not, you should really think about it. You’d be better off helping her rise quickly to superstardom. She’d be grateful, truly appreciate your understanding."

After saying this, Eric didn’t feel the need to say anything else.

Everett was a smart man, but the one involved often can’t see the bigger picture.

He didn’t want Aurora out in the public eye because he thought it would be shameful for her. But at LXL, singing had never required anyone to please anyone else or to suffer indignities.

Aurora loved this environment, yet Everett failed to understand her inner feelings.

Everett didn’t say anything else and finally put down his coffee cup. "I’ll talk to you in a few days."

Eric gave a faint smile. Looks like Nelson Group had gained another partner in Country W.

When Eric returned to Ella, he found that Aurora had already left.

That night, as Ella nestled in his arms, smiling sweetly, Eric brought up the topic. "So, you were talking about Everett? He must have some kind of romantic connection with Aurora, right? Because Aurora doesn’t blush when she sees you, but she turns bright red when she sees him."

Eric chuckled and pinched her little face, letting his hand wander. "Looks like you’ve got the psychology of relationships figured out!"

"Of course! Otherwise, how could I have won your heart?" Ella laughed softly. "But Aurora’s in quite a tough spot. She has a boyfriend, but Everett isn’t willing to let go."
