Chapter 581: You Went to See Him Again! (Extra Story)

Just as Aurora was feeling troubled, the elevator suddenly opened, and a group of bodyguards in black suits rushed out. With electric batons in hand, they swiftly dispersed the reporters surrounding Aurora.

Aurora breathed a quiet sigh of relief. One of the bodyguards softly said, "Miss Wilson, with so many reporters here, it’s not wise for you to go home right now. But you can come with us. Everett asked us to take you through the company’s VIP passage."

Aurora hesitated for a moment. The bodyguard’s suggestion made sense—there were too many reporters outside, and it seemed like it was all intentionally orchestrated.

Something felt off...

It seemed like Everett had grown tired of being at odds with her. If these reporters weren’t hired by him, then who else would have done it?

Could he have done this on purpose, to make her grateful for his help?

Though Aurora hated him with all her heart, the thought of returning home and being followed by reporters every day made her shudder.

She couldn’t even imagine what it would be like to live in her rented place with a constant stream of reporters outside.

In the end, Aurora followed the bodyguard out of the underground parking lot, handing him the car keys. Ten minutes later, the bodyguard drove her car into the VIP passage.

Aurora sat silently in the car as it left NC Group, passing through one of the exits, and she could indeed see the shadows of reporters waiting outside.

Thinking back to Everett’s tense face as she left, the coldness in his eyes, and the proud, aristocratic aura he exuded... it still lingered in her mind.

That man, no matter what he wore, always carried an air of nobility and distance...

Aurora couldn’t quite figure out who had sent these reporters. If it was Everett, she couldn’t quite believe it...

Because the Everett she knew now had deliberately kept his distance from her. Why would he go so far as to set up this situation?

When Aurora arrived home, she found Alexander sitting silently on the couch. He had changed into one of her home outfits. Seeing a man in women’s clothes... it felt strange.

But that wasn’t her focus right now. Aurora immediately noticed the visible bruises on Alexander’s face and the white bandage wrapped around his wrist. She rushed to him, forgetting to take off her shoes in her haste.

"Alexander, are you okay? Did they... Did they hurt you?"

Aurora’s heart broke as she half-kneeled and gripped his hand tightly, her eyes filled with concern as she carefully examined his injuries.

Though Alexander’s wounds seemed superficial, his gaze was unusually cold.

He pulled his hand away, his voice as chilling as winter ice. "Where did you go?"

Aurora froze.

She could see the anger in his eyes as he stared at her. Aurora lowered her head. "I got a call... saying you’d been kidnapped. The person told me to beg him, so I... I went..."

Alexander glared at her, his eyes full of bitterness. He let out a mocking laugh. "Is that so? Aurora, I heard you’re good friends with Ella, and Eric is pushing you, planning to turn you into the next pop princess... Why didn’t you go to Ella or Eric for help? Why go to that disgusting man?"

Aurora’s heart tightened at his words. What was he implying?

"Aurora! You promised me you wouldn’t go see him again, you wouldn’t meet him anymore! And yet... you went to him willingly! What if he goes wild again..."

Alexander’s anger flared. He stood up suddenly, his eyes filled with disappointment and fury.

His forehead was lined with veins, his chest rising and falling rapidly as his anger pressed down on Aurora. The force of his rage made her legs go weak, and she sank to the floor.

Alexander’s legs were trembling. He fixed his gaze on Aurora’s eyes as though pushed to the edge. With a hoarse voice, he shouted, "Aurora! You like him, don’t you? Everett is handsome and rich. He can lift you to the top! The last time you went to Country W to apologize to Ella, you were with him, weren’t you?"

After Alexander was kidnapped, he was taken to a secluded house. Although he was beaten, they still gave him many pictures of Aurora being involved with Everett in Country W.

The kidnappers relentlessly mocked Alexander, calling him pathetic and claiming that Aurora was using all kinds of methods to seduce Everett.

Everett even issued a statement, saying it was Aurora who called him for help.

"Alexander, you’re really stupid! If your woman had no interest in our young master, would she open the door for him in the middle of the night? Hmph, she obviously wanted to get into our young master’s bed all along!"

"Alexander, Everett is admired by countless women, and you? You’re just an ordinary IT office worker... Aurora is now a pop star, in her heart, how could you possibly deserve her?"

The mocking voices of those men still echoed in Alexander’s mind, and his emotions completely spiraled out of control.

In his mind, Aurora was a kind person, but on the other hand, he wished she had gone to Eric or Ella, not Everett.

But everything was the complete opposite of what he thought.

Aurora really went to see Everett and stayed with him for almost three hours!

A man and a woman alone, why would she stay for three hours?

From the videos taken by those men, Alexander was sure there was a traitor within NC Group, but what pained him the most was Aurora’s "lack of self-respect"!

Aurora was stunned as she looked at Alexander. She had indeed gone to Country W to see Ella half a month ago, but she also asked Ella to speak on her behalf.

She thought meeting Ella in person would show her sincerity.

She had no romantic intentions toward Eric, and only by seeing Ella could she prove her innocence. But she hadn’t expected Everett to follow her and cling to her, dragging her around in the hotel!

But how did Alexander know?

"I... I didn’t!" Aurora exclaimed. "Alexander, I just wanted to ask Ella to help me with the issue with Everett..."

Alexander laughed in anger, and when he saw Aurora’s tear-streaked face, he felt no sympathy. He should be the one who deserved sympathy!

He pulled a large stack of photos from a bag beside him and threw them into Aurora’s face.

The sharp edges of the photos left a small cut on her face.

She lowered her gaze and saw the pictures—Everett pinning her against the hotel corridor, boldly kissing her.

In the photos, she was blushing with embarrassment, her expression awkward, but it looked as though she wasn’t resisting at all.

Aurora had been so weak that night, pressed against him and kissed for so long that she didn’t even have the strength to fight back. It was only when she bit his tongue that she managed to escape.

"It wasn’t like that... Alexander, let me explain..."

Aurora felt like she could never clear her name, but she still hoped he would trust her.

She was the one who had been forced!

"Explain? What else could you possibly say... If you didn’t like him, why did you open the door for him in the rain at night? Aurora... you’re not a three-year-old. You know what it means when a man comes to find you at night. You’ve lost yourself, you want to climb onto him, so go ahead and be a queen of pop!"
