Chapter 589: The Winds of Change! (Extra Story)

Aurora gritted her teeth, refusing to let herself cry out loud. Her heart felt as if it was being burned by something, it hurt so much, so painfully.

Seven years of a relationship, and it’s over just like that? No, she was never the type to be so carefree.

She had been busy with the new song and advertisements lately, and had truly thought that everything was behind her. But hearing that he was with someone else still made her feel terrible.

She couldn’t understand why he decided to be with someone else so quickly... Who was that woman, really?

Aurora was afraid to see him with another woman, but she couldn’t suppress the burning desire to know more...

People are always so contradictory. But after a breakup, Aurora couldn’t even imagine the possibility of getting back together.

Lost in her thoughts, the next day arrived.

Aurora put on a face mask, and her complexion looked a little better. Dominic had already bought her a gift: a high-end jade bracelet worth 100,000, along with a ginseng that was several hundred years old—quite valuable.

These gifts were quite expensive, and Aurora felt a bit pained.

Mrs. Wilson had never been fond of her or her mother, and now it was her birthday, yet she had to prepare such an extravagant gift...

"Don’t feel bad. After all, you’re an artist. If the gift is too cheap, people will talk, and you’ll end up embarrassing yourself," Eleanor said, seeing Aurora’s pained expression, and couldn’t help but laugh.

Many people become wasteful after becoming famous, but Aurora still had her original values, which was great.

Aurora nodded with a faint smile. "I understand, thank you, Eleanor. You’re so generous and considerate. I’m starting to feel like you’re my mom!"

"Get lost, I’m not that old!" Eleanor replied with a mix of laughter and frustration.

Aurora was in a great mood. Before leaving, she tied her long hair up with a simple water diamond hair tie, dressed in a deep red silk long-sleeve dress that accentuated her graceful figure.

Eleanor and Dominic both rated the outfit highly, saying it was perfect for her—elegant without being overly formal.

Originally, Eleanor was going to accompany her, but Aurora declined, asking only Dominic to wait outside.

At 4:30 PM, Aurora arrived at the Wilson home, which was already bustling. Abigail, Madison, and her uncles and aunts were also there.

As expected, Hazel had also arrived. Although she had married someone else, Hazel was very good at handling situations. Before her marriage, she had done a lot of persuading work with Mrs. Wilson.

After all, she sent Mrs. Wilson a large sum of money every month. With no son left, the elderly woman couldn’t be stubborn anymore, so she allowed it.

As for Abigail, she mentioned that Alexander and that woman had yet to arrive.

Mrs. Wilson wasn’t in the living room. The household servants respectfully took the gift Aurora brought. When Abigail saw her, she immediately sneered, "Oh, I thought you wouldn’t dare to come. But then again, your status has skyrocketed, and you’ve signed with NJ Company for advertisements. How could you not come back and show off?"

Aurora gave her a faint glance and politely greeted her uncle and aunt.

Her uncle, Mr. Wilson, was quite happy to see her, but Mrs. Wilson only snorted and didn’t say much.

Aurora was then pulled over by Kimi to play games. Although Kimi was often a bit spoiled, he actually liked his cousin a lot.

Aurora’s only real connection was with this little cousin.

Kimi was only four or five years old, unaware of the ways of the world, but he knew Aurora was kind to him. Every time she came back, she would buy him gifts, and when his mom scolded him, as long as Aurora was there, she would always protect him.

Little cousin Madison, however, walked over and pulled Kimi away from playing with Aurora. "Kimi, why are you so pathetic? She doesn’t even want to play with you. You got kicked out of school, and she didn’t even ask anyone to help you. Why are you still playing with her?"

Madison’s tone was sharp, exactly like Mrs. Wilson’s attitude.

Truly, like mother, like daughter. Aurora couldn’t help but feel helpless.

Kimi shrugged off his sister’s hand and pouted, saying, "Cousin is really nice to me. She’s not as bad as you say... It’s you... you never play with me!"

Madison, furious, slapped her brother on the head. Mrs. Wilson, seeing this, was livid and shouted, "Madison, why did you hit your brother? Aurora, as his older cousin, can’t you try to mediate? This is all your fault!"

Aurora was speechless. It wasn’t even her fault—Madison had hit Kimi because she was angry, so how did it end up being her problem?

"Kimi, stop playing. There are guests coming soon. Go over there and watch TV," Aurora gently coaxed him.

Kimi glared at Madison and said, "Mom, it’s not Aurora’s fault. She didn’t hit me, it was my sister!"

"Shut up, go over there and sit down. Don’t watch TV, it’ll ruin your eyes. Don’t listen to your cousin’s nonsense!" Mrs. Wilson huffed coldly, glaring at Aurora with disapproval.

Aurora felt even more speechless. After all, the TV program was an adult drama, and Kimi probably wouldn’t even last five minutes before leaving.

Still, Mrs. Wilson seemed to think she was the troublemaker.

Aurora quietly returned to the sofa, bored, and began fiddling with her phone. Her younger sister Abigail came over and said with a mocking tone, "Well, well, Aurora, why are you so bored? Aren’t you the future little queen, the rising star promoted by LXL? Yet here you are, not even being welcomed. Feeling pretty down, huh?"

Abigail laughed triumphantly, while Hazel gave her daughter a faint look, "Abigail, don’t speak like that. Have a little class."

"Mom, why are you siding with outsiders?" Abigail rolled her eyes in displeasure.

Hazel tapped her daughter on the head, "I’m doing this for your own good. If you don’t change your attitude, how will you ever marry into a good family?"

Although Hazel had been a mistress, she knew how to handle people. She had endured everything, and to make it this far, she had worked hard. She understood the rules of high society, but most importantly, a woman’s character needed to be gentle and able to endure hardships to secure her place as a wife in a wealthy family.

Abigail’s spoiled personality, indulged by Mrs. Wilson, meant that even if she married into a rich family, she’d probably face a lot of hardships.

Abigail pouted proudly, "Mom, the man who truly loves me will accept all my flaws!"

Hazel had had enough and frowned, "Come with me, I need to talk to you."

Before leaving, Hazel cast a cold glance at Aurora and said, "Aurora, since we’ve had the fate of being mother and daughter, let me give you some advice. It’s not easy for a female celebrity to marry into a good family. If you get married earlier and take up a proper job, maybe you still have a chance."

Hazel then pulled Abigail away. Aurora felt nauseous. Did her stepmother really think she became a singer just by using her body to climb up?

On the side, Madison chimed in, "Aunt Wilson is right. Heh, a showgirl—how many good endings can she have? I can’t wait to see someone get dumped and end up with a mess. Let’s see how she survives after that."

Aurora didn’t respond, only coldly curling her lips into a sarcastic smile. Abigail’s words were just as naive as her old self.

At that moment, a man and a woman walked in, making Aurora freeze for a moment.
