Chapter 688
What was she still struggling with?
Aurora let out a long breath, feeling a wave of irritation as she looked at Tessa’s beaming face.
How did those two even have the audacity to target someone so young back then?
She hadn’t done anything wrong.
It was just that one incident, yet it had ruined her future over and over again.
So, the two of them not only knew each other, but they were actually close, weren’t they?
The thought alone made Aurora ache inside,
She couldn’t help but wonder–what was she supposed to do from here?
Was she really going to let Tessa keep flaunting her power like this?
From harmless tricks at first to now hiring people to go after Megan.
Aurora might not have concrete evidence right now.
But seeing Tessa casually cling to that man’s arm had already erased any doubt in her mind.
So, she’d found someone powerful to back her.
And even if she did something outrageous, what did it matter?
Honestly, everyone could see it plain as day, especially that scene Aurora had just witnessed,
She wasn’t stupid.
She instantly understood the nature of the relationship between Tessa and that man.
Her mind began racing.
Was it because of this man that those thugs never revealed who was behind the attack?
Wasn’t everyone just using each other to get what they wanted?
Aurora burned the image of Nicholas into her memory.
Later, even after she calmed down, she was going to find out exactly who this man was.
Judging by how enthusiastic Tessa was acting, this man must’ve held considerable power for quite some time.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be clinging to him like that.
Aurora could now see clearly what kind of person Tessa truly was.
If there was no benefit involved, there was no way she’d be willing to stick around an older man like that.
It turned out, Tessa played her cards well.
She was still so young yet already getting involved in this kind of thing.
Aurora continued to follow them for a while and soon noticed that everyone in the mall treated Tessa and her group with a great deal of respect,
No matter what they did, there were always attendants following closely behind.
Aurora picked up on that right away.

That man’s identity couldn’t be simple.
Even now, at one of the largest malls in Ravenshore, the staff still showed such deference.
It spoke volumes about who he really was.
Everyone could see it, even if no one said it aloud.
Now that Aurora had a general idea, she knew how to start tracing the path forward.
She watched with her own eyes as the man bought things for both Tessa and Emma.
Emma kept calling him Dad, which made their relationship crystal clear.
From here, investigating along this line would likely yield results faster.
The direction was already clear enough.
His surname was Lee, and he was Emma’s father.
Aurora repeated that in her heart several times before she finally felt at ease.
She didn’t know when she would be able to leave this place, or when ever he was going through would finally end.
But she refused to reach the end of it all without being prepared.
If she did, then wouldn’t all this have been for nothing?
So, she kept following behind the group and saw with her own eyes how this man continued to shower Tessa and Emma with gifts.
