Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!-Chapter 607: I’m Sorry (Extra Story)

Before Grandma passed away, she often told Alexander that his father’s death was caused by a heart attack triggered by anger.

That night, Mrs. Lewis had an argument with Lewis’s dad because he had sent a bowl of chicken to Lewis’s grandmother, which displeased her. This led to a quarrel, causing Lewis’s dad to suddenly fall ill and pass away.

In Alexander’s memory, his mother, though not the easiest person to get along with, was never unreasonable. He thought Grandma was just senile, speaking nonsense.

But at this moment, Alexander suddenly felt that Grandma’s words might actually be true.

His heart ached with anger as he stormed out, Mrs. Lewis, both angry and anxious, had no choice but to leave with Peyton and head home to discuss it.

Mrs. Lewis firmly believed that her son would eventually return to her side.

Aurora sat in the car, fixing her hair, while even her new male bodyguard shook his head from the backseat. "Miss Wilson, I think you really should stop contacting your ex-boyfriend. Even if you’re reluctant, you need to sever ties. Marrying into that kind of family will be the start of your suffering. I’ve never met such a spoiled woman before."

Aurora smiled bitterly. "Thank you, I know."

The bodyguard smiled awkwardly. He had heard of what kind of artist Aurora was, but now that he saw her in person, he actually thought she was pretty decent.

Dominic nodded in agreement.

"I think he’s right," Dominic said. "Aurora, don’t contact him anymore. He’s a grown man who can’t even manage his own mother, letting her chase after you..."

Dominic was at a loss for words, while Aurora forced a bitter smile. So what? At this point, she no longer had any hope for Alexander.

It wasn’t because of Everett, but because of his terrible mother, and the way she had completely crushed any hope. She would never forget the cold, mocking look from him.

It was like a thorn in her heart, a sword that she couldn’t remove. The more she thought about it, the more it tore at her heart.

"Aurora, you don’t still want to be with that man, do you?" Dominic asked in a low voice, noticing Aurora’s changing expression.

"No, don’t worry about it. Just drive," Aurora replied with a light laugh. "It seems I should just stay home more often. I keep running into such bad luck when I go out. I really shouldn’t leave the house."

Dominic silently pitied Aurora. She was clearly a good person. Why did she have to be judged so harshly by Mrs. Lewis, compared to that white-lotus woman?

Aurora had already decided on the gifts she wanted. She had picked them online and asked Dominic to take pictures for her, or to get some details from the shops. She’d just have him buy them for her.

Back at the villa, Eleanor had just returned home. Seeing Aurora’s gloomy expression, she quickly asked what had happened.

Aurora wearily sank into the sofa, and Dominic told Eleanor everything that had happened in the mall.

Eleanor frowned and said with displeasure, "That woman is a real shrew. Thank goodness you didn’t end up with Alexander. If you had married him, that marriage would’ve been ruined by his crazy mother."

Aurora rubbed her temples, a helpless smile on her face. "You’re right. I’m kind of relieved. Mrs. Lewis never liked me, but I never imagined she could be so vicious. People say that a wicked mother-in-law can ruin three generations... Maybe I should be thankful that Alexander dumped me!"

Eleanor patted her shoulder. "Don’t laugh, I’m speaking the truth. I have several friends who married into wealthy families, but their mothers-in-law were all kinds of trouble. In the end, they all ended up divorcing. After all, a mother-in-law is the husband’s mother. When the husband becomes the sandwich in the middle, things will only get worse over time and affect your whole life!"

Dominic also nodded in agreement. At forty years old, Eleanor had a wealth of experience, and her words made a lot of sense.

"You don’t need to worry," Aurora said lightly. "I’ve already moved on from the heartbreak. I won’t get back together with him."

Hearing Aurora’s assurance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This was for the best. With Aurora and Alexander no longer in touch, and Mrs. Lewis’ outrageous behavior cut out of her life, she wouldn’t have to deal with any more trouble.

Besides, for someone in the entertainment industry, the worst thing is such petty troubles. Once an artist loses passion for both life and career, they can forget about reaching a new high in their career.

A video of Mrs. Lewis causing a scene with Aurora at the mall was posted online by viewers and quickly spread on Twitter.

Aurora’s name once again became the top trending topic on Twitter. This time, countless people criticized Mrs. Lewis for being too overbearing and vicious, making wild accusations without any evidence.

Of course, Peyton was also bashed as a "white lotus," seemingly trying to mediate the situation, yet her words subtly suggested that Aurora was exactly the type of person Mrs. Lewis had described.

During this time, Aurora hadn’t had any contact with Everett, at least not that was reported by the press.

However, news of her secretly donating to impoverished rural schools had surfaced, earning her more praise and accolades.

Amid the mixed praise and criticism online, Aurora didn’t have time to pay attention to it. The director had asked Eleanor to choose her favorite song within a week.

After all, with over two months left until the new year, there was enough time to shoot the new song’s music video and use the new year for promotion.

Aurora didn’t slack off either. After breaking up with Alexander, she had taken almost three months off, which was long enough.

Aurora thought her connection with Alexander was finally over, especially since he was about to get married. However, early the next morning, he seemed to sneakily call her, speaking cautiously as if afraid someone might overhear.

"Aurora, I’m sorry... last night my mom made such a scene. Are you okay?"

Alexander said softly, his voice filled with guilt.

Aurora had just finished washing her face, and in the mirror, a few droplets of water still clung to her face. The droplets quickly slid down, disappearing into her pajamas.

Her face, with a hint of red, had regained its former vitality. Aurora seemed like a patient who had survived a great ordeal, her body and soul healing, slowly moving forward step by step into the future.

"Alexander, we’ve been lovers for seven years and friends for ten... I know a lot of things weren’t our choice, but at this point... let’s just call it quits."

Aurora thought for a moment and decided she didn’t want to drag things out with him anymore.

Her heart was dead. Continuing this would just be a waste of time. Don’t blame her for being heartless; he was the one who had no heart.

Even if they couldn’t be lovers, didn’t he think he should have helped her in such a situation?

Alexander was taken aback, speaking urgently, "Aurora, don’t say things in anger. I’ll wait for you. I... I still love you, really! If it weren’t for my mom forcing me, I would have come back to you long ago."
