Chapter 276 The Man Who Took Notice
Karen felt a sense of panic as she met Aurora's piercing gaze.
"What do you want to see me for?" she asked, thinking about the things she had done in the past.
Aurora caught Karen's momentary guilt in her eyes and sneered, "Isn't it obvious why I'm here to see
you?"
Karen grew increasingly agitated as Aurora approached her.
"I have nothing to say to you! Get out!" she shouted.
"I'm afraid I'll let you down." Replied Aurora calmly, "I haven't finished settling our accounts yet."
Karen had a sense of foreboding and she asked, "What do you want from me?"
Ignoring Karen's attempts at bravado, Aurora spoke directly, "Do you not realize what you've done? Do
you have any idea how your father would feel if he knew his beloved daughter was involved in illegal
activities back home?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Karen protested.
As more and more people began to take notice of their conversation and whisper amongst themselves,
Karen tried desperately to maintain her composure and threatened her, "If you don't leave now I'll call
security!"
Aurora chuckled coldly at this threat. It was clear that Karen had grown up sheltered and privileged,
always believing that no matter what wrongs they committed they could get away with it unscathed.
Unfortunately for her though, today wasn't going according to plan, since today she'd crossed paths
with Aurora.
"Don't you remember what happened?" said Aurora slowly and deliberately as if passing judgement on
a criminal case, "Why were you wandering around near Crescent Group's factory two days ago? Were
the air quality levels better over there or something?"
Karen couldn't hold back anymore. Her legs were weakened by fright and she laid both hands on the
table to support herself.
Then she thought of the surveillance cameras around the factory. She hadn't erased the records yet.
However, she was still suspicious of Aurora's "accusation".
"Why I went there, what is it to you?" spat Karen indignantly, "Who are you anyway? Do I need your
permission before going somewhere now?"
Aurora took two steps forward and then grabbed hold of Karen's wrist.
"You don't have to show your teeth and claws in front of me. I have enough evidence to prove that you
were the one who caused this incident. You can be sent to prison!" said Aurora.
"Let go of me!"
Karen failed to shake her hand off and then yelled, "Who are you?! You live for seducing guys with your
face! Let go of me!"
Then, a crisp sound startled everyone, with an unbelievable surprise on their faces. The burning pain in
her face reminded Karen that everything just now was not an illusion, and suddenly she felt like she
was going crazy.
"You slut dare to hit me! I'll make you pay the price!"
She struggled to fight back, but Aurora slapped her in the face again.
Looking at Karen's pitiful look, she said in a satirical tone, "So, are you cool now? Your father gave birth
to you but didn't teach you how to be a good person. Today, I will act as a good person and teach you a
lesson."
Karen was furious while covering her face. She started to stammer but was too vexed to say anything.
Aurora nudged her out of the way and said, "If you provoke me again, it won't be as simple as these
two slaps. Go ahead and bet your life on it, if you want to sit in jail!"
She gave Karen a contemptuous glance before cutting through the whispering crowd to leave.
"What are you looking at?" snapped Karen, venting her anger to the staff.
The others retreated to their seats and lowered their heads, only to feel a bit mocked at her.
Karen felt aggrieved as she cried and ran back to the office, covering her mouth.
In an estate in Y country, Cameron Dawson had just finished playing golf and took off his gloves to
hand them to his assistant, Mark.
"Sir, there's something wrong with the domestic company."
"What's the matter?"
Cameron glanced at him, adjusting his cuffs.
"The subcontractor factory was found to have exceeded the chemical use limit and failed to meet
formaldehyde regulations. Miss Robertson handled it timely, so nothing serious has happened yet.
However, the factory can no longer continue production." Mark said while keeping an eye on his boss's
expression.
"So is she in trouble now?" His worried emotions leaked out uncontrollably.
"Miss Robertson has been quite busy lately but it seems like the CEO of Carroll Group has been
accompanying her."
"Sion Carroll?"
Cameron sneered and said, "Is he helping her or harassing her?"
He knew Aurora never gave that man good treatment.
Mark didn't comment.
Cameron took off his duckbill cap and tidied up his well-groomed black hair before saying, "Prepare a
plane ticket for me, I'll come back home."
Mark wasn't surprised by this request and replied obediently, "Yes sir."
The next morning when Aurora arrived at work, she saw Sion standing outside with a calm expression
on his face. He had been coming over from time to time under the guise of 'helping' her recently but
she had gotten used to it by now. And this time was no exception either.
She didn't want anything else to do with him but since he had just helped her out greatly not too long NôvelDrama.Org content.
ago, ignoring him would be too ungrateful of her.
She sighed inwardly before saying calmly, "Come in."
Sion walked into the office, holding some documents in hand.
Aurora understood immediately that he wasn't here just for small talk.
"These are all inspection reports for all raw materials used in your factory. Take a look." Sion walked up
beside her with warm eyes only reserved for this woman.
"Our suspicions were correct after all." Said he.
"Thank you for your help," Aurora said as she took the documents from him and began reading them
carefully.
Everything was within expectations.
Karen's reaction yesterday had indirectly admitted everything. However, due to Albie's relationship with
Karen, they hadn't called law enforcement yet. But if there were another incident, Aurora wouldn't let go
easily.
While looking at the information, anger slowly crept onto Aurora's face.
