Chapter 1285
But Grace hadn’t shown the slightest intention of stepping in.
That alone made Lucas‘ chest tighten with cold anger on Aurora’s behalf.
With a mother like this, he thought, she’d be better off without one.
In his eyes, Grace was the very picture of a failed parent. If she couldn’t even care for her own daughter, how could she possibly run a company?
His gaze hardened as he looked at her.
What kind of children could ever come from a mother like this?
Fortunately, Aurora hadn’t been brainwashed by her.
She had her own mind, her own principles.
Otherwise, he was certain Grace would have raised her into nothing more than someone who lived under her thumb, forced to obey in everything, and blamed for anything that went wrong.
“Looks like letting my daughter marry you was a mistake,” Grace snapped suddenly, her words laced with scorn.
The moment she said it, both Aurora and Lucas exchanged a glance, their hearts sinking.
Was she actually regretting it now?
Aurora quickly reached out, holding Lucas back and giving him a subtle shake of her head, signaling him not to get involved.
“Marrying him was my decision, and you have no right to interfere,” Aurora said, a mocking curve on her lips.
“Besides, if I hadn’t chosen to marry, would I ever have been allowed into the company?”
Grace was speechless.
She hadn’t expected Aurora to throw that back in her face.
