Chapter 184 Ungrateful and Picky
“You don’t like the style?” Regina asked coldly.
Aurora pressed her lips together, glancing at Isabelle, who was watching her calmly while eating grapes.

She forced a mocking smile. “It’s not that I dislike it. But who does this style anymore? The whole place smells like wood. Still, you can’t really blame Isabelle…”
“If you don’t like it, we’ll tear it out. Do a full renovation.” Damian’s voice came from behind them.
He stood there in a full suit, his coat draped over his arm. The white shirt and vest outlined the solid muscles of his chest perfectly.
Isabelle stared at him. It had been a while since she looked at him like this. He still had that commanding air.
My man is so handsome.
Everyone in the room tensed at his voice.
His tone was icy, carrying an immense pressure.
Aurora was startled but quickly turned triumphant.
She smiled sweetly at Damian, “You always take such good care of me, Dami. But Isabelle already finished it. Let’s not make things hard for her. She’s not that familiar with city tastes, after all.”
Isabelle popped another grape into her mouth and let out a soft, derisive huff.
Regina pulled her arm away from Aurora in disgust, walked past her, and sat down beside Isabelle.
Isabelle smiled, feeding Regina a grape, “Don’t let it get to you.”
“Just as you said. Ungrateful and picky,” Regina muttered under her breath, clearly furious.
Damian glanced at Aurora, then walked toward Isabelle, completely ignoring Mia and Ella.
“So, you said it smells like wood. You don’t like it?” he asked.
Aurora, Mia, and Ella sat together on the sofa opposite. “Of course, I like what Isabelle picked,” Aurora said carefully. “It’s just the smell. When my other friends arrive, I’m afraid it might seem a bit… rustic. Wouldn’t that reflect poorly on you?”
She added the last part cautiously, afraid of triggering his anger.
Regina gave a cold laugh. “Rustic‘? I chose the design style. Isabelle paid for it out of her own pocket. Over four hundred thousand dollars for renovation and furniture. If you don’t like it, I’ll have it all torn out tomorrow. I’ll take every piece of furniture. You can pay for your own renovation.”
Aurora, Mia, and Ella were stunned.
Regina
chose the style?
Isabelle paid for it?

Isabelle had known this would be a hot potato. She couldn’t take it on directly–it would only lead to endless trouble.
That was why she’d specifically involved Regina from the start.

Aurora was afraid of losing favor with the Cross family. This way, by having them involved, everyone’s interests were balanced.
“Regina, I…” Aurora tried to explain but couldn’t find the words.
“‘Over four hundred thousand dollars seems rustic‘?” Isabelle said mildly. “I wonder how much is in your own bank account, Aurora?”
Aurora’s account certainly wasn’t flush. Whatever she had came from those men.
She hadn’t even gotten a job yet, still hoping to push Isabelle aside and take her place.
“Isabelle has never spent a single cent of mine. She paid for this herself. Aurora, my debt to you is settled,” Damian said, hanging his jacket over the sofa. He crossed his legs, surveying the apartment’s interior.
Isabelle had good taste. At least, he liked it.
“Dami, that’s not what I meant,” Aurora said, her eyes welling up with tears, trying to salvage the situation.
“Mr. Cross, it was our mistake. We didn’t realize it.” Mia hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
“Yes, the style is actually quite cozy,” Ella added quickly, knowing better than to argue with Damian.
