"Initially, I wanted to help you, since we're sisters, after all.
"As long as Luna died, the real heiress of the Landry family won't be able to return, but now...
"It's all my fault. I already knew how incompetent you were, yet I still let you take on such a challenging task. Now, you have no other way of getting out... If Joshua comes searching for you, you won't be able to hide from him in Banyan City.
"Even though I'm your sister, I’m too far away, and I can't help you much..."
Aura bit her lip when she heard this. "Don't worry, Sis.”
She narrowed her eyes and continued, "If I'm going to die, I'll drag Luna and her three rascals down with me!”
The woman on the other end of the line sniffed. "But Aura, I still want you to come home alive..."
Aura narrowed her eyes but did not reply. Instead, she hung up the phone.
When she hung up, the camera on the TV screen had shifted onto Joshua, who had one arm wrapped around Luna's shoulder tenderly. He was talking about hosting a memorial service for Granny Lynch.
The intimacy between Joshua and Luna made Aura feel as though thorns were pricking into her heart.
She picked up something from the table and smashed it on the ground in anger.
That b*tch!
How could that b*tch Luna find a way to surpass her every time? If it were not for Luna, she would not even become so jealous!
It was all Luna’s fault!
Aura slumped down in the mess of shattered glass, panting.
The door was pushed open.
One of the clinic staff glared at her and snapped, "Do you know you just smashed five thousand dollars' worth of equipment? There are only five thousand dollars left in the prepaid account that Adrian left for u s. Now, you've run out of money, and Adrian has been sent to jail."
