Chapter 140

Eileen’s eyes were sparkling with excitement.

She looked at Aurora and asked sincerely, “Tell me, if you snuff out a candle with your fingers, does it hurt?”

Aurora nodded hurriedly, nodding like a madwoman.

Eileen blinked and said, “I don’t believe it, I’m going to try!”

With that, she shoved the lit candle down….

“Ugh!”

“Ugh!”

Two muffled moans sounded almost simultaneously.

Aurora was so scared her heart nearly leapt out of her chest. But when she came to her senses, she realized she didn’t feel the expected burn.

Turning her head, she saw that Eileen’s candle had landed directly on Hubery.

An immediate burn mark appeared on Hubery’s hand.

Aurora’s eyes grew wide in shock.

Eileen picked up the extinguished candle and tossed it aside, then began to look for other tools.

As she looked, she said, “Miss Aurora, don’t freak out. I treat you differently than him, I won’t really hurt you. But, I’m curious, why are you asking for trouble?”

Aurora, with tear stains all over her face, shook her head at Eileen.

Eileen nodded and said, “Hmm, I know you want to say this has nothing to do with you, that it’s all Hubery’s doing. To be honest, I believe you. You’re just a woman, a little bit of a drama queen, a bit shameless, but your actions are just small potatoes, just trying to scare people, talking about irrelevant things. I don’t think you’d really hurt anyone.”

Aurora nodded hurriedly, crying and nodding.

Eileen said, “So, I didn’t hurt you, right? I’ve been pretty decent to you.”

Aurora cried even harder, but with Eileen staring at her, she could only nod her agreement.

At this moment, Eileen found a bottle of sulfuric acid.

She raised an eyebrow and said, “This is an old friend of mine.”

-Then, she put on gloves and picked up the bottle of acid.

Upon seeing the sulfuric acid, Hubery immediately forgot about his burn, his face filled with terror.

Eileen turned to Aurora and said, “Miss Aurora, do you know why Hubery wanted to drag you into this? He didn’t need your help to attack me. He could have used any other excuse to lure me out, could have done it a long time ago. But why did he want you to be the one to do it? And why today?”

Aurora didn’t know, she just looked at Eileen in pain.

Eileen said, “Because he’s clever. Your stylist invited me to dinner, we entered the private room together, it’s all recorded on camera. If something happened to me, wouldn’t you be the prime suspect?”
