Chapter 207: A Colossal Joke

Aurora followed Finnian upstairs, speaking only when they were out of earshot: "It's been a long time, Miss Montgomery."

"Indeed, it's been ten years, hasn't it? I hear you've become a trusted confidant of my grandfather," Aurora said with a quiet smile upon recognizing an old friend.

"All thanks to your grandfather," Finnian replied respectfully.

"Is it Grandpa who wants to see me this time, or...?" Aurora asked, unworried. After all, she and Magnus were father and daughter; surely her grandfather wouldn't misunderstand her?

"That's fine. I had planned to keep up my disguise a bit longer, but it seems my fun is over too soon," Aurora said, spreading her hands, resigned to the stodgy old ways of the board.

He was the epitome of the boy next door, gentle and polished, unlike the hypocrite Hayden.

"Don't worry, Miss. Your grandfather has everything under control."
