Chapter 538

Chapter 538: She Was Sold and Still Helped Count the Money

Early the next morning, Aurora received a phone call. Julian, sitting across from her, noticed her serious expression. The silver fork he held slipped from his hand and clanged loudly against the plate, the sharp sound breaking the silence.

Outside, the heavy snow had finally stopped. Overnight, the world had been blanketed in a thick layer of white, stretching endlessly into a desolate, frozen expanse.

Fortunately, the sun was shining brightly today, its warm rays piercing through the clouds and illuminating the snowy earth.

Heather had woken up even before dawn. She didn't know why, but unease had crept into her heart the night before, refusing to leave. By six in the morning, she was already up, moving about anxiously.

Heather had just finished washing up when the room's phone rang.

Hearing the word "allergic," Gemma couldn't help the smirk that tugged at her lips. "Looks like the mango did its job," she thought smugly.

"What's going on?" she asked, feigning ignorance.

Heather looked at her coldly. Last night, Gemma had seemed unusually cheerful.

"Did you put mango in Candy's juice?" Heather's tone was sharp.
