Chapter 1871

Aldor and Aurora were equally perplexed, unable to understand Keegan's anger.

Aurora, realizing the predicament Cordelia had put her in with Aldor, turned to her brother Keegan for support. She cautiously said, "Keegan, Grandma wants me to get engaged to Aldor."

Keegan took a moment, glanced at Aldor, and dryly commented, "Marrying my sister doesn't mean a pay raise."

Trying to reason with her brother, Aurora pointed out, "Look at us, Keegan. Do you really think Aldor and I are a good match?"
