Chapter 193

“Tell me more about her,” Lily said, her curiosity growing.

“Well, she’s around 26 years old,” Ethan began. “She lives nearby with her grandmother in a modest apartment. During the day, she works at a café, and at night, she sings here under the alias ‘Mysterious Woman.‘ Her parents passed away in a car accident three years ago, which forced her to leave her studies. Despite working in a place like this, her record is spotless–no shady activities. Oh, and she has a three–year- old child.”

“A child?” Lily repeated, surprised.

“Was she married?”

Ethan shrugged. “I couldn’t find any information about that.”

Lily nodded thoughtfully. Aurora’s past didn’t concern her much; what mattered was her exceptional singing talent. If Aurora agreed to her proposal, it would be a perfect arrangement. Lily could use her voice to take revenge against Riley while showcasing a unique talent. As she mulled over her plan, she noticed Aurora finishing her song. The crowd erupted with a mix of applause and crude remarks from less respectful patrons.

Lily’s expression soured at the vulgar comments. Such a mesmerizing voice deserved admiration, not disrespect. Her resolve to help Aurora grew stronger.

“So, what’s your decision? Do you want her?” Ethan asked, watching his wife’s face closely.

“Of course,” Lily replied confidently. Her gaze shifted back to Aurora, who was leaving the stage. “Let’s follow her. She’s heading out.”

“Alright,” Ethan said, standing up. He took Lily’s hand as they prepared to leave, but just as they took their first step, a woman in a red dress blocked their path.

Before either of them could react, the woman stumbled into Ethan’s arms. He instinctively caught her but quickly pushed her away, his face contorting with disgust. The force of his push made the woman stagger, and she barely managed to steady herself by grabbing a nearby table. Looking up, she pouted dramatically.
