Reborn for Revenge or A Second Chance At Vengeance

Chapter 12 The Disinterest Was Merely An Act

After Aurelia paid the deposit, she decided to pick up the car the next day.

Just as she stepped out of the car dealership, she received a call from Gina.

“Auri, how have you been these past few days? Why haven’t you come to the hospital to visit me?”

As Aurelia listened to the voice of Gina, she was reminded of her past life when she had treated Gina as if she were her own mother. Whenever Gina was in the hospital, she would often keep her company. The other occupants who shared the same ward even thought she was Gina’s daughter.

However, Gina had known all along about the secret relationship between Curtis and Melanie. After Aurelia’s amputation, Gina had called her, insisting that she break up with Curtis. She claimed that Gina was never good enough for her son to begin with, and now that she was an amputee, she was even less suitable.

In that phone call, Gina’s sharp and scathing remarks made her completely different from the amiable and approachable person standing there now. They seemed like two different personalities.

In her previous life, Aurelia was so deeply hurt by that phone call that she was reduced to tears, her heart aching profoundly.

But now, she had become numb.

“It’s just as you had wished. Curtis and I have already broken up. Don’t call me anymore.”

“What…”

The call–end tone rang up after Aurelia hung up.

Lying in the hospital bed, Gina stared at her mobile phone, her face a picture of confusion.

This girl has always been trying to please me, adoring my son to no end. Why does it seem as if she has become a different person today? Is she not afraid of making me angry and that I don’t like her anymore?

With a furrowed brow, she opened WhatsApp and sent a voice message to her son. “Curtis, I’ve just called Auri. She said she has broken up with you and even hung up on me. What on earth is going on?”

Curtis was dining with Melanie at a restaurant when he saw a voice message from his mother, which he converted into text.

After reading it, he immediately felt a sense of uncase.

What on earth happened to Aurelia?

It was ten o’clock at night in the top–floor presidential suite at La Royale Hotel.
