Under the heiress facade

Aurora cautiously glanced at Hera. As she did not see any expression on her face, she continued, "Back then, Queenie told me that Isabella sought her out, saying that someone was investigating Robin's case. I wanted to help them leave the country. But I never expected that..."

Hera paused as she was about to extract the needle and looked at Aurora. "So, you ordered Robin to kill my adoptive mother!"

"No, I didn't!" Aurora immediately denied it. "That year, I did consider asking Robin to scare Aunt Daphne because she used the excuse of Lucius being wrongly convicted to keep harassing Aunt Gemma, who just lost her twin brother.

"She had already been through so much, but Aunt Daphne kept making things worse for her. I couldn't take it anymore and wanted to stand up for Aunt Gemma.

"But when Queenie introduced Robin to me and wanted to discuss how to scare Daphne, I changed my mind. I thought about how it couldn't have been easy for Daphne to raise you.

"If something happened to her, no one could care for you. So, I decided to let it go. I truly did not ask Robin to hit her. I also don't know why he ended up killing Daphne in the car accident!"

After explaining everything, Aurora took a deep breath. Sadness, confusion, and regret filled her eyes.

"After Aunt Daphne's death, I was very regretful of what happened. If I never had the idea, perhaps she would still be fine now.

"But once someone is dead, you can't bring them back to life, so I could only keep this a secret. But I never expected Queenie to inform me that someone was investigating the case. I felt guilty, so I decided to keep Isabella and Madison hidden." Hera coldly looked at her. "Where's the proof?"
