章 43: I'm not weak, I'm not afraid anymore

"Stop your nonsense!" I finally couldn't hold myself back from speaking, Aurora's words were truly unexpected.

She immediately looked at me disdainfully.

"Please, don't judge me like a lowly woman... I'm not like you, shamelessly seducing men to love you... I'm not like that. I'd rather work hard than gain pity just to meet my needs... That's not my lifestyle at all!" I reiterated.

"Oh, really? Do you think I can believe that?" she disputed, while the others just remained silent, watching.

"What Aurora said is true!" His mother spoke again in her cynical tone. "After all, if you were a good girl, you wouldn't be dating my son... you should know your place... I know you want to be part of this family, enjoying our wealth by taking advantage of my son..."

"That's absolutely not true!" I asserted.

"I'm talking about facts, you wretch!" She pointed at me. "If you were truly a good girl and understood your place, you wouldn't have come back!"
