Aurora Walton and Lucas Carter novel Chapter 1156

She turned to Tessa Besides, isn’t my sister Tessa still here? She studied the same field as I did. I’m sure her abilities aren’t much different from mine.”

At that, everyone followed her gaze toward Tessa.

Seeing that she could no longer pretend to stay silent, Tessa forced an awkward smile before stepping forward. “Sister, are you still upset with me?”

She deliberately shifted the focus back onto Aurora.

Aurora couldn’t help but laugh. Tessa, that’s a funny way to put it.”

“How can you speak like that? She’s your sister,” Grace scolded sharply.

Aurora turned her eyes on her. “Madam Grace, this is a shareholders‘ meeting. Why drag family into it? What’s next–when negotiating projects, should we throw ourselves on the client’s lap and call him

daddy?”

The words were harsh, almost cutting.

Faces around the room darkened. None of them had expected such things to be said between mother and daughters.

They had thought the three of them shared a close bond, but now it all looked like a façade.

If even feelings could be staged, why should anyone here treat the company with such gravity?

Grace slammed the table and stood. “Aurora, how dare you speak like this? Do you even see me as your

mother anymore?”

Aurora gave a cold smile. “And do you see me as your daughter? If you don’t, why should I treat you as an elder? Don’t try to pull rank on me. I’d rather we both walk away with dignity.”

Grace pressed a hand to her chest, staring at Aurora in disbelief.

Never had she imagined her daughter would confront her like this in front of so many people.

In her eyes, Aurora no longer acknowledged her as a mother at all.

Tessa quickly rushed forward, patting her chest in concern. “Mom, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell

anywhere?”

Grace shook her head and smiled at Tessa. “You really are the thoughtful one. With you here, I feel so

much more at ease.”

Aurora’s gaze lingered on Grace, a flicker of worry hidden beneath her otherwise cool expression.

Hearing Grace say that, Aurora’s sharp gaze returned.

So, her earlier worry had been pointless. With Tessa by her side, her mother clearly needed nothing from

her.

Looking at it now, she really was nothing more than a fool. Everything she’d done had only paved the way for someone else.
